EVE General Discussion

Yeah, this is pretty much BS. I didn't cancel my account over "microtransactions", I canceled my account over the direction the game was going. It was broken buggy, and nothing was being done but to add barbie dolls for dress up parties that I could already do in other games. Over the years, I had had a number of trial accounts, and kept passing on a sub due to EVE being so friggen buggy. When SWG released NGE and I found myself without an internet spaceship game, I eventually just took it in the rear with all the bugs and got a sub with EVE as there were no real alternatives out there for anything as I was looking for.

When they introduced the Barbie dolls here, and I saw that they had pretty much no intention of ever fixing this game, I canceled with no real plans to ever return. Think it was three or four months later, caught up with EVE Evolved, Brendan Drain's articles at Massively, read that CCP gave in and changed direction to actually fixing this game. ah so re-subbed. And as far as I'm concerned, EVE has become 300% better the past couple of years than it ever was since I opened my first trial some 7 or 8 years ago.

Seriously, You WiSies, I play SL sometimes, I like to model and animate so it's a must for me, as a builder anyway. You would be better off getting your barbie doll fix over there, buying crap from me and dancing in one of many furry clubs they have there. Let CCP just focus on spaceships here, not that they are paying any attention to WiSy threads anyway

The most recent login survey was full of leading questions and an outright attempt at manipulation, because they'd decided at least a year ago that industry should involve teamwork when we all know that industrialists tend to be solitary people. CCP Seagull has an agenda of forcing cooperative game play onto the playerbase, we all know how that worked out with exploration though with loot spill mechanics and easy mode scanning, plus it also wrecked the balance of power in wormholes via the law of unintended consequences.

My point is that as any politician will tell you, you use polls to change public opinion, not to gain feedback.

New outfits previewed at Fanfest look good.

Still no skirts/short dresses though from what we saw.

New cybernetics look great too. I always thought the white ones looked kinda meh, but these dark ones could be enough to make me cut arm off (unlikely, but yeah).

i still see no microtransactions in the game. and no 'pay to win'. and i have never seen it here.

So where did you find the things you were rioted?

How so?

Jealous of my legs huh?

Because people are complaining about space Barbie and then you've posted that the new outfits are nice, but you want a shorter skirt and that the cybernetic arm is in the wrong colour... sigh. Way to play to a stereotype.

Removed some off topic posts.

For WiS to work properly, and for it to be 'interesting' and 'big' enough to be a major part of the EVE univers you are essentially asking CCP to develop another game.

- It would need to run on a different engine

- It has completely different movement / controls / graphics / content that EVE already has.

CCP have shown us that they cant build this (WoD)

Captains Quarters is not even close to starting the process, its just one avatar walking around a single graphical box. Even that melted some peoples graphic cards.

Also you are asking them to develop this new game and add it to EVE, not sell it as a new game. Where are they going to make all their money on it. Microtransactions? $1000 Japanese Boutique Jeans?



Would I like so see a fully realized WiS experience in EVE --- Yes i guess so.

Do I think it would bring enough extra people to EVE to make is financially viable to CCP --- probably not.

That's because the fall out from the riots made it impossible to add pay to win stuff to eve. I haven't checked your history but maybe you weren't here when everything kicked off, if that's the case it's worth reading up on the greed is good memo leak and the resulting fallout.

Hi Jint Hikaru, some good points there. Personally I do not seek a more controllable avatar than the CQ one. The current mechanics are good enough for me. I would be happy to pay a subscription add-on or increment for having access to it, however please tell me why are we pay the subscription if new stuff is not developed. Either way, no issue here. I would prefer to be integrated, because otherwise from a customer / user experience perspective it's going to have a very bad impact.
