Besides. You can't T-Bad your enemy with a spaceship.

Look after their leader and biomass him in his CQ. Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.

Well that was constructive.

Personally I think that dust514 is going to increase the demand for avatar related gameplay in EVE. Simply because dust players will come to EVE who are used to avatars. And also because EVE players will see how much fun dust players are having with their avatars.

That's how mining works in X3 games; asteroids are either too big to break so you build a mine on them, or are small and then you fire with a mining laser to break them into smaller chunks and collect them.*


*You can too set up a mining ship to do that off-sector with the appropiate autopilot software.

Off-topic - a few hours ago, this thread was 216 pages long. Now it is down to 215 again.

From the time of fanfest there have been stealth erased around 10 pages of posts and 2 pages have been erased with dev comment.

And before that there was deletion of posts in this thread too.

Anyone OCD enough to keep logs of this forum wanna wanna fill us in on what those missing pages were?

I also stated what do I think of most griefers in the game and how CCP wrongfully caters to them, and how EVE is extremely slanted in favor of unconsequential bullying.

sorry, can you eloborate on this a bit

You do realize that having ps3 exclusive allowed CCP to bend over Sony instead of the other way around. This move may also bend over Microsoft begging to have dust 514 and having that done would allow steam to be on xbox 360 as well.

dont think M$ was cool with having a microtransaction system they couldnt get a slice of and Sony is desperate

Sounds just like M$ arrogant bastards will rue the day they rejected dust 514.

As some of the post erased were mine, I can tell you. I was talking about how WiS could be used for wars by allowing a wardecced player to murder the CEO of the wardeccing corp, taking advantage of the authocratic nature of EVE corporations and adding a true risk to abusing other players.

lol?

Sorry, but this wont be the next Halo.
Unless you play EVE its just another faceless FPS, just one you pay real money for equipment and ammo. Thats a detraction to me not a benefit btw

Question about the new character skin tones that will be released with Inferno

http://community.eveonline.com/en/inferno/features/

Will we have the options to change the complexions on characters that we already created?
Will we have the options to change body changes (ie plastic surgery) for already made characters?

Anyone know? If a dev could comment it would be nice.

to answer your questions:
- as far as i know
- as far as i know

- i kind of know, but i'm not 100% (and I'm also not sure if the new skintones will be in Escalation, I'll ask some people tomorrow).

Indahmawar, I think she would get a free resculpt too.

It's great to see that you guys are so interested in the characters and their outfits, but just remember that we are focusing now on "FiS" and we are not making any new assets for the characters right now.

Funny you say that, Halo was labeled as such back in the day when nobody ever took console shooters seriously.

In retrospec Medal of Honor had truely horrendous controls. Halo was labeled last gens most underhyped successful game ever.

Please tell me youre joking if you actually think Dust 514 will equal Halo in success

(....)


Focus on FIS ok good thing.

but what is Team Avatar actually doing at the moment, Avatar or WIS related ?
Nothing?

indahmawar and oldbut stop whining.

Huh, I should check my memory, but as far as I recall, sleeve tattoos and racial blending are the last leftovers of Incarna that don't require assistance from the art team. I guess the Collections fit into the same cathegory as the unreleased NEx assets, i.e., The Unspeakable, so we won't get any news on that front until CCP determines what to do with the NEx.

So, my guess is that there's not much left for A-Team to do after Inferno unless CCP reactivates the NEx, or the art team already had finished some CQ modules before changing course.

(Of course they may continue prototyping dungeon raiding and other gameplay, but, we know that's not a full time job)

Please tell me youre joking if you actually think Dust 514 will equal Halo in success

Dust will only be successful in the EVE community ,outside the community only until the next shooter
if not i will make an apology letter on these forums were i promise not to play for 30 days(will not happen)

Im just saying both games are fighting the same uphill battle.

Do Team Avatar is really prototyping ?
They don,t show us much
Their QA shows us she doesn,t even know what TA is working on.
As far i can tell Team Avatar is only in name dedicated to the stuff ,they said they would work on.
They say they prototype ,let them show what that means and i don,t mean some video made in somebody,s kitchen.

Am I the QA who doesn't know what we are working on?
Of course I know what we are working on! I'm even adding the skincolors to the character creator myself.

We are working on the skincolors, but when I wrote this, I was not sure we would have everything ready before Escalation (and we have now decided not to rush it too much and release it in Inferno), and we had talked about giving people resculpts, but I didn't want to make any promises until I had confirmed it with our product owner. (maybe I should add that I'm the only programmer from our team who is working on the skincolors).

And our team is really prototyping, but the prototype is not in a state where we can share with you guys right now. The people who came to our roundtable at Fanfest saw a video of us playtesting an early prototype
