Fix Lag	Posted - 2011.07.15 03:10:00 - [1] Because every other undockable status symbol can be blown up besides vanity items. Thanks for making EVE a place where you can pay to dress like an ******* and nobody can do a thing about it. Seriously: why are monocles indestructible? Fix Lag!
Akita T Caldari Navy Volunteer Task Force	Posted - 2011.07.15 03:12:00 - [2] Originally by: Fix Lag Seriously: why are monocles indestructible? Only while you're wearing it. Yeah, it makes no RP sense to me either. They caved in like... something that caves in. Fast. And made them indestructible while worn at the last minute. After saying they'll all be destructible. _ Make ISK\|\|Build\|\|React\|\|1k papercuts
Fix Lag	Posted - 2011.07.15 03:18:00 - [3] Maybe I should make the question easier to see so they can't claim we never asked. WHY ARE MONOCLES INDESTRUCTIBLE? Fix Lag!

They give you NO IN GAME BENEFIT! Who cares! When these glasses give me a +1 to my attack power, then ok, destroy. As it stands right now, they're glasses. tl;dr - Allen Iverson: "We talking about practice man, NOT THE GAME, practice! Really? Practice!"
Fix Lag	Posted - 2011.07.15 03:24:00 - [5] An Interbus shuttle doesn't give you an in-game advantage but I sure as hell will suicide a ship to watch yours explode. Fix Lag!

stoicfaux Gallente	Posted - 2011.07.15 03:25:00 - [7] Originally by: Montevius Williams They give you NO IN GAME BENEFIT! Exactly. So why was Eve development time spent on them? On a side note: do monocles survive biomassing? ----- CCP's NeX Pricing Tiers Affordable: One PLEX Mid: 3-4 PLEX Deluxe: Only for "flamboyantly rich capsuleers" Exceptional: ??

So why was Eve development time spent on them? On a side note: do monocles survive biomassing? What does being able to destroy then have to do with development time? We're having two different conversations here.

So why was Eve development time spent on them? On a side note: do monocles survive biomassing? Soley to **** you off. That was the high concept of Incarna actually, so I applaud CCP. OT: Why does it matter that they can't be destroyed. If someone's monicle is stoping you from enjoying the game, then I don't see why CCP should even try to cator to you as you clearly can't be appeased.

They give you NO IN GAME BENEFIT! Who cares! We do. As you obviously care also, otherwise you wouldnt have bothered to post here. The thing I find most interesting is how it exposes the gaps in CCP's vision of the game, how it seems to show poorly thought out game lore if nothing else. Theres obviously no answer CCP can come up with that fits otherwise they would have done so here. CCP answer easy ones in minutes, that threads been rolling along for a while now....... Heads up, it aint gonna go away Devs. And yes, I know you read this...YES, YOU!

The celestial steed DOES give an in game benefit as its a mount. The EVE monocle is just makes you look like the Monopoly man.

We live 27,000 years in the future, I can come up with all types of Sci fi speak to explain how they can take the monocle out of you face before you dock your ship: How about this one...they rip it out of your face and slap some Nanite repair paste on the wound.
Arn Vel	Posted - 2011.07.15 03:46:00 - [16] Originally by: Fix Lag Maybe I should make the question easier to see so they can't claim we never asked. WHY ARE MONOCLES INDESTRUCTIBLE? Same reason you can't open craker packets on an airplane... They really are just there for looks.
Fix Lag	Posted - 2011.07.15 03:47:00 - [17] Name me an item, that, before "vanity" items were introduced, was indestructible when you undocked with it. Fix Lag!

