I want to get off my ship - should I just quit now?

It has been a long time since incarna was released. In that time Dust has been developed and the core Eve game has been improved upon slightly. And I mean slightly, we are not talking anything that has really added new content or changed the game in any major way, there have just been a series of nice new tweaks like better looking missiles, more intuitive inventory systems.

I was hoping that there would be some major changes in game by now. I still can not walk in a station. I can not fly my ship, I can not get off my ship and explore that deserted space station in my mission.

So what I want to know is should I just give up hope that these things will ever happen? Have the narrow minded complainers saying Eve is and should only ever be about point and click spaceship based interaction won the day forever? Has the original dream of Eve been sided off and hived off into a series of related but separate products like Dust?

Will we ever see the dream of flying your ship into dock then walking out to meet a friend for a beer and card game before getting involved in a shoot out in a lawless area of the station?

Please tell me now so I can put my energies into a game that still aspires to doing these things and does not just follow the narrow minded veiws of a few vocal people.

In short - Where is my walking in stations god damn it!

Yes. Don't waste your money sticking around for something that might or might not happen. If you don't like EVE as it is now, go play another game you like, and come back if/when things change.

You wouldnt exactly walk out to meet your friends...youd be almost birthed from your pod, all covered in what id expect to be mostly your own urine, not to mention stark naked. Your probably want to take a shower first and get dressed, unless youre into the whole strutting around naked covered in your own filth thing.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Lol, I just saw the Incarna thread below. Well it looks like I am not alone in my thinking!

My post is more of a question to the devs though so please leave it open incase they read it and answer

Hang tough.

Hearing rumours from the "the narrow minded few vocal people" that CCP is turning Eve into Hello Kitty so there will nothing for the "the narrow minded few vocal people" to be here to ***** about.

Patience is needed. Won't be long now. All the whingy whiney will be over soon. They all ragequit and we will all get to enjoy the vision. We just need more people prepared to ask for the enjoyment of all instead of seeking changes to suit their own enjoyment.

And sorry, can't give you a date, because I'm not sure how long the iDemand v2.0 generation will last.

We wont actually see a (possible) future timeline tell after April next year. There are just too many important things lined up for the foreseeable future.

I don't think any of that is on the table for any time soon, if at all. The character creator and our CQ's was just a test of their CARBON concept and was more to do with their other MMO World of Darkness than any real content for Eve.

Maybe after Dust is done CCP will send us more scraps that are avatar focused from their WoD project. It maybe on the back burner but it's still cooking back there in the back. And it just might see the light of day. I just hope it doesn't sparkle if it does. *smirks*

Hmmm... I'll see your recent forum thread and raise you a DevBlog from 2006 that says pretty much the same thing.

The moral of the story is don't hold your breath on features CCP promises. You will surely suffocate. We waited six years to get a room and now they are talking like they're starting over.

EvE is what it is. I'm pretty sure even the Devs don't know when or if avatar play is actually ever going to happen.

Sorry to be a debbie downer but that's the truth.

Another vid for you, indicating where CCP want to go. I have no idea how far out we are talking though.

Yeah probably not going to happen anytime in the foreseeable future. What ur looking for is that Star Trek game that failed a couple years back.

Pay for the game that is, not the game you want. That's what Kickstarter is for.

Playing EvE Online & wishing is was another game.
Yes you should quit if the game as it stands is not to your liking.
CCP should never have promised WiS, it's not what EvE is about & attracted too many people looking for a game that isn't EvE.
