EVE General Discussion

majority or minority, WIS/Avatars are going to please many current customers, and bring in many many more. Customizable avatars have been something thats been selling on the internet for YEARS. The gaming industry has actually been extremely slow to embrace this, and the only surprise should be its only NOW happening, and not 5 years ago


And whats this voting ****? I play eve a lot and i never saw any kind of vote... wtf?

So you expect CCP to base their company around some random third party voting thing with 20 voters? lol.

Spaceships.

Discuss.

Constructive.

You new here?

First of all, where is this vote?

Secondly, you call that a vote?

That isn't a vote. If you want a real vote to prove a point, get in-game and evemail a named ballot to every active account. And while you're in-game, try flying those spaceships that you keep saying you won the right to fly.

lol, you didn't win anything. Except maybe arse of the year award.

Actually, you totally missed the big picture due to not being able to pull your head out of your so called sand box..

The Dream

Incarna is a visionary step to turn a simple mmo spaceship simulation into a real time based sci-fi virtual reality. Dust is a visionary step to turn a simple mmo first person shooter simulation into a real time based sci-fi virtual reality. Joining these two totally different control applications together to work simultaneously will create the ultimate real time based sci-fi virtual reality universe.

My Gawd, are you deaf, dumb and blind? Can't you see the possibility's? This will open up a whole new era and revolutionize the gaming world as we know it. And when it all comes together, we'll have front row seats on the ground floor helping to make history.


Imagine this scenario.

While in your Captains Quarters, an alarm activates informing you an invasion force has attacked and captured a PI facility on Planet IV. You call up the Dust Commander and inform him to meet you in the war room of the Command Center to plan a counter attack and regain control. In the war room are 3-D visual maps of the Planet, the PI facility's and surrounding areas. You both examine the situation, verify the enemy position and mark the drop zones for supplies. After forming a plan of attack, you load the supplies into your ship while the Dust Commander rejoins his team who are waiting at the 1st drop zone.

With the supplies loaded in your ship, you travel to the planet, enter into atmospheric flight and drop the supplies at the 1st drop zone. While en-route back to the station, you encounter a small blockade of enemy ships. You make a call to your corporation and are quickly joined by a couple of Fleet mates. Small gang PvP combat starts happening in space while the ground forces engage each other.

As the battle in space continues, you receive a call from the Dust Commander requesting more supplies to be dropped at the 2nd drop zone. You and your Fleet mates have almost killed all enemy blockade ships when more enemy ships warp in and you find yourself tackled. Dust Commander contacts you again informing you they need those supplies now.

Eve is Real

This is just one of the many different possibility's that could happen. I for one hope and pray that CCP is successful in making their dream a reality for us to enjoy.

CCP has admitted they messed up by trying to developed WoD, Dust and Eve expansions all at the same time. They also messed up by giving us buggy half finished content due to allocating too many manhours and resources towards the other projects. Probably in an attempt to save money they started using us as Beta testing. Showing us the door in an attempt to encourage more Captains Quarters usage for load testing. Their wallet got thin so they added NEX with high priced items in an attempt to keep all 3 projects going. CCPs timing, bad PR, poor quality control, lack of communication and the way they introduced everything into the game, all were bad judgement calls.

Then we decided to use 'Ship Spinning' as the battlecry while staging mass protests, flooding the forums and 3rd party bulletin boards with emo-rage hate threads encouraging everyone to cancel subscriptions on a mass scale without even realizing or knowing the full back story of the financial problems at CCP.

I truly hope we didn't kill the dream.

Due to being financially strapped, thanks to our help, CCP has conceded by placing WoD on hold and in an effort to keep the dream alive, had to resort to a 20% reduction of their work force. They are now bending over backwards to address our concerns and repair the damage by concentrating on fixing the unbalanced buggy issues plaguing Eve as well as introduce some new FiS content . Not to mention adding special items for new registered accounts.

Ahhh, but we got 'Ship Spinning' again. BFD, seriously, BFD

Now after all that has happened, players are still posting emo-rage hate threads and unsubscription notice threads filled with self-righteous indignation trying to flood these forums once again with discontent. Some players are even encouraging others to do the same. These type of actions do not bode well for bringing in new subscriptions that are desperately needed at this time.

As an active member of this community for over 3 years, I have to say that I'm ashamed and disappointed at how our community is acting right now. In the name of 'Holy Veldspar' I ask and beg everyone to please step back and let CCP prove themselves once again able to deliver excellent content like they used to do.

You know, like the stuff that dreams are made of.
