Verlyn	Posted - 2007.11.22 19:46:00 - [1] Other than to add to the space opera hype and get lots of dream frenzied noobs to join? But I mean anyway, that'll be more peasants to kill for me anyway...FUN!
An Anarchyyt Gallente Sublime.	Posted - 2007.11.22 19:48:00 - [2] Feel that wind? That's the point flying over your head. Originally by: CCP Wrangler Second, a gentile is a non jewish person
Vladimir Ilych Gradient Electus Matari	Posted - 2007.11.22 19:48:00 - [3] Seems to me you answered your own question. Personally I am happy to see any new content / features. If stuff gets "balanced" I adapt.
Phoenix Lord The Arrow Project Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2007.11.22 19:49:00 - [4] If CCP didnt update the graphics engine, they wouldnt be able to attract more new players and some players may end up leaving in the future for upcoming space MMOs. Its a matter of survival :p _____
Chainsaw Plankton IDLE GUNS	Posted - 2007.11.22 19:54:00 - [5] because internet spaceships deserve to be pretty
ViolenTUK Gallente Vindicated Exiles 101010 Alliance	Posted - 2007.11.22 19:55:00 - [6] I like the game eve but we all can see how dated it looks today. Trinity looks promising. www.eve-players.com
Claska Amarr XxTiggerxX Corp SOUL CARTEL	Posted - 2007.11.22 20:03:00 - [7] Becuase EVE's underlying technology is like, 10 years old?
Nicholas Barker MASS Ministry Of Amarrian Secret Service	Posted - 2007.11.22 20:10:00 - [8] because they're also updating the code behind the game while they're at it, and a lot of the programmers who specialize in graphics and such need something to do. ---
Sathenu	Posted - 2007.11.22 20:11:00 - [9] Apparently, tritnity will solve alot of LAG issues, specially client side lag, as most of the rendering will be on the GFX and not CPU.. The updated gfx is a bonus

Its a matter of survival :p Yea, survival is a matter of looking cool...hahaha Can't wait for photorealist graphics...if it's not already there, or could be argued it's been there for the past 10 years, until players need for ****ographic imagery increased.

Terail Zoqial	Posted - 2007.11.22 20:54:00 - [21] The gfx look okay (although a bit boxy from the WIP's), not too bothered about anything else in the patch tbh. Still, some patches you love, others you loathe and others you just don't get excited about
Nigel Sheldon	Posted - 2007.11.22 20:57:00 - [22] i hear trinity is gonna make lower end machines handle it better, which is good news for me as I am suprised my laptop runs it at all. So Trinity is a godsend to me.

EVE Online: Trinity Feature Site More bugs, new bugs, never before in the annals of computing ever seen bugs, bugs that cannot exist yet do bugs............... Looking forward to it Got some extremely LONG skills prepped and ready to go.
Stitcher Caldari legion of qui Terra Incognita.	Posted - 2007.11.22 21:01:00 - [24] I would have thought extra pretties alone would be more than enough justification.... - The game is not the problem. The problem is that you are not adapting to the game.

EVE Online: Trinity Feature Site those are all just features, not the point.. reduced lag is the point. The improved graphics is the feature.

EVE Online: Trinity Feature Site those are all just features, not the point.. What's the point of a new expansion? To give a game more features. Thus, features = the point. Just as an aside, Trinity really does look like the secks, and I for one cannot wait for it.

EVE Online: Trinity Feature Site Wrangler: will the new graphics engine get bottled up on the GPU? Or will the new graphics engine be able to utilize both the CPU and GPU under heavy load. For that matter, will the new graphics engine be able to utilize dual cores? Or even quad cores for that matter?

Siege Minmatar Siegecraft Bounty Hunting	Posted - 2007.11.22 22:47:00 - [32] Lots of good stuff to look forward to, regardless of age. Massively improved graphics engine. Huge UI improvements, which are just the very beginning of UI improvements. New drone AI, drone hotkeys, drone control settings, new drones. Supposedly huge client performance improvements. Not sure if the new server balancing software will be in this one, I've seen hints that they are working on it, but not hard info about when it comes out. ------ begin signature ----- Little known Eve fact, The original race names were: Amarr Empire, Caldar Empire, Minmatar Republic, The Jovians, and The Remanaquie Federation.

Federation	Posted - 2007.11.23 00:26:00 - [38] Edited by: zeeZ Exus on 23/11/2007 00:26:27 What's the point of arguing about internet spaceship punctuation? What's the point of playing this game? It doesn't give us food and hell it doesn't help us reproduce so it's completely irrelevant.

Quote: Hey its true :P if EVE continues to look like it does now, its going to seem amazingly ugly in another year and no one would really bother to even check it out. Ugly? GTFO! Hell, I still regard Super Mario Bros beautiful. Well switching the engine from CPU to GPU for lag reasons seems fair enough. But I still wonder if making larger or more efficient, "coping" highways ever solved anything, less lag surely means more capacity, more capacity = more people and more people = MORE LAG! Am I missing something?

Am I missing something? Ugly is opinion and also relative. Note how i said in another year or so. By then, games would look even better than games like crysis do now. Compared to that, EVE would be a POS graphics wise if it stayed like it is now. EVE looked good a few years back, now its just... average. _____

Danae Melios Azteca Transportation Unlimited	Posted - 2007.11.23 01:14:00 - [45] Personally, I don't regard things like graphics as very important. It is gameplay that makes or breaks a game-- I've never heard someone say that they stopped playing a game because it was "ugly" or "outdated," but I know people who stop playing games of all stripes when a better system comes out. "Better system" means different things to different people, of course. Eyecandy is always a draw, but it doesn't keep people coming back. And I don't know about over in Europe, but in this area of the U.S. marketing is purely word of mouth. Graphics don't mean a thing when there's no advertising to draw people in with, other than the odd trailer at GenCon. Of course maybe I'm just an old fogey who doesn't "get" gamers, but the crowd I run with will ask "Does this game accomplish what it advertises? Is it fun to play? Is it a cookie cutter game or does it contain a bit of originality?" From this standpoint, upgrading the graphics engine to reduce lag is the point. Adding exploration environments all over the cluster is part of lower midrange player retention, I think. Allowing corporations to advertise specific needs without spamming all over creation is good for helping nurture the virtual communities created in Eve. Adding higher content ships for mission running caters to a large segment of the Eve population, potentially increasing their time in Eve, if only because of a longer skill grind needed to reach the pinnacle. Special forces, which tends to draw smaller gangs, are getting a boost with the other new battleships. Reduction of lag and retention of targeted audiences seem to be the primary points of Trinity, from my point of view. Originally by: game box Conceive a new life without boundaries, where murder, plunder, betrayal, and delusions of grandeur will lead you to boundless glory or to the brink of ruin.
