EVE Information Portal

In real life clothes are all about the opportunity to be SEEN. For now that is going to be limited to snapshots and maybe video clips on utube.

So right now capsuleers urgently need a place to take more interesting pictures featuring all those clothes. And EVE really needs to add trophies, medals and plaques to stuff that can be seen in pictures.

(1) I suggest CCP start developing a trophy room to attach to the Captain's Quarters. Because displaying all the famous corpses and other trophies that capsules should be able to take can take a lot more room than CQ now has. Besides a separate room isolates most of the issues with new features to an area away from existing stuff that works in CQ. Maybe you buy the room for aurum. (i.e. maybe the option to have a few trophies in current CQ without buying extra room gets added later after debugging mounting issues in trophy room).

(2) I suggest easy to implement upgrades to ways to optionally display photos in game: EVEmail attachments, personalized killmail photos, and "facebook" links in character info to toon entries. Toon "facebook" entries could include links to out of game sources like utube for video clips. In game facebook style entries could be pretty crude but maybe have a option to export photos and additionally link to real facebook page for those who want to go crazy. Optional selection means minimal impact on those with low end hardware and low impact if the initial code has bugs.

(3) I suggest that CCP eventually add a group photo room as a precursor to any real station walking. Basically an upgraded trophy room photo area where corp members can gather for posing with corp trophies. Or maybe alliance leaders or fleet members. It will be a go place to work out bugs in gathering multiple avatars and maybe trophy items from multiple sources. I think time spent here will be a lot more popular with players who mostly want to fly ships than general station walking. Think military organizations and business related memo photos.

Group photo rooms might be part of corp HQ offices or other rental offices or they might be optional upgrades. But facilities for
fleets and groups from multiple corps might well be something that is only rented for aurum or LP from station owners. In fact you might even want to structure things so that smaller corps find one time annual rental as a barely affordable way of looking like the big shot corps.

And what does happen to all those trophies that could only be carried in a time consuming manner (so much load per person or rental cart) when the rental time runs out? ;)

While we are talking issues of vanity, can I suggest some non-hideous sunglasses?

I won't wear them but seeing less people commit a fashion faux pas [in my eyes at least]
would do the eve universe a whole lot of good.

This may not be about clothes persay, but Ive been hoping youd add more hairstyles over time.

Ive been hoping for a ponytail for males in particular.

Please CCP, give me my ponytail! ;-;

I will certainly buy something.

Deal with it!

Need you to express you self in more detail content = stuff and clothes is stuff.

I want Mechanics, and interaction ability to socialize with other players and to interact with a the environment beyond being a Camelion. I want the be able to open a Bar sell goods. mush like what was proposed for Establishments. I would like explorer missions out of pod as suggested as an option from Last Fan feast.

Unfortunately the Snafu with Incarna last year has made more than a hand full of people paranoid that CCP will slip back into Pre Crucible development. So they have to tread lightly and build the trust and gauge how much acceptance as ambulation and the Next store.

Immediate Future:

Break the exclusive connection of Nex and WIS

I would like to see CCP attempt to break the tight bond of WIS to the Nex store by adding some FIS vanity items. Like the customizing of the Ship's skins, in space monuments that can be installed into non sovereignty space, have an aurum up keep to remain anchored, but can still be damage(new profession Vandal) and repaired.(new profession Caretaker) This will help separate the two demographics of who oppose the Nex Store and who oppose Barbie Dress up.

Allow Avatar Visits to other CQ

I would like to see the ability to Port to another's CQ this should separate the Groups who want to role play with others from those who want to play Barbie dress their avatar (alone in the dark).. On the negative this may weaken the push for WIS, as some people are satisfied with finally being able to socially interact with another. On the other hand it may just give them a highly addicted taste and make them scream for more.
The comment of simply appearing in another quarters breaks the 4th wall, (the seamless engagement of the world), I would say it is invalid. We do not have a docking and undocking animations which is similar in concept. I think, we the community make the jump of belief, that there is something beyond that door, especially when concept art becomes available.
I would love to see our 1 Small hard working Dev group on WIS do a raid on the Atlanta office and steal the animation work the Atlanta office have been working on to give us social commands for CQ.
I also understand there is also work being done on the bottle neck the limit of how many people can be in the same room over powering the Graphics CPU and that we are currently limited to only 3-5 people per room. (My source is just rumour)
As a first step I am sure the “WIS pro” group would understand this limitation and provide positive support for allowing us to interact with the content already provided.

Allow us Players to donate assets to the WIS project or Vanity items to the FIS project.

I understand that art department wants to control the esthetic themes with in eve especially when coming to the major races with pirate faction being a blend of the 4 main player races. So when you step in eve, anywhere, you know you are in New Eden.
I know there are some serious graphical designers apart of the eve community that would love the opportunity to donate some graphical assets to be included into the eve universe and would be willing to follow some graphical design requirements.
The goal here is not to introduce new art work into the game but build player ownership with in the game. Players grouping together to make a unique event like Burn Jita, the will remain in the minds of many for year, we have limited Dev run small events (taking up non self sustaining dev time) or small player grouping like mining or larger events like Battles over a resource. There is little for the soloer that can look at a small group of pixiles on his screens saying I did that, The T3 Battle Cruiser Design Contest was a sample of this.
...Actually Decorating ones own CQ full fills similar desires for us not artistic people


Avoid Side Grade Enhancements NEX till much later:

In Dust 514 there is a heavy talk about Side grade enhancements to specialize the way we play, I would love for CCP first Exhaust Cosmetic options like;
-->Clothing,
--> Emotes,
--> Player Build Monuments that can be damage, yet not destroyed if a Maintenance Cost is paid, (this will allow active players remove items that inactive accounts who have no longer any vested interest into the game to have their foot print removed)
-->Ship Skins,
-->Ship Hulls Changes that don't effect game play.
--> Pets
-->Advertizements on those next to the gates screens
--> Make BPC for some items and have some of the components still need to be collected resources.

Or allow limited automated Services like:
--> Automaton able to give out goods if a certain type of good is received, like a re-occurring repetitive contract.
--> Batch Processing – String an assembly line of stuff together to build something so this special BPC can at one click of a button build several T2 Guardian from just Minerals, NPC Components, and Blue Prints I dump into a special container in my station Hanger.

Cont...

That would be Second Life, that's just one of the ways. Others entirely design their stuff or subscontract it to specialized firms.




EvE got miners, those games get their own "bottom of the ladder" players. They will always end at the bottom. Does not mean the others can't do better.




No idea, I played Diablo 1 for few hours, finished it in 1 try, never launched a next version again.

I'd submit that you finished the story, but not the game. You finish the game when you play as all the character types and through all the difficulty levels. Very few people "finished" Diablo.

Just incase anyone is reading - The walking in stations tech has the ability to be an awesome exploration focused part of eve.. just saying.

Also seems sensible this new clothing option. Even most hardcore eve fans will like a new shirt. Far from the monacle debacle and I am pleased for this.

THIS.

My feedback is simple:

More clothing options, fine.
Micro transactions, not fine.

Can we be done with the NEX store already??
