Maplestone	Posted - 2011.02.18 21:18:00 - [571] It looks fantastic, but so did the character creator and it turned out to be an absolute nightmare on my computer - full seconds for the screen to respond to mouse clicks or to rerender a tiny change. That experience that has left me concerned over whether I will be able to continue playing in the brave new world of character models - as much as I am enjoying Eve, I just wouldn't have the patience to play through that if it was happening every time the hanger loads.
Mother Fokker	Posted - 2011.02.18 21:22:00 - [572] Originally by: okst666 I am curious about how that balcony view will work... I mean, what will I see when I dock my Battleship then. A 1200m long and 500m tall wall of steel? Well proportions, and scale of spaceships as perspective has been a week point of eve for a long time. If anyone doubts that put a machariel next to a thanatos check size proportions and look how much bigger the tiny thanatos should be. Its a FREAKING carrier, not a coffe cup dish darn it. Looks like one though
xKillswitchx Reliables Inc Majesta Empire	Posted - 2011.02.18 21:26:00 - [573] Edited by: xKillswitchx on 18/02/2011 21:26:26 With all due respect this is BS, CCP can't even fix the nodes from crashing when we have 400 people in a system outside of Jita and now you want to dump this on us as well? You are making things far to complicated in the game and though this looks cool, the individual systems and nodes will never support it. Till CCP can fix the basics of their node capacity and the ability for systems to not crash this whole new thing will only cause things to be more laggy and more frustrating. CCP says email us ahead of time when there is a big fleet fight, How the frack do you know when a big fleet is going to happen or that it doesn't move to a system or two nearby. I mean get real. CCP you need to listen to us players and REALLY fix this crap or tons of us are leaving to the newest MMO that's kicking EVE's ass right now World of Tanks. If you don't think EVE players are fed up with you think again.
Mother Fokker	Posted - 2011.02.18 21:30:00 - [574] Originally by: Kyle Komato Bringing back Aura's voice is a very very good idea - i started playing eve in Quantum rise and Aura is acctually the thing that kept me through introduction part of a game . After apocrypha hit the deck i tryied new player expirience and tons of text that you had to read without assistance of Aura was not very funny - i would probably never got throu new player expirience if i started playing in apocrypha. And Aura really adds to scfi eviroment. Well if CCP had put on thenth of the efford they say to put into eve than you would have a different AI voice for each ship you own. I mean dont you really think that it would make sense to have a different AI voice per race and type-class of ships?
RipperZane	Posted - 2011.02.18 21:35:00 - [575] Edited by: RipperZane on 18/02/2011 21:35:54 They need to make the ability to "thumbs up" a post. I would thumb-up (rate a +1) this one. Also, everything below this point isn't me. Originally by: The Lost Penguin Originally by: The Lost Penguin This is important not just for those of us that aren't particularly interested in it in the form described or even what we might get by this time next year, but purely because of client performance. Look at the client now, there's an option to disable loading the CURRENT station envoroment because it causes serious performance issues for some peoples computers Sorry but behind your crying i only see "New station enviroment will make bots life harder now","Blalabla i cant play on my Pentium 3 now, blabla my macro is broken blabla". Who cares? First off, read peoples posts somewhere near properly before babbling, I have a system that can easily run 4 clients atm (I don't have capacity to test with more), if I can't run multiple WiS station instances at max settings it means CCP really screwed up their performance optimisations more than that my system sucks, so your suggesting I'm whining about not increased system reqs is kinda silly, I even stated that personally I'd like it to run at a higher quality than CCP seem to be aiming for, because I expect I could run it. The people that wouldn't be able to probaly make up a fair portion of the playerbase (I'd bet a higer % than those who COULD run everything maxxed smoothly) and would basicly all be kicked out the door, bad for CCP and bad for gameplay to suddenly lose a big chunk of playerbase. Also you say this would make life harder for macroers, how exactly? Add however many extra seconds it might take to be sure station has loaded as delay between sending keystrokes to dock and the unload ore routine kicks in and everything works exactly the same, any and every UI CCP can implement can be macroed and nothing can change that no matter how much anyone dislikes it. You might make it harder (altho you'll probaly make the UI really really bad to use doing so) but the guys actualy making money from reselling macroed ISK have the time and resources to write and rewrite their macros faster than you can break bits of the UI to try and spite them. Not saying we should just shrug and say "hey ok, macroing is fine now" but this feature itself will do nothing to hinder them, if you think it will you have no idea how easy it is create macros....

