Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Your actual complaint is that CCP doesn't understand collision detection or programming, because that's the precise reason they gave when asked why all capsuleer avatars were the same height.

I'm sorry it's not satisfactory.

Please sorry i got it wrong.

I mailed Isobella:-


hello Ms. Midnight,

i have to say a very big thank you for bringing the matter of appropriate clothing and footwear up on the forums because this game is sometimes rather silly and we shouldn't have to endure real predjudice here as well as in real life should we? I really appreciate your taking the time to make a wonderfully witty post about the ridiculous lengths some people go to when playing Eve and how they cannot separate real life from their science-fiction internet computer spaceship games.

As a result of your post you have inspired me to write a forum post complaining about the lack of respect shown to corpses in general and asking that basic wooden coffins be provided in the first instance. I will canvas players and CCP to see if we might not amend this state of affairs. Hopefully we might add plastic, biodegradeable and high-quality hardwood and brass coffins at a later date as optional extras, or indeed faction coffins with heavy plating (Amarr), Shields (Caldari), duct-tape (Minmatar) and hull-upgrades (Gallente).

Thank you again for making me laugh! that's freakin hilarious! Comfortable shoes! you fooking card you! Oh man that's priceless.

Thank you so much!

Yours in Eternity,

Sinister Zed (no, i died and came back)

More to follow...

so i mailed again because I wanted to clarify, here's my mail to her:-

Hello again Ms. Midnight,

I really love your sense of humor! since reading your forums posts again i realise you are right.

Its really not fair that CCP have only released some lame clothes in the NOBLE echange store, they really need to pay attention to what people think and you're right - the small range is not appropriate. Especially when you consider the kinds of prejudice we have to put up with. I only have to mention i collect corpses in local and people start getting all stereotypical and accusing me of necrofilia.

I do agree that they need to add more to the NOBLE store clothing range, and as you rightly mention, the fact they are forcing women into conventional sexual stereotypes is surprising. I think, as this is a science-fiction internet computer spaceship game there really has to be some acknowledgement that this is not real-life and they should do something to rectify the poor selection of clothing wihch forces females into conventional roles.

I will be canvassing fellow players and CCP to see if people think we might reasonably add a range of
summer-wear to the store. It would definitely improve in-game realism to include a range of appropriately skimpy Brazlian style whale-tail bikinis and mankini equivalents (for male characters), or one-piece Victorian striped bathing suits with caps for the more modest amongst us.

I was also thinking that CCP should consider further extending the range of clothing for females beyond that however, i would like to see a patent-leather gimp-suit, leather bondage harness, nipple-tassles, thigh-high red leather boots with six-inch heels and cat-masks. Male characters should be allowed these of course, in the spirit of equality. Mind you, we then need to consider the religious (in all fairness, and to improve realism) and a Hijab, Turban, Zucchetto and Papal Mitre might be added? You might, as a female character, be interested in a Hijab instead of the leather bondage waist-coat you have clothed your toon in, to ensure you don't inadvertently follow blindly conventional sexual steroetypes.

As i mentioned in my earlier mail to you, do you think the ideas I had for coffins could be usefully implemented? Since re-reading your post i have thought it might also be nice to introduce, specifically for corpse collectors like myself, a range of shrouds and post-mortem make-up,? Please let me know if you approve of my ideas.

Thank you again for making me laugh. Comfortable shoes! that's priceless.

Thank you so much!

Yours in Eternity,

Sinister Zed

ps if you do heppen to get podded can i has your corpse?

so of course i had to mail to clarify because:-

Oh Ms. Midnight.

I have just received your most recent mail. Am i to assume tha in fact in the origibal forum post you were not actually joking? Or you do want people to ask for a wider vareity of clothing? I am confused now, could you please make clear which it is?

Thanks,

Zed

I really not sure she's serious about all men being dumb-ass?

Sinister zed you are a weird individual

yup i find the lack of player clothing and the lack of height variation deeply disturbing and sexist.

Please fix this soon ccp I want to be 12m tall and have high heels many thanks

Internet spaceships is serious business.

End of story. Good idea, clothes can wait.

Being anorexic is far more serious than being mildly overweight, especially in the short term.

For the record yes I am a programmer , python too even , I would link you my git-hub portfolio but I don't want Google to associate it with this cesspool of nerds.

Oh for Tchulen , once you've been stood on so many times you tend to get angry when people keep doing it and claiming innocence. You should try it but coming from your position of intense privilege doubt that you could even conceive of the problems for those without it in modern society.

I know you can, but I don't. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7225828.stm

As what comes to the topic, I agree with the OP, no matter how bonkers she appears, and no matter how acutely irrelevant a detail like this is in the context of the current non-existent avatar gameplay.

No one cares about your program/code. You're a feminist. Now go make me a sandwich in dem heels.
