Originally by: Mashie Saldana I'm impressed EVE even works on a 5 year old laptop.
Like they said in the previous blog: "One of EVE's unique features (along with being an awesome game on a single server) is that it can run on pretty much any computer built after 1998."

As someone suggested in a previous thread, a small trial client to render a scene inside station or something would be great for people to test compatibility/performance.
Also, i'm glad you guys have delayed the SM3 thing, i'l still be upgrading soon anyway, just now i don't feel anyone twisting my arm. :P

I travel a lot, so the ability to login from a laptop in a hotel to change skills is very useful.
Of course, if an alternative to that necessity were added... say, skill queues or the ability to change skills via cell phone then I wouldn't need to login via laptop.... *not to subtle hint* ;) |

I'm really glad CCP decided to make a poll about SM3, Cudos for taking the user feedback into consideration.
Will be looking forward to checking the Premium Lite version out.
Any chance of a public beta for the test server to check how well it works on our computers before a full launch to Tranq |

Launch it, tell to not update, look to the right where it says "SM" in a little cell. |

Quality move CCP.
It is long overdue that you would invest into cranking up the visuals. For one, can you please start making all of eve solar systems unique looking, changing backdrop color is kind of boring. Making systems unique in color and content would be a verry good move (nebulae, large asteroid fields, spacial distortions, binary stars, other space phenomena), give us some motivation to explore every system in eve universe ;)
Give us a visit. |

Count on it.
Every other client update was available before launch, including the Premium client.

This dev blog do NOT retire the fact that CCP prevent players only 2 months before a major change in the game, asking to pay to be able to play for some.
2 months is not enough.
CCP did an error but don't want recognize it. They just give the impression to listen players, not more, but in final they don't care.
Quote: We had far more feedback than we even hoped for, which has helped us a great deal in reaching our conclusion.
A conclusion ? As your previous conclusion to retire SM 3.0 at end 2009 was realistic...
CCP do the same than politicmen. Say the worse, then give the impression to retreat (but keep some of the annoying measures), then everyone are happy. We forget the 2 months delay and everything. The first posts already confirm that. At least it works well. ___________________

Nice move. Now people know the change is coming at some point, but don't have to panic about it. If they update their machines like you predict, the delay will propably only be an expansion or two.

Thank you CCP. Web2.0 at work. I nearly lost my faith in changing the world via blogs and forums.
btw, any answer to this question: If people just subscribed for a long period and now find out they cannot play after March 10th, will they get any reimbursements? Or do you just dont care? |

I can only repeat my question to CCP, since it was unanswered in the last thread:
Is there any chance or thought to make the new SM2 premium lite client compatible with Swiftshader 2.0 from Transgaming?
This would mean software emulation of SM2 for SM1 computers. Right now the EVE client doesn't allow for non-EVE dlls in the EVE-Folder and i don't want to mess around with it.
A demo can be found here: http://www.transgaming.com/products/swiftshader/

Again, Don't call it "Premium Lite"!
There's either Premium or Lite - not both! When both clients are called Premium, the "Premium" Part of the name becomes meaningless. Who is the guy that comes up with the names for the clients?

I like the plan shader model 2 is well time model 3 would be to soon at least for this year... maybe end of next year will be a better time for it.
Anyway, please release more information about the new expansion I mean blogs and piles of them I know it is still a little while before we see the actuall patch but having blogs now one a week for instance will keep us busy till then |

Wont it be possible to add a "send my hardware spec to ccp" option with one of the following patches? I mean a one time OPTIONAL request to send the hardware info to ccp. This will most likly generate a far better statistic than monitoring a forum thread, especially as there are enough people who do not read the devblogs and forum. (sometimes because of only basic knownledge of the english language) |

Step 2: In the Winter Expansion 2009 we are considering discontinuing support for ShaderModel 2 and make the minimum specification ShaderModel 3(GeForce 6 class cards or ATi x1300 or compatible)
So you would need at least a gf 6 to run on max graphics ?
Would be very low ... thinking more of a XFX GeForce 9800 GTx ,anyway i need to upgrade :(
Atm running on a radeon x1650 can run 6 classic clients at once .. doubt that will work in the futhere ... :( |

Great news indeed.
Obviously the people at CCP have not lost their mind ( yet :p )
This will allow to keep the balance between good content, nice graphics and low hardware requirements.
Next we need that barebone client with the following : - A still image of the station you are in and the ship you are flying on the background. - The complete interface as you have on the normal client. - Only allow logon on this client when previously docked in a station. - You can not exit the station with this client.
And to push people a bit more towards SM 3.0 : Only allow SM 3.0 users to Walk in Stations

Imagine that: "Hello? Anyone here?" - "Yes, but we don't have Shader Model 4.0 so we can't walk around - the newest graphics cards didn't ship yet. How comes you have one?"
I vote for the "send my specs to CCP" button (after login on the ESC Menu to prevent spamming CCP with the results). Steam did something similar, and there were lots of people participating in that...
How many people are there with only a Laptop? Haven't those people heard that Laptops are polluting the environment because they're not upgradable? You have to buy the whole stuff again when you want something better... Besides: A premium capable PC costs around 200 $ (GeForce 8300 onboard, Athlon X2 CPU, 1 GiB RAM, 80GB/74GiB HDD), you just have to add a monitor... A Laptop with those things costs about five times that much - the only difference is that you can carry it around. Very useful advantage while playing EVE... |

Good Move, CCP.
Personally, I thought it a bit ambitious to move to SM3 so quickly (and yes 12 months is moving quickly for the general population), but I believe realigning the client to SM2 will have a considerable boost to your internal development resources... so I think it's a win-win for CCP and for the consumer.
Now, when will all the new great features be listed for the new client

Good move, CCP. Getting rid of Shader 1 is about time but Shader 2 is still required for many people, especially laptop users. If you postpone scrapping Shader 2 for at least another year or two, then that will give people plenty of time to upgrade. |

I dont like your idea ...
First : the classic graphic are more beautiful than new ... You have really watch the new texture ? Less color, less light, all are less beautiful than classic. Check a little the amarr ship/station/... from classic to premium.
Second : EvE not need high graphic ! You need only overview for play and if you don't want a lot of lag zoom OUT ... Don't take more ressources for NOTHING !
For me, remove premium graphic and let only classic ! |
