Rodj Blake Amarr PIE Inc.	Posted - 2008.07.03 15:20:00 - [1231] Originally by: Thargat If they name it something better than "walking in stations", like "crawling from bars" or "limping from battles".... I'm ok with it. Ambulation? Isn't that what you do on your way to the hospital? "Internet walking" Dulce et decorum est pro imperium mori.

There is an absolute crap ton of potential with Ambulation. There really is. __________________________ Fear me for I have an insatiable appetite!

Will women have a massive H-cup rack or will things actually be normal for once and showcase Triple-Ds? shudders at the thought __________________________________________________ Originally by: CCP Wrangler No Doh!

Will women have a massive H-cup rack or will things actually be normal for once and showcase Triple-Ds? shudders at the thought I'm hoping for normal sized breasticles, I know that there have probably been huge advancements in cosmetic surgery and whatnot but I think things should be kept normal. They probably will be as well, as CCP are supposed to be trying to attract more women into the game after all.
Chadley Bradley Gallente Federal Defence Union	Posted - 2008.07.03 18:37:00 - [1236] Originally by: Slanty McGarglefist Will women have a massive H-cup rack or will things actually be normal for once and showcase Triple-Ds? How "normal" are triple-Ds where you're from? Meanwhile, I'm personally excited about Ambulation as well. Say what you want, but it's hard to connect with your character when you can never see him, and I think the game is probably missing alot of great players because of that. Sure, it's probably missing alot of idiot players too, but whatever, it's the internet. EVE is still a mature enough game that most idiots won't be able to sustain interest. And the idea of Ambulation and it's implementation is by NO means meaningless. To those of you mad that more man-power isn't being used to nerf those meanie-heads who podded you, ambulation doesn't have much more than a social point now, but consider where it could take the game in the long run--I'm talking years. I can imagine (and many others have imagined) a completely different face to the game--one that would add an entirely new level of depth to the universe. Walking in stations is the first step to walking on planets, flying on planets, fighting on planets, etc, etc. Sure many people are content with what we have now, but why wouldn't you WANT that depth if it's offered to you, not necessarily to participate in yourself if it's not your cup of tea, but just to know that your game is evolving beyond what most MMOs can only dream of becoming? Nothing anyone has said against Ambulation has made the least bit of sense to me on anything other than the most selfish level. -Chadley
Ultin Harvor	Posted - 2008.07.03 19:42:00 - [1237] I've just had a thought; with the salute emotes can we have different types of salute? Not everyone on earth salutes the same so the different races within New Eden wouldn't all salute the same either. I imagine that the different bloodlines would have different salutes as well as they have different homeworlds.

Ryoji Tanakama Caldari Daikoku Fleet Shipyards	Posted - 2008.07.03 21:32:00 - [1239] Why do people keep spouting the same negative misinformation about ambulation with so many pages of corrections to educate them of the truth? This is general however, so I should not be surprised.

MentaFox The Chaotic Order Void.	Posted - 2008.07.03 22:01:00 - [1241] Originally by: CCP kieron There are a number of threads that have cropped up discussing the Ambulation trailer from the Game Developer's Conference spotlighted by those fine folks over at Ten Ton Hammer. In an effort to consolidate the discussion into one thread (and prevent any "OMG, not another thread!" replies, of which I am sure someone will say the same to me ), I'm posting and stickying this thread. In regards to the video itself, here's a sequence of events. The room where the video starts with the Amarr female and Caldari male is a map room. One of a number of functions will be that of a 'war room', where corporation officers will be able to use the map as a sort of white board for planning attacks. There is a hallway with a nice water effect to the sides of the pathway. The second room (or third scene) is a meeting chamber. Depending on corporation resources and the type of station (among other factors), the decor can be changed. You could consider the Gallente female a corporation recruiter in this shot. There is another hallway transitioning to the docking bay. The docking bay itself is designed with an eye at trying to give the scope of just how big EVE ships are. After boarding the ship (an off-screen event in the video), the Zealot leaves the station and you can see the increased detail on the surface of the station. There have been some recent Dev Blogs with static images, now you can see one in the EVE environment. Other information: Those players that do not wish to interact with the full-body avatar aspect of the game will not be forced to do so, a la the now defunct Earth & Beyond and their station interface. In-station servers will be seperate from the space servers, so there will be little (if any) lag introduced into the other environment. A high quality download will be available in the future, no time frame as of yet. Enjoy! I highly endorse this product and/or service. ----------------------
Pohbis Neo T.E.C.H.	Posted - 2008.07.03 22:06:00 - [1242] You get "Ambulation" so they can test their engine for WoD. Don't like it, don't use it. I think it's great and it allows for a great deal of backstory and atmosphere to be added. 90% of EVE happens outside of battles. A big chunk of that in stations, tied to your hangar. I for one would like to jump in and play a round of ISK poker with my buddies, instead of idling around and logout bored when nothing is going on. Can't help but think that a lot of the resistance towards Ambulation is from people afraid of loosing their prey/slaves/renters/noobs to more fun activities than being cannonfodder or a mindless drone... well, adapt and make your preferred playstyle fun for others as well and they might undock and play with you. I don't see "walking in stations" as being any different than "trading in stations 23/7" and nobody with a clue about EVE is asking for the economy to be removed...

