He said he didn't like watching men virtually dance around wearing cartoons. How is that a mark of Homophobia?

He didn't say he didn't like watching men actually dance around. He didn't say he had a problem with men dancing around. He didn't say that men shouldn't be allowed to dance around.

He just said that there's no reason to devote endless developer resources to provide a way for men to virtually dance around wearing cartoons instead of devoting those resources to adding/improving actual gameplay to the game.

How do you wear a cartoon?

Anyhow, he states "dudes emoting each other"(in every ******* post I might add)which is a wider statement than just /dancing.

So much obvious fear of human avatars to the point of being a phobia, the fact that it is always
focused on being "dudes" leads me to suspect that it is homophobic in nature.

Maybe you guys should get a room, and work out your demons?

You know that like and get liked thread? Things are bad enough as it is without avatars for dudes to emote each other in.

That's what an avatar is. A cartoon that you wear.

Perhaps the fact that he mentions dudes is the demographic fact that the EVE playerbase is disproportionately Male?


Oh, and threads like these become repetitive because the Multiplayer CQ guys keep refusing to specify what actual gameplay a multiplayer CQ will add. And "it'll improve the 'social aspect' of the game" is not an answer.

Again, the Dungeon crawling adventures that Team Avatar has been working on are awesome. It's too bad they can't talk about them because every thread gets taken over by the guys calling for multiplayer CQ where we can walk around and do nothing with other people first.

Huh? I'm pretty sure that a cartoon is an artistic representation of a character and not
something you wear.

How dare you imply that simple social interaction isn't gameplay for people. This notion that "actual" or "meaningfull" has to involve some sort of ganking/looting/pvp is absolute bull ****, and only serves the people who want to stall and delay WiS.

Really? They are? Please tell us about what they look like, and how awesome they are. Oh, and while you are at it, tell CCP,
because I dont think even they know what the duce you are talking about.

Seriuosly, just like every other anti-WiS poster you are just speaking nonsense and spreading lies and half truths, rather than adding some constructive input as to what the future could hold for EVE.

You're just another emote-o-phobic naysayer.

Social interaction is facilitated by talking to people. I've seen no evidence that having an avatar to wear in any way facilitates that. If it did, don't you think you'd see people using IMVU instead of TS3/Mumble?

Ummm... here's CCP t0rfifrans's presentation (in Germany, Ghazu sniped me with the Russian one) on the dungeon crawling that they've been working on. Do try to keep up with the thread before trying to call people out.

Locking other people inside and welding the door shut. That's actual, consequential gameplay. Walking around in an empty room with nothing to do but talk to each other (or other actions better done through extant interfaces) is not adding consequential gameplay. It's IMVU in space. Which isn't worth Dev time.

So, I'm anti WIS because I actually want it to succeed instead of launching another installation of "so, what do we do with this empty room" failure. Alrighty...

"Meaningful gameplay" is like a catchword. "Meaningful" to whom? To people who never cared of WiS or are against it? Meaningful to the people who want other ways to play EVE?

Does it matter at all? EVE was born crippled and will never be anything else than it is now. It does not even try.

"Meaningful" = "Consequential" as in Gameplay which has Consequences.

Talking to each other Avatar to Avatar has no different consequences than talking to each other through Text Chat, Voice Chat, or Skype.

Consequences? They are highly overestated. Players only like the consequences that others suffer, but do whatever is in their hands to avoid consequences themselves and boast on how the consequeces they suffer are more than enough. Roll

Everyone is a minmaxer in a win/loss scheme, but then win/loss is not the only way to play.

If all you ever did was solo mine and mission, of course it's difficult to see any gameplay progression apart from extra percent in your wallet tick or mining yield.

Inflicting consequences on other players whilst attempting to avoid consequences being inflicted on oneself, sounds like actual gameplay, EVE gameplay. Finally a suggestion for WIS I can get behind. Big smile
