Admittedly I have been semi-out of EVE of late. Still, I was looking forward to their game update this year having thought it would be Ambulation. Instead, looking at the patch notes (sorry no link…blocked from work) the update looks like programming improvements.
While nice and all I though those improvements were already out there. The Devs were crowing about how much more stable and responsive Jita is now. Beyond that I never engage in fleet battles so it never affects me anyway (and frankly I almost never had trouble with Jita…slow and dodgy sure but I got on fine there).
About the only thing I see I like is the Orca. I am more than trained for that all the way down to the Slot-10 Mining Implant (so if people want to mine in new found leisure with one of these things on hand let me know!).
Call me underwhelmed but I will be happy to be wrong about this.
I don’t play EVE Online myself, but I tend to hear about it from time to time and I thought they were going through with the Walking In Stations this time?
I may be completely wrong though.
ETA: Sorry, that’s only in Alpha at the moment, but might explain the lack of "omph* of this years?
We have been drooling about the orca in corp … there are a few of us that are hard core miners … /me hids her 10 slot implant behind her hair
Actually, what I would love is to have EVE and one of the VR headgear …I think it would be neat to have eve set up on several monitors so it would put the space scenes on a panorama cockpit style, and the UI and little HUD symbols would be on the VR gear. COmbined with something like a poetic tech custome computer cockpit, it would be way spiffy.
This is the first patch since I started playing (started day after Empyrean Age) and I am extremely underwhelmed. To my understanding, they are launching modular customizable ship components in the next patch this March, so I assume that they’ve spent most of their time on that instead.
The in-game plot fails to interest me as well. We finally wind down the war between the caldari and gallente, and now it looks like the amaar and gallente are going to war. Is that the best the writers could come up with? Seriously, implement the Jove empire yet, give us all a nice genetically-engineered army to resist against or something.
