Jenny Spitfire Caldari	Posted - 2007.11.20 20:14:00 - [1] Greetings Community. I have got an idea for game enhancement with ambulation. In this thread, we all must recognize ambulation is a big content upgrade and it has potential to in-game enhancement. We must also recognize farming is out of hand in-game and sinking ISKs is a continuing necessity to economy. Lastly, we must agree eVe is a virtual world. I propose the following enhancement to gameplay. Add a health/food bar that will go down when a player is using that toon and make it so the toon will go hungry every hour and needs food. Eating food will cost ISKs and replenish health/food bar. Failure to replenish health/food will temporary reduce player skill level at random. It means skills will be picked randomly from the list of unlocked skills for that toon and hunger penalty is applied. Players can only buy and eat food at stations. Key features. Players will need to use ISKs to buy food at stations. Players will have to use ambulation features. Farmers can't keep farming without rest and cloak. Buying food will cost ISKs according to the toon's skill points. What do you the community think? --------- Technica impendi Caldari generis. Pax Caldaria! Kali is for KArebearLIng. I 100% agree with Avon. Female EVE gamers? Mail Zajo or visit WGOE.Public in-game.
Bluefix Gnu Terror Corps	Posted - 2007.11.20 20:17:00 - [2] I think I speak on behalf of most of the community when I say, we don't want to spend half our time ingame eating and drinking just to sustain our characters. Eating and drinking is fine. Just don't make it a necessity.
000Hunter000 Gallente Magners Marauders	Posted - 2007.11.20 20:18:00 - [3] Erm, more things to do while in station is good but, paying for food? health/foodbar? erm... No??? I would like to see games and stuff, have a bar and something where u can watch the news (imagine screens in station showing u eveTV hehe) but lets not get overboard here. CCP, let us pay the online shop with Direct Debit!!! Magners is now recruiting, evemail me or Dagazbo ingame.

RigelKentaurus Flying Tartiflette Caldari Deep Space Industral	Posted - 2007.11.20 20:27:00 - [5] Even shuttles could carry 10m3 of sandwiches, I wonder how many days one could live with that without docking. _________ Someday, EVE might look like this.
Haks'he Lirky Dominion Imperium	Posted - 2007.11.20 20:28:00 - [6] I dont want to be forced to use ambulation features.
Xaroth Brook Minmatar Doomcraft Mech Ops Syndicate	Posted - 2007.11.20 20:33:00 - [7] Jenny, be glad you can't kill people with spoons in ambulation, else i would have sporked you to death for making such a stupid suggestion. Ambulation (as said in the gazillion shows on fanfest) won't be forced on players.. if they don't want em, they don't need em.. then why suggest stuff that requires people to use the system? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Xaroth Brook CEO Doomcraft -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Look ma, my sig is too good to be highjacked by the mods
Plutoinum German Cyberdome Corp Cult of War	Posted - 2007.11.20 20:41:00 - [8] Edited by: Plutoinum on 20/11/2007 20:42:32 This: Originally by: Bluefix I think I speak on behalf of most of the community when I say, we don't want to spend half our time ingame eating and drinking just to sustain our character. Eating and drinking is fine. Just don't make it a necessity. Then we have people like this: Originally by: Haks'he Lirky I dont want to be forced to use ambulation features. When Ambulation is coming out, it starts as an add-on to the existing game, not as a core feature. It needs some time to convince some old players to adapt to it and like it, I think. Best way is not to do it by force and implement mandatory stuff that people won't like, but by making it so cool that people use ambulation, because they like it. Ofc I hope that ambulation grows into something really cool and becomes a core part over time and gets better and better.

The Herrick Gallente Eve University Ivy League	Posted - 2007.11.20 20:56:00 - [10] No. Why? Because unless I'm mistaken (I probably am) you need a Graphics card capable of doing the new graphics in order to use Ambulation and I lack such a card. In fact I'm surprised eve runs on my computer at all. Even if I could use Ambulation I'd rather it was an optional choice not a required task.
cal nereus Perkone	Posted - 2007.11.20 20:59:00 - [11] Edited by: cal nereus on 20/11/2007 20:59:10 No thank you. I already have too much stuff to pay isk for and pay attention to. The only people who want/need isk sinks are a small fraction of rich non-PvPers. Figure out an optional isk sink just for them, and then I'll be really interested. I always though planet colonization might solve that... Edit: And besides, my graphics card can't support ambulation. I won't be able to use it even if I wanted to. --- Join BH-DL Skills
Skye Cloud Waylander 01	Posted - 2007.11.20 21:00:00 - [12] hi. face it the only thing walking in stations can really be made interesting is either - 1. strip bars 2. counter strike style station storming once you have knocked down the shields. just imagine storming the various rooms to knock down shields to key system areas, the final stand and sence of victory as you destroy your opponent face to face. beyond that any character logging in after the capture could have a chance at internal espionage behind the lines. love sc x

