The smell of fear and pathetic desperation permeates the 'Verse as corporations swallow the red pill and wrap themselves in the holy mantra of "Maximum Profit No Matter the Cost!". Quality is a forgotten concept as short term and short sighted changes are made helter-skelter then altered again when revenue fails to meet expectations. The old, stodgy and moderately profitable base is ignored in hyper flamed pursuit of youthful eyes and wallets as CCP charts it's new vector towards "Angry Aliens" or some such silliness. High performance creations are torn down and discarded in favor of fluff-like changes that disrupt the rhythm and quality of game play.
Even though Ascension's implementation was flawed that's not really the point I'm attempting to make. Yes, I had to reinstall one account, along with the log in hassle and yes, the new voice is grating, and I'm reasonably sure I'll run into more speed bumps as we trip lightly down the yellow brick road.
But the question in my mind is why these constant major expansions are even necessary? I can understand the occasional patch job to deal with the normal glitches, bugs and player exploits but ripping whole segments out that work really well just to insert a glitzier version (think character sheets) simply does not make sense.
Game complexity has out stripped my admittedly low dose mental abilities, I am now something called an Omega clone with abilities I have no clue what to do with. Along with Plex, Arum, implants, extractors, more clone types, strategies, tactics and things people write about in the forums along with all those mysterious abbreviations that mean not that much to me I am beginning to feel like I missed the two year college course that is required to play this game.
No, I'm not quitting, and no, you can't have my stuff (you know who you are) but I would love to see CCP allow this big beautiful game to stabilize itself to the point where normal people like me can reasonably expect to achieve some sort of mastery before it's all ripped out for new stuff just to have new stuff. A couple new things every year or so should be enough to keep the drama queens happy, especially as there is so much to do that old space can become new space just by changing game objectives.

Have you heard anything I've said?
You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?
That's right.
Had to end sometime.

I like it. I also like the transition phasing rather than complete uprooting of a system which really does kill games, see Star Wars Galaxies. The new character sheet when you adjust to it makes a lot of sense. I can access ship-fighting things more clearly.
For some reason my RattleSnake got 130 more DPS and about another 12K EHP. So that's a win. |

Yeah, this game is not really designed for someone with 'low-dose' mental ability. My advice. Don't worry too much about the gory details. Play the game as you see fit. Stay in high-security space and fly around. Get blown up by Code several times to learn the basic pvp experience. Reship and repeat a few dozen times until you learn from mistakes.
Eventually move to Low- or Null- and play the real EvE.
Some people don't like CODE tactics... but they do teach noobs valuable lessons. |

There is only one real EVE and you are playing it. Suit yourself.

On the verse of Trainspotting ill just leave this here
Choose Avatar. Choose a Skill. Choose a career. Choose a Corp. Choose a fking big ship, choose guns, web, warp scramblers and ECCM mods. Choose clone, Attributes, and Skill Plan. Choose fixed Bookmarks in space. Choose a System. Choose your friends. Choose Missions and PVP. Choose an alliance with ship fking replacement. Choose Manufacturing and wondering who the fk you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that chair watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing mining ops, stuffing fking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, wishing yourself you could quit, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fked up brats you spawned when you podded back to station.
Choose your Alpha.
Choose EvE.

That's some deep inspirational wisdom. I need a day or two to let all that information soak into my feeble mind. Thank you for the guidance. |

Looking after the old game isn't something that CCP are particularly doing at the moment. They are all about change and trying to support new players. Adapt or die.

Your point was understood. Nothing has changed if you're an Omega clone. They have just given you more toys and options to play with. |
