We have heard the haters, ad nauseam. Now I would like to hear from the people looking forward to Incarna and walking in stations. You must be out there, looking forward to the next piece of clothes that is released by CCP, and maybe you're even planning on your on line of ingame clothes? But you're probably hiding. In the dark. Under a rock. Dressed up as a French Police officer called René. To not be ridiculousised and burnt on a stake.

That's why I and the Eve Tribune gives you the opportunity to to come and write for us and give us your point of the view. Anonymously, if you want. Loud and proud too. We bring the fire retardant suit and will even pay you ISK for your trouble.

I can't wait for WiS! Can I have my iskies now?

Just kidding. I like WiS, and really want to try it. Smuggling also sounds very promising. But, I can't say that I will spend any money/isk for clothing - does not seems right, yet.

Incarna is already here. It was released several months ago.

You can walk and walk and walk in stations 23/7.

Your a bit too early for one of these articles as it will hold no information, just guesses and hopes of things to come.
And considering you already started with the scathing remarks... well

I am sure you will get somebody to write something for you.
But I have no hope for a decent article coming out of it.

I was when they released the Ambulation demo in 08. Now not so much. Its odd how you can progress backwards over the course of 3 years and only thing to show for it is a poorly optimized single room.

I'm looking forward to the next issue of EvE Tribune more than I am Incarna. I hope it will be a good addition to the game but so far the cost is far too high.

So there can be no articles before all facts are unveiled? I think you're wrong there. As much as... the non positive? has voiced their fear about "Barbies in space" I think the positive should have the rights to express their opinion. And since the non positive is the vocal majority on this forum I think we may need to move that somewhere else.


Plus, I would actually want to read about it myself. Even though I find it kind of silly to pay real money for virtual goods.

And you know as well as me, if CCP released these glasses they would become an instant hit. Even with The Mittani.

Well that is the interesting part.
The original idea was to have players make items and sell them for ISK.

Now that the NEX store is out.
If Incarna goods are entirely based on the Aurum.
Considering the exchange rates, well DOA comes to mind.

So yes it is too early for one of these articles as until CCP gives us some idea of what is coming.
And the mechanics behind it, no plans can be made.

In a month when more information comes out.
Well then maybe this article would be appropriate.
However I doubt we will see player made goods in the next expansion.

However nothing would make me happier then to be proved wrong, but I doubt it.

Now with all the above being said.

Once there are more details out.
A perspective store owner would have an excellent opportunity in providing you the article you wish.

There they could talk about there ideas and there realistic goals and even there planned location.
EVE is a big place.

Especially if you offered them a follow up story after they opened up for business.

Nothing like a little free advertisement.

Actually, I have some hope that Incarna (the real Incarna) will be extremely awesome.
CCP failed big times with the release of the totally boring and useless CQ.
And they experienced an amount of rage and protest from their playerbase that they would have never expected. They lost many subscriptions and finally gave in to make a partial roll back (like ship spinning returning etc.).
I think they have realized that Eve online is still their most important project, and without it CCP will go to bust.
But the devs have invested so much time into Incarna already, just giving it all up is not an option (at least, not yet).
I believe they only have one option here: Triple their efforts and make it the most awesome expansion ever. Should the players really like what they see, the guys behind Incarna can say "See? I knew it all along..." Lol
But should any further WiS expansion be as terrible as the last one and more players quit, CCP might just fire a few people who are unlucky enough to be given the responsibility.
So, I think the next Incarna update has to be great, because there are people fearing for their jobs...

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

What we have today is the basics for something that can grow into something much bigger. But what we mostly see of the forum is cheap use of catch phrases like "18 months", "$6000 dollar pants" and the ever so popular "Barbies in space": What we would like to show is that there are other opinions out there and phrases like "ships in space" are only half right. Just see how much time people (apparently) spend spinning their ships in stations. Or for that matter, how much time some people spend on politics.

As well as there's room and time to talk about improvements to super capitals, sovereignty, low sec and others there's also time to talk about what people would like to see in future instances of Incarna. Without being immediately shot down with the latest catchphrase of "door simulation".

What I want from incarna?

I want to be able to assault a POS/SOV structure/Outpost in a FPS fassion instead of the current sit hours on end shooting and for what?.

I want to be able to shoot you in the face, stab you in the heart and then **** on your corpse... but I do not want walking for the sake of walking. That part will keep me interrested for about 2 minutes. I dont care a fig if you come with standard cloths or the latest Monocle 2020... unless I can shoot you in that said monocle to destroy it....

Sorry if you did not get the Incarna praise you wanted, but I have been sceptical to Incarna since I first heard of it.

If station spinning comes back, I don't really care what they do with Incarna.


Also Op: Incarna only exists because it is a logical testing ground for world of Darkness. One wonders what will happen to our "Incarna" after WOD actually comes out and they can test there stuff there instead of here.

Incarna is not some as yet unseen virtual reality. Its a computer avatar walking in a station.

People need to understand that.

If people want to continue to talk in vague terms about how incarna has "so much potential," thats fine I can't stop them. But its getting old.

Until somone can at least describe something that would be fun to do with incarna it's all smoke and mirrors.

The only actual concrete description I have heard so far is we can be virtual store clerks.

I am looking forward to the potential of what Incarna can bring to the Sci-fi game that is EVE.

From what I've heard and are looking most forward to is the establishment feature. You can have your own bar. Fit with gambling, drinking and even have the shady dude in the corner selling contraband. Or a shop where you can sell stuff, as a front for your blackmarked scheme that you have going on in the background (or forground). Pirate

I truly want them to do this right, since this is something that the game has been lacking. So I have no problem waiting a bit more for this either. As I've said in another post.

Good things come to those that wait.

The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't.

I personally don't think faction warfare or ship spinning is fun, does it make it less important? What people need to realise is that there's lots of different aspects of Eve. Some like faction warfare, some like PVE. Some enjoy politics in huge alliances, and some enjoy marketing deals in Jita. It's a sandbox and there's no right or wrong way play it.

What I'm looking for is those who think walking in stations, bars and whatever may come will be fun. I want to hear about their hopes and expectations because I don't think it's being voiced enough.