Alias fighter	Posted - 2008.07.04 00:08:00 - [1247] Originally by: Ultin Harvor Originally by: Alias fighter This is an MMO space conquest game, it is not 'the Sims'. 'walking in stations' is not something i would find very appealing at all. Why do people keep saying this? Of course it's not 'The Sims', we don't have to keep our avatars happy, we don't have to get them jobs and then stare at the empty house. Yes we will be able to buy clothes and whatnot, but by no means is this 'The Sims'. Far from it in fact. Can you go and blow people up in 'The Sims'? Can you build huge ships in 'The Sims'? Can you contest and own space in 'The Sims'? No, you cannot. So in conclusion.....EVE != 'The Sims' and it never will be. lol, this is my point exactly; In eve we can make massive space ships and fly them, we can take 'control' of space , we can also fight for that space or just for fun, thats the way i like it. To me, all this 'click and giggle', 'look at the shhiiinnneeey lights on my ship when its in the hanger', 'ooohh i can play poker' is B&$S#@t, if that is what appeals to you, there are many games out there like 2nd life, sims etc. Eve has a really great mature player base and would be sad to see this whittled down by ambulation attracting alot of 'click and giggle' type players (this may not happen but it's likely) The header on this page you are viewing says "EVE ONLINE, The worlds largest game universe", Ambulation in my eye's won't be helping to spread ppl out over this massive universe, who want's to ambulate in a low sec station etc that gets max 10 visitors a day. In my opininion all the ppl who'll wan't to ambulate will congregate in a few central systems anyway, clogging up the servers, again. I think the precious dev hrs can be spent on way more useful content, i really liked the idea of Empyrean age, it gets ppl in spaceships conquering space and other ppls spaceships, wich essentially means getting ppl enjoying/useing "The Worlds Largest Game Universe" No doubt tho, my fellow forum readers will try to prove me wrong and i hope CCP does prove me wrong. If i ever see that header change to "EVE ONLINE, The worlds most fluffiest cutesy interactive space game " Im out!
Batlovod GoonFleet GoonSwarm	Posted - 2008.07.04 00:18:00 - [1248] What the christ it took me 14 days to train Gallente Handguns 5 and Hand Eye Coordination 5 for the good tracking. Now I just need to get Running to 4, Stamina Regeneration to 4, and maybe invest in some faction body armor.
Wen Jaibao Soul Ripper Consortium	Posted - 2008.07.04 05:07:00 - [1249] Wow. That trailer made me O.o at the size of the omen at the end. I always knew ships in EVE were huge.. but it didn't really hit me until now.

