With the developments of late and many good people losing their jobs and at that not the ones responsible for taking EVE to the impasse it faces today is CCP ready to also face the fact that hiring fashionistas and shills to try to turn this game into a fashion simulator is shooting itself in the foot and the ass at the same time.
This is not and will never be Zoolander online no matter how much hellmar likes the feel of lace and garters against his heaving frame. |

was NEX rolled out badly? yes.
was CQ rolled out badly? yes.
were the items in the NEX horribly priced and somewhat ill conceived? yes.
was Incarna something of an incomplete mess with too many competing priorities despite a significant time frame? yes.
is the idea behind Incarna a bad one? no.
Incarna does have a place in eve, but given the significant timeframe allocated to it, it feels like they had one person working on it for the past 5 years. just the one, and they took frequent smoke breaks.
a little more realistically, someone high up who watches a lot of 'vampire hunter D' saw the initial incarna engine trailer with the swishing skirts and said, hey that looks like a good place to start for a vampire game.
if the incarna release had not just been an empty, overpriced closet both within the nex store and the cq released there might have been something there.even so much as a corridor and a big empty room with a window overlooking the undock instanced to a max of 20-50 people at a time. something that doesn't really seem all that unpossible given everything that has been said about the wonderful world of WiS. then it might have been palatable, if not needing a bit of tlc.
instead, we had 1000$ japanese jeans forced down our throats and told they were candy, because who can't afford a little chocolate every once in a while in the middle of ww2 stalingrad? |

Walking in Cupboard =/= space barbie in itself.
Flashing my deliberate lack of space-gold in my face in bright blue every time I check my wallet is as tacky as flashing celebrity crotches at me every time I check the news. Oh god, it's tacky. Scamming your paid customers into doing your marketing work for you, and "rewarding" them by scamming them with free space-gold is tacky.
It's not just the way the wh0re st0re was rolled out with it's $2000 japanese jeans, it's that they are jeans with replicas of hilmar's wang sown into the front. And into the inside of the seat, and then advertised as a cure for cancer. And people still pay for it, and smile. |

Wow, i had to hold my internal breath just to read out that stunningly epic first sentence.
On your keyboard, have a look down at the 'n' and 'm' keys. To the right of them you will find a key labeled ',' and one labeled '.'.
Now that you have learned the location of these keys, it is only a simple matter to begin to use them to turn your epic paragraphs into manageable sentences.
Have fun with your new grammar-enhancing friends, and remember....you can learn something new every day.

Careful, making references to the posterior regions and how that relates to Goons can get you banned from the forums. |

I agree. And if the players could craft those items based upon resources that are dependent upon the existing game then I see nothing wrong with it. I don't like the prices in the vanity store either. Why can't we craft those items?
Or this is just the SWG crafter in me wanting to craft clothes which I see nothing wrong with this ability in Eve Online. I just don't. I just want to see these items crafted by the players for the players. |

Agreed. No more worthless gameplay lacking fluff. The art department needs to get their act together, and get Eve stuff done. Content developers need to put together a plan, and implement it, thoroughly. No more half assed garbage that takes forever to get in the game. |

I have seen to many MMORPG's rush their art and it turns out to be a mistake. This art department is extremely talented. For me, I support quality content over rushed content which in turns equals a solid product. They know what needs to be done. Let the kids be. I just want to craft hawwwwt skirts!!!!  |

I don't think it was ever trying to be a fashion simulator. Just like it's not a planet, production simulator. o.O

To someone who cannot understand the underlying premise of what I said I suppose so. My concern is at this time of change and admonitions of mistakes can we agree that hiring an actual fashion design house to produce nex items was a mistake.
The items are underwhelming at best and I would like to know if it is a sound investment, I want to know if it saves time or effort for the art team that I feel might have a better grasp on the particulars of this universe.
If you have seen videos of hilmar talking about the whole incarna concept and had a chance to see how Zinfandel and company were trying to sell the new character creator and NEX during at8 being it's own fashion house it might raise some questions.

Ultimately it will be good for EVE, once multi-player areas are opened up where avatars can interact with each other.
(There's a good size market out there who love the idea of EVE, including the PvP, but feel too disconnected from their character because the only interaction with other players is over a text chat in the cold darkness of space.) |

Yes. We call them noobs. I took the liberty of adding your name to the list of players who will NEVER, ever, EVER venture into WiS....
And just in case you do I also took the liberty of adding your name to the list of players who will NEVER, ever, EVER wear NeX in WiS either...

To be honest, I would have bought some stuff from the Nex Store if there were actually Establishments and places to hang out and meet other players "in the flesh." But since we just have ourselves in a single room, there is little point buying anything worth showing off.
I would like Establishments to eventually get finished ... but not at the expense of FiS. I look forward to WiS getting finished, slowly and properly. What God Wants, God Gets, God Help Us All |

I love the space game and want it to grow more than anything.
I also have kept Incarna running and used it from day 1 and I think it is kinda cool. It has never overheated my comp but I have to admit the day it was released it pinned my cpu to 100% and then settled down to running at about 85% when not moving, but over time it has improved. Now there is little difference between the CPU from the times I am in space to when I am walking around the CQ. The only difference on my computer is the graphics card fan kicks in. But it does with every avatar game I play.
The big selling point for me was the day I found this video.

I thought to myself Oh **** what have CCP done, I didnt like it one bit. But right at that moment my wife walked by my computer and for the first time in my Eve carreer, she seen me play Eve for years now, stopped and said "hey whats that, that looks cool, is that a game?" I crapped myself. CCP is on to something and I would like to see it complete and I prey it drags my wife in game because all my preaching, screenshots, videos and stories all have failed. |

I am getting this right that people are ripping on the clothing because it fits into the Eve style of art work? Seriously I must be wrong so someone punch me!  |
