EVE General Discussion

Do you understand what pod pilots are? The only risk is isk

The original concept of WIS was not that one room .
When the original concept of WIS was shown ,called ambulation back then ,it was applauded by almost everybody .
Nobody was was whining about gameplay and the only thing they showed us were bars and minigames.

i am trying nothing here

what i try to say is when is when ambulation was presented ,everybody wanted it
and now all kinds of idiots are demanding gameplay to something non existing
We got nothing and still people want gameplay in nothing

you can link one of the old threads ,but still there is nothing
a big nothing for Team Avatar

You are the one trying to rewrite history there as if everyone wanted wis, and still a lot of people don't. This kind of posting of yours just makes me want to retract my original post of being in favor for doing this after iteration. You are not doing team avatar any service

Fortunately for them, some of us ignore bogus comments like such posts and make decisions for ourselves based on what they have to present when they are ready to. I'd like to see more, though I'm pretty tired of wis trollers. Only the WiS door threads have any real merit in conversations, at least they are funny.

Thank you, you beat me to it.

The original proposals for WIS had little, if anything, to do with Captains Quarters.

I think we could have lived with what was proposed originally, with the expectation that it would grow into something like this prototype in time.

Now however, nothing less that a fully functional game in and of itself will be accepted by the community. The Incarna disappointment has served to make everyone super critical of the concept as a whole... and consequently their expectations are much higher than before.

"A lot of people"? The only ones I can think of are strange people who probably already are in second life, like Jade Constantine and obnoxious people like Issler whatsherface.

Read the 2006 devblog on Game Design section again.

The current desire for WiS could all be settled with a real poll, a money poll. That is:

Part of the money from every subscription or every PLEX is used to improve the game. Bug fixes, iteration of existing features, adding new features.

Let every player say how they want their portion of their subscription ( whether it comes from PLEX or money) spent. CCP could publish a list of 10 to 20 broad categories, and let every player spread their money as they see fit. Anyone who does not vote has their portion put into the "CCP's choice" category.

Whatever money is voted into WiS is used to develop WiS, along with whatever money from the "CCP's choice" category CCP feels is appropriate. This way anyone who thinks WiS is a waste of resources can vote for something else. They be sure none of their money was used to develop WiS.

Wat? I was in sl last night for a bit in fact, before loading EVE and doing a hookbill rebuild and running some shake-down missions with it. Great game for us artist and scripter types that sl. I've had accounts there for many years, long before I subbed to EVE (EVE was a replacement for the best mmo ever, SWG, with bi-pod play that wis could never even aspire to). But I was here before incarna was released, and yes I remember clearly overwhelming rejection of even working on wis before cq was released. Having sl accounts and EVE, yep I had no desire for sl to be in EVE ...or really more accurately I think, for EVE to turn into the SIMS online.

But you know, I'm just going to retract my original post of supporting work on wis. I've had no interest in really talking about wis since the release of cq or even before, and I just don't want to be mistakenly connected to the long time wis advocates here that seem to be unable to even remember what they had for lunch yesterday.

I still recognize that the majority of players that play this game still don't want wis, they have no agenda to be here in forums 24/7 like wis supporters do trying to convince ccp to not listen to the majority of the playerbase. Most players in the game probably don't even know about this thread, it's stealthy as I didn't see it on my rss feed last night when I was looking for it there. Maybe a news spot for this in the launch client would be ideal? Probably not, eh? heh. But no, they don't support it, never did. Maybe CCP can sell it to them, best done after iteration as that isn't just some whimsical idea the majority of players had which certainly made the reception of wis all that more vile for most players. Flame away trolls, I'm done with this thread.
