Last I heard the future plan for THE WIS is to spend Mitten's 10 billion isk while attempting not to be suicide ganked by a bunch of PO'd Goonies Lol

Not sure if that is the plan but sadly the mittens apology thread may become bigger than this one! Gah!

Actually, to the ambulation opponents you can't deny that multiple repeats of the vision video which almost all about ambulation says CCP still shares a vision in and outside space ships.

We must get them to open that door!!

the only parts of ambulation im interested in right now is are we going to be able to interact in lobbies with dust players?

What we really need is Mintchiplol in WiS and less of Mittens talking about THE WIS in the forums

I was totally underwhelmed with WiS at introduction. Now I don't even bother. I would rather be in space vs being in station anyway. When I feel the need to have a cool body and clothes to talk to other gamers, I fire up Star Trek Online or Life2.

We all know that WIS will be a long way to go.

Some devs are prototyping some stuff as rhey mentioned

Maybe some devs could explain here whats is done so far
maybe some screens or vids from some tryouts

Now Fanfest is done they could come in this thread more and share their ideas with us .
asking for ideas and not replying is a one way communication
If you say that you have devoted 4 devs and QA to WIS ,at least show some stuff

To give Incarna props, hype about it did bring me into Eve, and I stayed.

That said, I've really taken to the in space part of the game. I see the game more completely than I did in the beginning, so it's only natural that my scope has grown to appreciate inspace content development. This is why the fact that WiS is on the backburner doesn't bother me.

When they do eventually get back to it, I'm expecting 2 things: player owned establishments, and the ability to hang out in them with my ingame friends and/or enemies. Twisted Dance emotes etc would just be icing. Cool

Cheers,

Looks like you and me have something in common. The moment I heard about Incarna, I made an account, downloaded the trial and the rest is history. The more I played though, the more I appreciated spaceships and the serious business that comes with them haha. I do still really want WiS, but hey, I'm chillin in my ship blowin stuff up and life is good.

PoEs would be the absolutel shiznit for me lol. I would love to open up my own little Omega (Mass Effect 2) or End of Line (Tron) where people could just come and chill. Only difference for my club would be I want neon everything so when you walk in your eyes just start sizzling then the one guy who actually wears sunglasses indoors can strut on it like it's nothin haha. Seriously though, I would like some sort of establishments...anything will do for me really. I do want to 'open uo my own place' though. I just like the idea of owning my own little pad in-game lol.

To go off on a slight tangent though, did someone mention during a fanfest panel something about modular POS and ones that are manageable by one person and/or a small corp? I could've sworn a presenter glossed over it for a bit, but I don't remember. I think I was doing something else at the time so I kept catching bits and pieces of the presentation. Anywho, if that is true, it'd be cool to hear more about that. I mean if we do get POEs one day, modular stations with tons of different designs that don't require much management would be a really nice touch to have.

Huh, I walked the opposite way, came in interested about spaceship stuff, had some disappointments with it and eventually found a little niche, then the niche exhausted and i began interesting myself in the new avatars.

Knowing what i do know today, probably i should had left EVE in my first year, when it became apparent that what really caught my interest was a utterly broken feature that, three years later, still is as broken as always has been.

This game really has nothing else to offer but gang PvP, and the only PvP i am interesed with is becoming a vigilante and make life miserable to griefers. Mechanics don't allow it and so I don't really have a reason to bother overcoming my natural aversion to losing stuff an then going through the boring repetitive effort of rebuilding it again and again and again.

I've come to a point where not even salvager drones can make me go back to mission running... mining agaisnt botters is a waste of time... and bounty hunting is even in worst shape.

Oh, and WiS is non-existant and the plans are to keep it that way for years while plans are planned.

I'll get behind ambulation when they offer the option to watch Roadhouse on our captains quarter's screen. CCP, make it happen.

If they do archaeology by going into abandoned ruins?

Cant they boost hacking by going into secure automated facilities and stealing software?

Open up your heart and let the Patrick Swayze Christmas in.
We'll gather at the Road House with our next of kin.
And Santa can be our regular Saturday night thing.
We'll decorate a barstool and gather round and sing.
Oh, let's have a Patrick Swayze Christmas this year!
Or we'll tear your throat out and kick you in the ear...

It's my way or the highway, this Christmas at my bar.
I'll have to smash your kneecaps if you bastards touch my car!
I got the word that Santa has been stealing from the till.
I think that that right jolly old elf had better make out his will!
Oh, let's have a Patrick Swayze Christmas, one and all.
And this can be the haziest...
This can be the laziest...
This can be the Swayziest Christmas of them all!

WTF?

Seeing all the 'Goon Clowns on Parade' in this thread makes me think the Circus is coming to town, er WiS.
