Bad idea. You can get a 21 day trial for free.

Didn't know that. Does Incursion add anything of value? I gave up after trial and a month after the spreadsheety-ness got to me.
Nothing that would change your mind if you didn't like it before.Tycn said:
I think the big feature is the new char creation, which I guess is a test run for the vampire mmo. Looks good but kinda generic; I liked the unique style of the old portraits.
Oh and they are casualifing learning skills. Way to turn this into WOW... online!

Wait, so it's not possible to recreate the old portraits faithfully in this new system? That doesn't sound too good (I'm assuming they put in the 3D head model creation in preparation for the walking-in-stations thing, haven't followed EVE in some time).made said:

They're trying to do, but with the old char creation system dating back from 2003 not everyone will be able to recreate it to 100% accuracy when the new one hits.
Personally, I give a flying fuck.

does the new system still allow for eyes without irides?
It was an (obvious, I thought) ironic jab at the never-ending casual vs hc struggle in mmos, most prominently in WoW.
Naturally, learning skills added little to the game beyond some decision making while planning your training efficiently, but everyone uses a 3rd party tool to manage that anyway. Nevertheless, I'm sure some players will equal that with dumbing down the game.

I ain't playing this game unless they make the god damn UI easier to see. The font is so small on my monitor to be barely visible. Its absurd. I heard that they are adding interface customization with Incursion. Is that true?

Where? All i've seen is an option to change the font size of the left side bar, from minuscule to less minuscule (ho goodie). You can also expand the font, but the difference is once again minimal. I just googled this and found countless threads about this issue, including a couple on the main forums. So its not me. They really need to change this shit because right now its near nigh unplayable.

It's not unplayable for me but I also asked that question - the font is rather retarded for a multitude of reasons and I have no idea why we just can't set our own font to begin with.

Eitherway, is it true that Incursion its going to add UI customization? That might solve the problem. I think the last installment is going to come out on the 18th of January, right?
Lyric Suite said:
I know that they're adding in a new character generator... beyond that I have no idea. The third part of Incursion is said to hit in January. So I guess just wait and see.

Well, since i've already activated the trial i might as well make the best of it. Is there a manual somewhere for this thing? I'd be willing to pine for the boxed version if it comes with a big manual. I love big manuals, haven't had one for years.

Nice. Wish they had it in paper format, but pretty impressive nonetheless. I'll read it over during the weekend.

Heh, reading about this game seems more exiting then actually playing it. The atmosphere is great though, as is the setting. If they adjust the interface i might actually get hooked, at least for a while. I really need the distraction right now.
I just did the 5 day re-activation after a long hiatus and oh boy I think I might pay for another two months.
I love it as a distraction because it doesn't demand all your attention. I can do a few actions, then alt-tab to the Codex, or read a page of a magazine, then go back: very relaxing.
