A Sinner THE MuPPeT FaCTOrY KIA Alliance	Posted - 2008.10.03 23:01:00 - [31] Quote: It's time to have some fun, be admired, and spend money on women, gambling and booze. How much are women being sold for in Iceland and are they any good ? Thanks in advance.

El Yatta Mercenary Forces	Posted - 2008.10.04 00:16:00 - [33] Edited by: El Yatta on 04/10/2008 00:22:21 Every time they post about ambulation they just reinforce the idea that its ONLY pretending to drink online (i.e. the most pointless waste of time I can think of). Is it just me that goes "which of the following can I do in real life: drink beer, walk around, put on clothes, and fly a massive spaceship firing antimatter at another massive spaceship?" and then use that to choose what I want to do on the internet? Is ambulation seriously aimed at the "under 18 with very strict parents and no friends so cannot conceivably drink" demographic? Really? Drinking in stations? There must be somthing more. In about 5 dev blogs, multiple screenshots, debates, dev posts and interviews, not a single actual /feature/ of ambulation has been mentioned, with the tenuous exception of some sort of in-station tactical map/ war room, the use of which sounds dubious. Its literally been billed, for a couple of years now, as just walking around. I'd be happy to take it all back if they come up with an actual game instead, but seeing as combat is already ruled out, and so are using any of the station's services, I doubt it.

Originally by: Bane Glorious MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS Die. I'm kind of tired of the assumption that just because you can't fight, there won't be gameplay. Some people do no fighting at all, some players manage corporations, this doesn't always require flying a ship or fighting. Some people would rather exist in a virtual world, than just play "internet spaceships", for us, EVE is becoming our virtual world, for the rest of you, you can still play "internet spaceships", why all the rage and hate? I just don't understand it at all, it seems so unfounded.
eeeBs Roving Guns Inc. RAZOR Alliance	Posted - 2008.10.04 02:26:00 - [36] Honestly the thing I do the most in eve recently is sit in a station and train skills (thanks BoB, bastards) hang out in corp/alliance chat. It'll be sweet to hang with actual ppl.
MotherMoon Huang Yinglong	Posted - 2008.10.04 05:13:00 - [37] Edited by: MotherMoon on 04/10/2008 05:15:32 walking in stations? ok pretty cool :) presentation on the art of ambulation!?! AWESOME! damn it I wish I had my passport
Jason Edwards	Posted - 2008.10.04 05:34:00 - [38] Originally by: Shadowsword Nice to have lots of dev blogs now. Ya but they dont seem to say anything. Forums Refined: MEH so you changed something but didnt fix the actual problem of no forums ingame. Eve API: Meh whatever. Jita connundrum: Meh we all know it lags. CSM: Ya well the CSM doesnt do anything anyway. Instead of CCP saying NO. It's the CSM aka players who say no to most. StacklessIO: Meh jita lags something about dreams: Meh boring... so some employees of ccp have less hard of a job. Yippee. eve64; oh thats right not actual player related AT ALL. new additions: yaay some vagueness about stuff we already know. Boozing in stations: Yaay walk around in stations and do... oh right well nothing. They will likely do some lame chess minigames or something... but sigh. I'd rather have 1-2 devblogs with something of value in it that actually says something.

I'd rather have 1-2 devblogs with something of value in it that actually says something. You Sir, are more than a bit stupid, aren't you? If you cannot understand what is written in those blogs then you should better shut up. About Ambulation? Well, certainly a nice project but it has trillions of pitfalls and difficulties. We will see how it will work out. Most important question is, how many players are allowed to share the same room? Last time I heard something about it (last year fanfest) it was something like 16 or 32? Or maybe my memory fails me and I mix up things. Another question: will EveTV be there and stream the presentations?

