Sorry but most folks here will confirm that I don't troll.

Since you don't own one of these lovely (but temporarily invisible) shirts, you cant have noticed that there is a faint pattern on them quite reminiscent of Joy Division's "Pleasure Principle" album cover.

Yeah, lame right?

I don't care about the ingame shirt at all, it's cool that it's bugged but I'm not going to go around wearing it IRL like I would with a nice fanfest T-shirt

I'm quite fond of my 2006, 2007, 2008 shirts , in fact all the ones they made before they started making the complete garbage and pointless Quafe ones

No quafe girl, no need for quafe shirts either. Perhaps make some pirate faction shirts or some with text like "I pod on the first date".

That would be fun, but the Fanfest shirt needs to be a bit more generic for a broader-interest fanbase.

Thus the use of the innocuous Quafe meme.

What's the deal with the Quafe shirts ?

Seriously the fanfest t-shirts were awesome before you started doing the whole quafe thing - Quafe is not cool, the t-shirts with Quafe on them are not cool , please just stop it.
The Quafe energy drink was a great idea and I'm happy to buy some from you, just stop putting it on t-shirts - whoever had the idea to start that should be fired (possibly from a cannon).
I will be super disappointed if this fanfest's t-shirt has Quafe on it again for like the third time in a row, it's both lazy and in poor taste.

Thanks

What is so bad about Quafe shirts? Why exactly is it lazy in and poor taste? I don't understand your point. You seem mad.

If previous Fanfests are any indication I'm sure your t-shirt will look more interesting after you've been sick down it and collapsed into the gutter again.

You can't see how doing the same shirt design every year is lazy ?
I'm mad, you're blind.

I'm not massively keen on the designs either. But I was just interested because you said that it is in poor taste. Personally I think it is quite fitting with the lore of Eve and reminds me of an ever pervasive mega corporation trying to brainwash the citizens of Eve. I remember the quafe advertising was one of the striking points for myself in setting the lore and feeling of the environement in the game when I first begun playing.

Also, OP's own hatred of the shirt and not wanting one prevented OP being a participant in the Amazing Disappearing Quafe Shirt Naked Extravaganza of YC 115, and accompanying hilarious threads.

Player instead whined for hours on this forum about design.

And changed and convinced nobody.

Oh no I didn't get to spend 80 mil on a bugged shirt so I could see my character's bra, woe is me and some dumb forum troll who thinks he speaks for everyone (and clearly hasn't actually read this thread) thinks I'm whiny. QQ

Now you are just being stupid. And a troll.

You are blocked so I don't see your nonsense.

Goodbye.

Not to be an ********, but what do eve artists even DO these days?
Seriously, majority of new **** is just recoloured stuff that's already been created.

Really, can somebody answer this question? Just how many art designers do they even have?

Apparently designing 'new environments' for "Odyssey".

There are a few exploration and mission sites as well that look changed and different the past few months.

Considering the price of attending the FF , and the total awesomness they told us, last year, about what the 10th anniversary FF will be. Yes, I think we could expect a bit more of originality/creativity about the RL T-shirt they will give us.

And the point I'm making is that this OP is whining about it and nobody has even seen what the official shirt is yet.

Cause they give same RL shirt as virtual, so the Quafe one. Still hope we will be wrong, but very unlikely.

Exactly. I'm just tired of people whining on the Forum when in actuality, nothing is known.
