EVE General Discussion

wis was added to third-person time-wasting simulator warframe recently. a player hub was added with stores and npcs not available in the captain's quarters. emotes are also included. the only time i saw it being used for social interaction was during an event. all the rest of the time, it's just a tedious walk through to talk to an npc

the emotes for some awful reason can be activated by mistake inside a dungeon, which is a great way to get shot to death, because the emote menu is right next to the item menu. i have not seen a player use the emotes intentionally except inside the dungeon exit room, where there's nothing else to do while you wait for other players to catch up

on the other hand, the player characters in warframe are mute in the lore which has obvious restrictions on roleplay

me, no. others, yes, but as far as i'm aware it's not a big thing. warframe's protagonists look cool but don't appear to have any character. compare that to something like city of heroes which really let you create a personality

i wanted to talk about the hubs and wis, though. i see them as having the functions of social interaction, rp and gameplay. warframe's version of wis doesn't have the first two going on and the third is pretty limited. i mean, i'd consider a wis project a success if the gameplay inside is entertaining or players actually begin to congregate there to chat/roleplay in meaningful numbers

the hub is pretty, though

e: you know, i just realised i play on the oceania server which in any game tends to be underpopulated. i doubt there's much more going on in the hubs on the usa or eu servers but i really can't say for sure

As long as we can hang out afterwards in the newly conquered station bar, why not?

i don't think that's the case here. it's really a regional setting rather than server selection, anyway - warframe does not provide servers except for the hubs and games are limited to four people. this does limit comparison between warframe's hubs and what wis eve might have had - the games and communities are pretty different, and warframe's far less social. but both'd pretty much be tack-ons to the 'main' game

Wishful, wistful, thinking.

Time, money, effort came and went, to no result expect loss.

EVE II could promise it, but apparently that is not in CCP plans.

I support implementing WIS.

"Walking in stations" is already displayed on killboards - WiS clothes are ingame items with ISK value that can be hauled, lost and/or drop just like any other cargo.

Of course, i'd still like a sidearm and a possibility to walk up to a random Jita local spammer and blap him/her/it right in the polygonal head. And a killmail as if it was a pod kill, with implants and all.

Pity that isn't going to happen.

Don't be so hard on yourself.

WIS created one of the biggest spikes in eve activity in its entire history. Too much revenue for ccp to completely ignore expanding.

CCP,

You deploy ship skinks, you deploy clothes.

Why do you don't relase you can get new customers from star citizen players.


They are fascinate about walking on stations, walking on ship, and walkings of planets. We wanna real sandbox.
