EVE General Discussion

Dear CCP

I wish you would do more with the Characters that we have on eve. I would love to have a much larger selection of everything to chose from. I'll write a list and why I would like more.

Tattoo's - It'd be great to have tattoo's everywhere else. and lots of more types to chose from.

Clothing - So far the most you can do is look smart, smart casual and Darth Sidius. Why isn't there more gothic clothing or more grungier types for us dirty industrialists, mechanics, pirates, nut jobs and Minmatar.

Photosnap/portrait - For the photo snaps, it'd be great if there were more poses and maybe I am sounding crazy but a part of it where we can load our other chars in and take a group pic for wallpapers. Because I really do love this game and to be able to make a cool ass wall paper with all my chars striking a pose would really make a day and many more to come.

Station Door - What's with that door? I can hear people out there but not allowed to go because apparently I cannot consume the air like normal people? I wanna get out and do something out there! Makes a change to floating around in space all the time! (Yes I have heard that people didn't like it, mainly because they have crap computers but hell, that's their problem, I pay for this game so why not spend time making it more worth while for those who do like the characters!)

Also hurry up with tiericide! And give us more ships!!!!

Yours Sincerely

A small group of people are apposed to anything that doesn't involve spaceships, or any form of real advancement in play options within EVE.

Another group quit over a newsletter they didn't fully understand that didn't actually have anything to do with WiS, and that previous small group keeps using the those people that quit as proof that no one wants stuff that has nothing to do with spaceships.

CCP overreacted, and didn't udnerstand that people were upset for different reasons, and just sort of lumped everything together; instead of recognizing that most people were simply annoyed that they spend so much time developing something that didn't actually offer anything new to do, at the expense of any real work on the spaceship part.

So instead of apologizing, and having team avatar actually continue work on something that a LOT of people actually want, they effectvely scrapped it.

Instead of team avatar continuing work on WiS, they've been required to do other things while prototyping a new gameplay mechanic. If they had spent the last year actually working on WiS, we probably would be out of our rooms today without having impacted FiS enough for people to get angry.



CCP is behaiving like they're affraid to commit to anything that isn't spaceships because the community will get into an uproar; which it wouldn't. They had nex items made and sitting around for how long before they implimented the items? They were obviously concerned that people would be upset if they put them into the game.

They even said that the prototyping that TA was working on has been put on hold.

Everytime this topic comes up, more people post in favor of it than against it. You'd think CCP would get the idea already.

After the summer of rage, I think CCP are too scared of the consequences. Personally I'd rather they worked on improving what we have, than adding new features.

I sure wish they would add a suggestion forum, you know where people could put suggestions. That would be so neat, I think I am going to go to the suggestion forum and suggest this right now!!

Pretty much all this...
TA is a very small group now, very little resources, and the art department has a backlog til the apocalypse (i think i used the term backlog correctly, agh im braindead today).

And yeah, most people freaked out over the designer jeans prices, not the WiS, and CCP for the most part is just keeping TA around to appease the people begging for WiS, without ever expecting progress to come out of it (because lets face it, it would require 2+ eyars of exclusive access to the art-teams, and we all know of several vocal minorities in eve that would raise issue with that).

Hell, i live in wormholes 10 out of 12 months of the year, but i would still love to see WiS, because if they integrated WELL ENOUGH that it was immersive (instead of making it chat-bubble lol-emote horror-time). I could honestly see low/null sec stations turning into little Mos Eisley Cantinas and Quark's bars.


As it is, i doubt well see anything in any meaningful timeframe (next 3 years). i just hope that if they DO decide to do it, they use a more polished version of Carbon, instead of bumping DOWN the graphics engine to soemthing old as dirt (for the sake of older computers). (as in, i really like my semi-realistic not-WoW-cartoon looking avatar, and i will only accept WiS if they can bump ALL WiS graphics to the somewhat HD level present in character creator, since they ARE lowered for captains quarters as it is).

Sad news, they took those people off the team.

From the second post in the Team Avatar thread



They'll come back to it Soon™ I'm sure .

Well that just says that the Avatar team is now focusing on things that they can put out for the winter expansion... like what? Maybe I'm reading it wrong but it doesn't sound like they're disbanding.

DUST will be expanding into space around the time EvE continues down the ambulation route.

Among the stars in heaven, the pod people and jarheads shall meet. So shall this be.
