CCP has yet to actually commit to the real values behind X or Y or Z, which they have yet to let anyone know about.
The Vehicles will be better is you believe that only X is required.
The Vehicles are a horror show waiting to happen and destroy the game if Y is believed.
The Vehicles will be limited to the few roles that CCP/Shanghai believe that they should be used for.
And! We should get excited because all these wonderful things will happen some ... undefined time unit variable.
Although we will never get our SP back, not even to move from Amarr Heavy to Minmatar Heavy. Vehicle respec. Well, that is on the table. Probably the table down in the morgue, but it is a table. And they will not tell us until after they release the Great Vehicle Balancing Act of 2013 ... or 2014. Whatever.
Cause HTFU people, CCP does not care. Decisions have consequences. Their decisions, our consequences.
Because it's so much easier to just yell "CCP DOESN'T CARE ABOUT US" and sob on the forums about it than it is to consider the fact that we're talking about a group of people not that different from us who apparently got in over their heads and are obviously working pretty hard to straighten things out.
Everyone also needs to keep in mind that whatever is offered by this community is suggestions, not "the way things should be done". Your perceptions of how other games perfected such-and-such system are coming from the consumer end of the line, not from the far more complicated processes that run underneath to achieve what those other developers achieved.
If game design were easy, you wouldn't get payed very much to do it, and Epic Games wouldn't be making billions off of licensing the Unreal Engine.
The had eyes bigger than their stomachs, they spent some time on the wrong track, but now they're trying to get back in gear and fix the game.
Let's at least take a look at the FINAL and NON-WORK IN PROGRESS values for 1.7 before we flip out. I'm willing to bet that everything that has been said so far about the changes is being taken into account, and that the values of changed a bit since they were posted here. |
