BAHA!

Anyone else thoroughly entertained that sleeve tats just made their way in as another marketing push?

The true EVE Gold Club: monocles, golden pods, and tatts everywhere.

(edit: please note, I'm glad more vanity items are making their way in-game. I just wish there was a way to make a player industry out of it, instead of it being slowly monetized by CCP Marketing.)




The moment their Quafe T-shirts, Quafe skin ships, monocles hats and whatnot are not "pay to win" I can care less how many those tatoos are worth of or how many dudes will buy them, let them be and give their money to CCP, what's the problem about this?

Honestly, I've no issue with the folk who buy these things. I've already got a right arm 'prototype' tattoo, and I've got the collector's edition. Why? Well, a couple of beers, a moment of, "Ooh, shiny!," and there you have it. S'all good, of course.

I just sort of wish CCP would do something with its cache of Incarna assets that added more game value. How could this be done? I'm still not completely sure. But I'm curious, I wonder, and I feel that marketing hooks are a poor employment.

The sleeve tattoos also arent listed on the Amazon preorder bonuses, so should i expect a few days delay in getting the new codes? or a week and a half like the first time amazon got screwy with codes?

Going to be any special offerings where you can get the Eve stuff without the DUST crap? Like at a discounted price? Would be awesome if this was done. Would be more inclined to buy the Collector's Edition if I could get it without the DUST crap.

You can buy them on the market if someone decides to sell theirs.

I believe at some point we will make them available through different ways, but the pre-order people will be the only ones sporting them for some time.

That is absoltly ridicikilous,

Haha, here's a marketing idea for you, CCP: EVE Sims.

Build your family business on a space station in the Eve-O universe, selling vanity items and services to capsuleers.

(****, now I'm afraid they might actually pick this one up.) Shocked



That was one of the original concepts for "establishments": a bar, a specialty item store, etc. imagine the furore if access to a tattoo cost a dozen PLEX but then you could run a tattoo parlour and sell copies of that tattoo onto capsuleers' bodies?

Meanwhile poor peasants have to wait couple more years for accessible tattoos in EVE... Or just play APB Reloaded where tattoos are free and avatars are somewhat close to EVE quality (game is fun btw).

Personally I ordered the collectors edition for what comes in the box. I have been playing this game for years and having a few things to dot around my study for me was worth the price, but any little trinkets are a added bonus and the Sleeves are cool Big smile

Start wide, expand further, and never look back

the thing i dislike is they only gave us the option of 1.

If we really have to wait "a long time" for them to be openly available the cost of having both sleeves is going to be a touch silly :P

should have let us have one for each arm

I like the new sleeves, it makes it very easy to identify those with more dollars then sense. To be honest I don't know if I should find it funny or sad that people are willing to spend over 150 pounds (euros? I don't know as an 'Merican it is socially unacceptable for me to know any other currency symbols besides $) on making their avatar in a video game look 'cool'. For that kind of money I would much rather spend it on real ink, than virtual ink. But you know what they say about fools and their money, they soon find themselves apart.