Chinua Suren Minmatar Republic Military School	Posted - 2007.11.20 21:12:00 - [14] Originally by: Jenny Spitfire snip What do you the community think? Utter rubbish. I won't be using ambulation and since I'm a POD pilot I don't need any stinking bowls of soup. I honestly think you made one of the worst suggestion I've seen in a week. And on the EVE boards that says a lot. Nothing personal but your idea was, to me, lousy. --- None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free. û Goethe

Of course it should not be in the ******** fashion of us doing it. Rather we could use soldiers that we unload once the shields are down. I currently have a bunch of marines and extremists sitting in my hangar and it would be nice to find a use for them ;) --- None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free. û Goethe
Neutrino Sunset KDM Corp Firmus Ixion	Posted - 2007.11.20 21:19:00 - [16] Do you think we could get the word 'toon' added to the profanity filter please? I don't even know what it means but it makes me shudder every time I read it.
Taelech Caldari ViperCorp VENOM Alliance	Posted - 2007.11.20 21:23:00 - [17] Also no. The only thing I want in my ambulation is a casino. Taelech - Professor emeritus - Caldari Business Tribunal School of Law

Buying food will cost ISKs according to the toon's skill points. What do you the community think? What's going on ? You lost your tamagotchi and now you want to turn this game into "Sims online in the space" ? Maybe we could also open shops and services like beauty salons, dry cleaners, delicatessen stores, etc... Dear Jenny, I don't know why, but I've this fuzzy feeling that I could perfectly see you spending the whole day highly focused on choosing the color of your nail polish from a tone chart found in the last "Marie Claire" while your fetishist pekingese agonizes from an overdose of compulsive self-abuses with your foot...
Haks'he Lirky Dominion Imperium	Posted - 2007.11.20 22:10:00 - [19] Originally by: Plutoinum some well said stuff I agree with you to a certain extent, but Ambulation will be fluff, it will provide no pew pew, it will provide no added value to the reasons why I play this game. If it will create other reasons for me to play this game then fine, but until then it's just marketing fluff that doesn't concern met at all. But yeah, don't force anyone to use fluff.
THX 1138 D00M. Triumvirate.	Posted - 2007.11.20 22:22:00 - [20] No thanks Jenny - I play this game for fun. And my pod-goo sustains me just fine thank you. Another layer of logistics, even if it's health food, is the last thing I need.

Ho HsienKo	Posted - 2007.11.20 23:27:00 - [22] Edited by: Ho HsienKo on 20/11/2007 23:29:23 OMG I actually started reading this and then I realized it was Jenny and stopped ; ] I petition for a "Block" function when reading the forums so people can filter out posts started or comments by people they never want to hear their views on things.

Neon Genesis The Landed Gentry	Posted - 2007.11.20 23:41:00 - [24] Originally by: Jenny Spitfire OP This is an absolutely horrible idea and would greatly reduce the quality of gameplay for every player. Why even suggest it? _
Ilvan	Posted - 2007.11.20 23:42:00 - [25] Originally by: Jenny Spitfire Players will need to use ISKs to buy food at stations. No Quote: Players will have to use ambulation features. NO Quote: Buying food will cost ISKs according to the toon's skill points. Quote: What do you the community think? I think I'd rather gargle bleach.
Vanessa Vale	Posted - 2007.11.20 23:44:00 - [26] I approve of this idea. As long as I can salvage the bodies of my enemies and roast them for dinner.
Jenny Spitfire Caldari	Posted - 2007.11.21 09:05:00 - [27] Well Neon Genesis, it would sink ISKs and make it harder for macroers to farm. :) And most importantly, everyone would get to use new contents. Like they say, if you don't use it, you'll lose it. I like this game and upgrade and it would be kind of the sad to see it go away or not further developed if nobody uses it. e-voice is an example. :s --------- Technica impendi Caldari generis.

Akita T Caldari Navy Volunteer Task Force	Posted - 2007.11.21 09:14:00 - [28] Originally by: Jenny Spitfire make it harder for macroers to farm Explain to us like we're idiots why this would be the case. You know, in some implementation that is NOT totally obnoxious for the AVERAGE EVE player either. C\|S\|I\|N\|x.
Freddy Kuger Snakes in a Pod.	Posted - 2007.11.21 09:19:00 - [29] No, and here's why this will never happen: 1. the devs have already said they don't want ambulation to be something you have to do 2. the pod tech gives you all the stuff you need to live, and so you're idea doesn't fit in with the RP aspect 3. it's just stupid
Plave Okice Contraband Inc. Mercenary Coalition	Posted - 2007.11.21 09:22:00 - [30] Originally by: Haks'he Lirky I dont want to be forced to use ambulation features. This, Eve is internet spaceships, I play to fly internet spaceships, if people want to wander round stations as their choice fine, let them, but do not force it on people. Originally by: Neutrino Sunset Do you think we could get the word 'toon' added to the profanity filter please? And this.
