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.

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".

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.

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.

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.

Originally by: Deviana Sevidon

Pyramid Quoting is bad, okay?

Besides, what should CCP do? Stop developing any content, because some whiners, say so? Lag is indeed for the most part caused by player behavior and while I appreciate any changes made to reduce lag, I also have to acknowledge that Lag cannot be fixed that easily, as some people claim here.

Besides there is a good reason why I want Ambulation and why I waited years for something like that.

The Game I want to see one day is a game where players cannot only blow up spaceships, but also can interact with each others on a station. Yes there will be not much at the beginning but CCP can easily expand from there.

How about some kind of first or third person shooter, integrated in the game. Conquering Outposts and Boarding Enemy Ships with an Assault Rifle in your hands?

Or from the start, new kinds of missions that require you to interact with NPC the stations, a complete rework of the entire PvE part where the backstory finally matters?

There are other opportunities to work with Ambulation in a possible future planetary interaction expansion.

I am looking forward to ambulation. Whiners be damned.

Let's get one thing straight - people who dont't agree with you aren't whiners. This is the typical reply of the terminal game geek who spends their lives kissing CCPs ass in public.

You dont encounter lag therefore its not a problem shows an extreme short sightedness as to the fact that not everyone is a carebear and that it affects a large proportion of people.

Who said fixing it was easy? Seems you're quoting someone from your fetid imagination.

Who said stop developing? No one. What was said is that this adds nothing to game play, and that the time would be better spent fixing REAL and CURRENT issues, even if YOU don't personally experience them before introducing content that has the potential to cause more lag.

What you believe about how many people want this is just that _a belief_. This thread contradicts you as for the most part people posting here don't want it. Like so many believers there is scant evidence to support said beliefs, because if there was some evidence they wouldn't be beliefs but facts.

Why are CCP introducing it? Who knows? They didn't say. Hmm, let me think, maybe it's a gimmick to get more paying customers to swell their profits for no extra gameplay and attract more people from the WoW w@nkfest and their multitude of clones. Maybe it's because a handful of people WHINED loud enough that it wasn't enough like their WoW w@nkfest. Until CCP explain why they are introducing it no one will know.

Virtual drinking in stations? If this is attractive to you then you seriously need to think about getting a life.

Pyramid quoting? Tell someone who gives a sh1t.

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.

Hmm, would've been interesting for others to see what was actually said rather than after the fact censorship that only hides it from people who joined the thread late.

Also, it begs the question of defining what is ranting and what isn't. The post may have had many legitimate points despite the way it was posted.

Personally, I think censorship is bad form and CCP shouldn't do it. By all means have words with the poster or even ****** out the rude bits, but to censor the whole post is a little OTT in my humble opinion.

There's enough PC nonsense in the world without it being introduced here too!

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?

I dont really see the point of it. Can't see it adding much to gameplay. I spend most of my time in space doing one thing or another. Strikes me as a purely cosmetic feature like premium graphics (which I don't use either).

and for me, the better it looks, the more eye-candy and fluff, the better, it helps me immerse myself in the game.

Amen to beautiful eye-candies. I spend so many hours staring at the game. It might as well be beautiful. (If one compares EVE to a movie, why watch a movie with sub-par production value special effects?)

Also, I think WiS will change player corp social dynamics. It will bring people who like full avatar interaction closer to a specific location in the EVE universe.

---

Originally by: Shady's Lady

---

Think about Red Dwarf. When it was low-budget it was brilliant. When America got hold of it they made it all graphically great but forgot to write any decent storylines.

From my perspectuve game developemt should focus on the gaming. As I said above, and you all seem to be agreeing, is that it won't add to game play. It's a cosmetic feature.

---

Originally by: CCP Eris Discordia

---

There will be gameplay in WiS but it will be social gameplay and not make you better at flying a spaceship directly. People who dislike any gameplay when it isn't combat might not enjoy WiS as much as people who do like other types of games, but then again isn't there plenty of combat to be found in EVE already?

We know some players won't like WiS and others will probably love it, but this is the case with any new feature. I'm interested to hear what people look forward to most, or what would make a hardcore pirate warm up to the idea of WiS (aside from knife fights, pocket rockets and laserz).

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.

