He's an EVE nerd that actually pays in-game money to be part of EVE Goons renter program (eg. pays to PVE in a specific area of the map that Goons have influence over).

EvE Online is a terrible, terrible spaceship game.

There is more of a pulse in a Croberts JPEG than anything CCP will poo poo out in the next decade.

EVE can be fun, but it is constantly filled with hours of "waiting around" for that fun to either spontaneously occur or organize, neither of which are fun.

After spending half a year in Null Sec, mostly touching myself to poo poo happening on another screen - I can confirm your assessment of the game.

Another thing, Drake fleets are loving stupid and that doctrine should have died on arrival.

I help one of the new player alliances and it's been the most fun I've had in a while, probably because its cheap poo poo and just "gently caress it, let's welp and kill poo poo." That said the organization of stuff is a pain in the dick and is more time consuming than, you know, playing the game.

And yes, drake fleets are aids, but bomber runs wiping them out are amazing :allears:

In other news, CCP sold White Wolf to Paradox in what can only be called a 'fire sale' in which CCP has handed over all the assets for their WoD 'MMO' which was cancelled in April 2014 after _9_ years of development. Eve players will remember the $79 monocle that created the Burn Jita movement and prompted a bunch of us to drop the game when Hilmar famously compared ingame jpegs with designer jeans.

This is an interesting roundup of the problems that CCP faced: http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/jun/05/world-of-darkness-the-inside-story-mmo-ccp-white-wolf


Sounds familiar.

Yeah the WoD poo poo was super disappointing and made CCP look comically bad. The beauty of that article is, it's no different than the Escapist one about SC but people didn't complain about anonymous sources then. I have a friend who played it in alpha and they said it was a bog standard WoW clone sadly :smith:

I always figured CCP could've just licensed the IP out to other devs but outright selling it works well since they basically never used the IP for the better part of a decade since their MMO was constantly being hosed with internally.

If they make another Vampire The Masquerade RPG that'd be really neat.

Not necessarily a bad thing. FFXIV manages to be a pretty neat WoWlike, but then again :smith::ccp:

This was not one of those cases where the imitation was good.

Like I said, it's not really shocking since CCP spent the better part of a decade on the game and have zilch to show for it. Better to sell the IP to someone willing to buy it and use it than hold onto it and let it rot away in a closet in Atlanta.

Wonder what sort of games Paradox will make/publish with the IP.

Edit - CCP also have their Livestream show today, so I wonder if they'll talk about it and possibly what it means for the other stuff they're working on (eg. Valkyrie, EVE, DUST 514 being ported to PC).

Yeah-- Frontier has pretty much done the exact opposite of CIG at nearly every step. The game isn't perfect but it's getting better at such an impressive (and quiet) pace. Meanwhile CIG can't shut up about what is coming yet delivers mediocrity in small portions so very, very slowly.

One day, I hope RedLetterMedia will give us the After Action report on this gigantic mess. Because dammit, the very best thing that came out of the prequels was his 8 hour takedown of them.

And Chris Roberts could one day star in a scene very much like this one

I'm watching the CCP Livestream and they've been talking about all sorts of stuff related to the game design changes, in-game events, and backend stuff on top of player gatherings.

Frontier's streams are always similar in that they have poo poo to talk about where as CIG just find new ways to talk about "it's being worked on but no idea when it'll be released" for two years straight.

I don't think RLM will do the video, but Jack & Ritch do Previously Recorded so they'll probably do something on it.

No, there's a Bob Ross marathon on https://www.twitch.tv/BobRoss (officially endorsed by Bob Ross' company) and CIG are just hosting it via the Channel Hosting feature on Twitch.

It's so that if you go to CIG's Twitch channel, it'll just play whatever is on Bob Ross' channel.

I'd like to address you and your kind real quick. Don't worry, I'll make it brief:

Why? Why bother with all of the hours spent putting people down and trying to "burn all teh jpegs"? You could spend your time going outside, having fun playing games, or visiting your family. Instead, you choose to go out of your way to intentionally try and hurt people and their visions. Why?

If Star Citizen was going to fail (which it's not), why don't you just leave us "White Knights" (A community of One-Million people, I might add), alone and let us see for ourselves? Why do you care?

By the way, the man you undoubtedly worship doxxes teenagers in wheelchairs and children. Just fyi.

I think so. I remember Goonrathi Goons getting Cowcasters avatar changed and someone mentioning in the SC thread at the time it was idiotic because she could just get it changed for free.

Kimsemus posted:

Dr. Smart hasn't doxxed anyone. All the information he's gathered has been publicly posted by the people in question. Also does being a in a wheelchair grant you special powers or immunity in your politically correct world?

I'll let him answer the rest of your post though, but I always enjoy reading the strawman logic of "why don't you go outside instead of being inside making fun of us!"

You should have kept reading before responding.
