Look at all the recent user records. Now imagine if we could step out of our pods and
- visit special agents in stations that arent registered on any networks - gamble together for isk - play strategy games with other players - have a drink - dress up with the latest fashion
Now THAT would drag alot of people into eve. This year would about be the very right time to finally unleash Incarna.....

Edited by: Cyprus Black on 11/01/2010 01:06:09 The lack of avatar representation of players ingame puts off a lot of would-be EvE subscribers. If CCP really knew by how much, Incarna would've been released a long time ago.
That's not a shot at CCP because I really do enjoy this game. It's just that having a physical representation of yourself ingame really means a lot to players. It builds attachment to their characters and achievements.
Representation by spaceships just doesn't cut it for most MMO gamers.
This is going to be one of those things where, after it becomes hugely successful, the devs smack themselves in the forehead and ask why didn't they do this sooner. ___________________________________ "In the land of predators, the lion does not fear the jackal." -Dexter |

You can already get drunk, gamble and play strategy games with other players in EVE...and drinking IRL >>> drinking an imaginary drink and then going har-de-har guys I am drunk har har, I'm so funny.
If you think a substantial number of people are going to subscribe and stay subscribe to EVE solely because of Incarna, then you are delusional. Incarna will be nice and all, but you'll be bored within a week tops.

Oh yes fiashionistas! You too can set up your own shops and sell clothing items you have made yourself. Fashion parades, magazines and fashion ads on those little tv screens near gates will become the norm.
Maybe new markets will open up. Like refining frozen corpses to extract sinew with which to weave into the lastest fashion cloth...

ok from what we know:
barbie-esque dressup check exotic dancers check mindless violence uncheck drug use (already in the game)
gambling check other awesome things check
thats alot of checks compared to non checks :p

You have NO idea how many ppl don't play this game simply because there's no avatar. I have 5 friends who all tried this game who all didn't want to sub because of lack of avatar.

This mirrors my experience also. Obviously anyone playing EvE now doesn't care that much about having an avatar. The point is to attract those for whom it is important.
In any case, as I said in the previous thread: EVE needs more things to do than just fly spaceships. Flying spaceships is awesome, dont get me wrong, but that will get old after a while. Incarna isn't just about attracting new players; it's also about enticing old players to stay a little longer.

WOW makes billions of dollars over the fact a high proportion of players like to dress their dollies in the latest gear. I know it's weird to the rest of us but the game itself is extremely easy and challenge is not the main reason people play that game anymore. The whole of the last WOW expansion was about that fact which is why some of us left the game for good as all challenge was removed so everyone could dress up the way they wanted with no effort.
EVE has no fluff at all and even a small bit would benefit the game as long as it complements the rest of it rather than replaces.

From everything I have heard they ARE aware of that. (besides its kind of hard for them to miss that point, its aparently brought up that this is a Sci fi MMO where the players are little more than eggs that spatter when poped. . .)
but from what I have read in there opinion
(1) the people who can do both the avatars and and animation of said avatars tend to also have other jobs that are a bit higher in priority
and
(2) the people who have the skills and time have aparently been doing dust. . .
pun intended.

Completely agree. It's just that people keep saying that Incarna is going to be the best thing since T2 while it's just going to be a rather small and hardly used area of EVE.

i bet there is a space sim for sl (which is just a vpron game anyway) but the ability to costomise my costume and maby have a little taser gun that i can just nock people over with in stations also a pos structure i could walk in would be nice have a mall section of a station be able to walk through a small trophy room i really like how they were saying that the program would sync the lips of your avatar to your mic input and even modify your voice the tech seems a little shaky but still the machinima potential would be staggering (clear skys on crack) also id like to lord my wealth over a bunch of console noobs playing dust since capsuleers are vip's so to speak

Yeah, that is so going to happen soon, because making a very simple sidetrack where you can walk around in a station didnt take them 3 or 4 years so far. If you want to fight at planets get Dust514 when it comes.
On another note though, they better not **** up incarna, it ought to look real nice if it is supposed to go with the visuals of space. I have these images of stiff walking around like in some early 3d game |

If people are looking to walk around and interact with people, then put down the Cheetos, turn off the computer, and interact with people in real life. Not that hard of a concept, unless you're really socially inept.
---
Achurian players retain their fugly looks when this expansion is released. There should be no reason they benefited years ago with increased stats save for Charisma and now feel they should be entitled to look glamorous.
---
Since people desire to walk around, you would not be hooked into Aura which is a part of the egg and thus your skill training should cease.
---
There really should be an option to have hand-to-hand combat, gun fights, etc. outside the egg and thus potentially getting "podded" would be easier than if surrounded by an egg and ship.

