EVE General Discussion

i thought it's been established that a bunch of dudes dressing up emoting each other makes dogshite for content, and just lol plain wrong.

Your absolutely right, which is why, given the nature of EvE's sandbox, we should also be able to put a bomb in our WiS disposable clones and detonate it in the middile of the group of dancing pissants.

Just because some prick will probably stand around dancing in bar all day spamming local, should not mean that WiS is called off. The potential for new gameplay elements are huge. Imagine carrying out specialised contracts, attacking staions with a suicide clone with an explosive, chemical or biological device inside them. Imagine taking out station officials in order to reduce rents on hangers. Imagine an open black market where you can buy all sorts of outlawed items. Imagine picking up specail missions from back alley agents who are unable to deal in the open.

Imagine the ganks you could pull on a room full of carebears who never undock!!!

Forum bars can be fun. I used to post in them all the time back when I was still active on the Cyberpunk 2020 forums.

But I have another question, (even though you haven't answerwd my last one yet,) and that is:

Why do we play video games instead of play-by-post forum games that could achieve the same end goal?

Imagine opening a station that is basically Independence, USA in space!

It's already here. It's called EvE reddit and Jabber.

But seriously, we play for the quality of gaming and for the immersion.

EvE is about the sandbox, not just spaceships.

It is possible to play EvE and never even once board a ship. You can still become space rich and never fire a single round or even lock a target.

WiS has so much potential for the EvE community. I want to see it in.the client, but I would understand if it became necessary to put it in a different client. If it was necessary to put it on another platform, (or mixed platforms, I refuse to buy a PS3 just for dust and I won't buy one for WiS,) then I would want some way of using my EvE character in it still. With the advent of CREST, there mist be a way of fully integrating WiS with the current EvE client.

I don't care about emotes or dancing. I love the chronicles and I love the novels. I want the level of immersion available to use to broaden and expand. I want to have a fist fight in a bar with a DUSTer, I want to broker a shady deal with a Guristas recruiter in a Caldari station to deliver a chemical weapon onto a Gallente station and frame a Caldari officer for it. I want to be able to walk into a bar, order a drink and detonate the bomb in my chest for ***** and giggles or even for a handsom payout. I want to boot up a disposable clone in a shielded space suit, walk into a derelict wreck and scavenge new parts for implants or other tech.

Please explain why this should not happen. And I will not accept that you don't want to see a bunch of idiots dancing and emoting each other in a lobby, because you would never have to see or interact with them.

That, and Team Avatar was desolved a decent time ago.

There is no avatar type development (at least that has been public knowledge) unless you consider DUST at present.

I still see no reason to not discuss the potential for WiS. It's been shelved. We know. Shelved is not the same as binned.

By the way, I noticed the two main posters against WiS have not addressed the 2.questions.I.posed earlier. I would greatly appreciate their feedback on them.

You really are hung up on emoting.

Tell you what, no emoting in WiS. Problem solved?

And please, just answer the two questions.

i just keep on seeing emoters want to emote dogshite suggestions?

Ok so WiS was supplanted by DUST. We can still do this, just make it a DUST thing.

Example: Create a new type of exploration site, "Mysterious Ancient Ruin." Can't be accessed by analyzer, hacker or salvage. Instead must be "cleaned out" by DUST troops. When you find it, a window pops up: DUST contract. Offer X amount of ISK for whatever goodies they find inside. Give it a DUST version of a DED rating. It then creates a DUST instance that DUST teams who can then consider the contract fees versus the risk.

Yes, this is adding PvE content to DUST. Which just makes it more like EvE. Live with it. It could turn into PvP if someone else scans down the same site before they've completed the mission and another DUST team, hired by someone else, also comes in looking for the loot.

Whether or not the capsuleer gets that loot is dependent on the ability of the DUST team, assuming they even take the contract. So now you've got EvE ISK flowing into DUST, DUST providing unique resources back into EvE in return, and giving old "Space Hulk" fans a reason to buy DUST.

And that's just one example.

PS: And when you do this CCP, I expect a free PLEX in my hanger as a "finders fee" for this idea. Thanks.
