Are you kidding? That'd make it MORE fun. Picture it, exploring a sleeper station, harvesting some stuff. Suddenly that jerk that podded you a few weeks back and spammed your mail is in the same station...problem is he isn't so "hard core" outside his ship and he sucks at FPS/3PS style gameplay. You however, do not....

:3

I'd love to scan different Sleeper alcoves or ruins or something. Hell what happens when you find a body and it is neither Sleeper...nor Jove...nor Empire human...Talocan? Tahkmal?

what if i open the door and all i see is a bunch of dudes emoting each other?

CCP dev 4: should we tell something about DX11?

CCP manager : are you mad??????

I want to fly!

EVE isn't about piloting ships, it's about "Captaining" ships. Adama, Picard, Kirk etc etc didn't use joysticks either...

Don't misunderstand me; there's nothing at all wrong with fixing parts of the game that are broken, or have been neglected for years.

Just based on your username I bet it has feathers.

Sure I like walruses. That doesn't mean I put on a walrus suit and hump somebody wearing a squirrel suit.

People who like animals are great. Furries are disgusting and CCP shouldn't be encouraging them to play Eve.

Youre delusions of what WIS is about are amusing. CCP has said they planned on adding exploration type avatar-gameplay in this very thread. You expect to find animals in space exploration and extra-vehicular activity?

"the door will not open ever!"

You already played the final version? Not bad... how was the weather in the future.

Sure, but you are aiming at the wrong stuff. CCP isn't working on WIS, they shelved it and dissolved Team Avatar to focus on the things that make CCP money today. Nothing realistic you guys are putting forth will bring in new subscriptions or retain existing ones. CCP is not going to spend a dime developing a release that contains just a single room so a scant few players can meet there and be seen posing for each other. It matters not how much money you claim to throw at SC or any other game, this is unlikely to change for a long time.

Denial is not a river in Africa.

I don't want barbies in space.

Meanwhile Star Citizen devs promised (today) avatar-based exploration: you'll have to search derelict ships and stations for loot instead of just opening container and grabbing content. It seems you'll have to shoot locals (PvE) and other explorers (PvP) in the process.

Sounds familiar - isn't it? It seems someone is making money on CCP's ideas - while CCP is trapped inside their "free content-less expansions" concept.

Confirming a room to sit in is "visionary".

Have you heard about carrot and stick? Now this thread is in a stick phase, and before it was in a carrot phase, and then after the stick phase ends it will be back to carrot phase. Positive incentive and negative incentive work together.

"This is not the focus for EVE online the game, but CCP still holds the vision. Both me and Hilmar expressed this at fanfest."

Having finally passed through denial, it seems you are reaching the last stage of grief: Acceptance.

Or, you could just trash CCP some more and try to convince more players that EVE will certainly die or be killed off by a competitor if they do not produce what you want. That plan has been working really well for you thus far, just look at all of the bipartisan support you were able to muster.

SO this is two things that the community would really want that CCP is like "screw you"

Avatar Gameplay
HD Graphics

So much for the "Ultimate sci fi simulator"

I wish you guys would just come right out and say that WiS is dead.

O.K. If I design a single pre-alpha game that contains a space toilet you can use now INCLUDING a working toilet paper roll and flushing sounds, and I also make a bunch of promises about what else may come later, how much will you throw at my kickstarter project?

Damn.

Those Jin-Mei robes. Those beautiful robes. Why aren't these a reality?

They also want a tank with fishes.

I absolutely love how in 2010-2011, the time when Incarna was coming, game revenue increased by 5.9 million USD

Does news ever occur in this thread anymore or is it just ongoing circular arguments?

Check out the last 2 pictures about Algos in this dev blog, pic 1 and pic 2.

While the rest of the images seems to be Dust related, these 2 images might be some sort of prototype images about WiS. I might stop pumping money in SC if this is part of ccp future plans with EVE! And yeah, I know those are some kind of book illustrations but why so detailed and so much focus on ships interior?