If i ever see that header change to "EVE ONLINE, The worlds most fluffiest cutesy interactive space game " Im out! I think that you are missing my point. We use the same arguments but for different reasons, in a nutshell I am saying that because EVE is so different from 'The Sims' that no matter what they do to EVE, it will never become like 'The Sims'. Now I know that someone will come back and say 'oooh what if they make it so you HAVE to eat or you die?!' but my answer to that would be that CCP are not that stupid, you cannot have perma-death in an MMO or you will lose at least half of the player base. Keeping with the 'CCP are not stupid' theme; the team handling Ambulation are professionals. They have professional architects and costume designers for christs sake! Now that is commitment! Torfi and others have already said again and again, that there will be NO silly emotes. Just cool emotes, like saluting for example. I know that people have said (and I agree with them) that EVE is a mature game, and immaturity has no place among our ranks. But everyone has a level of immaturity, and they should be allowed to indulge that. Now I'm not saying that we should have pink, wobly avatars or anything before someone flies off the handle, but you WILL be able to get your characters wasted and fall about. This isn't immature per se but if it becomes abused LOLZ(sorry had to lolz at the thought of everyone drunk in Jita 4-4) I'm sure that CCP will do something, like confine you to your quaters until you sobre up enough, not totally but enough. And now back to my original point, EVE will not become 'The Sims' because of Ambulation, due to the above reasons. I have complete faith in CCP to get this right, and I would probably be willing to face a delay for them to make it right. But if they don't get it out by Winter

CCP Eris Discordia	Posted - 2008.07.04 11:49:00 - [1254] A lot more information will be given at fanfest this year, you should really come to fanfest if you are interested in Ambulation. It¦s nice to see that some people are really looking forward to Ambulation and realise we will expand on it for years to come, like the rest of eve really Pink Dread has been hijacked

Dr Axler The Dead Parrot Shoppe Inc.	Posted - 2008.07.04 12:25:00 - [1255] Edited by: Dr Axler on 04/07/2008 12:25:18 i think i read somewhere that you can hire npcs which will be programmable to a certain extent so you will be able to use them in front of your bar and so on. i think it was also mentioned that at first ambulation itself will be quite empty, and that players will have the chance to evolve it. I'm thinking a huge 3d hologram room where you can see the alliance tournament first hand. scale the ships, copy the coordinates, and put them into the ring, say its a 3d hologram and you'll get allot of people puring in to watch

Since a few Devs already mentioned (heavy?) industry-updates for the winter expansion, i already lost my hope for ambulation this year :) Anyway, Science & Industry did indeed need an overhaul/some love, so thats fine with me.
Pushtan Ministry of Destruction Southern Cross Alliance	Posted - 2008.07.04 14:46:00 - [1258] Can i just say, having scanned through almost all of this lot... B1FF - you know Ambulation is coming, you know its gonna be implemented, and you knows going to be used, so why troll the people who are phsyched about it? they want it, i want it. /drcox Cus heres the deal, barbera. Its OPTIONAL, therefore WHATEVER your post here is completely irreclevant...all those hours reading and typing - pointless. And why? because you DONT HAVE TO USE IT....itll be a patch, just like FW, people will use it - enjoy it, and use it when they feel bored/waste some time after the inital period. Obviously RP'ers will get a great benefit from it, but all that crap about ''its nerfing what we already have'' is complete crap! You will still play the game exactly the same, and i suspect when people just need to do things, like dock, repair and undock again - theyre going to!!! You'll dock, rep, undock....not all the balls about 'dock, walk to rep station, engage it, wait, climb back in ship, undock'...jesus, you are overplaying the time aspect here... hell i dont even care if hes not watching the thread anymore...i just needed to show him his point is invalid, because WHATEVER he says - its NOT going to affect him, besides a patch day...plain and simple, thats undeniable like it or not... So in conclusion, NICE trolling, really - you got a lot of peoples backs up there, including mine, but just TRY and see it from both sides of the table - not just 'its gonna slow everything down bawwwwww cus its not. Troll that.
Korizan Oort Cloud Industries Ultionis Quietus	Posted - 2008.07.04 15:25:00 - [1259] Personnally I can't wait for it and as others have said some different to do @ times. People do get burned out on the none stop wars and life in space from time to time. This will give you an option other then logging off. As far as people that are totally against it. Well as the ambulation is supposed to be on different servers. However I can see one thing happening and CCP you better be ready for it. 0.0 / Lowsec. I for see @ times 99 % of an alliance docking in stations and going into ambulation. Why, setting a trap for enemy fleets by letting the scouts find mainly empty systems. Not that I can see it being a common occurance but...
Centurian Blade Amarr Imperial Academy	Posted - 2008.07.05 12:49:00 - [1260] Is there an estimated realease date for this yet?
