EVE General Discussion

Here's an idea: make all hairstyles and clothing options available to all races, to increase the customisation potential we can get out of our characters.

So what content are you thinking off Team Avatar ?
You asked the community to put in ideas in this thread and in the Features and Ideas section of this forum.
So any ideas posted on these forums liked by TA?


What worries me a bit ,is that nobody can tell when a single extra room like a corp meeting room is possible

WiS has allot of potential. however the way CCP implemented it, is what killed it. It has been something players wanted since 2003. it's 2012 now and all we got was a prison cell. I say don't abandon it, make it more relevant.

I feel that this is a part of the problem. We don't really know what to expect, and thus we have to indulge in the sort of baseless speculation you see in every WiS thread on this forum - and we can't really give feedback on ideas that we haven't heard yet. I know that CCP is trying to tighten up its expectation management, but seriously guy, throw us a bone here.

If CCP thinks it "listened to the community" and that community said no WiS, CCP was listening only to the millstone around its own neck.

Broaden the notion "community" to the full player base, to include players NOT represented by a nullsec CSM or actively screaming at CCP and each other on these forums.

Broaden the notion of "community" to include all those gaming SciFi fans who would join the player base if only they could identify their participation with human bodies not just hunks of space metal.

The deep attraction of the SciFi fantasy as always been "manned space flight."

Wht I'd like to see in Incarna-related features:

1. Full availability of all racial traits to all characters, regardless of race. This implies hairs, tatoos etc. There has been quite a lot of intermingling of all four major races for minmatar tatoos to be available outside the actual race, despite the fact only minmatar engage in the acivation ritual, if I recall correctly. Regardless, nothing stops a gallente to marry a minmatar and have a baby that will bear the icon.

2. Gloves. Really, thats seriously lacking.

3. Helmets and visual gubbins that don't cost anything to put on. Like the character from your story that represents himself by a fully mechanised plugged-in suit. We want that, really. The more the merrier. Don't forget an eyepatch.

4. Bionic parts. Don't restrict these to "either you got your left leg replaced, or your right leg". Make it fully costumizeable. Up to having a wooden leg for giggles. To complement the eyepatch of course.

5. Ok, now to something a wee bit more serious and complicated:

5.1. Incarna still feels lonely. Space doesn't when your in a fleet. Allow for corporations to "rent" a room at a station. Stations have a limited number of rooms thusly enabling only a few corporations to actually "live" there. Either that, or link it the Corporation Headquarters. In this room, and only in this room, you can look at other people's avatars and sit around and play pretend. Information for this is minimal, since its basically like a FPS.

5.2. Allow for emotes to activly make your character do things. like smoking, thumping his feet, sit on the floor, whatever. Think of it as preparation for World of Darkness, since, you know, people -will- want to do those "silly" things.

5.3. Use the previous system t allow for invitations for a player to sit in your quarters. Everything else is... Well, up to the emote and players.

5.4. Make it fun for roleplayers, since they'll be the ones to probably use it far more often.

5.5. Probably do some sort of animation that doesn't make it look like your character left the pod instantly all dressed and ready to go. We might forget that the pods are actually filled in goo, and that, you know, your guy is butt-naked, except maybe by having a flight-suit or some underpants.

6. Create an animation that makes it look like your camera drone is flying into the ship hull everytime you undock and dock, so that it stops feeling like a game.

it's an ok dev blog, at least it shows the correct direction, mentions "gameplay", "contributing to the ecology of greater EVE universe". do keep these dev blogs coming, at least once every 6 months. wis needs more than sense/ content it needs purpose.

stop whining about the corp room, even if it is perfect it is still useless as in dudes emoting each other.

Well, I made a thread that got linked in a dev blog! Wow! I'm not worthy!

Now on to the reality. Nothing I saw in the dev blog gave me much hope of seeing anything interesting in my Eve lifetime given how many years have gone by with no actual content.

It makes me sad the dev blog leads with sleeve tattoos as if that is what keeps us from loving WiS. Honestly, that smacks of Incarna/NeX thinking that got us to this fail point.

Also mentioning scrapping establishments which was hugely supported and continuing with the "change in focus" line makes me think CCP is drinking the FiS is all that really matters koolaide.

Team Bipedal, you need to do better than that blog. Communications is a start, but this really under-delivered.

That we even had to wait for that information free "setting the stage for nothing meaningful" ambulation non-content "nothing soon" dev-blog should make us all ask what did CCP think our reaction to the blog should be?

Screw the tattoos, open the door CCP!!!

And soon!!!

Shared rooms, sooner rather than later.

The blog stated pretty much what I expected it to, and I was happy to
see that they will release content as it is ready. The EVE universe we
have today wasn't released on day one, so it makes sense. Start with
shared areas and add rooms/features over time.

The sooner we can share areas, the sooner the NEX store will get some
real use, and hopefully draw in some more money to improve on EVE.

It's not about WiS vs FiS, its about EVE. Adding to WiS adds to EVE
The more immersive this game becomes the better it becomes.

Being stuck in a ship ALL the time is a drag, being alone in the CQ is worse.

So many tasty, tasty tears.
And more from the Anti-Barbie crowd than the Pro-Barbie crowd.
Delicious! I LOVE THIS GAME!

What do I want?
1) I want the focus to be on FIS, with limited WiS support.
2) I want enough Avatar gameplay to suck DUST 514 players into a starship.
3) I want to keep those players in EVE.
