Vertisce Soritenshi Varion Galactic Tragedy. 1330	Posted - 2012.03.25 14:31:00 - [3] - Quote When they showed off that Leviathan exploding with all the micro explosions and the ship breaking in half I yelled out "** YES!" and startled my wife that was watching with me. That stuff needs to happen not only with larger ships but with ALL ships! YES! DO IT! EvE is not about PvP.-á EvE is about the SANDBOX! - CCP!-á Open the door!!!**
Vertisce Soritenshi Varion Galactic Tragedy. 1337	Posted - 2012.03.26 15:18:00 - [4] - Quote So you want them to wait to do a graphics upgrade until AFTER they introduce more stuff for them to have to upgrade? Where are you pulling these 50% and 80% numbers from? They smell funny... Multiboxing is running multiple boxes with a client running on each one. Running multiple clients on one box is something else and not CCP's problem if you can't handle the graphics to do multiple clients. They only need to worry about you running one client. If people are playing on older machines then it is time for them to upgrade. This is how it works...you want to keep up and keep playing? Upgrade. I swear...this happens every time CCP does anything to improve the game graphically. The people running machines from the stone age start crying about how they have to spend money on new parts to keep playing.

Vertisce Soritenshi Varion Galactic Tragedy. 1353	Posted - 2012.03.26 19:11:00 - [5] - Quote They did state that it would take 5 man years if I am not mistaken. I also believe that Trinity was something along the lines of 50 man years? So this conversion by comparison wouldn't be much of an undertaking for them. They could throw a couple or more teams at it and have it cranked out in half a year. They did specifically ask us if we wanted this...so far it has been a resounding yes with a few whimpering no's. I can't wait to see it when it is done! EvE is not about PvP.-á EvE is about the SANDBOX! - CCP!-á Open the door!!!
Vertisce Soritenshi Varion Galactic Tragedy. 1355	Posted - 2012.03.26 20:40:00 - [6] - Quote I don't remember exactly what they said but they did state that a majority of people playing EvE actually run a GTX560 or equivalant. I think the number of players that are behind in tech are the minority and those that wouldn't be able to play the game at all if an upgrade occured is very small.

Vertisce Soritenshi Varion Galactic Tragedy. 1507	Posted - 2012.04.13 13:00:00 - [7] - Quote I agree...if the UI had a more 3D popup and overlay feel it would be a hell of a lot cooler. It would be nice to have multiple overlays that I can drop and bring back up with the click of a button too. Put what windows I want on each overlay and just bring up the whole overlay with all the windows and drop them when not needed. Chats on one overlay, scanning tools on another, targeting and tactical on another and so on. EvE is not about PvP.-á EvE is about the SANDBOX! - CCP!-á Open the door!!!
Vertisce Soritenshi Varion Galactic Tragedy. 1507	Posted - 2012.04.13 13:59:00 - [8] - Quote I think one of the cooler things I saw from Fanfest was that they want to represent battles on the planets when they happen. The more details like that the better. Immersion is key. EvE is not about PvP.-á EvE is about the SANDBOX! - CCP!-á Open the door!!!

I went looking for the new games with the nice new graphics. And by the way...you do have an opt-out. It's called biomassing. You don't even have to log into the pretty-fi game to do it either.

I'm sorry you think graphics cards that require as much energy as some large household appliances is justified in the name of "progress". I am willing to bet that whatever graphics card you have right now uses more power than the current gen cards do. This makes your argument invalid. Try again.

Lucky you! Lets not go overboard here. CCP has said that the opt-out for the graphics would be like what they did when Trinity 2.0 came out. These people will have a few years to update their systems to accommodate the new graphics. I for one look forward to seeing pretty spaceships. Not going overboard...just stating a fact. But yes I am aware that they would phase out the old graphics just like they did with Trinity. Problem is...when it comes time to phase out the old graphics we will be having the same argument with the same people who still havn't upgraded and expect us all to cater to them and never improve the graphics.

That's not what I'm saying, what I'm saying is it would be nice if developers could do more with the resources at hand instead of asking people to shell out the price of a video game console for a tiny lil graphics card. The problem is, all the cool stuff they want to do like Tesselation, that improves not only graphical quality but enables them to improve several aspects of gameplay, do require said upgrades.

Be that as it may XP is still one of the most stable Windows operating systems around and many companies still use it Ummm...no. If they are still using XP it is because they are too cheap to upgrade to Windows 7 not because it is "more stable". Which it isn't by the way.

Vertisce Soritenshi Varion Galactic Tragedy. 1551	Posted - 2012.04.24 18:55:00 - [14] - Quote Since the majority of players clearly want this graphics upgrade, I am curious to know if CCP has looked at a timeframe for making it happen and how they might plan to fit it into the schedule?
