EVE General Discussion

I found some links on WiS that might be relevant.

Heres a good one.

This one too.

Good info here.

South Park talked about WiS.

Might be helpful.

I like this one.

So,

I'm new.

Imagine for a second that I advocated changes to flying in spce, shooting spacey type things.

-> And someone checked my killboard.

Now, imagine If I wanted WiS to be implemented fully within EVE.

With provision for 'common area', time limitation (make those locator agents work for you) like 1hr per day with 'let me know when s/he leaves his/her quarters' requests. War Dec active members of enemy corps can fight each other in station. You can overspend your time in station, lose your clone and it's implants and wake up at your med clone facility and need to fly back for your ship.

If I said all this as a character that had spent many hours docked in a station this would be legitimate

If I was saying "CCP throw all your money at PvP, don't worry my friends know my main has 99% kb efficiency on it's own sheet" from this sheet, would it not identify the attempt to derail a thread / troll the now conformist OP?

I think for CCP to consider reasons for and against WiS they should consider the playerbase, absolutely. That same 'winning' playerbase is still sat with an idea of a dwindling population, despite having their choice selected as corporate output from the hosting company CCP hf.

Tweetfleet Slack - 1225 Members - 421 in Lore channel.

This tells you that more than a third of all players in the same chat client as CCP Devs want LORE.

This forum explains that it's not worth the effort.

In more advocation for WiS the number of 'loose' games out there (mainly having trouble solving avatar jumps) with healthy player bases is very large. There are many successful clones of the concept 'players log in, walk around, and interact' most of them have more PvE servers than PvP servers.

Yes this kinda points to last bastion of all things pvp and holy. You'd be somewhat right, were it not for the fact that EVE is the number one Science Fiction based Game on the market.



It's in a very good position in respect of ingame fighting, Valkyrie looks good at it's initial Alpha, Dust yeye sure same time as PlanetSide2 and on PSN as well, just as PS offered PS4 instead of PS3 last year and Dust is locked to PS3, we get that.

Finishing WiS / EVA Relic site escalation / Dust-to-EVE avatar interaction would bring CCP hf. closer to that 'commonly idolised utopian but undeliverable vision' that would also be needed for Legion. Considering the income stream for WoD was not WoD pre-order, you can safely work from the footing that the money was there, and by attempting to branch out into vampire territory the reputed brand did not penetrate the market sufficiently to justify further expenditure.

EVE would have riots where people quit if the same budget was spent on WiS, yet they say 'not a lot' in respect of WoD here.

Thank you tippia. At least I have a "no" now.

Ccp should make leaving the CQ a dangerous thing if it were to ever happen, and not make every station walkable. More along the lines of only corporate headquarters placed in space can be walked around in.

Looks at recent updates, looks at OP post, looks at recent updates again, shakes head and leaves...

Removed a hilariously inappropriate link.

OP, i see your points and where you're going, but eve is a game about internet spaceships. i have no great desire to walk around in a station and "interact" with other players.

eve is a fantastic game as is and i don't feel it's needed.

having said that, i have to admit that some of your descriptions of what you'd like to see implemented are enticing, but a few of them would require an insane amount of code and artwork to apply seamlessly, and i'm left wondering how much lag it would consistently introduce to each node?

No lag, its completely separated from the nodes, all you get is chat and who is inside station, actione is just on the other node in EVE. Its how I understand it from dev explanations, but maybe my memory is fading.

About costs, you are right, they are putting money in Valkyrie and probably other projects in VR, or even DUST on PC (very silently).

Point missed.
I am not saying, they should never bring out WiS.
I am saying that they would get it wrong if they tried right now.

Don't bring X:Afterbirth into this. There was a reason everyone downloaded the "never enter stations again" mod. The ONLY thing it got right... holographic table dancers.

I would have loved Walk in Station.
But CCP is not competent.
Maybe will i find it in another game.
