EVE General Discussion

I rather like the idea of using the EVE-Dust connection and the Dust Battleserver connection to make avatar gameplay possible. Simple, easy, already has the hardware and infrastructure, (and much of the code), in place as far as I can tell.

It has potential for the EVE Universe. Generally the people that are big pushers for WiS are more ... shall we say ... misaligned with EVE as a concept. I still believe the highest value can be seen when WiS is a separate, but integrated game client with it's own development team, revenue stream, etc. Similarly executed to Dust.

I have (had, until for some strange reason it was locked) what I thought was a well thought out suggestion thread on how to approach it. Listed in my signature if you're interested in reading it.

Oh, you worked a new avatar. no more a cute little girl but a big thought macho? So sweet.

Personally, and I know I am not alone, I would much prefer any WiS content to be in the same client. Unless your talking about using dust as a platform Eve really doesn't need any extra clients linking with it to complicate matters. Two clients interacting in one universe is ground breaking enough for the time being thanks. Also, frankly I want to have access to any WiS gameplay, and I don't have a PS3.

As for big pushers of WiS being misaligned with "Eve as a concept", would you kindly explain what makes me misaligned with Eve as a concept? In case you need some info on me to decide... I am a small gang and solo PvPer, and casual CEO of a merc corp, who has an industry alt. I have suicide ganked, I have issued wars and been on the defending side with carebears, I've run incursions, WH sites, an industry corp, lived in Sov and NPC null where I've FCed carrier kills and small stuff, been in gangs of various sizes etc. To cut it short, I have tried most of the core gameplay styles and I still play in what most people would call the stereotypical Eve play style.

Most of the people posting here are "misaligned with eve as a concept", because very few have experienced great variation in their gameplay. Most people find an area of Eve they are happy with and stick to it. Which is why you get such varying opinion.

Well since the necro apparently is okay, I'll give my opinion.

I don't want them to put WiS in any part of the game outside of stations. If I can't explore in a ship, I don't want to do it. If I have to walk around in some kind of space hulk to complete a mission, I don't want to do it.

I can see the merit of walking in stations. But the moment it spills over to anywhere else I will be done.

Covered:

That's why CCP were forced to postpone WiS for the time being, because people want WiS so dearly... Wait, that doesn't make sense.
They were forced to postpoone WiS because the CASUAL MAJORITY wanted more eye candy... no... no, that's not it either.

I agree with Ai Shun. If you want avatar based content go play another game. You aren't going to get it here, because that's how we like it.

I personal hope, this will be the first steps , which brings us later into the szenario of conquering other pilots ships. Where probally ship crews would have a great role to protect against intruders. Or there is a chance , kidnapping some of the crew members, which have significant penaltys for the pod pilot, except if he is not stopping them.

The adventage of eve is the open space, a great place for playing with the imagination.

yeah like i want to like, open a bar or corp room, so like um we can like meet like face to face, or i want my pleasure hub, can i get new furniture in my cq from space ikea, can i have pets, can i invite my special friend so just two of us can emote each other in our cq since we don't have multiple avatar gameplay yet, can i get some new pants, oh god wis is shelved, goodbye eve i am unsubbing, but i won't

that about sums up the 99% of dogshite ideas i've seen, so seriously wait for the devblog and stop posting more bad ideas. except for the one where wis is quarantined in another client, with a big "freaks go here" sign.

oh and lol drone clones and complex /dance,

So people who want the door open are freaks ?
ok ,then i am a freak.
But still your little brain could not keep the word emoting out of 1 of your replies.

You see , i am not a fan of DUST and sometimes i make that clear.
But you don,t see me over and over again with the same words in a discussion thread involving DUST,bc i know a lot of people like the idea of DUST and EvE and they are entitled to their opinion.
Your little brain can,t understand that other people can like things you and the other anti WIS whiners don,t like.
If you can add something to this discussion ,be my guest or just keep making a fool of yourself by shouting the same crap.
Let the WIS wanters discuss WIS ,like i let the planetshooters do their discussion