Fix Lag	Posted - 2011.07.15 04:01:00 - [22] Originally by: Ben Morto All of your other clothing You realize you're not helping your case here, right? Fix Lag!
Gurgeh Murat Minmatar	Posted - 2011.07.15 04:04:00 - [23] Incidentally Mr montevius... Originally by: Montevius Williams I've always assumed that you just took them off and left them in your Captains Quarters. Seems logical. Why would yuo bring your clothes into a POD? Makes no sense. Now the monocle is a different story. If it is an implant, then it should be destroyed on podding... Cant beat consistency eh? GTFO
Baneken Gallente The New Knighthood Apocalypse Now.	Posted - 2011.07.15 04:04:00 - [24] If the money would be an issue why can the plex be destroyed since it has even more value then the monocle ? Also people want to destroy them because they don't like folks parading with them and being oh so mighty. http://desusig.crumplecorn.com/sigs.html
OHU812	Posted - 2011.07.15 04:25:00 - [25] Edited by: OHU812 on 15/07/2011 04:26:56 Question: Isn't everything destructible in EVE? Well... except for the Barbie stuff? I don't know, but it appears to me OP has a logical question. Not sure why the bashing about. Here: If the monocle/clothes( AKA: Barbie Dolls and pink ponies.) stuff are indestructible. You should leave them in station when you enter your ship. If you want your Barbie pretend stuff to come along to the next station then you drop items into your cargo hold where it can be dropped or destroyed like anything else. If I may. Years ago when people moved great distances from their homesteads. They knew it was unlikely they would ever see their homeland again and would pack their most precious valuables into what cargo space they have. They then set over great distances covering sea and land. Sometimes bad weather, others just bad luck. Whatever the cause, we have treasures being found even today. I say we allow our lords to boldly go into space with their monocles/Barbie clothes safely tucked away in the recesses of their cargo bay. I say SPREAD the wealth! IDEA: Monocle is removable leaving a plug much like ones on your character's spine now, just smaller. The monocle AND Barbie clothes get placed in your hangar where you can choose to carry with you or leave it in station. If you carry the items with you, it goes to the ship's cargo where it can be scanned/destroyed or dropped like anything else in-game until now. ^^Just an idea, probably mentioned already but still. ^^ WTH?, it's really not that hard to come up with something that would add not take like you have it now. Pfft! I'm a mere peasant and I say if the overlords can throw ISK to the wind like they say, then who are they to cy care bear tears about losing a little ole monoculeee here and there during inclement weather or just bad luck. I myself see no problem... nor should our lordships.

quigibow	Posted - 2011.07.15 04:51:00 - [27] Originally by: quigibow there is no good reason... ccp had to shove incarna down our throats because of CARBON pretty much ccp has spent lots of RL in investment into other games (WOD DUST) and they are still year(s) away from being released. Pretty much Incarna is alpha testing for WOD dont get me wrong i would love to see what a station looks like in eve imo incarna should have come out one year after WOD launch mainly becuase WOD is a human avatar based game... while eve is ship avatar... They should have taken what works best from WOD after a year and impliment what makes sence in EVE rather then the other way around which is what they have chosen and which is why since 2008 we have been getting medicore expansions... and i say this only in comparison to what an expansion in eve used to be as for vanity items not being destructible? wait until all vanity items are bpc only... once there is an healthy market for items i would expect CCP to implement destructible clothing...
Dreya Renthold	Posted - 2011.07.15 04:54:00 - [28] Originally by: Fix Lag Because every other undockable status symbol can be blown up besides vanity items. Thanks for making EVE a place where you can pay to dress like an ******* and nobody can do a thing about it. Seriously: why are monocles indestructible? Because no one would buy it if it could be destroyed.
Written Word Written Word's Tax Haven	Posted - 2011.07.15 05:04:00 - [29] Originally by: Dreya Renthold Because no one would buy it if it could be destroyed. People buy pirate implants and +5s. They should be indestructible too, right? They are on your body after all.
Khira Kitamatsu	Posted - 2011.07.15 05:09:00 - [30] Because CCP knew it would make the idiots come out in droves to b.it.ch and moan so they could collect your tears to sell on the NEX to other players as SP elixirs. LOL!
