If bars are made they will include aspects that interact with the rest of the Eve universe. They have talked about having easy ways to buy and sell boosters in shady bays, a military style chess like game that you take bets on (and the bar can take a taxable % of the winnings), corp advertising on screens and more.

Now the specifics aren't there because these are just ideas CCP have been throwing around, but they and the the vast majority of the community agree that without content they shouldn't be created. Very very few of us are (or should be) arguing for empty content-less bars.



let them its the only thing left to say ,if you are against WIS.

A lot of reasons for WIS are given by a lot of people in the form of giving ideas and discuss about it.
The only reason not to have WIS is the emoting thing ,so pls let them feel like they have a something meaningful to add to the WIS discussion.

These are all things that can be done without avatars, more efficiently without even.
I want meaningful things, meaningful as in I can recluse myself into a whole stand-alone ecosystem, while connected to the overall game universe, you know like worm holes. TBH IDGAF about some little minigame and oh hey I can now do what I already do but with moar avatars.
And forget about the boosters, it's called, haul your boosters to any low or null station, and click the market button.


That's not really an argument. Many aspects of FiS can be done without spaceships, but you don't hear me saying the reverse is an argument. The rest of your argument really just boils down to "I don't want", which is fine. Your opinion is a perfectly valid one, except we've already heard it more times than is strictly necessary. If however, you are outvoted, then CCP shouldn't be listening to the minority on the subject.

All said and done, I do hope CCP work on the Avatar exploration first and foremost, because frankly there are much fewer people who will complain about it.

FIS gameplay that don't require spaceships? Like station trading & industry?
A good station trader would be using screen space for price windows and if they put out a trade oriented expansion, advanced charting for volume and price etc. Definitely not oh I am going to walk around in my female avatar looking at her cute butte.
Can bittervets please just unsub and play WOT? Also I don't see WOT duders whining but but but I am more than a tank! I want to emote other dudes in this commandeered chateau and /gf gf

You do undersand that walking around your CQ is "emoting" right?

I personally find RPing odd. I tried to do a LARP, once, for 15 minutes; it creeped me out.

But I undrstand those are important tools in an RPG.

Just because you don't like it doesn't make it bad, meaningless, uniteresting, or something that wont be used or appreciated. It just means you won't do it. But YOU are not the end all here, you are actually minority in this discussion.


Why not be civil and respectful about it?
Because your "emoting" repsonces don't come across that way, quite the opposite in fact.

We get it! You're too cool for that sort of stuff; that's fine, I think I am too, but there's no need to be a **** about it.

Never talked about mini games .
Besides that, the FIS part of this game has his own minigame nowadays ,it is called shooting at a planet .

You need to decide man, I can't even tell if you are a closet rp-er or something, you keep on saying how important rp tools are but at every opportunity you are like I don't do rp.
I don't want rp in eve, the cannons are not defined enough. You just can't compete with companies continuing the same stories since the 80s, if they didn't kill that Warhammer40k mmo I would be first to be rp-ing and saluting my NPC primarch.

I don't own a gun or have the desire to own one, but understand that it's important for peopel to own them.

I don't drive anymore, or own a car, and I won't drive for my safety or others but I undrstand others like to.

I hate brussel sprouts, but my dad loves them; so I understand that other people like things I don't.


YOU not seeing the value in something you won't personally do is a failure on your part. If you don't understand that, then that's yet another failure on your part.

Just because I don't RP, or have any interest in it doesn't mean that I can't see the value of such tools; I'm not that narrowminded or selfish.

I don't do PvP, I've NEVER shot another player in EVE, never. I suppor the hell out of blowing up other peoples **** though.

The only thing you've done in this entire thread is try to put people down who support something you don't. You're not helping your case by being beliigent to other people.

No one, including CCP, is reading your responces and coming away with the impression that you have a point. You're just being a **** to people. You don't endear anyone to your possition when you treat people with a difference of opinion like an *******.

Or is because you know it gets frustrating, so if you keep doing it maybe people that disagee with you will just shut up?
I promise you, I won't; so why keep doing it?


WiS will not hurt your gameplay. Social enviroments will not hurt your gameplay.
It will bring more people to EVE, and that WILL improve your gameplay. Why are you so deadset against that, just because you don't want to do it.

You're doing the same thing I saw people do repeatedly whenever someone suggest to Trion to add housing to Rift. Trion didn't listen to those people, why would CCP listen to you?

Yes. And you can do FiS without ship models or textures. You could replace any ship with untextured floatting cubes of different size and would work exactly the same, more efficiently.
So why are all those stuff needed? Cause - integrated with the game mechanics - these elements make the universe credible, they give to the players the immersive feeling, the illusion to be just there, that is a must for this kind of games (and these are just the basics, is embarassing having to discuss this).

EvE already build this immersive feeling for anything related to FiS, and dis great at this. What is missed to complete the system is just the part related to the capsuleer and to WiS. And no, the visual gameplay experience is not enough alone.
The current CQ are **** because they're a cool visual experience and nothing more: they are not integrated with the game mechanics; they're integrated only with a silly item mall that has nothing to do with EvE.

So, yes, you're perfectly right when you say:

That's just what is missed and needed for WiS. And what players are asking here.

That sounds like paranioa though.

It doesn't HAVE to be manditory. No one should be required to exit their ship. Locking us out of ship spinning when incarna released was stupid.

That should always be an option.
I'm not forced to undock, you shouldn't be forced to exit your pod.


There's nothing wrong with taking the stance that social enviroments shouldn't be required to be utilized if you don't want to use them.

I would never do the station exploration stuff, doesn't mean I don't want them to do it, but I would definately have an issue if they told me I HAD TO.

What is wrong with putting the 5 or 6 guys, or however many it was, in Team Avatar on developming WiS beyond CQ now as aposed to year or two from now. Or letting those half dozen guys develop small feature that will eventually grow into station exploration.

A few guys working on WiS isn't going to be a detriment to the rest of the game. It'll only mean we'll see something sooner than later.

Except that if you assume that CCP has any development budget "x" and that development on WIS has a cost of "y" then you can assume very confidently that WIS development would have a negative impact on the rest of the game's development by precisely "y."

Because the difference between what they could spend on FiS dev and what they then have left to do so is exactly "y."

You mean the guy who stepped down over a year ago, citing "quite a few harsh lessons?" Yeah, I imagine he's going to be a real problem.

The senior producer is now CCP Unifex. Maybe you've heard of him? Maybe you've paid attention to anything he's said in the last year, or looked at the emphasis of the releases that CCP has done under his tenure? If not, you have some catching up to do.

Some value "z - pd" where "z" is the development cost and "pd" are returns on investment in the form of income.

EDIT AGAIN:

A negative value for "z - pd" indicates no cost, but rather profit and more dev time for Dust and Eve.

I am not a fan of the console crap ,but i do hope there will be some form of income out of these nonsense called Dust
I could go in every Dust thread ,responding over and over again with the same sentence ,but i wish every player who enjoys shooting at planets the best with it

And you forgot the fact that WIS could bring in more players and therefore get some more income.
But i guess that you so anti WIS that you can,t see the possibility

Maths stuff.


All that math is equally applicable to any development time spent on any area of the game. Ultimately what it comes down to is whether people want what the dev time is being spent on, and how much they want it. That's pretty much it. It's basically a question of popular of demand, and it has been obvious for quite some time that people really do want WiS.
