Only good thing here is the stress test and continuing the war on botting. The rest is trash. ---

All CCP is doing is providing art, the actual work is not being done by CCP ---

> [@Xuxe\_Xu](#): > > You mean Hilmar…ceo of ccp? 🙄 Nope. Re-read it. Hilmar’s not claiming CCP’s doing anything. He’s said _he_, personally, was talking with people, but not on CCP’s behalf. Everything else there is stuff Hadean’s doing, and Hilmar’s asking _us_ to help with. That’s not CCP doing anything at all. We can’t even say CCP providing the art assets is ‘doing’ anything, because for all we know, Hadean’s actually licensing that stuff for the occassion for $500,000. ---

The geek in me looks forward to this. The industry realist in me see’s this as a dead end. If my understanding is right, this looks essentially like a real-time scalable compute solution. Cost saving through released resources when the IOPs are low and realtime matching of compute for performance when the IOPs are high. However there’s a big difference between a tech demo, where most of the risk sits with the developer, and trying to turn that into a commodity where customers have to take on more risk. Compared to the established solutions to scale compute, I wish this project all the best, but don’t think it will succeed (would like to be wrong). ---

> [@Vol\_Arm\_OOO](#): > > but it would sure be wonderful if there was a dev blog on how they going to make small fights relevant again. Small fights are down to you to go find them, don’t expect CCP to do everything for you, get off your arse. In fact all fights are down to the players, not for CCP to somehow provide them. ---

Cool, I’d love to see 8k textures and all that. But why not just use a well established game engine such as Unreal Engine 4? I’m pretty sure it’s capable to build just about any game environment 👍🏻 ---

> [@Osaka\_Takawaki](#): > > I’m pretty sure it’s capable to build just about any game environment lol there are threads on the unreal engine forum where they talk about the struggle it took Epic Games, the people who make the engine to get 100 people into the same game, and how 250 would be near impossible. Unreal Engine is a great engine, but not for EVE ---

They’re not talking about a game engine. It’s an OS to address server-side issues with parallelization. ---

Never going to be an EVE 2.0, maybe a massive update to EVE that might as well be a 2.0 but they would never wipe the universe, it would kill the game outright. ---

I presonally want more microtransactions. Since PLEX can be bought with ISK. I want to be able to buy more customizations. Skins. Robotic Limbs. And whatnot. I want pets. And station walking. Also rentable costumizable space buildings that i can transform into a pub or brothel or anything i want to. Also farming would be great. Like pace corn and stuff but in a big green house on a station with walkable fields and hover tractors. I want all thisand more. PS: Who cares about big battles anyway.
