Originally by: Kal Aith God I just hope CCP realizes that you whiners are mostly a bunch of ****ing children. Please move forward with Incarna. We've waited 8 years for this, some of us can think ahead (and spell correctly).
I am really loving the new immersion and look forward to what else it brings.
That's the thinking that has managed to drive this game into the ****ing ground.
It's just time that, especially when no expected to pay above and beyond our subscriptions, CCP needs to learn that 'Good enough' is not good enough by a long shot.
The fact is that things are tested on SiSi by the players in our own time. We file bug reports by the tonne, we respond to feedback and in turn feed ideas to the dev team (some of which are admirably taken onboard! The 'Little Things' updates prove this!), and we pay(/paid) for this game for a VERY long time in some cases.
Though for all the good these little fixes are, they're just painting over the cracks. Nothing major seems to be fixed or finished, in favour of pushing new, half-baked content that 'sells' in the short term, to meet concrete deadlines that clearly don't work.
Beyond any patch or content, it's the newly revealed attitude that cuts deepest, I think. The betrayal a lot of people feel for CCP so plainly alienating their loyal long-term fanbase in favour of the trendy new crowd with their parents' credit cards.
I for one don't mind the iterative release idea. I don't mind the idea of stupid space barbie customization (So long as there's an option to not use it and retain functionality), and I don't mind the idea of idiots with too much money throwing it into eyewear that could do with a mortgage.
The fact that Incarna was released so unoptimized, unfinished, some would say DANGEROUS (If CCP themselves are looking for information on overheating, there must be some credit to it), along with the accompanying 'features' it brought, leaves a very sour taste in a lot of these peoples' mouths.
I would say that for a lot of people, the leaked newsletter was the straw that broke the camel's back. But looking at the last couple of weeks, I'd say it's more like an entire extra bale.
