I understand there has to be a Full rounded plan to make out WIS.... I just hope it does not get chopped down like many of the expansion in the Past. Ie Dominion.
Topic 1 One of the old things was the design of "Robots" I saw this as a feature to make my own Agent. I hope that my robot can read made markers. - Book marks, Corps (Corp/ alliance) and being able to make unique markers. This would allow me to say "If you give me book marks at the monuments sites 1,2,3 I will give you this pass to allow you to apply to my Corp"
If you give me the bodies of 10 Goons I will give you so much isk.
If you visit "Robot X" at VFK-TL and bring me marker X from him and I will reward you with a metal object Y is this still on the table?
Topic 2 There was talk of establishment allow us to sell modified uniquely altered ships and modules at my shop. making smaller markets in stations that a small marketeer can make a reputation. Making people having to the come across the universe to get my custom goods. This will make Promoting "Products" a viable act, adding to the player created portion of the game.
Is this still on the table?
Topic 3 I do like the concept of exploration and adventuring and look for ward to have my away teams to find new resources and have gun fights against NPC and PCs.
General anticipation I hope the active gameplay of the WIS is done in stages opening up Topics 1 and 2 which would allow player created content followed by Topic 3. - I would be down right amazing allowing Players to "Build adventure" and stories for other players to participate in. Follow the Idea of Upgrading the Infrastructure hubs to allow these adventures to be populated by NPCs of according strength of Upgrade. NPC drop just like CCP created random loot tables and a Marker is dropped by an the End boss.
In the end there is a lot of grinding of complexes with player created text in between missions/complexes. Allowing us to design an end boss that may have dialog and drops Loot I have provided to CCP out of my Isk/Loot Pocket. Allow me to build the end bad guy as well. Sorta like City of Heros. Arcitect. (Scaled down at first)
This would add standard content found in Most MMORPGs that takes a lot of resources to produce and what eve is short on compared to the rest of the industry. (on the negative there will be crappy adventures out there so there should be a player voting board to allow the better adventure to be available to be moved to Tranquillity. )
PS. I am sorry you are ones having to deal with failed incarna expansion and the sigma behind it. I wish you the best of luck, and wish you all the best in producing stuff. The Goons are Coming, The Goons are Coming Jita the April 28, Hulk a geddon April 29 for a month.

I think once the opportunity of interacting with other people comes in to play sales in the next exchange will increase as making your self look different becomes important.
I think sleeve and the Mixed race are revived items from Incarna, I just hope that the next push is the interaction and game play elements. With CCP waiting to jump on to adding Next store clothing once people start complaining about lack of selection.
I do hope that Ship skins are Next store and Logos as these will be in HEAVY demand and won't be adding to game play. For my self I want My Pair of Rorquals and the Mining Vessels inside them to be all a matching color

Sadly, I think the sales approach towards introducing WIS to the strong FIS populus of eve is to follow FIS game play. WIS will need to have a FIS portion included in every step. So exploration and game play will be a will be nesesary
on a different Idea There was concern about the lack of emersion about inviting people into other CQ. It would be similar docking procedure into stations were we enter get close to the station then.... instapop into my CQ. So I don't think there will be much of an issue of insta-pop into a friends CQ

Gritty and dark.... This is where eve should take to roads
Clean Bright and chearful for common places in Empire where commerce is in full swing.
Gritty and dark when you travel of the common paved road and start looking at the real things that run a station..
it should have both. and I hope the carbon technology will enable use to do such a thing.
very few SCI FI allow you to live on Both sides of the tracks. The Goons are Coming, The Goons are Coming Jita the April 28, Hulk a geddon April 29 for a month. The Best Tears are the Geifer's Tears. just hope the new crime watch system is in place by then.... oh the chaos will rain!!! |

WIS will be taking a parallel to FIS so most Greifing act will make a person suspect therefore shootable by all. But in the brighters areas a clean up crew will be around quickly to clean up the corps, While in the darkest areas that corps might just be lfet there to rote.
In the Brighter sections of the station you will have Concord like security but in the darker areas null sec rules apply and personal justice is what counts.

You can't biomass a griefer which means that he can harrass you out of the game and you can't do **** about it in game. Out of game you can go and punch his nose, to speak so, but then you don't live in a dystopia and you're gonna be charged, tried and very likely condemned. So people in EVE grief because griefing is for free as such are the mechanics. And so probably we should count on being griefed if they ever bother themselves to deliver WiS. But it's allowed in all other "Brighter" games. Although there is a "Harassment" section in petitions for those who overdo it. If a player didn't had that dirt in him, it's will not come out, allowed or not. But don't get me wrong, i'm not against PvP or the combat system. But there's a huge difference between shooting players because it's fun or proffitable, and when you take this to a personal level, disrespecting your opponnent. And by this disrespecting yourself.