If you don't think EVE players are fed up with you think again. I may be utterly wrong and CCP may have changed their minds since then, but I recall reading that all new "out of ship" content ie WiS would take place on its own hardware rather than existing on the same nodes as star systems currently do. Makes sense in that CCP have recently been moving stuff off general "space" nodes and onto dedicated ones ie the market/character nodes discussed in various other devblogs, ofcourse they may just be taking a bunch of nodes off "space" duty and reassigning them to run other stuff, can only hope that's not the case and that this will get it's own new hardware to run on. Of course you can complain they should be spending the monies on more stuff for TQ, but at least WiS itself shouldn't (in theory) cause any huge performance hit, probaly something else launched/"fixed" at the same time will tho
Thorvik Minmatar Ship Construction Services Ushra'Khan	Posted - 2011.02.18 21:50:00 - [577] Originally by: manasi Ok but I have been waiting for an answer to the question "Why?" Why invest so much: time, energy, and incredible graphics, manpower, CSM time, hundreds of meetings, on an {optional) thing? If is strictly is to draw in new players so that a new player has an idea of how things function in eve, excellent, but SAY so. If it is to make a more immersive experience ( which has been bandied about and SOME have said why your doing this) fine. Confirmation of this would be nice. Give us the information so that we know WHY this is being done. Once we know WHY something is being done, we can connect the pieces together, and develop a cohesive " this is why CCP is doing this" You want to make EVE more like a themepark game, fine, just say so. There has been no vision expressed as to why this needs to be done other than we want to best sci-fi MMO there is. That statement is too broad and never reachable, Success must be measured by meeting concrete goals to fulfill and overall vision. How do Planteray flight, DUST 514, Incarna, Fixes to Sov, CSM all contribute towards your vision? It seems so damned scattered brained that even trying to make sense of what is being done is nearly impossible. Do i want the deep dark secret, no. I want a Vision, expressed with solid steps, defined by measurable goals so that after 7 years of playing this game I do not HAVE to ask why. You want to surpise me? Feel free, I like surprises. Does this look Nice? Certainly, but again I am left with WHY would I wish to exit from my ship (other than to admire my existing ships) if just to walk around my cabin? Seems pointless and you CCP are better than pointless. tbh ^ This

Aenachreon	Posted - 2011.02.18 22:12:00 - [580] For the love of God... ...can we PLEASE include functionality that will allow a docked capsuleer to view tactical space around the station (ie, 3D space, overview, etc) as if we were undocked? Hell, I'd be satisfied with a 2D top-down "radar" screen out to 200km. It's almost like there are no windows in the future.

Bobbith	Posted - 2011.02.18 22:26:00 - [581] Quote: your character can gaze upwards at the majesty of your vessel as it looms above you inside the station I don't mind admitting, this made me a little hard
Kyra Felann Gallente The Scope	Posted - 2011.02.18 22:37:00 - [582] Edited by: Kyra Felann on 18/02/2011 22:43:14 Originally by: Eldiora Will any of this be aviable to the part of the population that lives in Wormhole space and hardly ever gets outside into one of the stations of eve? This question boggles my mind. Why would it be? When you choose to live in w-space, you are choosing to live somewhere where there are no stations. So, no, you can't station-spin, you can't buy things off the market, and you can't walk around in a station, because you live in w-space, where there are no stations.

