Have they said how they're planning on improving EVE's core gameplay? Could you elaborate on it a little bit, because clearly you are their de facto spokesperson.

What is this "herp derp improve core gameplay" what do you mean?

Nope don,t want CS ,still like EVE,s spaceships ,but also want WIS

Come on CCP what,s the matter
Why is there no response afraid of making a large group of players angry again?
Or you just realised more people want WIS ,more then you thought,other then some Goon tells you?
Or thinking a lot of people are happy now with the little patch presumably made in 6 weeks,so you don,t have to care any more?

QFT on the CS part.

Walk in stations is a great idea....i mean like for example, you are at a station and you dont feel like doing missions or nothing in particular is going on in Eve you can walk inside stations and mingle with the fellow players. Have the players have lil action animations and such..have little mini games. it would be a diversion from the core gameplay and would make you feel more immersed in the world of eve. its not a bad idea really.

Just unlogic.

If the last game of this type I know is CS as I stoped playing them that time ... and for you CS is old -> you aren't even close to my age.

Guy, you disqualified yourselve ... typical GOON.

I really wouldn't mind some iteration on WiS. Ultimately I think the missed opportunity here comes in the form of dust.

While it is intended that dust players interact with their eve counterparts some issues really get brought out in the actual communication barrier between these two groups.

In eve there is two ways to communicate with another player. Through text, such as evemail/chat channels, and the other widely used and preferred method for actual cohesive play is through Vent/TS.

On a console the preferred way to communicate is through speech systems built into the actual game. You can of course type out mail, but typing one a controller is much akin to nailing your genitalia to a rust steel beam.

Granted eve does have a built in comm system but I've never actually heard of any one using it, and I am skeptical it actually works.

This creates a communication issue, dusties will want to talk to potential eve clients via speech where as capsuleers will want to communicate via text or a speech program that doesn't actually run on a console.

The nice thing about WiS, is if dusties had their own carbon avatar (which would help with identifying themselves beyond dude in uniform armor with a machine gun) and allowed to participate in stations with eve players, the likely hood of communication would seem to increase.

Lets say bored eve player is in Station X hes sitting in a bar playing that risk type minigame we saw at convention. He ends up in a game with a dust player, while playing he might actually be more tempted to turn on the eve-dust built in voice coms and chat a little with him. This begins to build a bond, the two occasionally when worn out from playing their respective games seek each other out and continue to build a bond.

When dust player receives a contract to clear out a planet, he recognizes the name of the target owner. Its our friendly eve player he has become friends with. Suddenly a more complicated game choice has arrived. Hes not just fighting a nameless enemy and his dust defenders but hes seeing how his actions can affect others that hes actually involved with. Do you warn your friend? Do you refuse to take part? Do you leave your merc group? Or do you take the money and stab him in the back, you are a merc after all.

If anything it would give incentive to actually using the ccp voice client and ease culture barriers between the two games.

This really is the big thing about WiS, it really isnt meant to deliver the same kind of pew pew action fun. WiS is more about the development of social interaction inside of the game. Its about being able to more easily relate and acknowledge individuals, not spaceships. Eve on its own can most definitely support the current social model via FiS, its the expansion of the Eve Universe into different games and platforms that really supports having WiS serve as a conduit between these groups. Its almost necessary to really begin to lay the foundations of an actual social network in eve between all the games.

Yeah ok we gonna make CCP do another panic move like we give all means of earning ISK to the Goons
First of all CCP needs to respond in some way ,after that we can see
but after all those happy post CCP got lately ,it seems they are gonna hang out in their favorite pubs,and think screw EVE community.
All post that aren,t happy about CCP aren,t responded or just locked with no appearend reason.
Brings back some memory and its a pity CCP lacks memory

they came out and called everything they had done so far no fun. meaning their whole project was viewed as a failure by the very people building it. hence why it got scrapped.