Bahaha. You may be fined for breaking the facial recognition unit which grants access to station facilities :p
One thing I would like about Incarna is if there was the possibility of shady meetings in dark hallways, larger corporation meetings in rooms and things like that, it would offer a fresh sense of realism and certainly add to the game, so long as it captures the dark atmosphere of the EVE universe, which it seems to do judging from the trailer. I personally can't wait.

From what I saw of the trailer, this is how it looks to me, 'going off grid' to get your dirty deeds done dirt cheap. This would fit well with the feel of the game and might give us a few more options for conflict, but we'll have to see. If it just turns into 2nd Life in space then it will be overlooked by a lot of players, me included.

This is oddly reminiscent of an old game I used to play ages ago, before EA cut it. Anyone remember "Earth and Beyond"? Used to rival EVE, except EVE took off, and ENB didn't. You could walk about in stations in ENB, customize your character, everything. I'd like to see Incarna launch soon. DJ Radgrif on EVE Radio Saturdays 0600-0800 GMT |

Oh I think CCP are well aware of how it would impact user base.
The problem is though they also know it could have a negative impact on existing user base if not done correctly.
Too little to do: noone would use it and stations would be empty. Too much to do: People wouldnt undock and actually play internet space ships.
Given that every single MMO release in the past 3 years has never been able to retain its user base after the first free 30 days I think CCP knows that the MMO consumer is demanding, unforgiving and not to be taken granted. Hence the need to spend the appropriate time to do it right
Personally, I am not the kind of consumer that "quits" an MMO. I will always keep the door open and will always re-subscribe if an expansion is good enough. If Eve takes a year for this, then it just means i'll be a year older =]

People have been hearing about Walking in Stations/Ambulation/Incarna for so long, that not only does it have three names by now, it will never be able to live up to the years worth of expectations people are going to place on it. I wish we could all forget that we know they are working on it, and just have it be a nice surprise when it finally hits.

Originally by: CCP Eris Discordia You can have plastic surgery but I'm not sure if you can do it just on the boobs. We don't want the avatars to look very unnatural(gravity defying boobs on tiny tiny frames, it can be done but trust me those girls don't breathe during photoshoot or it takes them years of training).
It wouldn't fit into the vision we have for Ambulation to have very unrealistic looking female star ship pilots.
Now if you fear that the avatars will look dull because they can be covered..you need to broaden your horizons and explore the world of latex.

Awesome! If Incarna is half as good as Duke Nuke Forever then it'll be the second best game ever made. Right after Duke Nukem Forever, because that's the best ever no doubt and will never be beat. In fact cause of the groundbreaking sandbox mode I guess you could say Duke Nukem Forever will never actually be won cause it just keeps coming at you. Just mindblowing! I especially loved that part where you ride the Camaro they drop from the **** plane while it's on fire and you totally don't see the elephant coming before the bomb goes off. |

I'd love to be able to get out of my ship and walk around a station, talking to agents and whatnot.
However, I'm not particularily interested in any fluff that doesnt' have an actual gameplay element. For instance, I couldn't care less about a common "bar" area for chit-chatting and whatnot. I'm not 13 years old and I have no interest in playing Habbo Hotel.
I'm an ancient old MMO vet, I've seen and played most of them, certainly all the big name ones. EVE is dark and gritty. Unlike other games and stories there are no moral absolutes, everything is a shade of grey. I just don't think that having costume contests in the bar like some Sci-Fi version of Atlas Park is something that would do anything other than break my immersion.
That being said, assuming it's something that I can simply avoid by not taking part, then I have no issue with it if others enjoy it. --- Fergus McRae

Now THAT would drag alot of people into eve. This year would about be the very right time to finally unleash Incarna.....

Ya, it might drag some new heads into the game, but I bet they wouldn't last once they get over these features and see the core of what makes EVE, EVE.

Think about Incarna as a development project where many developers, money and lots and lots of programming time is poured into. I'm asking myself whether that development time would have been better invested in other things like balancing or something that adds more depth into the game. Somehow I dont think that walking and minigames add more to Eve than shiny graphics and attracting children who whine on forums for some stuff they dont understand yet.
Besides, game developers who want too much often fail. Im thinking of Arma2 for example. Its not like its not being worked on planetary interaction and Dust514 as well. I am skeptical if they can maintain quality by doing that much at once.

