EVE General Discussion

Are you kidding? How is the gameplay of hanging out in corporate offices any different than the game play of hanging out in your captains quarters?

You want to pay a subscription so you can stroll down a promenade??

FFS!

What is the matter with you people??

+1 for fixing existing ships (unique role per ship, even if that role is being cheap eg. slasher).

+1 WIS: this will probably get me back into the game.

I have a problem because I have no desire to pay a subscription to have my computer avatar stroll down a promenade?

Whats the point of the youtube? It confirms there isn't much to wis. Drink a beer at a bar.

Play a minigame or strategy game with another avatar? Ok big deal. I actually like chess but there are chess servers I can play on for free.

What do you mean the argument deteriorates into "space barbie"? Its not an argument so much as a statement of fact. It is space barbies. Space barbie in a bar having a drink. Space barbie hanging out in her corporate lounge socializing. Space barbie can play a game of checkers with ken. And, last but not least, Space Barbie can stroll down a promenade!!

Please tell me, if you were to make "space barbies" which of the things he mentioned wouldn't fit in?

Everything he mentioned would work well in a "space barbie" mmo.

Hopefully they will fix fw before they continue work on Space barbie. (and yes I will call it space barbie until someone tells me a feature that they are including in wis that wouldn't fit in a space barbie mmo.)

But fw needs allot of iterating. It won't just be one quick fix and be done. The same goes for null sec and low sec in general.

I'm not sure where you guy have got this stupid term "space barbies" but it makes you sound really immature and pathetic.

All the arguments against WIS equate to saying, "I have a bike so why would i want a car with 4 wheel when my bikes 2 are perfectly fine? It's only after you get the car that you can appreciate the benefits.

Sometimes there is nothing to do in eve but sit around spinning your ship and i would much rather play a strategic game or gamble with a friend in station. Instead of sitting in a station waiting for a war target to undock at a moments notice, i could track him and see when he enters the docking area or i could listen in on a conversation that my lead to interesting opportunities...

There are endless possibilities to what WIS could offer but most of all, it would bring in a fresh wave of people if done right which would bring in more money to make the whole game better.

No it's just that your ignorance annoys me. Maybe when you grow up a bit we can have an intelligent conversation...

At last, a less toll filled response

I agree, CCP should polish existing features to fix all the little things that we experience every day and say to our corpmates "it should work like this..." but the bigger gripes, like null sec population, low sec mechanics and FW for example, stem from issues with the core gameplay mechanics. Changing gameplay mechanics would be a huge task like you said and it has an even bigger chance of alienating people and causing mass unsubs.

WIS has been in developement for ages and all they are going to release is a geaphically intensive way to view an avatar wearing a $70 monocle? That is unacceptable to me and I want to see the things we were told/show.

I just don't want incarna to be added to list of content that feels half finished in this game and I can't see how I can be expected to support the game when they are this quick to go back on their promises and waste my money developing unthoughtout content.

I want local to be changed to a high tech scanning ability.

I want WiS to be thrown away... I think no good will come from being shot in stations. Besides, it lags me to no end. I can play better graphix games than this with no lag... I play Sims 3 which is more detailed and my 4 sims walking aorund and laughing together in a 3 story house doesn't cause the lag that my one pilot does by simply walking down a hallway. There's no way I'm going to feel compelled to buy a new computer for the ability to walk down a hallway.

I would like to have a large war ship be equipped with the advanced combat capabilities of a tiny frigate.

I would also like to see a super dreadnaught capable of installing more than 2 guns.

That's my wish list :)

Heart of the matter. CCP has a long way to go on restoring confidence.

Personally I think remaining silent on the future of WiS does not help, or ignoring this thread, which has been going on for well over a month.

Lately I've been thinking that the reason that CCP is silent regarding WiS is because they are trying to distance themselves from the ****-up which was Incarna.

Will players leave until WiS is actually implemented? I'm definitely going to take a break because of it. I’m just tired of CCP promising the world and then delivering nothing.

Lots of players play this game as they like where the game was heading, and wanted to be part of that journey. But now, it’s lost some of its magic.

"not a peep", as in not a single post by a dev? Is that why there's a big fat blue dev arrow pointing towards this thread?
