EVE General Discussion

I think we all wish we had more clothing and hair color options. Many have suggested they would siebd aurum on such vanity items and not be upset by such micro-transactions. We can only hope.

Where's the Gallentean transparent suit CCP?

that's a scary idea.....

Everyone wants good-looking ships, so why wouldn't we want good-looking apparel? CCP makes it clear that this is a role-playing game - greater personal customization assists in interpreting those roles.

More customization options would indeed be welcome. CCP did a fantastic job when they changed characters' appearances - when was that? 2006 or so? It's been a while, so updates and adjustments to character appearance should be a consideration.

Does CCP even look at these forums?

I know it says EVE up there but are we falling on deth ears?

We are back to the problem of Incarna and Walk in Station. 2011 it was yes.

They have spent a lot of time and ressources to devellop at the same time the Incarna project, dust 514 and another game.
It's has been a huge fail for CCP because :
- In order to focus on these new projects, they have totally abandonned the spaceship game EVE.
- With Incarna they have introduced the shop where you could buy a few clothes/accessories for your character, but the prices were shockingly high (monocles anyone ?).
- By a despiting, arrogant and clumsy lack of comminucation with the players, they are responsible for the largest riot ever seen in an online game because they were so reluctant to give to the players their word that the online shop would never be used to sell anything which could give an ingame advantage (pay to win).
- While they were making us dreaming of great adventures and social interactions for our characters, all what we got was ONE standard room from which we could not escape and in which we were doomed to walk alone aimlessly. This has not changed two years later.
- Dust has not been released for pc while EVE runs on pc... It has instead been release for a console which was already old at this time.
- The other game, which had no link with EVE, has been abandonned.
- A lot of players (we will never know the true numbers sadly) have stopped their subscription (me included) to protest against that fail and the way CCP handled the players' concerns during this crisis (greed is good).

So yes, now we have on the arms an atrophied Incarna with few clothes and a pointless 3d body in a pointless 3d room.
Both sides of the players are unhappy with it : The ones who wanted to play with their character out of ship are disappointed (the word is weak) because there is nothing at all, and the ones who wanted that CCP does care more for the EVE the spaceship game have been ignored for long.
For my part i feel like i'm part of both sides, and am doubly sad when i come to think of it.

You just answered your own question. Every faction SHOULD be unique, since they redid the avatars theres very little race variation a sit is, atleast through clothing the factions look a little different, dont take thatb away aswel.

If you want to wear Gallentian cloths make a Galential character, you have 2 other slots on your account.

Now what you are saying is stupid, beacuse each race is unique.

This is just clothing; I refuse to beleive every human/capsuleer in new Eden is a steadfast patriot/racist that refuses to wear the clothing of "others"

Brutor will still look like Brutor even if he is wearing the sleeveless vest that Gallente has.

Do you honestly beleive that if we suddenly got all clothing options avalible to us that people would just dress completly randomly and cross speises?

Ofcourse some would, but others would just find a fit they really liked. Or some would stay with the clothing their race has.

--

And don't you go tell me that I should just make another character! that is stupid and you know it.

When you play the game for a long time you don't want to just start over from nothing just so you can have a new jacket.

The game should not punish me just beacuse I want a Caldari jacket. I really like my Gallente character, Caldari can't get dreadlocks, and I think that is fine. I can understand if Caldari citizens don't allow such Deviant hairstyles in their ranks
Or Amarr being pale and monk like.

But For clothing to never leave the bodies of their owners and end up in the hands of others? That is unlikely. We already fly space ships cross speices, I'm Gallente, and I fly Minmatar ships all the time.

Why in the world can't I wear their clothing too? The ship is our avatar ingame anyways, and we don't have any rules for what race pilots what ship. So why is clothing now a big deal?

Well, apparently CCP's top brass thinks that other things are more relevant than avatars. Suggestions on how to make them shift their mind are welcome...

That's the exact system we have now. Or haven't you noticed the new market category that popped up in the last year or two--"Apparel"?

"But they were bought from the NeX store with Aurum!"

So were Plexes. Don't see you complaining about that.

And actually, Plexes break the ten-year game balance--one character gets SP/account.

While chainging your outfit lets you hide in local if people aren't lookign at names.



ooooh.....scary.
