EVE General Discussion

Only because they can't walk around. If you give them the means to walk around they will.

Next stupid comment?

Mr Epeen

I didn't see that i clicked the wrong button and didn't see small "quote" text in text of post so i made change and hit post.

I see that more and more people are coming to their senses and starting to realize that EVE is suffering every minute that its without WiS and avatar gameplay.

As long as the focus stays on ships and space, I see no reason why people are saying 'no' to WiS. Even if it is purely an optional social hub, I would love to be able to walk on space stations.

Whether that's standing near the docks, looking out a large window into space, watching other players docking their ships or setting off, seeing the galaxy pass by. Or heading to a Mass Effect style nightclub with friends just for giggles. I think there's a lot more to space than JUST space. I'd love to get a greater sense of each race's culture through their stations, and perhaps eventually, their planets.

I'm also not ashamed to admit that it's the avatar system that finally convinced me to give EVE a go. I can't wait to see how WiS evolves in future expansions, but I do also believe that the spaceships should remain the core experience. I don't ever want to see a gun in my avatar's hands for example. Clearly that's what DUST is for, so I think the devs are on the same page there.

Whoever made this deserves an Oscar!!!

How I play the game is none of your business.

Most of your replies in this thread are worthless angry troll posts intended to insult players who don't share your viewpoint and will be reported as such.

Please post proof to support your accusation.


I have never advocated Avatar emote / dancing in this or any other thread.

you do condone it though, as you are always so quick to defend those i rebuke.

Heh, stop trying to put the 'spotlight' on me all the time.

www.thefreedictionary.com/condone
con·done (k n-d n ). tr.v. con·doned, con·don·ing, con·dones. To overlook, forgive, or disregard (an offense) without protest or censure.

Going with that definition of 'Condone', yeah I guess you could say that.

WTF does it matter to you anyway?

It's just another aspect that could be added to the game in which some players may participate. If it is added to the game, doesn't mean you or I have to do it.

So what if CCP has the Avatars do emotes. If some players wanna do emotes, good for them. If CCP does make it happen, I wouldn't mind my Avatar being able to do the 'Middle Finger Salute' or 'Flip The Bird' to various specific players (hint hint) every time I see them.

www.thefreedictionary.com/rebuke
tr.v. re·buked, re·buk·ing, re·bukes. 1. To criticize or reprove sharply; reprimand. See Synonyms at admonish. 2. To check or repress. n. A sharp reproof.

Anyway, you thinking I'm defending those players is incorrect. This thread has been trolled for so long by a select few that whenever an opportunity presents itself, that's the time to 'rebuke the rebuking'.

EvE has the best space game out there. But I agree with the points that EvE needs to expand into a more personal presentation and subscribers will flow in like cocaine addicts.

SWG had social ships were you could invite 30-40 people in ship and was completely customizable insides with anything you found planet side via short commands like [move up 100, move back 200] and things would hang on the walls.
Making luxury yachts only for high sec space, to create social gathering for Corps will be an easier step in the meantime before WiS.

With Dust514 coming if they take current ships have physical interior you could have the PS3 players load up and be ejected out near the planet and then render on the PS3 a loading screen of Atmosphere entry. But while in the ship you could talk to the Marines or whatever they will be. This is a giant scope of awesomeness that is possible but CCP needs to expand its devs.

SWG proved people would be interesting in hanging out in cantina's and socializing. If EvE gets to a point where you can almost live a Sci-Fi novel in-game it would be amazing and hands down the most awesome game ever. People will fill all the roles needed to have a breathing society with people standing in vendors and selling things, people stealing from other avatars. Combat could then be taken back to space to settle the scores. People dancing in clubs, drinking not sure if CCP would want to go here but brothels would unfortunately also be popular with the weird people, but that might be too much lol.

MIners could gather and make up stories about where they found there latest ore find. People would get Han Solo and make up ship races etc.

The more CCP can deepen the experience into a complete virtual world the more people you will get. Even in its current state space combat is the best around, it can only be improved. I think CCP could take donations for a seperate WiS team and people would be willing to pay a little bit to get both sides of the game developed equally.
