EVE General Discussion

I know this is not a new request or question but perpetually glancing off EVE, afraid that it really will suck me in forever as it always starts to do, I still do not know the answer why it hasn't happened yet?

My question?
When will I be able to walk my character out of a Capsuleers Quarters and into a station and sit down with other capsuleers or otherwise interact, character avatar to character avatar.

It seems such an obvious maturation of the game adding new depth and thus attracting a greater fan base

Eve has fallen behind toony upstarts like Star Trek Online which, on that free game, I can walk around planets and stations remarkably beautifully rendered and explore or socialize or if need be, fight.

The Emotes interface allows my character about 100 preset actions from blowing a kiss to flipping a coin to saluting.

I can interact with my environment....its pretty cool.....but its still Trek.....it's not Eve with it's swishing avatar glory....seriously look how your Avatar walks in a station guys..... that's called a camel walk in Modelling ramp class not that I would know..... "Blue Magnum"!

For all it's swishy glory, EVE is still my game of choice...... but there is only so much interest in pounding another Gurista or in licking another wormhole..... sooner or later..... we all want dinner first.

Part of what makes EVE great is it allows us another life...... making that other life more believable and seeable would only heighten the attraction to EVE and bring in more more players revenue streams as Capsuleers adorn their lives and living rooms with items

Like I said, I know this is not knew but I can't seem to find the thread for it.

If someone could amend this - appreciated.



And hey while I am here,

The Star Trek Online game has done a very good job of providing incentives to purchase in game improvements that do not really amount to pay to win.

Since eve is my prefered game..... because coolness is always prefered...... just saying CCP..... take a look and start copying from all those that copied you.

......


And finally a repeat of my Space Bauble rant.

When will planets have gravity....when will I be able to burn up a ship in the atmosphere or even just land on one and walk about. Why are planets just space baubles.

If DUST514 is supposed to be that .....a) I don't have a console and B) its as limited in its scope as EVE original is... pew pew no shopping for new shoes

Considering the relative maturity of this game and the players who make up this community..... it seems bizzare that we are confined to quarters.

I am
as always

A great EVE fan...

CCP if you would like to fly me up to Iceland I will be glad to lead the avatar and planetary interaction development team.
UK will also do.

Just wait for Starland Citizens: Dangerous Elites! The final death of EVE! You will be able to do emotes on a planet, in a space station, and on a spaceship.

I know this is a troll post but part of what you said is true - EVE is just pew pew. DUST is just pew pew. Legion will just be pew pew. Might as well play Battlefield, cause it's pew pew but without the time sink, grind and other annoyances, sub fee, or UI bukkake of CCP games.

Not too much pew pew there?

Literally the definition of Soon™

OP, you use too many periods and line breaks to not to be considered a troll.

The Incarna/CQ issue is an undead horse beaten to ultimate death every week with a 40-player raid group only to have the boss fight reset again, so 0/10.


Answer to your question : Never.

personally? I just wanna dance in my CQ to a jukebox.

Like it or not ccp will have to act soon on this, as the truth is that eve is about people flying spaceships, not spaceships as such.

Every great eve story is a human story.

when legion and Valkyrie is sorted it will make sense to tie all of the titles together via a common interface that launches the game you want. Given that the code has already been written then they might as well go for it and give us some avatar fun.

After all the NES store is working well and more apparel is being released every month, so clearly there's support for avatars at CCP who are enjoying the MT revenue.

We'll shake hands and then just die because none of us have had enough exposure to anyone else in order to develop a working immune system.

Agree on the second sentence, but not necessarily on the first.

Eve has done ok following the disaster of Incarna and Eve is primarily known as a harsh underwater spaceship UI for spreadsheets (and big battles).

I dont think it is necessary for CCP to expand into space SIMs, but i kind of see it just creep up on us all in small increments. The increase in avatar customization and offerings in the NES are cool and if the sales are strong, CCP will probably continue to expand that. Where its at is just a start and character customization isnt about WiS in any way. I can just see things slowly morphing into more WiS like behaviours over time.

I dont think its a necessity though. Most of the people i fly with in game are interested in flying their ships not visiting a space station. That doesnt mean there's no market for that, but just not something widespread in the current player base, who would prefer CCP continue to develop and expand existing gameplay rather than spending development time on other things.

At least they could add a toilet...
