EVE General Discussion

LOL you logged into Playstation Home.

Go play Second Life then, EVE is not for you.

You actually use PS Home?
Just biomass yourself....oh wait

CCP simply can't touch Incarna for Eve for a few more years. The press and player backlash from that event really hurt CCP.

I agree though, a nice station lounge with a corp meeting room and perhaps some gaming tables would be quite nice for fostering social interaction and improving the new player experience without demanding too much development effort.

Incarna doesn't need active gameplay... tying in gameplay to incarna just hurts the core game. The original idea of Incarna being a social hub is just fine, the problem was just that Incarna existed as a single-player closet..

Because of the nature of the Carbon framework, we can expect to see a similar feature some time down the line, once the Incarna name is less toxic (or maybe they'll scrap the name "Incarna" and call it something else).

I can tell, your mascara is running.

I think what got people upset about monocles wasn't so much the $70 monocle as much as the $70 every things: the entire NeX was luxury items, with the cheapest items at 1100 Aurum being equivalent to $5. The LOTRO-store fans wanted to have sparkle ponies for fifty cents each, but got stuck with ugly boots for $5. Which was all a big laugh for me because CCP never said anything about "micro transactions" and everything about "luxury item store". Then there was "Captains Minmatar shoebox" instead of "Captains Quarters" much less "walking in stations".

But that's not the topic of this thread is it?

I, too, was amused by the Event Horizon bar: you had to log into Playstation Home and play Slay a few times in order to qualify for some alpha invites (of course it was only after I logged in, downloaded Playstation Home, played Slay and submitted my application that we were told that Australians weren't invited).

Why we can't have something like this in EVE as part of WiS content is for CCP to explain if they care to do so. I expect the answer will be a combination of burnt fingers, some Incarna devs have gone, other Incarna devs are working on other projects, and the focus on pew pew spaceships means there won't be any attention paid to Incarna for some time to come, more's the pity.

The World of Darkness demo from FanFest indicates that WoD development has come along quite a way. If the non-combat portions of the WoD demo were available as the entirety of WiS content, I'm sure there would be plenty of people actually using WiS instead of permanently staring at spaceships (the demo non-combat content being an alleyway, a cafe, a balcony). Yes, I'm one of those people who wants to have my character emote to other characters in shared spaces.

I'm not talking about a nonexistant game, EVE does exist, this is about the content of that game and the content has been made, I'm mad because I'm paying to play a game and the money is going to provide PS3 users something for free that EVE Players were supposed to get.

I have to agree with this, even if this is just a playstation home area. Most of the people in the evening EST are people who don't even play DUST or EVE.

No, but then CCP never promised or demo'd EVE Players leaving their ships travelling down to planets for pitched firefight battles before Dust was released so I can't, fairly, be mad at them for that.

The Event Horizon Lounge:

I seriously doubt it took vast quantities of time to get it working. Some modeling time (quite probably reusing art assets from Incarna and Dust), being plugged into the Playstation Home environment.

It's a massive difference from getting Incarna working at significantly higher fidelity, with the potential for many many more people (Playstation home is pretty limited in the number of people you'll get in the room), and connected to your eve client + TQ
