EVE General Discussion

Over extending with too many other resources in unlaunched cash sink games is what cost them 20% of their employees, not ambulation no matter how many times you claim it was ambulation.

And I bet I've been playing Eve longer than you so yes, I know eve wasn't launched yesterday. You know once there were huge companies making things like ice boxes and buggy whips, not so many no, maybe evolving and changing is a GOOD thing.

Lol jk no one wanted Incarna.

No one that matters, that is.

No seriously, all you guys who claim to need WiS, wtf do you do when playing Eve? Do laps of the captains quarters?

I think what Karkur was referring to...(I could be wrong, it's all a little confusing) is the people who refuse to accept WiS at all and think everybody needs to work on FiS and only FiS.

I think people like that are self centered and ignorant.

Is there anybody that still hasn't placed Taiwanistan on ignore? I kinda feel like he might just be talking to himself in this thread...

I think we all need to just chill out a bit on the WiS topic. I am sure Team Avatar is reading our ideas and taking what they can to see what can be done with it. We will likely hear more information at Fanfest which is less than a month away.

Keep the ideas going in this thread. Ignore the trolls. Let them say what they want but lets not feed them. You aren't going to change thier minds and they wont change yours. Just move on.

Personally I cannot wait to see what Team Avatar comes up with. I would also like to reinforce that shooting people in the face while in station would be awesome! Look at how fun Mass Effect 3 is. Do that in EvE. Aw heck...

This goes out to Team Avatar and the rest of CCP. You put in a 3rd person shooter aspect to EvE like ME3 while in station and I guarantee you that not only will EvE kick even more ass than it does right now but you will draw in more subscribers. People like doing MMO stuff on the ground and even more so with a gun in hand and a face to shoot for both PvE and PvP. You want the ultimate space sim? That will be one HUGE step towards that end.

lol I blocked him weeks ago

I wonder if this thread will reach 200 pages...


Edit: PS. I'm willing to talk to Team Avatar on the behalf of the pro WIS community at fan fest. All i need is a donation of one plane ticket and one fan fest ticket... Contact me in game to discuss.

tell me about it:

Go ahead and hate me, troll me in game, be a total a-hole all you want. I have come to expect it from some Eve players. While I agree that some in game flying in space aspects need to be worked out first, I am in full support of WIS and am excited for it to be included in the game. I think the Avatar team has come up with one of the most realistic character creators I have seen in an MMO and it would be a waste to let it just die. As a RL licensed Medic I was shocked at how atomically correct every aspect of the Avatar looked.

A lot of games get the arms wrong, making them too short and even though it looks a little funny from a third person prospective, they are 100% natural and true to real life. In fact, minus being able to choose your high character creation is almost perfect. I am sure if they wanted they could sell the rights to the character creator they have made, its that perfect. Having played, alpha/beta tested, or trial accounted an excessive amount of MMO's, I have yet to see one that has a true-to-life Avatar creation system as accurate as CCP has come up with in WIS. Even Second Life doesn't come close and won't until mesh becomes mainstream. Like it or hate it, you should at least respect what the CCP programmers have done with the character creator. From a programming prospective its very impressive and goes to show the Avatar team is very talented. I am not jerking anyone off with that statement either; just stating a fact.

There is a core Eve player basis that can't seem to accept or get through their thick skull there is (probably a majority too) amount of people who play this game that are not Griefer/PVP/0.0 players and enjoy other aspects of the game. Have you tried scanning for anomalies? The scanning system and hidden locations to explore is like no other aspect you can find in any MMO or even standalone game. Planetary interaction is complex and a lot of fun for those of us who also enjoy empire building in games like the "Total War" series.

I signed up for a trial account and a few days later 30 days paid. I decided that I would give Eve 30 days and then decide if it was worth playing. After day three I was about to walk away due to the successive amount of co.ksucker griefers that were trolling around in space. The game is not complicated to learn, especially with the enhanced new player experience, but I can see how dealing with a minority (you may be always in the spotlight and very vocal, but you ARE the minority) of a-holes in the game will turn would-be paying customers off to the game. In my case I ignored them and explored other aspects like PI, Exploration through scanning, etc and found a gem under all the rough. I just signed up for six months.

I hope WIS work continues and is released sooner then later. Even if we get some basic functionality for the time being, like plastic surgery (edit avatar), inviting people into our captains quarters, and a public space to sit down and just b.llshit with people in Avatar form rather then over a chat window. I think that's a good start that they can build on later. Eventually it would be cool to play a game of billiards and darts that both use the in game physics and are realistic. Gambling would be a lot of fun too with blackjack, poker, and slots. I would love to see player made stations set up as casino's.

What you (minority) of griefers don't realize is there is so much more to Eve already in the game thet you seem to refuse to explore, accept, or experience. That's your choice but don't for a second pretend other people who play don't want to see content other then PVP expanded upon in the game. Eve is not just a PVP game, its a sandbox experience. I don't care how long you have been playing and how new I am, get that into your fking heads. A SANDBOX GAME. PVP is just an intricate part of that SANDBOX. I have more then one person tell me to go play XYZ game if I don't understand how Eve works, well this time its right back at you; Go play "Guild Wars" that's 100% PVP (and nothing more) because there is plenty of Non-PVP content in Eve that people can, will, and do enjoy.

Supporters of ambulation I need your support!

I appear to be the only CSM 7 candidate that will make more focus on ambulation a topic in the CSM 7 if elected.

A recent podcast blogger has been trying to put together a debate on ambulation and no CSM 6 member will even agree to participate! If CSM 7 is CSM with a new hat then they will be happy to bolt that door closed forever!

I have tried to keep politics out of this thread, but ambulation supports I need your votes! If you support my efforts to keep ambulation alive then please spread the word. Get out and vote so someday soon we can get out that door!

The only pro ambulation CSM 7 candidate

The only FPS ill ever accept on stations is from dust 514 taking over outposts.

FPS is below capsuleers.

When it comes to dust players wanting to try out EVE, starting them out in an environment with which they are already familiar (ie an avatar) will help them make that transition.

Incarna will be a link between the two games,

Plus I want to be able to shoot mercs personally if they don't deliver on my contracts.