Thats where your assumptions can be wrong though you see, I think Incarna is the very definition of depth. Its completely different types of features, and can be leveraged to enrich the game in ways that have no limitations we can currently correlate with. Pew Pewing red crosses isn't going to get any "deeper" in terms of game mechanics I'm afraid. As refactoring those ancient systems would take significantly more work/risk than creating completely new and original game features like Incarna or planetary interactions that supplement Eve as we know her now.
You are also subscribing to a logic that may not be correct, where that, additional new features are automatically at the expanse of work to old ones. We simply don't know if that can be true or not. How do you know the "money" people at CCP wouldn't just lay a bunch of people off and still keep the same specific smaller focused team "polishing and fixing" old content thats doing so now? I'm sorry, but from a business standpoint, its usually typical to spend your resources on progressive new features than the polishing of older shipped ones.

I have to laugh at the idiots who say "if incarta has... dance... fashions... ect. I'm going to quit." There is no requirement to leave thier ships. So when you quit, quite frankly it is to the betterment of eve. If you are that stupid worrying about stuff like that then please leave now.
On an other note, for those of you who don't think Incarta won't bring in a fair amount just because people like avatars, think again. I learned from the Sims that people will pay to just play with avatars doing ordinary things. Now put them in space and I can see a draw so don't write it off.

Why would you be against it? CCP have said that it's not essential for you to go walking, it just offers new opportunity's to those who want to leave the pod once in a while, and benefits, but if you don't want a part of it then so be it, stay in your pod and it's the same game regardless.

- are we needing to redesign our toons? - or on the other hand Incarna will convert our 2D into 3D representations automatically
I hope its the 1st one so we have the opportunity to fix our toons, theres always something u regret of.
But please bring the same style, clothes and backgrounds (incase some of us want to keep current toon as much as possible). Ofcourse include more of them as the current itembase has not been improved from........... never?

When did I say I was quitting?! Am I quitting?! Wish someone told me I was quitting. I wasn't saying that. I got into EVE because it was differen't. Now theres rumor it will be like every other MMO. Even if I don't get out of my ship, theres still going to be WOW asshats ruining EVE. And I only use my pod when my ship gets blown up, I subscribe to the Clear Skies train of thought. I know the official story is the pod of goo crap, but I can imagine whatever the hell I like, it's my $15!

You are right, it is better for the company to develop new stuff, but is it really better for the customers? Shiny new avatars will surely attract new people and CCP gets money for that. Doesnt mean that the game gets better though.
I will now say something about World of Warcraft, even with the danger to get flamed just because I mentioned that game. I used to play it in the past, before the 2 addons arrived. Back then, the game felt completely different than it does now. When more and more players started playing, Blizzard tried to please everyone. They made content easier, they took away the "limited to one server" battlegrounds where you knew each other and made a big pool of them. Only brainless masses without teamplay now. They simplified many things, just to please everyone and attract even more people. Right now, WoW is not what it used to be and things like that might happen in the future to Eve as well.
The more new players come, the stronger their voice will be. They might want things that can throw the gameplay overboard. Some people are already complaining that CCP lowered prerequisites to certain skills and professions like exploration. Think about people demanding arenas and no real ship losses. Would you like something like that? Bit drastic, but where money is(new players), CCP might get weak.
And I dont know much about programming but I guess its way more difficult to implement a completely new game mechanic like walking with an avatar in a very old code than improve gameplay aspects of existing things. I hope that Im wrong and Incarna really adds some useful things to the game but the other way is more realistic. It might turn out in some rooms where a crowd jumps around spamming emotes. I lived through that nightmare in WoW already, really dont want it there.

well it should be setup so that as you drink, you temporarily lose more and more sp. then when you fly your ship, it's hard to control and the overview is blurred. but when someone shoots you, your tank drops more slowly because you're feeling so invulnerable; but when you're at half tank you suddenly blow up. all the while, the jukebox is playing "we want fun" by andrew w.k.

If you think a substantial number of people are going to subscribe and stay subscribe to EVE solely because of Incarna, then you are delusional. Incarna will be nice and all, but you'll be bored within a week tops.
I dunno, I could totally see my corp sitting around in an in game bar playing some ingame strategy/card game and getting drunk irl...

One thing I really want to happen is if you are out of your pod, you don't have access to local, and you don't show up on local. This would add an entirely new aspect of tactics and the importance of stations in the game. This would add depth, and make space more dangerous. Not only do you have to check adjacent systems, but you'd have to check the stations for ambushes.
IMO the more options you have in pvp the more indepth the pvp, which is why I like pvp in this game, it's impossible to have the quintessential Ship(Fit), it can always be beaten using tactics.
Fashion and redesigning characters is a great side effect I like the idea of having a private meeting, in the depths of a station. Or pilots waiting for action in there hangers ready to pod-up and undock into action. Plus this would help many peoples problem with local being used as a intel tool, if people in the stations are not in local, you'll never know for sure.