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 donÆt know Kronossan, I kind of like the idea of roaming the dilapidated decks of a long abandoned station out in low-sec

*edit(having NPCs all over the place when your the only one their would get right up my nose)

Just as long WIS stays as a social thing to do, and not a necessary thing to visit agents n stuff and most defenetly not any 0.0 zones on stations *shrug*
Anyone remember Earth and beyond by any chance? they had that feat, and u HAD to run between vendors and missiongivers... the disco was cool tho:)

At first i thought PVP in station would be a bad idea... but...

If there was a special arena/room, that Pilots could only enter after signing a Death Waiver, well that would be cool.

Especially if other pilots could gamble to look on to the arena from the stands. Could be an automated fight based on skills or attributes.

Then at the end of the fight, the winner could hack through the losers corpse/head to find/salvage implants for bragging and iskies.

well there is a problem about, first has ccp made a hype about ambulation, and then from one day to another no further word about it, so i would like to know what is now going on ? can it be that ambulation never will come because there is maybe the danger that ccp has a problem to run all activities in space and stations on one server ?
if yes then forget ambulation for now, maybe in a few years when servers have more power than today and affordable for ccp.
thats how i see it...

Whell... with drinking in stations comes getting drunk in stations... with getting drunk in stations comes jumping back into your pod before the buzz wears off and trying admirably to fly in a straight line, while failing miserably.

I sure hope we can fly while drunk. This may be a key feature of Ambulation that will get me hooked.

if i was walking in the station would be a couple more years down the Line.. and game play and a stable game system would be on top of the list.

But this game is getting aimed at the kids not the mature gamers..

is there really ambulation or are pod pilots so demanding of new software that the neo-com programmers have created a virtual reality software suite to allow podders doomed to life in the pod to believe they are walking around a space station as if they are actually there..i mean how would that be any less real from their point of view...i mean its not like they are video gamers sitting at pc's and pretending to be loight years away and doing all kinds of things that cant really be done all in the name of fun.....wait....uh

Besides, to be quite frank, from a purely business perspective, it is highly competive for CCP and the developers to add functionality to station interactions. As a potential competitor in the MMO market, Star Trek Online, seeks new and current market share through Beta testing and new features such as ambulation and fleet combat, it is wise of CCP to counter that action with adding ambulation to an already beautiful and player-formed world.

I think the idea has great potential and since i heard of it im ONLY going to play EvE as my new Favorite MMO. I think the devs in the future could take it further and you could go planet side ( but that would take a long time to do) GO EvE

Edit: when is the beta of this and will it be open, and since this is a new big thing for EvE will this be a free expansion or paid???

It's ashame that CCP keep moving the release date for Walking in Stations back and back and back. At first, we were led to believe it would be out in 2008. Then, we all assumed - perhaps wrongfully so - that it would be out in fall 2009. Now, it looks like we aren't going to see it until 2010, possibly a way after that.

I know a fair few players who are signing up to Eve on the basis that they are waiting for Ambulation to come around. Frankly, I'm waiting for Ambulation to come around and the lack of transparency or information regarding its current phase of development is disconcerting. If Ambulation were to come out in 2009 or early 2010, I will stay with Eve. If it comes out any later than that... well... there are other games I want to play, so I will probably move on, with a weak look at coming back when it does arrive.

Frankly, I think there should be less carrot dangling and more information, so that your loyal and expanding playerbase knows what is happening with Walking in Stations. We aren't asking you to commit to a release date. All we want is some sparse info that lets us speculate a little more conservatively, instead of - everytime one expansion is released - holding out for the next one to be Ambulation, which is the current situation and then being let down when it isn't.

Apocrypha was a good expansion but its impact was toned down a little due to the vast disappointment with the lack of Ambulation. The next expansion will probably be recieved in the same way - greatfully, but with some of us a little narked off that WiS is still no where to be seen.

Pity about the delay with WiS.

As recompense, I would like CCP to tell us about any new ships that are due to be released next expansion - what skills should I train up in preparation

I am one of those relatively new players that was very excited about the idea of being able to walk around inside of stations. In fact, it was got me to actually subscribe to the game. However, the fact that it has been a no-show for so long has finally got me to unsubscribe (at least for now). I think that every Fanfest CCP shows it but then they don't release it. Like someone else said, "carrot and stick". Anyway, my sub runs through next month but I will be inactive as of now. Actually, have been inactive for the last month. I will check back once and while and see if anything has changed.

You people talking and stuff, but how much of the suggestions and complaints on this forum changed anything over the years in the game play, CCP's policies and practices? Give me some exact proofs?

I personally can do without walking in stations. Bah, I wanna shoot ships, mine, salvage... etc. :)
