I know I am extremely excited about this expansion.
One question that I have, is there a planned release? (I didn't see it anywhere on this thread).
Seems it has been in the works for quite some time, and I heard rumors of a date back during the trinity discussions, but can't seem to find any official info.
So any even "rough" plan (like a specific quarter of 2008 or something)

While performing you still heal. There is a game mechanic reason for people to enter the cantina. There is a game mechanic reason for people to watch you. If there were no game mechanic reasons for people to enter the cantina they would never think to enter past their first curious newb visit. [snip]
since some time now, there is no more mind damage in SWG. :) so people watching us get really nothing except for fun and a show. buffing etc. needs way more player interaction since some "chapters".
sooo, people really come to see us play. thats the incentive. not healing or buffing.

Are you saying EvE has avatars without ambulation? When you say face to face interview new corp members what exactly are you doing?
meeting the applicant "avatar to avatar" at a station, after a short checkup via the "normal" means of communications (chatchannels). the applicant hast to visit the corp HQ anyways to file a application.
sory again, for beeing short atm.

Not sure if this has been mentioned but one thing I'd love to see is the ability to have an apartment/home on a station. Also the ability to walk around inside one's own ship would be amazing.

I rather liked the "atmos" star wars galaxies bars had.
Pre_combat upgrade star wars..
It had music, dancing, drinking...
The bar was a central part of teh game becasue you could listen to a player making music and obtain a boost to you mind stat for around 2 hours. Extra mind stat meant faster money making/skills grinding.
For that reason almost all players would pass a bar meet/greet/figher players.
Twas a ongoing 23/7 social event, until the need to visit the bar was removed, no more boost needed.
The bars were empty places after that...
Point being if the Eve bar is not going to help someone somehow ingame gain greater/faster rewards, they will not frequent the bar.

You know what...instead of makeing these new graphics and ****t you would better focus on the lagg issues and all the other basic problems that the game has. I don't care about these stupid movies if i can't play the game as i should be.

The last thing anyone wants to see is a 100 docked POD pilots, the "Rock Stars" of EVE running and jumping to the war room.
"We're going to WAR!!!"
"Quick Johnson! To the War ROOM!!!"
That may add an element of cheesyness to it (or whatever you want to call it) but it may also be a good thing.. It's very serious flying around in space atm, something i always imagined would be fun!
(the stations could always have a 'disallow jump and/or emote' option.

I want dancing. It would make for a great lollercoster and for extreme luls. On a serious note, I can't wait for ambulation, whether it has dancing or not. Some of the role playing elements it will present will be pretty awesome too and the ability to see your character's full body in itself is awesome.

quick reply: you went to the wrong bars or were prolly on a dead server. :) chimaera, for example, was crowded a month ago, and i doubt this changed till now. right now its prolly more "atmo" then before. :)
back on topic: if an initial incentive is given, the whole thing takes up an own momentum. ah well, we will see when ambu hits. its all just speculation atm.

well, as far as i can see through the 24 page flick through of why we should have and shouldn't have and the "huh?" of ambulation, i cant see why some believe that it's a useless expansion, i can see a whole new way of game play ambulation can bring to eve, there are the role players, and yes it may seem stupid to some for someone to actually meet in a station 20 jumps away, but why not? if your into a full scale RP environment then meeting a new recruit or a ceo of another corp in a station somewhere would obviously bring a new dimension of game play to that catergory of players, but i dont see ambulation as being capped off at RP, has anyone ever thought the possibility of wandering through your hangar? or corp hanger? going into your corporations office and paying bills? heck even wandering around the sation in general, causing trouble and getting jailed or fined for doing stupid stuff, what about the smuggling aspect? anyone stop an thought the possibility of smuggling somthing into stations and "liniarly" (lol) giving it to someone? to me, from what i have seen there is a lot of people who are just focusing and arguing the point of "why walking around stations is pointless", but it could be so much more than that, i think walking around stations in it self could be interesting, why sit there docked now an station spinning while you wait for someone? or just bored coz your camped in? when you could just plainly "walk" around the station environment, but possible pvp aspects could also be explored,consentual fighting? security status areas, 0.0 station rules? concord patrolled stations?,i have a very good imagination and so i can come up with a whole lot more, so why cant all those opposed to it try an think of somethihng they would like?, and as its been stated the ambulation servers will be seperate so the lag in game wont be as bad, so that leaves a whole new type of game play open again doesn't? anyway ive got plenty more i could say, but ill save that for another time, but lastly,
props to CCP, you guys dont get enough credit, thanks for all the releases and the up comers', id love to see waht people would say if you turned and said you will no longer be updating or adding content to eve :) that would be a wake up call eh?
**ok so it got the better of me**
heres another thing...if in station pvp to occur, there would be of course skill training involved, then there would be the weapons, amarr could have lasers, gallente some sort of blaster or drone, caldari explosive style weapons, minmatar a rusty shotgun, lol it leaves a lot to open thought, and then there are the skill cross training just like the usual. perhaps all this makes to be a whole new game style for eve? only time will tell i guess.

