i hear ccp logic loop has been active recently

I sure as hell hope not.

I'm pretty sure Rattati would have exploded in a torrent of rage that would consume shanghai were his team to get uprooted to go fix eve.

Just a hunch, mind you, but plausible.

Ya but this is CCP Shanghai. They're a tiny studio, unlikely to have the manpower for that sort of thing.

Dust would have been an adequate replacement, ported to PS4 or even PC. What they're proposing with NOVA is just not good enough.

I guess that depends on what you define as "meaningful". From what I've heard, they're not planning to reintroduce vehicles, for a start which I think was a meaningful part of the Dust experience. I didn't go for vehicles myself, but I find the concept of any form of combat meaningless without vehicles.

I also find the EvE link meaningful, where many apparently don't. Without it, it's just another FPS to me. If anything they should have made the EvE link MORE rather than less. In short, I think what they had planned from the start for Dust would have been good, but as usual CCP got diverted from its plan by listening too much to the community, as far as I can see most of whom weren't that enamoured with EvE. And from the EvE side of it, they didn't want Dust either....

In any case, my concern is not what is PROPOSED for Nova. As far as I'm concerned it's likely never to see the light of day. Why would you believe that CCP would ever produce it? They are abysmal at doing what they say they will. Just a demo to show they can put a FPS on a spaceship doesn't mean they'll ever actually do it for real.

So I suppose to answer your question correctly and truthfully, "What is your perception of what is proposed in Nova?" - it's just candy to keep those few of us still here interested while slowly we die off and get distracted by other things, rather than have us all blow up at the end of Dust which would be bad for PR. I don't honestly think they'll ever produce Nova. They're not interested in the few of us who survive other than how badly we can effect PR for the company.

Nova doesn't use VR. Therefore it doesn't fit with CCP's current obsession. That's about the size of it for me.

Edit:

By the way, I don't look at what people say, but what they do, so what they SAY they're gonna do means little to me.
