Well, they could make it where you have to sit down and discuss certain transactions.

I was thinking about an “eavesdrop” feature…

May I ask, how long have you been playing Eve Online and have you tried anything besides ganking? Also, are you one of Aiko’s alts?

I much prefer the way we do transactions now, instantly, regardless of who is online, in space by setting up a contract

No need to add a WiS-sit-down-talk-to-the-other-party-if-they-are-even-online-in-your-timezone-session for every contract.

WiS would be a downgrade for transactions.

How do you propose you evesdrop on a discord channel that you don’t have rights on via WiS?

I hear a lot of fantasy, little realism.

I cite Jita as counter-evidence exhibit A. Even in corp chat, there are some who just rabbit away all day and one wonders if they ever actually play the game.

It would have to be within “Eve Voice”…obviously. The contract idea would be for times that you want to “question a contract”. One that’s, “too good to be true” for instance. Just spit-balling, no need to be rude…

CCP looooooves to waste millions in new games them cancel  
doing a dress up glorified chat room for the only game they really have could not be that bad of an idea

imagine today  
the devs say  
the plans for EVE in the next years are

1. back to super hardcore pvp , scam , brutal game
2. back to real stock Exchange level market
3. back to players build all the stuff
4. social ■■■■ in stations

we have a winner

Again, do not try to speak for everyone, and do not try to define What is Entertainment for everyone.  
Some people get satisfaction from sharp ship skins, some people want high quality visual, some people feel alive in captain’s quarters.

If you are a product manager or game designer, I would tell you do not misunderstand your opinion as actual user requirement, or try to ‘educate’ your clients how to play a game

I am against WiS mostly because it would take away from the rest of the game. CCP can only do so much in a given time, why ask for something that will take a TON of resources to make and optimize. They’ve started it already, but most of the population (97%) had it turned it off, either due to having old PCs, poor optimization, or just plain not liking it. Why would them trying again be any different? If you want Cyberpunk, go make your EVE character there.

indeed. It is fascinating CCPs resilience. With such amount of failed projects after huge investments… all thanks to the EVE profits during the good times!

And they still exist as a Company with employees and prob. even paying taxes! And they even allow me to dunk miners in highsec.

They are the master troll company.

How many versions of the Captain’s Quarters Mantra are we going to see in here.

The CQ was CCP sticking a pre-alpha tech demo made with an untested new graphics engine to sell a character creator. And yes. It was a failure on all levels.

Now all you numbnuts use that as your go to for why avatar gameplay will never happen.

Because CCP was bought by a competent company skilled in avatar based gameplay.

I want EVE. And I want it the way it was envisioned by the creators of the game. Not the way a bunch of entitled crybabies afraid of positive change demand. If you dinosaurs can’t handle the future of EVE, learn to code and make a nice wireframe gank simulator.

It’s still CCP that makes EVE, Pearl Abyss only really handles money side of things. Pearl Abyss would have to create a whole team to properly create WiS. CQ gets mentioned because that is all WiS will be, just with more station environment. There will be just as little to do as before, except you can see other people’s avatar (except you can already do that with how things are).

Eve was meant to be a living breathing Universe. not a PVP only game, CCP got manipulated by the "we want more spaceships brigade , And more PVP " and thats exactly why eve has stagnated. If they would have kept to there original plan eve would have millions of players by now. i understand people want to PVP but that takes a fundimetal basic foundation to enable this type of gameplay, which Eve no longer has due to ratty, And unfortunately the CSM is mainly made up of charismatic people, that are in PVP and very social alliances, while 60% of the player base who are silent just want a game where they can escape the problems of real life. If i am wrong, then why have all the major PVP alliance members not bother to play anymore. Now we are in a situation where nobody want to risk a expensive ship, or even bother to undock anymore. So the whole PVP is king idea is not what people want on the whole , we want a rounded out gameplay. Not just shooting ships.
