So if you start playing Left 4 Dead because you like garden gnomes, it is your opinion that the real problem with this pairing isn't so much that you picked the wrong game, but that Valve focused too much on zombies, rather than gnomes…?


This made me almost laugh, at least giggle. xD

I'm looking forward to what CCP has to offer us with Ambulation. (i just call it that now)
I'd love to see bars, people in bars, people playing games in bars.

Yeah, the games.
The one they showed in a video at ... fanfest ?
Can't recall where i saw it, but it looked interesting.

Also, actually RUNNING a bar would probably be fun, too !
PRICES FOR EXOTIC DANCERS WILL GO WAY UP !! BUY NOW !!!!!!


And now, for clarification ...
if it sucks... well ... then i don't give a ****,
i'm a capsuleer anyway and i left the planet because i actually
DID NOT WANT TO SEE ANOTHER PERSON EVER AGAIN ! (oh i love RP ^^)

Oh well..... ^^

seriously... you'd think from the amount of whining i have seen from the CSM that the last 10 expansions have done nothing to FiS...

there has been ONE whole expansion where 'ambulation' has been, after so many months (years) of waiting, released and showcased. just one. and even then some of the little things that irritated people in space have been fixed.

not to mention our shiny new turrets...

it seems a little harsh of the CSM to whine this much about one expansion, especially one that was specifically geared towards the release of ambulation ( WiS).

Ambulation has been planned for how long now? CCP has been saying it intended to do such an expansion for a long time, and a lot of people were complaining that it had not yet happened.
now that it has finally happened, all i see is complaints that CCP have spent the necessary time and resources to make it happen.

you can't have it both ways, and personally, i think it is about time that WiS was released.

one last point... to those who are complaining, and in some cases performing acts that could well be seen as IG-sabotage (Jita riots etc)

CCP have given us a great game, and so far, twice a year, have given us FREE expansions to allow us to use more of the universe they have created for us, mos other games charge as much as the original game costs for each expansion, and release them on a much slower basis.

I would personally like to thank the Dev team for their hard work, and reiterate my belief that WiS is a good thing for the game. Immersion is a good thing, and it is something that EvE has been lagging behind on for some time.

The bottom line is this game is already 99% all about FiS (Flying in Space). The winter expansion needs to focus a majority of its development time on WiS (Walking in Stations). I joined this game mainly due to Incarna and that is the game play CCP needs to focus on. Sure change the warp speed on logistics if you must, but keep the focus on WiS.

It's what the players want, its what CCP want and its what I want.


I think you were looking for second life.

What you don't realise is 0.0 pvp is the economy driver in eve. Null sec pvp has taken a down turn and subscriptions are down. Incarna was a failure. It's clear many more players couldn't give a **** about it.

Really? More space to watch?

You all haven't done anything with the last space you told us to watch yet....

CCP have made a big thing of "EVE Online is a sci-fi simulator. Here is walking-in-stations" through trade press and presentations at several FanFests.

While I didn't join EVE specifically for WiS, I have been looking forward to it for some time.

Exactly.

When I joined EVE there was vids about the Incarna/Ambulation feature so yes, I joined with that in mind. Didn't know it would take that long or that it would be so complicated or killing my PC but still ... I want it!

I have two guesses...

Either Oct 2 or Oct 20

"space equals 20"

I got the 2nd from the decimal for 0x20 being 32 and if Sept had 32 days it would land on Oct 2nd

Tho I guess you could try applying this to any month...

I can see no way that WIS can do anything but improve the immersion of this game.

Why are some people so against this?

I've been waiting three plus years for this, as have many others. If you can be bothered to look back more than six posts, you'll also see that it was a part of the original vision for this game, limited by the technology of the time.

Well, now they have the means to continue their dream of the most comprehensive future sim in the genre and I look forward to seeing how it goes.

You all got your ship spinning back. Hooray for you. I'd rather take a stroll on the promenade deck, thank you.

I don't particularly care about Walking in Stations either way. I just want CCP to stop delivering not-even-half-finished content like a bunch of idiots.

if wis actually provided any value to eve and my gaming experiance that woudl be great, currently it dosnt add anything to me personnaly, and tbqh my game experance is about me and shooting people in the face when i choose to.
if people like wis thats great, if it actually added to the eve universe that would also be great. but from what ive seen (1room) and from what ccp have said(3 more rooms and an bar of some kind that only a few people could ever use together) i personally see it adding noting to my gamining experiance and it only detracting(if it was forced in its current incarnation) from my shooting people in the face game play.

maybe in a few years when ccp actually get round to fixing whats rushed out in the next few months it might be AWESOM. but currently thats not how i see and evaluate incarna.

each to there own though, so if you love it enjoy, just as long as it dosnt **** with my game play i couldnt care less about incarna.

OMG when can i get a pic here

"space equals 20" referred to a hidden message coded in hex on the CQ screens, it decoded to "YOU HAVE WAY TOO MUCH TIME ON YOUR HANDS".

At the risk of seeming too pedantic, the only way you can be properly 'shooting people in the face when i choose to' is avatar to avatar, not ship to ship.

I too would like the opportunity to do this. Thus WIS is what we need.

Or expand DUST to include station battles.

If we can walk in stations which have the feel of the stuff in Donaldson's Gap Series then I will be all for it.

But the last thing thing that I want is walk around a shopping centre in space. CCP have given us stations dozens of miles in length; how they plan to let us walk around these I will leave it up to up them.

Let's see. A dozen miles of station, hundreds of miles of corridors, tens of thousands of vending machines. Yes, we can all become Rimmer if we wish.

Walking With Haemorrhoids is very much a poor bolt on. The stations are far too large for this and the game is going feel very odd and I fear a little like WoW.

Give us Mallory's Bar or just don't bother.

as i said each to there own, but if you think your gonna get in station fighting any time before 2015 i think your in for a upset.
even if and when i can bicth slap someone in the face it will have no real meaning, unless your gonna cause them to loose skillpoints, or a real isk value. with ships they always loose something when they die

Any establishment I own will ban you from the start, so you won't be able to get in to vent your preteen frustrations.

Awww.... just foiled all your little plans did I? DEAL WITH IT!