Solomon XI Hoist The Colors.	Posted - 2008.10.04 07:38:00 - [41] Will there be fully nude Gallente strippers in high-definition? If so ... I'm in. =) ~Solo Hoist The Colors. (CEO)
SPIONKOP Caldari Warp Core Tech	Posted - 2008.10.04 08:46:00 - [42] I have only ever been to one Fanfest, the 1st one. They showed a demo of planetary flight. It looked good and had the potentail to add something new to the game. Since then the game has changed so much but as for planatary flight were did it go? Was that 4 years ago? Since then nothing, nada, nil, zero, ziltch, sod all about bringing this into the game. CCP has had some great ideas over the years, some are in game, some have been dropped due to changes in the direction of the game and some have just gone into a black hole. Please tell us if this is still on the cards.
Caiman Graystock Comrades in Construction Anarchy.	Posted - 2008.10.04 08:55:00 - [43] Originally by: SPIONKOP They showed a demo of planetary flight. lol indeed, and I think that would have been a much more exciting addition to the EVE universe. Alas though, I am looking forward to ambulation, having a proper avatar I can wander around with- though Im nervous about how it is going to affect the primary game. I expect walking in stations to be something carebears and newer players do the most- from what I've heard it sounds like only a few empire stations will have it anyway, so anyone who lives in 0.0 will probably be somewhat unaffected.
Boma Airaken Yurai-Tenshin Zaibatsu Celestial Imperative	Posted - 2008.10.04 11:13:00 - [44] Umm yeah. Could you guys stop rubbing shit in the faces of people who a: cant afford to go to fanfest and b: find the idea of freezing their asses off and spending 10 bucks on a beer with a side of putrid shark meat repulsive? its getting really **jing old. Just tell us all whats up for **s sake. The people who can/want to go to fanfest will continue to do so.
Braeriach	Posted - 2008.10.04 11:43:00 - [45] Vitalic is definately a Gallentean. Can we have Pony Pt. 1 on the jukebox please?
Brigsby5987 Caldari 32nd Amarrian Imperial Navy Regiment.	Posted - 2008.10.04 12:13:00 - [46] Originally by: SPIONKOP Not sure the game needs this to be honest. It a bit like the premium graphics, nice eye candy and I bet it looks good on trailers etc but does it add to the game. Nope, it hammers my performance and quite frankly imho it's add nothing to the game. I fear the same will apply to the WIS feature. It will look good but after the initial try out, most people will stay locked in their ship to avoid another "session change in progess". I am sure you folks are putting a lot of effort into it, but not sure Eve needs it. If it hammers your performance get a better pc. If you cannot afford a better pc, get a better job. If you cannot get a better job, get a better education. If you are not smart enough to get a better education, then why are you playing eve anyways? In other words: No excuses. Eve does need this, it will make eve more popular. Popular IS better if you want this game to be around another 5 years. Do not argue, for these facts will never change. Furthermore, I wanted to be at fanfest, but with economic doom looming on the horizon I decided to save my money for a plane ticket (and a few months living expenses) should I need to quickly get my ass out of here. Although if the dollars value crashes im screwed either way _______________________________________ Sig? where. There's no sig here.

Treenara Mazouk Phoenix Propulsion Labs Lost Sheep Domain	Posted - 2008.10.04 13:15:00 - [48] This is going to be sweet!
Clansworth Burning Sky Labs	Posted - 2008.10.04 13:22:00 - [49] Ummm.. yippie.. I guess... What percentage of the paying population will be attending Fanfest? Is there any reason the preview has to be limited to those with way too much time and money on their hands?

Although if the dollars value crashes im screwed either way I would have to disagree with you. Eve does not need eye candy that can only be seen on high end PC's with a single client. Eve needs content. So I can walk around in station. What does that do. Allow me to fight, I doubt it, allow me to trade, I can do that already, allow me to get ****ed, I am sorry but virtual ale does not do it for me. I agree it will make make the game more popular but when the "fun" wears off then I am sure folks will do what they do now. Talk on Vent/TS/Voice and sit in their ship.

Last time I heard something about it (last year fanfest) it was something like 16 or 32? Or maybe my memory fails me and I mix up things. The number mentioned at FanFest was a 64 player cap per room.
QwaarJet Gallente hirr Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2008.10.04 13:26:00 - [52] Still going ahead with the random, pointless eye candy? EVE needs many things, but walking is not one of them.

