James Swindle Caldari Caldari Provisions	Posted - 2007.12.22 19:25:00 - [1] Well with abulation coming at some point next year (hopefully), what does the community think the style of control should be over your avatar. A) Keyboard WASD style controls. B) Point and click style controls. Personally for me it would have to be "A". For the pure simple fact that i think WASD style would allow for greater control over your avatar. And i also think it will lead to less annoying bugs such as people getting stuck on the edge of corners/crappy path finding etc etc.
Tarminic Forsaken Resistance The Last Stand	Posted - 2007.12.22 19:27:00 - [2] I would be fine with A or B honestly. ---------------- Tarminic - 30 Million SP in Forum Warfare Play EVE: Downtime Madness v0.76.2
RigelKentaurus Flying Tartiflette Caldari Deep Space Industral	Posted - 2007.12.22 19:31:00 - [3] C) Text-based, with some grues _________ Someday, EVE might look like this.
Karlemgne Infinitus Odium The Church.	Posted - 2007.12.22 19:31:00 - [4] As a player of many many MMOs and video games, I can say without a doubt... WASD
Grimpak Gallente Trinity Nova	Posted - 2007.12.22 19:33:00 - [5] WASD --- planetary interaction idea!
Kessiaan	Posted - 2007.12.22 19:35:00 - [6] Originally by: RigelKentaurus C) Text-based, with some grues Yes but think of what we would see on the forums. "It said, 'It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.' I tried to move around but I woke up in my clone! WTF CCP!" As for me, I'd prefer both. If it's purely cosmetics it shouldn't really matter. I prefer WASD myself though. ----- My in Eve Profile
Dromidas Shadowmoon Minmatar Storm Legion THORN Alliance	Posted - 2007.12.22 19:38:00 - [7] if its purely cosmetic WASD would be easiest to navigate in a crowded place.. seriously though, ccp is actually planning on doing this? why........? thats a lot of extra crap that just isn't necessary and would probably just make things take longer to do lol..

Yosarian Manth Caldari Divinity Unbound	Posted - 2007.12.22 19:47:00 - [9] In most MMOs you can choose between the two or do both. Why not EVE? ----------
Komen Gallente Trinity Nova	Posted - 2007.12.22 19:48:00 - [10] I expect when ambulation is released, I shall dock at a station of each empire, check out the decor, spec my sexy raiments, and then hop back into the spaceship. As long as I don't sprain my wrists moving around in stations, I'll be happy. /dance ___________________________________ Wielder of the Trout of Doom(tm)! ___________________________________ Redo the Domi hull for Trinity 2.

Niccolado Starwalker Shadow Templars	Posted - 2007.12.22 19:52:00 - [11] Edited by: Niccolado Starwalker on 22/12/2007 19:54:17 Edited by: Niccolado Starwalker on 22/12/2007 19:53:05 Originally by: James Swindle Well with abulation coming at some point next year (hopefully), what does the community think the style of control should be over your avatar.

After 2,5 years of blind loyalty to SWG and SOE choice A where the top which made me leave SWG! And what where a huge part of the failure of SWG following NGE. 2. The reason why I wont play Pirates of the Burning sea. 3. The reason why I wont be playing Age of Conan. EVE is a point and click game. And it should stay that way. It does not matter to me how good a game is. If it have FPS character control only, I dont play the game. I simply loathe it!!!!!!!!! Originally by: Abrazzar OP needs to delete his boot.ini.
Dromidas Shadowmoon Minmatar Storm Legion THORN Alliance	Posted - 2007.12.22 19:52:00 - [12] Originally by: Yosarian Manth In most MMOs you can choose between the two or do both. Why not EVE? Well, we're talking about a game where this sort of thing isn't really a priority, and wasd takes less coding than point and click (point and click requiring navigational code) where as wasd just needs collision detection. If I were ccp I'd just make us all fly around in our pods in the station and just avoid having to use another engine to do it. I doubt they'd hire on a whole new team to do this so that means they'll be taking time away from improving what everyone currently plays the game for, so simple and quick is best.
Surfin's PlunderBunny Minmatar mUfFiN fAcToRy	Posted - 2007.12.22 19:54:00 - [13] Looks like most people want WSAD, who am I to screw with imperfection... Originally by: Tarminic Okay, that's it. You are on the KOS list, and you better pray that I don't have access to a locater agent.
Meiyang Lee Gallente Azteca Transportation Unlimited Gunboat Diplomacy	Posted - 2007.12.22 19:55:00 - [14] either method would be fine for me, it really depends on our options on station, and on the viewpoint we get.
An Anarchyyt Gallente Battlestars GoonSwarm	Posted - 2007.12.22 19:59:00 - [15] Originally by: Kessiaan Originally by: RigelKentaurus C) Text-based, with some grues Yes but think of what we would see on the forums.

