I know I'm just absolutely setting myself up for disappointment, but I have a dream. A dream that next year at fanfest, someone somewhere on some stage will finish up their presentation, walk off on stage, walk back on, and say "one more thing."

Then, at that glorious moment, the lights will dim, a video will start, and we'll see an actual working WiS demo. Then at the end f the video, the screen will go black and all of a sudden we'll see "COMING 2013" on screen in ridiculously huge font.

Again, I'm well aware this would never happen, but by creating this alternate reality inside my head, I'm able to cope with day to day life as it is now knowing WiS may not arrive for years...

#eternallydisappointed


You and I are in the same boat. Sad

WiS is a record, is the function that does not exist. We can laugh at FW or bounty hunting, they had something that did not work but at least they had something ... WiS us we have nothing, zero, an avatar in a cell that does nothing, does not talk to anyone, just walks and walks and walks around.

And when they talk about using avatars, then it is useless, because are wearing armor and not see them face. It will be a game of avatars without avatars, is to crack with laughter. Lol

I am not happy. And the forecast is that I will continue not to be happy with WiS for years. But be cool you were right and we have reason to Fanfest 2013 to thank CCP for something of WiS. Sad

Seems to me the hold up is mainly dust514. Once that is released resources become avaiable and wis might be coming for full. I hope. I really do.

They can safely give all of us a Key Pass BPO/BPC, because it needs a Villard Wheel to build a Key Pass with it.

On the other hand, there is already a market entry for 'Key Pass to Open the Door' In Special Edition Assets > Special Edition Commodities.
So the 'Maybe' might not be for the blueprint, but for the actual key....Shocked

Here I used to have a sig of our old Camper in space. Now it is disregarded as being the wrong format. Looking out the window I see one thing: Nothing wrong with the format of our Camper! Silly CCP......

I think I just found the niche for WiS.

We need Walking in Ships, not stations...

I became so used to those mindnumbing 20-jump travels that I stoped questioning them.

But just imagine...20 jumps and CCP gives you something meaningful to do on board of your ships while you travel....

Something...fun.

Something... interesting.

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.

They could always seed Villard wheels somewhere. Say new rogue drone drops. Or on the day the gift is given also do a update that changes the bill of materials.

Maybe you missed the part of being a capsuleer? Flying ships inside a hydrostatic capsule?

This game is not star trek, you don't walk inside the ship.

Going to the engine room to whack on the warp drive housing to make it go faster, having a quickie with Kaylee since starship engines turn her on ... oh wait wrong universe -.-

[quote=CCP RedDawn

Thirdly, Team Avatar wished to publish a dev blog that showed the prototype that we worked on so that players who couldn't attend Fanfest got a chance to see it as well. This blog was delayed due to the team being re-focused and what eventually came out was a message from Unifex instead.
It would be nice to still publish this at some point.



All the very best.[/quote]

So ,when ?
after Fanfest or before?

Where we stand right now is that we have a successful idea for WiS, a detailed pre-production plan and the right people to implement it properly into EvE.
As I mentioned earlier, WiS is "shelved", not, and I re-iterate, not, completely and utterly abandoned to a dark depth that only Cthulhu could descend to.


It was being worked on in 2008 when I started. 4 years with zero playable content is an utter failure, and categorizing it as anything else is either spin or rationalization.

I genuinely appreciate the work that you and others have done on it, but the fact remains; nearly half a decade of development and nothing (playable) to show for it.

are serious business sir.
