EVE General Discussion

Jita levels of spam in a bar.

Something to look forward to...

That's not really the same. People want their character to be able to wander around mroe than a prison cell when they are docked up. Sure, they could just go play something else, but then that's not growing EVE if they do, is it? CCP wants to retain players not give them more reasons to play something else.

And no, there's no "need" for it, but it's something a lot of people would like. EVE is designed to be a virtual world, and there's no reason can't be expanded into other areas to give that further depth.

Sets my teeth on edge every time someone talks of 'growing' EVE. The best part of EVE is that it's not full of the sae kinds of people that infect other games. EVE is the nice little upscale boutique in a world full of Wal-marts.



That's /thread right there lol. The WiS crowd in EVE is exactly like the "Infantry crowd" in Tanks, rather than play the plethora of combined arms games out there now, they won't be happy till TANKS bends the knee to their wishes too.

(It's not unlike females who have plenty of choices of stable non-abusive mates yet consistently choose the abusive D-bags who are the opposite of what they say they want so that they can 'fix them' and have a trophy to show lord over their frenemies )

Depth is only important to "immersion" seeking role players. Despite the lore stuff, EVE is one of the more anti-RPG mmos ever (I know a guy who I play Star Trek Online with who left EVE just for that reason, in STO he can 'hail' someone else and have a nice role-play experience with a trekkie, in EVe all he ever got was shot at and laughed at. Mission accomplished/working as intended). While reading post in the OOPE section I came across this post:

I couldn't help but think "good, there are plenty of games for role players, not many for anti-immersion people like me" (I don't pretend to be a goo-incased star ship captain, space ships are just the chess pieces on the board for folks like me). RPG fans should play RPG friendly games of which there are already many with one more (Star Citizen) coming soon and let us have at least this ONE 'pragmatic experience' game.

I still want WiS. Check the 'A Future Vision' trailer for why.

EVE isn't purely about the spaceships. If it was people would rather keep on playing Homeworld, or just play X/Elite/Star citizen (whenever that last one comes). EVE is about cuttthroats, backstabbing, but also making a name for yourself, good or bad. There's no reason why avatar-based gameplay can't be a part of the same core game.



The implementation is exactly the same, it's just Dust on PC, nothing more.

Do mind though that through playing you earn a lot of extra sp...

The current and previous EvE EP s have publicly said they have no plans to work on wis. I don't know how to make it simpler for you.

I still aspire to one day open an avatar beauty boutique / salon in one of the available trade units in the main Plaza of Amarrs Emperor Family station.

I envisage a grand public transport hyper loop network augmented by interconnecting metro tunnels allowing for small, but powerful and speedy mechanised avatar mounts to travel along as a means to conveniently, and quickly commute between my CQ and desired destinations within the station environment.

Courting avatars might take scenic hand held walks along the main promenade at night, enjoying each other’s company as they digest the visual splendour of the views from the observation domes offering magnificent vantage points of the planet below emanating with the solar glow from distant stars.

Those who enjoy a flutter might frequent the gambling booths with their hard-earned intersteller kredits. The double your isk slot machines will no doubt be rigged and best avoided however. Such establishments would require a contingent of burly security personnel to keep those who encounter misfortune from becoming unruly.

Thirsty capsuleers might sate their palates in one of the many mead taverns or refreshment parlours. Those of high esteem and wealth would likely gather at social establishments on the upper levels but nothing might rival the lively atmospheric buzz the rowdy common capsuleers could generate in the lower level musical dancing halls.

The midnight candle bistros or delicacies in alternative eateries would be a fine way to wind down and end an evening after having absorbed exhilarating entertainment at the grand Amarr Cineplex with all the spectacles it has to offer. The Gallente Girls Go-Go show no doubt would not be for those faint of heart or a prudish nature.

This is the vision, a glimpse of the future. Please make it a reality.

Well tough. EVE is just a game like any other, with it's target niche and it's desire to grow. AS time moves on, so do the ideals of the game and as it expands it attracts a larger variety of people. It's not your game, so whether you like it or not is irrelevant. CCP don't want to rely on hoping the existing playerbase never dies to keep itself going, because that's simply unrealistic.

Except it's not. We don't need the updated UI, we don't need prettier asteroid fields, we don't need ship skins and we don't need the new NPCs. Again it's about expanding the depth of the virtual world.

Well unfortunately, EVE wasn't really aiming to become anti-immersive. And again, players can play what they like, and if CCP decides to change EVE to better suit the newer players, that's just tough luck for you.

Further though, adding WiS wouldn't even affect you! You simply wouldn't click it, tada! No problems. I don't go to a cinema to watch an action film, then get put off because another screen is showing a romantic comedy. I just don't watch the films I don't like.

More than just a pretty face, Boom Boom.

But I already knew that.

Tbh though I already look at Amarr Emperor Family Station as your beauty salon. Saying hi in local is always my first priority and to get 5 mins of face-time with you Boom Boom, the true empress of Amarr, only goes to validate my status as Anoikin fashion elite.

It would still be nice to see something in the future.

Even if they used what they have initially to form part of an induction process for new players prior to their impending space careers.

Aura talks with screens just like in our Quarters showing brief guides or short vidoes of things which they will likely encounter early in their space careers, or something along those lines to perk new player interest.

Yeah OK have fun denying reality.