If it's purely cosmetics it shouldn't really matter. I prefer WASD myself though. Throughout our long and tumultuous history, the more adventurous people of Zork- those daring enough to go wandering into the dark and uncharted regions of our realm, have been burdened by a constant danger. That being the irrepressible threat posed by a ravenously predatory called the grue. Dwelling exclusively in the darkest of darkness, no one has ever actually seen a grue. But judging by the extreme dearth of brave and adventurous souls in our land, it is obvious that their menace has taken its toll on the populace. Since they were first discovered, many have sought ways to keep grues at bay. The Frobozz Magic Company created a spray-on substance called Froboz Magic Grue Repellent. This managed to do the job well enough, albeit for a matter of about thirty seconds. But Adventurers needed something that would last through an entire day. It was later declared by the Surgeon General of Greater Borphee, that the best way to avoid being eaten by a grue was to simply abstain from wandering into the darkest of dark places. But if one felt the undying urge to do so, they should make every attempt to bring some light-bearing object with them for protection, such as a lantern. Many Adventurers, however, still wouldnÆt listen. In the hopes of finding a new way to keep from being eaten by a grue that will satisfy those who refuse to carry lanterns, I am submitting this very work. It has come to my attention that in the many attempts to cheat death while in the clutches of a grue, no one has ever tried distracting it with a nice, long, potentially sleep-inducing story. In my search for an adequately dreary topic, I have chosen to write about the history of our world, from its earliest beginnings to the present day. (1) So if you do choose to go adventuring, and you find yourself in the clutches of a grue, seconds from being eaten; try pulling out this text and reading it. (2) And please let me know how it turns out. Note: In the above circumstance, it would probably be a good idea to skip this introduction.

Karma Gallente Vortex Incorporated	Posted - 2007.12.22 20:00:00 - [16] I'd have to say WASD. if you want the most freedom in controlling a character in a three-dimensional space, accept no substitutes. there have been some games with poorly implemented movement in the past... walk towards door. BUMP. damn door-frame. go backwards two steps. turn 5 degrees to the side. walk forward, yay I'm in! turn 2.5degrees to the other side. keep walking. point'n'click alß Diablo might work too... but it's usually a bad idea to have it in a 3d game.
Crumplecorn Gallente Eve Cluster Explorations	Posted - 2007.12.22 20:00:00 - [17] WASD with cruise control. - DesuSigs
Kharadran Sullath Caldari Digital Fury Corporation Digital Renegades	Posted - 2007.12.22 20:02:00 - [18] Edited by: Kharadran Sullath on 22/12/2007 20:02:20 Originally by: Niccolado Starwalker Pro-point-and-click-stuff How many mmo's use point and click style controls? WASD is simple and gets the job done, what more can you ask for? We need not needlessly alienate EVE further from the rest of the MMO market. WASD comes natural to most gamers, and there is no point in not including it. Also, if you cba, please explain what other control system you would implement in AoC, as well as how, considering the nature of its combat. Thank you. ------ Originally by: Graveyard Tan I call bull** and troll. If you are deaf**, how are you even able to read this or type replies?

Andrest Disch	Posted - 2007.12.22 20:06:00 - [20] Edited by: Andrest Disch on 22/12/2007 20:06:23 Anyone got any videos of this ambulation? What point is it going to have? Or is it just to give excess players a place to stay now that the server is filling up with more and more people? Edit; I prefer WASD. Runescape- Never again.

Diablo 2 if you could that, and Lineage 2 (and 1 I think) use point and click. I dont care what other games prefer. I just dont want to have to get my hand hurt again from the WASD controls. Not only do my wrist hurt from it, but I had to see the doctor too at one accation! Never again! I would rather leave EVE! Personally I dont feel you have more control over it. And Personally I feel I have full control with the mouse. Point and click is easy way of navigating, and you have periods of inactivity of controls when the character are moving between A and B. with WASD you need to hit/hold down the keys all the time, making more pressure on your hand and wrist then by simply pointing to a position and hitting click. I can accept though if both system controls where integrated and free to choose. Only WASD controls would make me leave - No matter how much I love EVE - And I do!! Again: EVE is a point-and-click game allready! I see no reason to change it!!! Originally by: Abrazzar OP needs to delete his boot.ini.
Cpt Branko The Bloody Red	Posted - 2007.12.22 20:17:00 - [23] Originally by: Dromidas Shadowmoon Ahh, the sad story of someone who never set A and D to be strafe left/right :P Wait, there is something else except strafing left/right? Rifters!
Abrazzar	Posted - 2007.12.22 20:23:00 - [24] I'd say WASD. Because it eliminates the need for (always buggy) pathfinding routines.
Dromidas Shadowmoon Minmatar Storm Legion THORN Alliance	Posted - 2007.12.22 20:24:00 - [25] Originally by: Cpt Branko Originally by: Dromidas Shadowmoon Ahh, the sad story of someone who never set A and D to be strafe left/right :P Wait, there is something else except strafing left/right? A lot of the old school games (90's) used A and D to be 'look left' or 'look right' as default for some reason.

Ahh, the sad story of someone who never set A and D to be strafe left/right :P I was talking about games that DON'T HAVE strafing. most game developers have wisened up in the last ten years, but there are still series, like Resident Evil that don't have strafing, or make you hold a button to strafe.

Karma Gallente Vortex Incorporated	Posted - 2007.12.22 20:28:00 - [28] Originally by: An Anarchyyt Do you really ever expect better from Console ports? I expect console-developers to get character movement right, just about as much as I expect a space-simulator-developer to get it right. which means we're screwed.

It does not matter to me how good a game is. If it have FPS character control only, I dont play the game. I simply loathe it!!!!!!!!! I've got to agree with you on this. The simple hold down a mouse button and move in the direction of the cursor was elegant to use and to watch. No jerky movement, no Benny-Hill headache inducing direction changes and it only took one hand to move. But, in the gaming world, FPS controls seem to be the only thing devs understand so I imagine thats what we will get.
Peter VonThal Raygun Technologies	Posted - 2007.12.22 20:36:00 - [30] I'd prefer: B) Point and click.