That was apart of the old model in the last fan fest the approach was suppost to parrallel FIS so there might be low sec faction (Gang) warfare in the lower portions of the stations ?

I may be talking out my tail pipe on this as I am not a programer. The dust engine is the Unreal engine. the current WIS is Carbon a CCP exclusive programing lanquage that is Python designed to work in batch processing to increase the power of the processor. The language to the looks of it is meant to scale as technology advances so the realism of the avatars will increase with minimal re writing. Allowing people to show off their avatars as a statement of fashion. This language will also be used in World of Darkness. Carbon is also a language that is exlusive to CCP so they have more control of that programming product.
If we switched to Unreal what will happen to the art assets currently already developed, As I know a variety of interiors can already be build using the current assets in CCP's hands and a variety of character work has been completed. All of which is in high detail.
can those assets be converted over. Can the Lighting Effects that Carbon is supposed to be using transferable.
it just feels like we have all the components of a house ready to build, just we are having trouble with finding the nails. Once the nails are found WIS will start having game play, which is the biggest stumbling block.
I would love to see a Comparison chart of what Carbon is suppost to be providing vs Unreal.
In the future will dust move from the unreal engine to carbon? Can some of the assets be transporting from one into carbon so the gun skins can be easily moved over.

in order to sell WIS to the FIS populus it needs to play like FIS. and Should include FIS in every aspect.
Safe Spot is CQ - just don't let anyone in.
Main Level High Sec rule like Concord. Only Kid friendly Play here or Stations security does its impression of Concord. Worker and Common Class Levels - Low Sec - You can shoot some one but unless it agreed Dueling - You will have to actively hide your tracks, Hide body, Otherwise it may be found, if it is now you are a wanted man, Can't show you self on the main level, Have to keep moving to avoid the slow moving military patrol The Lower levels - This is faction space, Null Sec faction. No one will ever know or care if you die here. If Station Crews come down here they bring weapons and lots of them. But you will rarely See them. If the Machine does not break then Station security never comes. Hence nothing breaks down here. the Factions keep it maintain. Call it rent in a way.
New Care Bear Profession Station Mechanic. You want me to fix what... Where? But that is on the edge of our territory. I am going to get popped the moment a put down my tool box. You better have cover for me. You know if this does not get fix station Security will come and fix it and will violently evict you in the process.

I know there was a joke post from CCP on april fools about Bringing in pets into the game.
I though it would be interesting. having a Slaver Hound with me or something to greet me when I cam home to my chosen station.
But actually make them real like. - Not this automaton that just following me. - Give it life and character: ie --> if I take it walking it will greet other pets, or May attack other who they think are Alpha males. Attack Minmitar characters. --> If I don't come back to the station in a month the Pet's personality will be come distant unfriendly, or may die if not automated feeding/cleaning service is paid for in you CQ --> If I am transporting my pet and leave it in my ship or the ship gets blown up it may die. --> Allow stations to have laws against pets ---> Have pet able to be trained to act as attack drones. --> Pet breading, personalities and states. --> Actually have Pet games where yes pet will have a 50% chance of dieing if loosing or even die if winning a competition.
--> This may make having pets in public difficult and could more harm that good especially off of leash in Public.
Even though the Thought of Pets may revolt some. I would like to see these pets that actually some day to get into the game but be more than just eye candy. well except maybe Gold fish.

if it is easy to for 1 person to make a change then no one makes changes as all thinks one way return to the other. Yet when enough people decide to work together under the leader ship of 1 person then things will happen.
A small person can be apart of a change, Only ammusment park games can be 1 person makes a difference, and that is usually in you own world and some games like Guild wars 2 is doing that.
I think the only chance in Eve for 1 person to make a change will only be in player created missions which I think could be possible with official bot avatars proposed some time ago in eve The Goons are Coming, The Goons are Coming Jita the April 28, Hulk a geddon April 29 for a month.

IMO they need to get a multiplayer environment into the game with one good reason to use it. That would restore a bit of confidence.
What promises - and when.
sorry to sound contraversal but I know in 2008 there was plans they got squashed then another attempt was made in 2011 then things when south The hick up in the coading then the house of cards fell down

I know that they original plans had bouncers at the bar enterence so the more seedy types could not get into your bar
with the PVP in WIS, I am just wondering what would the loss be if you suicide gank some one since.. you are not loosing a ships this time, just your pod,,,, er avatar.
are we going to be using dust technology for it?
can there be a recording of how many Station kills a player has made in the High sec of the Station to help curb the the ganking in the civilized sections of the station to be separate from the Space ship Sect status. Also a status of how old the characters are to avoid the re-rolling your suicide ganking toon.
On the Civilized portion of the station have weapon detectors etc to not permit access beyond the CQ unless they taking a direct route to the "Low security" sections of the station The Goons are Coming, The Goons are Coming Jita the April 28, Hulk a geddon April 29 for a month.

