oh god the ambulation trailers, have you ever seen a trailer thought yeah it looks good, saw the movie then it sucked balls?
stop being so gullible and basing faith on trailers

TA on wis: "when we have a feature that is its own functional ecosystem of gameplay then hooks into the greater ecosystem of EVE as a whole, and it provides good replayability."

never saw an ambulation trailer... I saw an ambulation "gameplay" from fun-fest i suppose.. and it looks good, and actually would work on most of the computers which has been built several years ago.

The footage shown in that presentation was really great and it looked like a lot of the work was already done. I just hope we get something of that in the near future.
Maybe they really overshoot the mark with the new technology they tried to implement.

They have been improving significantly the last months, they had to. I hope indeed that their older work is still out there to draw from. They are concentrating on the space part (the only part?) in eve which is good. But work should continue, they have many things drawn, textured and designed. They only need to poor it into the sandbox mould.

Can you show us an diploma or some medal or other kind of prize you won ? Please ????

The fact that CCP decided to shelve Dress-Up Dolls in favor of actual Eve-related content is all the proof you need.

CCP will get around to WiS.

Incarna generated too much interest to be ignored. It's just a shame how poorly managed the whole expansion was. If they'd done this "six weeks" of work on FiS and released it with Incarna they wouldn't be in such a deep hole at the moment.

Now if CCP just would have the decency to reply
Just some info all we need
we are not demanding WIS to be on EVE tomorrow

Just tell us if CCP ever will go back to WIS
What their plans were just before quitting WIS
And what possibility's they think they have when they could continue

So CCP show some decency

Sorry to break your little dream, but as far as we know it hasn't been shelved since now. They refocused their workforce to FiS conent and moved WiS content back. That doesn't mean that it is shelved or that they will never come back to it.

From another thread:

CCP Xhagen wrote:


All the work is still there but with avatars being on the backburner for the time being and the focus being on spaceships, things in this area will happen slowly.

But it sounds to me that you guys generally like the new creator but are asking for more distinct varieties between bloodlines and perhaps special stuff for each one. I'm fairly certain that can be accomplished more easily in the new character creator than it could be in the old. In fact, if I have understood the guys working on the new creator, the old one simply could not be developed further. It was one of the oldest piece of technology in the game (since 2002 or so) and was in dire need of a revamp.

For example the option of giving your character a new haircut or dress it differently simply didn't exist in the old character creator - only a full remodeling was available (for a price). And adding that functionality would probably have taken a longer time than writing up a new one.

I'll make sure that the people that are still working on avatar get this feedback.

PS - I'm so much cooler now than I was before Roll


I bolded the interesting part. Apparently work in ongoing right now by more than one person, at least on making more character options. Its just going to be slow.

As some of us want WiS, we need to be vigilant in the right way. When CCP focused almost entirely on WiS and abandoned FiS, that was bad. But its just as bad to abandon WiS. What is needed is balanced iteration of all features.

We need to be vigilant that no feature is abandoned. Hence this thread.

Agreed.

You know, even if CCP clarify the future of Incarna by saying 'nothing new for WiS for 12 months, but will be doing this instead" at least players can then decide whether or not to keep waiting, or find something else to do.

This endless game of "wait and see" that has typified CCPs approach to WiS (and other features) is just ridiculous.

Just give us something to look forward to in regards to WiS.

WiS isn't a feature that is relevant to internet spaceships.

It's a feature relevant to eve.

Otherwise it would never have been developed.

and you are ? The one who make all the hassle to come up with consensus everyone acknowledge as truth.
Maybe its time for ancient dinosaurs to die out. And leave future for someone less holed in "what is what because that what it was."
Maybe there are people who things EVE is glorified IRC client, so ships are irrelevant.
And there are some who like the idea of EVE becoming Space Sci-fi "simulator" mainly based around ships exploding but with some blink to it.

And how did that work out for the game?
