Well, we all totally know it's the Gallente Docking Hallway - all the Gallente pilots want to get out of their pods and strut down to their CQ with simulated synchronized photo flashes.

Reallly though, you can see the CQ stairs hrough the door, and you can see the railing of the docking area.

So, do Gallente Pilots get a /strut for when they walk down that hall?

Most of us chew with our mouths open. You don't want that streaming video, trust me.......

Dude, I'm sorry, but the dev/GM responses in this game are not cool.

It's not funny.

Your key, PAYING, customers are unhappy.

They have been extremely clear about what they want:

1) Improved spaceships
2) Cool, sci-fi, spaces for interaction on spacestations

Your company has been doing a lot of unrelated, random crap instead.

Not great, if you like your job......

I agree. CCP manifest responses was unkind.

For a better look at what this is about: http://emergentbehavior.tumblr.com/

For those who think this is an in game feature or has anything to do with EVE game development; this was made for the BOFFO Designing Fashion pop-up store in New York city. It simply uses our technology. Our engine was used to digitize a real life fashion model (yes, including the tattoos) and display designs made by Nicola Formichetti.

So just confirming, no CCP manpower was used to develop any of this?

OR

Did CCP waste time building that virtual catwalk that could have been our cyno effect, or another ship skin?

+1 This amount of time would have developed a new cyno effect. It seems like CCP just doesn't care about making stuff for FIS.

"Dude" That's a strong start for any statement you want them to pay attention to... Roll

As opposed to their non-key, paying customers? Is there a group of paying customers that is less important? Or do you mean, "key" as in you specifically?

You may want this, but the majority of Eve (at least if you believe the CSM) does not, in fact, want what you just listed.

Is there any wonder why CCP ignores these forums?

.

See nothing wrong with Manifest's replies.
Light-hearted comments are always nice especially from developers.
Gives them more of a human quality rather then the cold-hearted devs that you see on so many other forums that seems to treat their players with contempt and merely view them as walking wallets.
We are of course walking wallets but still, nice to see developers treat their customers with more warmth.

I get it now. Didn't understand before but I do now. CCP has perhaps accidentally broken into an industry that has been waiting for something like their new engine to exist. The amount of people and money involved will make Eve look like peanuts.

I also believe if the player base continues to act like spoiled children that break things when they don't get their way, then I wouldn't blame them one bit if they shut down Eve when this takes off. The money they make from Eve compared to this new thing will be trivial and very easy to write off.

You know, if I was running this WiS thing at CCP, and wanted to give the people designing the clothes a big break - or perhaps free up designers for the much touted FiS, I would let freelance fashionistas do what Microsoft does for XNA games - let them get an account for cheap through which they can design and upload clothes, and get back some $$ be it game money or some real money, whatever the case.

Then you would actually have a flood of designs that people might want - but have enough variety to choose from overall - the designs don't suck up CCP resources, and fashion designers get a chance to try their skills. Let's not forget that the Carbon engine is almost good enough to be a fashion plate system.

(Yeah I had friends who went to fashion school - none of them were gay, BTW, but I know a girl in New York who, if given a chance to design stuff for Eve Online, would make stuff that people would really want).

Just an idea. Whatever.

It's no surprise that people nitpick at CCP's use of resources, yet very few people nitpick at how Google/Microsoft/Apple uses their resources.

CCP Games is a business people. I don't care that you don't agree with me on this because that's the truth... period. And on top of that, we as consumers have little or no say on how a company should use its resources. Sure, they depend on our money to support those resources; but as the vast global market has shown, consumers will always cough up the dough one way or the other. It's like the Apple Fanatics that camped in front of the stores for the iPad 2 and are willing to spend $500-$700 bucks for something that is just (slightly) thinner and lighter than the first iPad which got a price reduction of $100 just a week before the iPad 2's release. The same can be said for the Star Wars fans who camped out in front of the theaters those years ago (there was even a Star Wars-Themed wedding - give me a break).

My point, Eve Online has its fans that will continuously feed money to CCP even after the fact that company is using those resources for other projects. Ok, I may be one of those fans, but at the very least I'm not fanatical enough to put together an Eve-Online-Themed wedding.

Google, Microsoft, and Apple all provide products that people like, and they have competitors so they can't just spend all their money on stupid crap and get away with it. There is, unfortunately, no other MMO out there remotely like EVE (not even Perpetuum) so CCP has a free license to be idiots if they want to. At least until the money runs out, which it very well may given the direction things are going.

Eve is doing fine, for precisely the reason you just mentioned: No one else can do it. People have tried to tackle the space market, and failed miserably. Until someone comes along who can even come close to delivering on the level Eve has, they can experiment and toy with ideas all they want.

Eve's not going anywhere for a long, long time and I'm ok with them working on other projects. Trying new things is how you expand you knowledge base. Things learned here will be used in WoD and Dust. Things learned in WoD and Dust will be applied here.