The Carbon Build System works with the Single Code Repository to produce deployable versions of CCP virtual worlds in just hours instead of days

But I still like to show my enthusiasm for avatar-based gameplay because, well, someone's gotta I suppose or it'll never happen.

Hell, even the damned monocle became something of a wealth status symbol. "HEY LOOK I'M SO RICH I CAN THROW A BILLION INTO THE SHITTER HA-HA!". I'll kind of repeat myself saying - CCP should flip the "enabled" tags on all other NEX things and just see what players do with them.

Assuming you've overcome the perils of gravity, you still need to go occasionally for number one and number two. And yet, there are no toilets in the future. Spaceships are poop-free zones, aliens have magical nappies that filtrate their urine better than those special suites in Dune.

Where did all toilets go? Don't our heroes need to relax now and then, have a read? Doesn't Picard get a clenching moment now and then? Wasn't Snake Plissken afraid when he EMP-ed the world?

Now, let's consider the actual sewage capacity of a modern spaceship. Take a 1,000-crew ship, with equal half-male half-female population. Using today's world eating and hygiene statistics, we're talking five to six urinal trips and an average one Zen-like moment per crewmember a day, resulting in about two liters of fluid and 400-gr turding. With no special bacteria to bio-degrade the waste, we're amassing 400 kg of browncake and two tons of lemonjuice every single day. This translates into 700 hundred tons of peepee and 150 tons of cacky a year, and this is a conservative estimate. Where do you put all that? Or do you just eject all that into space?

Imagine, bio-warfare between rival ships. As they swoop past another, you get them showered with your waste. And if they don't have any window wipers, they end up with polluted starscape until the next visit in an orbital maintenance shop.

Better yet, since the vacuum is fairly cold, ejected ***** turn into solid ice instantly. So with some knowledge of ballistics and good timing, you can use human excrements as kinetic weapons. If you fire them from your ship when moving at great speed, you can create a meteor shower of unprecedented physical and psychological impact. You can even use the gravitational pull of nearby stars and planets to make your dung accelerate, becoming even deadlier. Theoretically, you can have a 1,000-ton kinetic projectile created from inedible parts of human diet, available for launching at 20 km/sec, at your disposal. Farts have never been more dangerous.

And so the space weapons become pissiles and turdpedoes. Oh man, what a moment of poetic brilliance. Now, this is what I call - biological warfare! Yeah! I win!

Wack cam outside station in fis, stream through twitch, project on wall in wis, done.

Spotted this on the Rubicon website

New female clothing ?

Yes, and no. Yes, the game was ignored and the players were angry (rightfully so). No, that being ignored had nothing to do with Avatar content. It didn't take CCP 2 years to build our CQs, they developed a games engine (reinvented the wheel when they should have just bought one) and started working on Dust and World of Darkness in that time.

We were ignored because CCP got greedy and spread their resources too thin, not because CCP had a dream of Avatar content.

As if to prove this point I just checked the features and ideas section to note that the t1 frigs and cruisers are having yet another balance pass.

A game as complex as eve can never truly be perfect.

Is this the protoype this team was working on?

It is looking pretty nice yes, I hope it will be used for more than promotional posters/trailers.

You know, you really just described WIS.

SC backers approved theme park content and game play which is not available yet. CCP backers approved spaceships and PVP and the fixing/updating of existing features.

Can we stop polluting this discussion with Star Citizen? I find the apples to oranges comparison a bit childish..

Edit: This is the line in the intro to EVE article that hooked me most on the game:
"In EVE, you don't fly a spaceship, you command it."

Your twitchy spaceship flying game has nothing to do with EVE. Please stop.

Years ago! People act like Devs are still in this conversation. It's only an annoying activist thread now. The dead horse was beat senseless long ago, it decayed and now a tree has grown where it once lay. People are carving little hearts in the tree with 'WiS' inside it, while little kids climb up it's branches. That horse is long since glue!

I wonder why the ISD wont lock this thread, as it has evidently served its purpose.
