I agree that poor content makes a poor game. However, you can't tell me you don't enjoy good graphics.
The graphics in Eve are fine where they are. Ships look good. Explosions look good. Planets looks good. Structures look good.
I don't know how long you've been in the game but when I started in March 2007, the graphics were good then too. They've improved them slightly since then, but the graphics didn't add any extra gameplay as far as I can see.
Quote: The original 'Red Dwarf' is an interesting case. Good writing, original situations. But poor effects were too distracting for me to stick with the show. There are plenty of good stuff with both good writing and good production value. There's only so much time.
There were hardly any effects in it at all. Sure the ones they did use weren't state of the art but the storylines were brilliant. You didn't feel like you were suffering from lack of graphical detail. In fact the writers were good enough to make humour out of the poor graphics when there were any. It was part of the charm of the program. We're digressing here though I guess....
Quote: As for the quality of EVE graphics, the premium content was compelling enough for me to get a dedicated PC to enjoy it. I guess it's like building a high def home theater to enjoy good movies even more. So, CCP, keep them coming!
I upgraded my computer as well, but I think personally I wasted my money.
Quote: Am I too shallow for wanting EVE to look beautiful? Possibly. But then again, I'm not exactly expecting a space MMO to educate me on the meaning of life. What I want is a good looking and engaging entertainment, and EVE delivers so far.
It does for me too. The problem is if you need higher spec PCs to play it then there will be less people playing it.
Quote: But if looks of EVE were to fall too far behind other games, I probably would probably stop logging in. ..... But that's just me.
I can't see them falling far behind with the quality as it right now. Not unless someone suddenly comes out with a 3D game that actually looks like 3D.
cheers

Honestly Shady, to stay competitive in the game market and most importantly, attract new players, CCP believes they have to stay on top of graphics and keep things fresh, it's just good business sense. EverQuest is still around, but it's not growing by leaps and bounds, partly because the game hasn't been freshened up lately. I'm trying to look at this objectively. As a company who has had steady subscriber growth for the past 5 years, I trust them to make the right decisions on how to grow the game, and what will bring in new players.
But as I understand it, for those who don't want premium graphics, or ambulation, you can stick with the classic client, no harm, no foul. Classic EVE for those who want it, and Premium with Ambulation for those of us who want to experience this dark science fiction epic to it's fullest :D

Originally by: Davan Sarn DO WANT.
I'm very much looking forward to this addition, it's one of the primary reasons that I'm back in the game, and 4 people followed me back. This is going to be a roleplayers dream.
One thing I'm still wondering about, and haven't yet found any more info on, is clothing, more specifically, what kind of options will we have, will we be restricted to only our races clothing? bloodline? Will it be tied to a skill (Diplomacy)? Or will we be able to wear whatever we want? This is an important thing for RPers, and I can see all three viewpoints. Personally, I'm for the skill based approach or the everybody can wear everything approach.
The other thing I've been wondering, is weapons. There will obviously be no combat, but I think it was E-ON #6 that mentioned the possibility of decorative weapons to go on the avatars as accessories. I like this idea, I'm just wondering if it'll actually happen or not.
Can't wait to see some videos from FanFest! I'm counting down the days.
"...so yeah, I finally finished Quantum Physics V! But next I am going to switch over to to skilling Buttons and Zippers to III so I can finally put on my new pants. I'm not going to even dream of skilling for Ties, that's a rank 8 skill. I'll just wear a clip on tie, since that'll only take two days once I learn Getting Dressed V..."
I realize you were talking about diplo skills, but skilling to wear clothes sounds positively obsurd to me(and frankly waaay too much like the armor concept).
Perhaps you get certain clothing based on accomplishments (FW). MVP hat. "I Eat <x> Faction For Breakfast" shirt. "I killed and podded <X> 10 times!" knitted sweater.
Maybe epeen ego shirts could be released. "My other Titan is parked outside...".
There could be bondage equipment sold at Minmatar stations to go with the leather suits that so many seem to wear.
Or as a gift (skills for that.. fine, give industrial people the option to work on their closet fashon/trinket fetish)... Rock the "World's Best CEO" mug.
Or it could be location! I heart Jita t-shirts to prove you survived the lag!
I don't know... WiS imo will bring a new feeling to the game, and customization is fine... but if I have to skill for clothing, then I'm just not getting dressed. Straight from the showers to the bar for this guy!
My biggest question is will it run for people with dated or underpowered machines? OR will it be content like the graphic update, only to be used by those with higher end hardware or time to lag about?
Forget tieing it to skills... use standings instead. -----------------------------------------------

I, for one, am really excited for this feature.
It looks like a lot of people don't understand, though, that no matter how much people cry and moan and complain about ambulation, it's still coming.
It's obvious at this point that CCP wants it, and incase people have lost sight of this simple, yet integral fact, I'll say it again: This is CCP's world... the world of their Devs. We're visiting. THEY get to decide what we get. We can ask them to consider things, but in the final straw, if THEY want it, we'll get it.
Also, if you're going to complain about the potential of "being forced to use ambulation" you should really do that "reading" thing I hear so much about and try reading up some information on it. It's best to argue your point after researching it... especially in this case, because you'll quickly find your point of not wanting to be forced into something is completely moot.

