EVE General Discussion

It did give me an idea though (as clearly wer're pod pilots and float in goo in a steel tomb) about the projected images or avatar pictures we get in the chat window, aka profile pics. How about animating them to lip sync when someone speaks via eve voice. It's not true avatar content but it might make people care enough about their avatar to support more avatar content in the future not to mention the obvious social benefit. If done properly in a quality way it might make a dent in the social wall that CCP seagull is desperate to demolish.

Have them animate in a the chat window instead of just moving recent speakers to the top as an optional only feature as well organised fleets won't need this but it might be fun for small gangs. Likewise if people don't like this they can switch it off or carry on using ts etc.

Wish they would just release this stuff already. Wouldnt be giving star citizen a 2nd thought if we could just open the door.

+1

I have looked into the future.

Dust 514 players will be getting to explore derelicts in the manner suggested by the OP. EVE players will not.

lol...if Star Citizen even gets released it's not a MMORPG. I also don't see wizard robes or Barbie gowns on the list of features.

Dust514 seems to have improved lately. Don't know if it's enough for it to profitable, but there has definitely been some small improvement.

The reason why I think Dust players will be walking in derelicts before us is because most of the technology is already in game. Just add PVE and some new levels.

It would annoy me greatly if it happened though. As it would be another broken promise as far as I'm concerned.

It is truly sad that the Dev focus has gone off of Eve and onto Dust and VR, It appears that they have just gotten bored with Eve the same way the blizzard devs had with WoW and Trion with Rift. Now we are spoon fed broken patches and told to be grateful for what we get, let alone what they pass off as expansions these days.

After 9 years of playing this game it's disgraceful to see Eve pushed aside when so many great ideas are just ignored, and the current Devs churn out useless modules to cater for the WoW crowd rather than making any attempt to engage the players they already have. I'm not saying we shouldnt encourage new blood to the game, just that you shouldn't **** on your own doorstep and expect people to be happy about it.

I seriously hope that someone with half a brain in CCP gets wind of plea threads like these and takes notice for once, contrary to common opinion we do actually want to make this game better.

Star Citizen s all well and good, but EVE should keep it's own image and authenticity intact. I wouldn't mind vanity content such as opening a door and walking inside my frigate, but it's still vanity content. Nothing really meaningful. I think eve is at a point that whatever they want to add in order to call is an expansion (in the veins of other mmos), needs to be grand. Only if you want it to be meaningful.

I may be half correct, but that's my 2 isk.

Or they could ignore Valkyrie/Dust, and put just as much work on ongoing Eve projects AND add Avatar content without negatively affecting the Eve development that 'you want'. They're not mutually exclusive Rhes.

You know, if you love spaceships so much maybe you should play a spaceship sim. Eve is an MMO, a social monster, where a great many of the people who play successfully hardly ever need to undock. Spaceships are the medium of our gameplay, but they are not the gameplay itself. A great many of the things that are important in Eve don't require spaceships at all.
