Going back on topic...

Hilmar said that there will be more info 'next year' on WiS at last year's EVE keynote (or was it CCP Presents?). I do hope he follows through on this tomorrow.

If you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all...

It will probably be that there's no solid plans for a couple of years at least but legion will incorporate some aspects of wis etc and be a bridge between the two.

Personally I'm thrilled with legion it gives me hope that eventually well have the full blown avatar experience at some point in the future, but in the meantime it will keep me happy and keep me subscribed.

Dumbing down of Eve Online will result in it's destruction...

hopefully, with this new release structure, they can be ambitious again and get WiS working properly.

You mean Legion, the 1st person shooter?

I could see them using Legion as a platform to develop the gameplay and environments for the WiS stuff, then link in the other games (EVE, Valkyrie, (RTS,MOBA,SPORTS??)).

It's by far the closest product to the vision and a likely candidate for development efforts should they choose to work towards the "Let them all hang out in the same room!" vision.

They just need to have an ability to start Legion from within EvE and and ability to log in EvE characters to Legion (presumably in a Dust-like suit so it wouldn't need to reneder your face and body but it would keep your name and corp and such).

And then they can totally say add a new "ground combat" exploration signature, that you could scan in EvE, and then when you get to it you press a button, you log off from EvE and strat in Legion, do the mission and when it ends you get back to EvE.

That's pretty much Avatar gameplay as in the last prototype, just with a long ass loading screen. As long as the integration to EvE is solid anything is doable.

If Legion is properly done, it will be a addition to the EvE Online universe sandbox. This can bring "WiS" for you guys :)

I have a suspicion that "CCP Presents" may have a demo where a Valkyrie pilot, Legion merc, and a Capsuleer walk into a bar.

The Valkyrie will sit in a chair looking around saying "OMG IT"S LIKE I'M ACTUALLY THERE"
The Legion merc will bunny hop about the place shooting stuff.
The Capsuleer will wet their pants and collapse into hysterics screaming "OMG WiS. DESTROYER OF WORLDS"

Few new clothes from art panel will be making it into the game, cool. Not a big thing like you would want but still nice.

Custom ship skins, character creator style "repaint". Bring it!

I'm always for new clothes, I change my wardrobe pretty frequently, I'd like to be able to keep the same character portrait though regardless of clothing as it's sort of like an Eve ID badge. As capsuleers we have an image that we project to the rest of the population to facilitate communication whilst we're floating in the goo, so my character portrait shouldn't make much difference to my actual appearance when in the cq etc.

I completely agree that you should not be required to change your avatar every time you change your appearance.

Well, CCP Manifest did say "**** the door, open the gate" so... take that how you will. Pretty much only thing that has been said regarding it for a long time.

The Capsuleer will realize they're wasting their time and go back to their ship.

Yeah... if you actually think that that will ever happen, I've got a bridge to sell you in the Nevada desert. I don't buy into that. Shiny trailer... not actually going to happen. CCP will see something shiny and wander off as they usually do.

It works for me, I'm happy with the whole Legion thing, someday it'l lead to WIS, it's inevitable.