I belive EvE wil benefit from implementing the WiS, there are many RP related players screaming for a more social form to comunicate than to look at a face in a chatbox. I am looking forward to see what doors this will open for the RP players. EvE is the moste genius made game I have ever played, but I have missed the posibility to walk around and sctually meet people. Sorry for my lack of flawless writing.

Originally by: clhawks Yes it’s all very exciting but I have yet to hear of an ETA on the first initial release.
Late 08 or early 09 or will it just fade away like Atmospheric Flight.
During or after the Fanfest we will get a bit more info and perhaps even an ETA.
I think we are all arguing over nothing!. In all the interviews, all the forums, all the videos and trailers I have seen, there is absolutely NO information about WHEN this is coming out.
It was first mentioned about 2 years ago and the ETA was around the end of 2008. Well, it is "end of 2008" now and unfortunately, this seems that it will take the same course as Atmospheric Flight.

From the EVE Drawingboard:
Quote: Planetary Governor
The probable first step for planetary interaction, where you can manage planets from a Station or other suitable structure. Planetary Explorer
This would feature flying over planets and interacting with the planetary surface. This will likely follow on from Simple Planetary Interaction. Planetary Commander
Planetary RTS or other hybrid game form. Yarr. The long-term crazy professor phase of planetary interaction.
Some types of planetary interaction have at least found their way to the Drawingboard. Of course, this no guarantee that we will ever see the feature and if it comes it will likely come out, after WiS.

WOW...... I guess that pretty much says what EVE is turning into...
Nice missile nerf Nice speed nerf Appreciate totally ignoring all the complaints about the ghost lies.
I suppose CCP is hiring all the wow employees to handle their PR.
Maybe now with all the actual battle nerfing we can all just walk around in stations wearing PRETTY costumes like WOW.
We gonna be able to cast spells and call on little evil space demons to attack our WTS?
I'm so done with this game. Can't wait until my subscriptions run dry.

The devblog said that attendees of Fanfest would get their hands on WiS. I haven't seen any indication that that actually happened. I downloaded the vids and saw nothing interesting about WiS. Yes, Torfi is an entertaining speaker (when he's not lying through his teeth about unsubbed training), but I'm not paying monthly subscriptions on nine accounts to be entertained by a speaker.
So... what happened to the plan to show off WiS at Fanfest?

As far as I understand it, you did get to test ambulation on the fanfest, but there was a request to not to film/photograph those sessions. Maybe someone who actually visited the fanfest could tell if this really happened or was the promise that was made about it by the female in the torfi presentation also a blatant lie.

I am not doupting the fact that there was a WiS demo at the fanfest. Even if there was though it doesn't say much as to how far is it in production. It could be a simple alpha with just 5 rooms.
The question is.. is this alpha going to turn into a final product quite soon as the promised on several occasions, or are they just using it as a an advertisement.
And just for the record...late 2009 is NOT soon.

Who needs any Graphic enhancement just for the sake of being visually superior? How silly!! I don't use premium graphics either. I also have a monochrome monitor, a B/W TV and if I do watch a movie on video (new fangled geegaws) I watch it on VHS tape. I also have the same clothes since 1983, and never bath or shower. Really who cares about appearance? It doesn't had content to me! I am the same person. I also would never waste money painting my house and am quite satisfied with the looks of my filthy greenish-yellow 1977 AMC Matador, thank you.
So away with this talk of visually enhancing EVE. It looks great to me at 9 FPS!!!

Originally by: james126 sounds fairly dull to me, unless you tell me i can kill people in it.
I concur. Having the ability to waste someone in a station would be fantastic and the only reason I would want to get out of my ship.

Nice to see that the role players secret wishes are being catered for.
Now how about catering for those of us who think that ambulation is only potentially of use if we can use station services, or more importantly, can use ambulation to kill aforementioned role players?
Don't get me wrong, I am genuinely happy for those that get joygasms from taking a game as a facet of real life. I just think that, as EVE is a game that focuses on combat in one form or another (ship to ship/market/alliances/etc), we should have the option of dragging them into a dark alley, and kicking them insensible (and stealing their stuff), just like when they stray too close to low sec or 0.0.
Of course, those of us like me would take no enjoyment from said kickings, it would be just another facet of gameplay to explore, honest!
C'mon CCP, ambulation yes, but functionalambulation, make it useful, not just pretty for the sake of being pretty. And lets face it, if you give people the possibility of a screenshot of their character teabagging someone they can't stand, a lot more people may be inclined to use it.

I'm looking forward to being able to walk through stations. Any ways to customize my avatar with clothing, maybe a different hairstyle and a face job ;) would be welcome. It adds a sense of ownership and gives you more to do than just blast, blast, kill, crash, maim, burn everything smaller than you. If it takes a good PC, so be it.
To a point I agree that we need some more content, like AI in missions, more interesting missions etc, 90% of the players live in the Empire space and they need content. The good news is that this content is coming up as well, so I'm really looking forward to T3 ships, modular ships and new missions. Eve rules!

um has anyone noticed that some peoples corpses are like 300m/3? thats huge! ambulation will only have fat people, not really something i need to see, Ps Speed nerf is waddling, will a Bs pilot only be able to go 93.7 m/s vs a frigate pilot 3km/s? I sort of figure a frig pilot will be slimmer, but its not always true