With the music in bars thing; why not have a jukebox with the music from EVE and the option to link to EVE radio? And you could also create playlists from mp3 files on your computer?
Oh and make absolutely everything player owned, except maybe a NPC owned room (bar, gathering place, whatever) in the starter stations. |

this is precsisely the attitude that i personally hate to see in EVE, the 'it's no good if i can't cause people problems with it' approach. Can't people like this consider the fact that not everyone is like them?! If you want to cause problems the fine, but allow others to have their non-griefing fun!

1 suggetion..
NEED MORE PLEASURE HUB!!!!!!!!!!! I either want animated stripper where we can set the "fun"factor since most of us are adult or screens with live video streams of stripclubs around the world.
Oh for the female avatars, let the players have control of their "attributes" :)
i guess you could always make a sports bar where you can choose to watch different sports OR watch different fights that happened in eve the previous day/week/month . guess some groups would want their delayed so its not easy to predict where they will be next.
Did i mention strippers?? Could i mention strippers enough? No i think i can mention strippers even more and not be redundant.
Vote YES on strippers in pleasurehubs in 08!

so what your saying is that you want Grand Theft auto in the stations? Im cool with that.
Eve has been a faceless mmo. your ship is unlikely stay the same so there is no true matching an avatar to a gamer. the bio pics are uh....lame. I dont know how many convos i have had in other MMOs,including an mmo-fps where it was avatar face to face. Why? uhh generally how must humans communicate on a basic level.

Not very useful. ;) Have something "racial" added to the way characters express their body language and I'm fine with that;
Minmatar are wary and glance around a lot or something
Gallente are relaxed expressionists 
Caldari stand up straight and look as if they "**** bricks", if you get my meaning ;)
And Amarr... well, nerf their expressions until there is no expression, works perfectly with the other stuff Amarr get

i didnt say i wanted grand theft auto, i was implying about it being open ended, you say about grand theft auto fine, but what about the poeple complaining about ambulation because "ohh we only get to walk around an do nothing booo" your also forgetting that eve isnt like most other mmo's eve has never been a face to face fps-mmo, all im saying is instead of reading the ingredients on the box an complaining about the cookies before they are even made is pointless. heck i probably will only use ambulation once who knows, the fact of the matter is whether anyone thinks its useless or not its not going to affect you personally,and its still going to be there to cater for the other 5000 people that want to use it, and im sure as with eve it self, there will be heaps of content updates an so on, so why not just sit back and wait for it, try it, if you dont like it dont use it, it's a simple concept.

Seriously? Is there any game left in that product? Anyways. You mention momentum in your next post. You're coasting off the time when mind damage and BF forces people into cantinas. There was a game design that encouraged socialization that created the cantina culture. Ambulation lacks this. That's why it's broken.

So you have face to face and avatar to avatar without ambulation. Making the applicant walk to office via ambulation is a nerf over the current system. It takes longer. Eris said you won't have to walk to the corp office you can just do it from the hanger. So why would anyone?

Exactly. Ambu has no incentive. They've said it will be optional which means no incentive is likely possible.

Yes I have. It's the core of the problem with ambu.
Current system: Open wallet. pay bill.
Your proposal: Fly to system with hanger. Walk to office. Walk to bill pay interface. Pay bill.
Why would people spend more time to perform the same action? They might once for novelty.
As for your PvP comments they've already said no fighting in ambu.

No, it's no fighting period. No activity in ambulation other than socialization - that's the plan.
So it's Second Life in space stations, without the ability to obscenely dry hump the other characters in the room.

ah no. i meant avatar to avatar when ambu hits. now its "just" face to face (meaning) normal chatchannels. personally, i would like to be able to meet the applicant avatar to avatar when ambu is live.
mhhh, i guess argueing about this (and paying bills, etc.) with a roleplayer like me and other in this thread using cold facts is a little pointless. RPers and socializers will find incentives where other people find nothing. its a bit like explaining why someone is roleplaying P&P to the coach of a rugby team (very rough and simplified said). its just two different mindsets (which is not bad and by no means an attack on one of the personalities).

I understand the roleplaying aspect. I just think that will be ruined by the 12 year olds who want to dry hump your character (just like they do in Call of Duty).
