EVE General Discussion

This is true. It's pretty pathetic. I mean, I don't have a problem with others not liking roleplayers, but to have an attitude that your way is the only way the game is meant to be played? On a damned sandbox game?


No one is answering that question because it's a dumb misrepresentation. Pro-WiS players don't talk about wanting dance emotes and "space pants", we talk about exploration, socialization, and meaningful representation of our characters. Not sure I'd even want dance emotes to exist in the game.

And almost all of us agree that the ideal situation would be the ability to do more cool sci-fi movie stuff like chilling in a Star Wars-ey cantina or meeting in secret in some remote derelict space station to organize a back-alley deal.

The problem here is that you are pretentious and think that only your vision of EVE can possibly be right. You would probably **** yourself in rage if I told you that all I do in the game is sit around my captain's quarters and play dress up, just because you think that no one else can be happy in a way that's different than the way you achieve happiness. (Note: I dont' actually do that, just using that as an example)

Having a human shaped avatar isn't more sci-fi. Having the ability to control a human shaped avatar and do other cool sci-fi stuff is more sci fi than a game that only has spaceships. If we are going to try and objectively measure what makes a game the "ultimate sci-fi game", having more sci-fi features definitely makes a game better on that scale than one that has fewer sci-fi features.

And if you aren't saying how EVE should be played, if we had a hypothetical model of development where FiS progresses precisely as it would without any WiS content, but the WiS content is still added, would you be opposed to that?

And how do you justify the assertion that only a tiny percentage of people want WiS content?

Quotemining? That's how you get your jollies? Like a damn child. Can't argue the point so you change the thing you are responding to.

Not even sure why you are in this discussion if you aren't trying to convince us of anything.

You don't know what "hypothetical" means, do you?



You think that it's a measure of how many people want a feature to look at how many people quit if that feature is put on the backburner? You seem to think the attitude of everyone else is that if they don't get exactly what they want, they just quit the game. Or maybe we are more mature than that?

Also, setting aside the fact that "forum opinion" doesn't necessarily reflect "player opinion", how about you actually go through that thread and compare the number of unique pro-WiS posters to the number of anti-WiS posters.

Harlot wants EVE to be "PIXAR's "Spaceships".

The Cars universe thousands of years in the future.

She is not wrong about the importance of the FiS component. You have said it, I have said it and a number of those that desire WiS have said it as well.

FiS is more important than WiS in terms of EVE. Nothing should happen to WiS that will compromise FiS. But, there is scope to develop WiS.

Better to talk about it and make sure it delivers meaningful content when they get around to doing it than getting rubbish because we stayed silent.

Not all of you believe this. In the other big WiS thread Issler Dainze is actively insulting developers who are fixing Eve but not working on WiS.

There are unreasonable people across all aspects of the game. Hence, I said "a number of those that desire WiS have said it as well"

So, WiS begins work, lots of people leave.

WiS stops work, not many people leave.

And that means that everyone hates WiS, not that everyone hates FiS being ignored?





Not surprised you don't get it, trolls don't get real people humor.


See, in the Cars universe, planes, trains, and automobiles pilot themselves. You don't see drivers, they aren't really needed.

You seem to want EVE to stay as a game where ships are basically autonomous, where the lore and a little portrait in the corner suggest that a person is there, but the person doesn't matter at all. In fact, you could remove the portrait and just be playing a game in a universe that has Autonomous ships and nothing else. Like the Cars universe thousands of years in the future.

Excuse me, sir.

Did people leave because they didn't like WiS, or did they leave because they felt FiS was suffering?

I'm so ready to just block your posts. You don't care about convincing anyone, you care about making yourself feel superior to others.

I started playing for the ruthless pvp options available

I was an oldschool MUD fan (teleporting noobs directly to me and killing them ftw)
I played tons of Neverwinter Nights in a PVP server called Neversummer. I used to hunt people in the towns and then everyone would form up hunting parties to kill me \o/

Eve is one of the few games that really let you have fun, instead of just let you shoot NPC's
