Or chat?


Both of which are impersonal. Talking to someone face to face seems better to me. Plus huddling around a table while a guy tells a story (that most likely he made up or has exaggerated) has more atmosphere.

And it would allow more possibilities of initiating small talk and meeting new people. I mean, sure you can do that in local chat but it's hard to do it unless you're in a system with lots of people like Jita but those places have tons of spammers filling up the chat so I mostly ignore local there.


Yeah you're starting to get into creepy territory. I'm personally not into this idea.

I pay for internet spaceships.
You pay for internet space ships.

We get get internet spaceships.

but instead you want a players sitting in a "virtual bar".


The only WIS they should implement is the chance for us to invite dust 514 players into our quarters so we can show them fancy space ships & laugh at their tiny tanks.

make WiS low-sec only.
give us the customizable bars we were promised.

also I support /dance emotes, if each culture gets their own flavour.

MAKE IT SO.

Don't anger the forum gods.

So, go to a real bar and do that, or, go play second life if you have the overpowering need to get your "virtual" freakishness and role-playing groove on.

There's nothing "personal" about interaction when you are pretending to be someone in a pretend bar via an Avatar.


This is an MMORPG. RPG as in a Role Playing Game. Even though I said nothing about Role playing, just making new friends in the game. Unless of course you people don't like making friends.

And yeah sure I'll go to a bar irl and talk about flying spaceships. I'm sure that'll work out just fine.

You're telling me you don't say "hi" to people in Local? I actually got into some pretty interesting conversations with some people in Dodixie while sitting in the station.

And I do not understand how I'm getting into creepy territory, unless you find sitting at a table with other people or talking to random people "creepy".

more social elements could definitely be nice in this game. WiS, easier corp creation/hiring, etc. it would not distract from nullsec in any way, CCP is going to throw money away on other things regardless, whether it be DUST or WoD or WiS. Might as well make something that will attract more people to EVE, to keep it going and being the primary focus of CCP.

Lol You know I really love it ! Right now it is mostly just a tease of what it could be.



Id tell you two to get a room, but unfortunately there is only one person allowed to a room at the moment in game.

Unless Alice is a hooker. Hookers aren't people, so you may be able to skirt the system with that technicality.

Bingo. It would attract a lot of new subscriptions. Some current Eve players would switch to hanging in station more, but some of the people who subscribe for the WiS aspect would also probably venture into space from time to time, perhaps even learning they enjoy out of station activities more.

You can't get everybody to like every idea. There will always be bugs. People have been saying "let's focus on fixing PVP/PVE/Mining gameplay and bugs" for years now. Where's the stopping point? There isn't one. Get WiS done CCP, focus there instead of WoD or any unknown ventures you may be planning that aren't related to Eve/Dust... Cool

Try to picture it just like you see your character walking
In the hanger but in a huge stations where you see shops and other
Players walking around. Like a huge mall where you can go shopping
For clothes ship modifications, luxury ships for style or even walk
In to meet your friends in a bar station and have a drink.
That to me would be phenomenal game experience in eve and attract
New players because of the social out come of it.

I know that will never happen but I think if it were to happen
More ppl would get highly addicted to eve online.

What do you think and what are your thoughts on that?




Agreed, but i should also have the opportunity to steal your shiny ship from right under your nose.
I just walk to your hangar and jump in, undock it and fly away.

You and your hundred crew jump into my ship and fly it away? ;)

I don't think all the murder/thievery ideas are that good. Perhaps a fist fight in a bar, if needed.

But, face it:
Capsuleers are pilots and I really cringe every time I hear that people describe their pod-dweller as super-ninja-assassin elite-swordsman sharpshooters. ;-)

Actually it would be nice to have shared social zones with DUSTies, who are really super-ninja-assassin elite swordsman sharpshooters and would wipe the floor with your usual pod-dweller.
(Until they undock again, which is when we should be able to turn their Ark ships into sparkling stardust...)

Ah, dreams. *sigh*

But I would rather like to be able to customize and do more with my ships, instead of play barbie with my toon. Since this is a game about...you know, Space Ships!

... and market manipulation, and intrigue, and politics, and betrayal, and corporate organization/security, and scams, and any number of other things that have little (if anything) to do with space ships.

Yes, space ships are one of our primary tools for interacting with each other and the universe, but hardly the only one. There are distinct advantages for having more.


I'm just saying we spend most of the time in spaceships (capsuleers and the players) and yet we can't even give our ships a simple paint job or put decals on them. I care more about what my ship looks like than what my guy looks like since I will be staring at my ship for 99% of the game.

To me, that is more important than walking around in stations with more character customization and emotes P I'm not saying it wouldn't be nice to have more WiS stuff, I'm just saying it's not as important as some other stuff I would like to see.

And that's fair enough.

I was just pointing out that many people that are major, long time EVE players never leave the station yet play every day.

I'm a big fan of ship paint jobs myself, but I also see the value in expanding the types of game play available.

5 years ago, Torfi made a presentation showing "ambulation". He walked around a station, showed "slots" that could be rented for commerce, corporation meeting rooms where a corp could hire a bot to handle greetings etc. He showed us a bar that had dancers and such as well as 3d minigames with holographic avatars sort of like battle chess. CCP removed all these videos form the website/youtube channel. This is the only one I can find and it is poor quality and does not show all the things Torfri showed.

I think this is more or less what you are typing about... previewed 5 years ago...

Well, it *would* be cool, but it *would not* be EVE.

Avatar content does not belong in EVE. Actually, anything that it's not already in the game does not belong to it. And probably some things already in the game, don't belong to it neither -but CCP didn't noticed yet.

EVE is EVE which is EVE. You know EVE, it's been 10 years to date and it won't be changing, just will optimize until CCP gets another source of revenue -probably WoD.

So, no avatars in EVE. Avatars used to be the future, but the future is now (2 years since Summer of rage) and what you see now is the same as the future will be.

Well, once something hits the Internet, you can try to hide it as much as you want later on. Someone else kept it save for you.
This is just one article about their ambitious ambulation: (describes all features they promised back then...)
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/eve-online-walking-in-stations-hands-on?page=2

One early vid:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dzy7DG8VR2s

And so on. I remember one site showed the completed pub, too.
Of course then they forgot about it for a while to start from scratch.

The Eurogamer article mentioned:
Quote:
The initial costumes created by artists "were very gamey - although they were cool, we felt that you wouldn't see this in a science-fiction film". Out they went, replaced by a costume designers' work that could actually be made in fabric, accurate down to the stitching. Similarly, the environment designs created by "level artists from popular FPS games" were scrapped for the work of architects and industrial designers, since stations wouldn't be used for combat, but shopping and social interaction


I wonder whom CCP hired for the CQs... Expert bird trap designers?

Will I be able to shoot people(avatars)?



I would not mind "ambulation", as long as it was meaningful for the game / Dust514 connection and did not draw too much from the core bussiness of blowing ships up.


I thing carbon is an awesome thing, I love the characters we can have now, EVE charactrer creator spoiled all other RPG`s for me. Theres no clones in EVE as in people looking exactly as the other, wich I consider a BIG THING.
