I personally don't care about the option to not load the environment, I'm absolutely thrilled about Incarna and I have open arms to catch it when it lands.
What kind of, well, is total garbage... people have been screaming for this to be totally optional and not forced on the people who don't care about walking-in-stations at all since it was even discussed. Why, why, why, why, why did it take a situation where multiple clients couldn't handle it on low-end clients before it being optional was considered?
These people aren't necessarily worried about performance. They're perfectly happy with the ship view hanger and are more concerned about what goes on outside of it.
So, just because developers arbitrarily decide that because it won't impact performance based on controlled observation that it's okay to force it on people adamantly against it? This isn't a nerf, this in no way balances the game in a way to stop some people from abusing mechanics while others suffer. This is an option that can be completely optional without interfering with anything, but it took this?
Many players adamantly begging for the feature that is perfectly safe to turn off to be able to turn it off wasn't enough. No, it was because a very slim amount of players who both run multiple accounts on poor hardware and won't even account for 1% of the playerbase, even after considering their total accounts, who might have performance issues.
I'm the apologist. I'm the one who takes CCP's side in things. I'm the one who defends the developers and sympathize with system administrators and moderators. This is something that upsets me. I am upset. I was happy and fine until I noticed this and now I'm upset and I want to complain. I'm suddenly that person making a big deal that you put the pickles on my cheeseburger even though I kind of sort of mumbled I wanted it without pickles and I'm not going to be happy with just a replacement.
I'm that jackoff who wants the cake and to eat it too because that's how frustrated I am that someone, somewhere decided that it is more important to make a feature harmlessly optional for a minority when there has already been perfectly legitimate concerns and complaints by people already invested in the game.
I mean, I like pickles, but just this time I didn't want them. I know it's rude to cut in line and throw the sandwich at the cashier and ruin the uniform they had to be pay for out of pocket. I know I probably shouldn't have screamed and knocked the register over and go in back to find every pickle in the restaurant and pour them on the manager. Wouldn't anyone else do that?
I might have gone a little too far when after all that I still got a refund and another cheeseburger that I went back up to the counter and said "Well, actually, I think I'll take those pickles after all", but can't we all just have our day? ------------------------------- The fox chases for her meal, but the rabbit runs for her life. |
