EVE General Discussion

How in the actual hell do you think vanity items are pay-to-win?
This robot arm hasn't improved my ship's stats. My eyepatch hasn't improved the tracking of my turrets. My golden pod hasn't made me unpoddable.

I don't think any of you guys that talk about the NeX Store being P2W actually know what P2W is.
But I'll give you a hint. There is no such thing as P2W in EVE. It can't exist in a game that is so actual player skill-intensive. Your ingame stats and the ship you are flying have so little to do with how well you perform. YOU, the player, have to know how to fit that ship, and how, exactly, to pilot it. SP is only about 5% of the equation.

Walking in Stations died because CCP are **** games developers. After however many years of hoping it's become clear that CCP are completely incapable of delivering any good games. As it turns out, Eve Online was a complete fluke.

I have never understood the point of 'ambulation' as it was then called.

Walking around just for the sake of it, why?

WIS would be new content, and we all know ccp don't do new content anymore, just some number changes is an expansion now

The drug smuggling element that EvE has but is currently completely broken was supposed to be WiS gameplay. That's what they were saying before the summer of whiners ran the project into the ground.

No it is not dead, do some reasearch before you post.

If no one will ever see me walking around in my quarters, then why can't I do so in my undies? just saying.

they said it at fanfest last year that they aren't working on wis.. so...

And yet every so often, a new WiS/CARBON based object comes into play - its not been abandoned, neither is it a very high priority. It will someday happen, and I hope it does.

As much as I like Internet Spaceships (it being a Serious Business after all), just having the option of going out into a station, visiting the local bar, picking up a mission from the bar tender (for example) rather than through the mission window, and generally integrating my character further into EVE universe I find it genuinely surprising that people, even after nearly 3 years, are still so set against something that will expand the game in so many different directions - who wouldn't want to watch a Null-G boxing match with friends on a Caldari Station with ships floating past the windows or even getting a spy onto an enemy outpost and sabotaging their manufacturing arrays or even help bring the shields down faster (which could possiblly introduce Station Combat down the line...)

But alas, most people are too interested in getting the pod kills and/or sitting in a station spinning their ships bemoaning that CCP are poor developers (which is an unfair statement - no developer is perfect) whilst ignoring the joys of the system that they could be having.

Amazing to see how a simple post can get so heated. Yay forums!


I think it's obvious that there are some player that would welcome the idea, and some players that would kick it right in the b*lls..
So why not have the option to use it if you want or not? Kinda like we have the options to enter captains quarters or not?


Or even the separate client idea? (I know nothing about the server mechanics, please don't shun me)


Many Veteran Eve players would prefer to keep the game as a simple Internet Spaceships game, but should that prevent other players who might like to try other gameplay from joining the Eve Universe? It may open up the playerbase and provide more income to CCP?

Either or, if it come's ill be happy.. if it doesn't I won't care. Like I said.. WOD canned just sparked a thought.