since while in WIS, you,will be off line.A separate server may work.
but it is quite possible Jita may be the last place to get WIS to distribute the load. Jita remains to be the commodities market, and the WIS is focus on Local specialized markets Some day I will have the internet and be able to play again. |

going to a vertual bar is as effective as going to a real bar. just costs a lot more and you have a hang over in the morning.
for both real and fake social gatherings it is not the gathering its self it what you do at the gathering the make it meaningful or adds game play.
it would have been the activities that ccp would have added that would have added the game play, POKER for pink slips, multiplayer Slay. the actual buying and selling of unque custom goods.
These activies would have been like a "Social" PVP and something to react over.
BUT... from what little I heard these game play features would have been secondary to the Avitars, and fancy clothing. Making WIS well IRC... with avatars.
Now CCP is taking a different approach a SPY vs SPY (from mad comics back inthe day) Sci-fi dungeon exploration. It kicks starts the WIS in the right direction. But I hope they don't forget the social aspect of it. Needing to have have a party of players to work to gether in some shape or form. Your Logi Guy - healing the group Your Hauler - Able to carry the special loot Your DPS - Combat Characters, Your Hacker - To get into the location where a simple pistol to the lock won't work, Your Look Outs- A rigger with cameral drone all over the place, and some minor sentry drones to let the crew know the other team is comeing The guy on the ship providing external information --, fending back the baddies as they dock. -- or letting the away team that the hull is now coming alive with drones. -- Telling the crew that he is having to move the ship to docking port. --using the ships mega computer to analyze the information of the away crew who are stuck operating with only hand helds.
Allowing people to specialize in one role while others can equip for other roles.
For easyier mission 1 man can do everything.... if his suit has enough slots.
If all the dungeons can be completed by 1 person then the original aspect of social interaction will be lost.
I just see a parallel of WIS and Dust. and wonder it there will be a cross or an algamation of the two... with PS 5 Some day I will have the internet and be able to play again. |

Watching the Pre Shows for the alliance tournament seems that some of the "experts" were showing acceptance to WIS since the Incarna and Inferno have really worked in fixing bugs and making the game more playable.
One said that after POS fixes, the biggest dead horse of them all are fixed that some implementation of WIS would be an enjoyable new content to enjoy.
So after we see the POS fix complete, we may finally see that Dev blog that is still in the pipe line!!
Though the CSM minutes will be coming out soon all 5,000 pages. And that should show off some Incarna information. It should be interesting to see what the Vocal minority say about this information. Some day I will have the internet and be able to play again. |

Currently behind the door is the fire burning from Summer of Rage and 1 over cooked CCP developer who for has been able to keep living. (possibly Polaris Implants). The flames are slowly dieing but are still inhospitable for the average capsular. My guess it will be about 24 months before the door opens. Sorry!

I do agree that the WIS would help the retention of new players as many have a tough time associating themselves as being a pod.
Though from what I have heard the majority of CCP employees were being beaten in to submission in a direction many didn't feel was right. Over the last year it sounds that the grunts of the company have enjoy the ability to produce areas that they enjoy. To the sounds of it many of them have put in a lot of personal time "unpaid" in filling out their interests in the game.
We may have seem more production but there are other elements of eve they have been working on. Updating code for the dust link, Reworking of WIS to something that follows the ideals of FIS, so it can be accepted more readily by the masses. The complete reworking of coding so they can make better entries in the future, Also coding tools to allow people like content creators to produce faster and with a wider variety of missions.

Oh come on CCP I want some WIS News either. The CSM minutes or a WIS blog
I am refusing to call WIS Incarna because that is brand identification that has the summer of rage attached to including of ideals of NEX store and micro transaction, the lack of re-iteration on simple and common issues, according to players, the lagg was becoming a stronger issue inspite of gridlocks ongoing attempts. 3rd party liecencing costing 99$ fearless letter,etc
Please isolate branding of Wis from Incarna and the nex store
Stop referring avatars as Incarna and add ship skins, logos and FIS offer vanity items to the NEX store

Well I guess we can talk amoungst our selves....
I was wondering if anyone would like to join me on a Podcast where we can discuss the Moving avatars
Topics we would hit would be - The Creepy Gap - why did CCP decide to Jump it- (Second Geration Avatar - The importance of Realistic characters vs a Character drawing style - How much money could a person really make via Peacoks only - Ratio of Mechanics vs Graphics, What short cuts CCP as enjoyed by only rendering Space ships
- what specifics did FIS zelots hate about Incarna
This will be the first cast. I hope that the second ones I will get some Questions from CCP and/or Team Avatar we can discuss, or dig some issues cover in the multiple threads produced but the eve public.
This podcast will provide entertainment for players and also Team Avatar, as we pretend to know what we are talking about and tell CCP how we think the direction of WIS should go, or include
So we won't be covering anything covered by NDA so Bring out your tinfoil hats if you like. It is