Originally by: Brigsby5987 Although if the dollars value crashes im screwed either way Get a better job? No excuses, remember? hahahaha :P it will be more popular because people want a person to content to. I know 8 people that would play eve if you could walk around.
Jason Edwards	Posted - 2008.10.04 22:29:00 - [56] Originally by: Gnulpie You Sir, are more than a bit stupid, aren't you? If you cannot understand what is written in those blogs then you should better shut up. My comprehension is quite fine infact. It's just that there's nothing in the dev blog. They dont say anything worth knowing. I'm not going to fanfest. Other then them saying that fanfest people will get information and presentations... which all fanfests are like... the closest thing to information was that you can walk around, drink, and play mini yahoo games. Yipppeee. Either there's information that ambulation wont be totally worthless or this dev blog pretty much says all there is to know. Which is nothing. ------------------------ "There was this bright flash of light - and now this egg shaped thing is on my screen - did I level up?"
DRMALIKIA Rage For Order Nihil-Obstat	Posted - 2008.10.04 23:35:00 - [57] Edited by: DRMALIKIA on 04/10/2008 23:36:37 Originally by: CCP Fallout After reading Eris Discordia's newest dev blog, you are going to want to run, not walk, to this year's Fan Fest. Attendees will have the opportunity to demo walking in stations, but everyone can get a taste of what's to come by reading Eris Discordia's blog here. Glad you guys are working your tails off with WIS. But how about finishing the Trinity Part 2 patch? You know, the whole second half of the new graphics content or did you forget about that? CCP is not focused from what I can see, you gents/gals are all over the board each year with your newfangled "Insert Brainstorming Idea of the Year". How about you complete one task, goal, promise, before moving onto other things? Faction Warfare has been a flop in my opinion and a waste of development time that could have been put to good use elsewhere. Where did the final Trinity update disappear too? I want the rest of the Premium content updated instead of a half ass part premium part classic content we are running on right now. You said you were going to do it so, how about an update or a bone tossed our way please. I link you to the below DEV talking about the second content patch. http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=841600 Posted - 2008.08.07 21:49:00 - [13] - Quote CCP Atlas (DEV Team) "The graphics upgrade that started with the Trinity expansion has not been completed yet and it is a massive multi-stage undertaking. Effects will be completely revamped in an expansion hopefully next year... and it will be awesome." http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=844224&page=2#40 Posted - 2008.08.12 22:17:00 - [40] - Quote CCP Atlas (DEV Team) "Nebula revamp is a part of the ongoing graphics upgrade that started with the Trinity expansion so this is on our schedule...

Sopha Serpentia Core Dynamics	Posted - 2008.10.05 00:14:00 - [58] OH HAI GUYZ Thats how I want to spend my recreation time, living in the same boring hum drum reality I live in now, where I can walk about (without the actual effort of walking) a sound stage from stars wars (or generic sci-fi movie), minus the action and adding a chat window where the art of communication is reduced to a creol of "comedy", abuse and the latest fashion in internet memes.

Well thank God you're only one person. Personally, I know 5-6 people interested in playing EVE, right now, only 2 of us play, the others are holding out for a more immersive experience, which comes in the form of Ambulation. So I can say for me, this is only going to bring more of my good friends in to the game, and I can't see how that's a bad thing. I imagine that many people will find a similar situation with their friends, I wouldn't be surprised to see a 50k - 100k spike in the userbase after this is released, certainly a lot of Ex-SWG players who have held-out. --- EVE Smugglers
Elisa Day Shade.	Posted - 2008.10.05 01:04:00 - [60] Quote: ... Open up the internal release for the Fanfest attendees so that for a few days our internal release will be public! We are really looking forward to showing you how far we have come and that it's starting to look like a real game now. We also want to know just how addictive the mini game is, as we are pretty much hooked on it ourselves. We have high hopes for this project, and we want to see what the players think of it so far. This is not a public beta, or alpha or whatever, because it's still very much in development, but we wanted to share what we have done with the players. "Public" as in meaning everyone can download it and try? Because I interpret this passage as the "internal release for the Fanfest attendees" being instead a "public" release.