crymyname	Posted - 2011.02.18 22:55:00 - [584] thx .. but this game gives you more without the attachment of a facebook walk round .. most play the game just to play ..i don't need to see joe blogs legs in a station to talk to him .. i'm a pod pilot in a pod ..simple's
Commander TAK	Posted - 2011.02.18 23:02:00 - [585] I love how people keep comparing world of tanks to eve like its a competitor, get real you trolls. If you're going to compare eve to another game, make sure its remotely in the same league, go rage about new features somewhere else.
CRONGUS	Posted - 2011.02.18 23:10:00 - [586] Another thing that would be good to have in the captains quarters or somewere in station access to market not just to see what ships or items that is avalible in the region but in other regions as well instead of have to shout out to some one for a price or log off and go to your alt to see whats buying or selling price is in another region are.
Der Valkirie	Posted - 2011.02.18 23:11:00 - [587] Question, Is there a point to this garbage Is this a game improvement or a pointless exercise for some 3D graphics designer, of course it could also be yet another CCP attempt to turn this game into a portal for their "DUST" game. It seems they could not improve the current UI but can waste time on a silly "Captains Quarters".
Pasmerktas	Posted - 2011.02.18 23:18:00 - [588] I wanted to ask about this holographic ship feature, will by any chance it be a in-game ship simulator with avarage dps count, module fitting, avarage price check or something like that, something like evehq, or just a useless eye candy?
Zen Jardo Merkhan Industries Anarchy Unlimited	Posted - 2011.02.18 23:20:00 - [589] I need a stripper pole in my captains quarters and places for all my exotic dancers. Also I need a back room for "experiments" on frozen corpses.

James Bullseye Caldari	Posted - 2011.02.18 23:38:00 - [591] Hy! I have an idea. Imagine your character head, inside this head there are implants.There are parts of your character barin for example perception,willpower,memory,charisma,intellingence these parts are colored.This can be a hologram or "realistic meat" or something like that.Actually you can look inside your own character head and when you loook inside you can see wich part(for example perception,willpower) your character corrently using for training.I can make a concept but i'am worst painter ever. So this is my idea i hope you like it. Bee good. Hy i'am James, James Bullseye....
BuckStrider Amok. Goonswarm Federation	Posted - 2011.02.18 23:40:00 - [592] Man, I can't wait to play IMVU on EVE
Super mommabear	Posted - 2011.02.18 23:46:00 - [593] Will it be possible to have the captains quarters in superrcarriers and titans considering the pilot can not dock and the ship itself is a floating city.
Sarina Berghil Minmatar New Zion Judge Advocate Multiple Sargasm	Posted - 2011.02.19 00:15:00 - [594] I think it has the potential to look very pretty. But it begs the ancient question 'why?'. What essential game play features would make us use this stuff? In traditional MMOs, unless a zone has a hard gameplay purpose it will go unused and ignored. Is Eve for some reason different in this respect?
Fau Ti	Posted - 2011.02.19 00:28:00 - [595] I can't wait for this.

What essential game play features would make us use this stuff? In traditional MMOs, unless a zone has a hard gameplay purpose it will go unused and ignored. Is Eve for some reason different in this respect? I am also curious as to why you are wasting resources on turning a space game into sims? I am one of the many people who think WiS is a neat idea, however, it is not in line with what I thought was the feel of eve, which is internet space ships. Like I've said before, stop coming up with random marketing crap to bring in new players because it's making the older players angry because they are asking for current things to be improved, and CCP just seems to keep pushing out half-finised buggy new stuff which is going to make newer players not want to play. CCP has a buddy program - I'm sure that brings in a lot of new subs, so why make useless features that are going to kill your subscription base out of frustration?

Kelian Underdwar	Posted - 2011.02.19 00:56:00 - [598] Edited by: Kelian Underdwar on 19/02/2011 00:56:59 This idea is very bad. Only 1.01% of the EVE population actually want this implemented. I say its bad because if you're in a heavy PVP situation, and need to refit quickly, we don't want to spend 3 minutes to try and load all the useless eye-candy, 1 minute to run to the fitting hologram and another to run back, and then 3 minutes for a fancy undock. This is also bad because it will take a huge toll on computers, there is no way, that "Captain's Quarters" will take the same time as the previous docking experience. I will be disappointed if there is no way to turn off this lagfest you call Incarna. This game is turning into a Sims/Spaceship/WoW MMO. It's losing its authentic feel.
Saska Dax	Posted - 2011.02.19 00:59:00 - [599] looks great few things i think are important we need to be able to customise our quarters and clothing to allow us to be individuals at the moemt we are just ships. secondly the stations should be relative ie we walk them no teleporting we have to interact with them in 3 dimensions. but overall i think its gonna be great
Tippia Sunshine and Lollipops	Posted - 2011.02.19 01:04:00 - [600] Originally by: Kelian Underdwar Listen to the community, and put this idea away. The community wants this idea. Also, your reasons for why it would be a bad idea are based onà what, exactly? ùùù ôIf you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡à you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.ö ù Karath Piki
