What is the added benefit of walking around your station, or walking around your merc quarters? Seems like it just causes more loading than needed, and acts as a time waster. Almost 100% of the time I have my menu over it anyways so I'm wondering why does it exist? Immersion? If so it's not exactly making the game feel bigger by keeping me in my bedroom. If CCP is reading this, I hope you guys have some bigger plan's with this, because as it is, its very pointless feeling, and a confusing distraction from the real game.
Otherwise, I'm havin loads of fun, looking forward to seeing more maps. |

Why do you even post?

but walking around a room with EVE players is still absolutely boring gameplay. Now add the fact that no EVE player uses EVE voice, you won't be able to even talk to them. Where is CCP going with this? EVE players hated Incarna, why would Dust players like it? (not meant to be rhetorical, I actually would like to know why Dust players want/enjoy this, from a dev hopefully). |

Yes you can do that with your menu but its not as fun as doing it in the War Barge.
Also when you walk around in 3rd person you get to see what your dropsuit is and looks like. Thats pretty cool.
I find it the opposite of immersive. I want to truly believe I am in a huge angry beehive of a universe. Walking around alone in my Merc Quarter's watching TV doesn't make me feel involved. It makes me feel isolated, and like I'm in a loading screen waiting for the actual game. Now if there was a window, say a window on the side of Jita 4-4, that let me watch EVE players undock while I'm waiting in a station? That would be immersive. I would look out that window and be like "Hey I'm in a space station with like a million people, AWESOME".
EVE players already threw the worlds largest virtual temper tantrum over the addition of Incarna, and walking around in station. Why is CCP repeating history? What don't we know? Why do kids love the taste of cinnamon toast crunch? Well I would love answers if any developers are reading.
Also just another side note, that "Draft Saved" message on the forums is really annoying, it moves the whole text box up and down like every 10 seconds, really annoying.

Now think about all the time developers are putting into this feature. Building 3d objects, texturing, animating, even animating the TV channels would take a couple days to do right. Now all that time: isn't being spent on the gameplay that keeps players playing. I'd just like to know if it is going somewhere, or if it's just an aesthetic placeholder for when you aren't fighting? |

I'd just like to know if it is going somewhere, or if it's just an aesthetic placeholder for when you aren't fighting? I know there got big plans for the system with trying to let eve and dust players see each other. which can be a good idea if and when we want to be able to chat together in the same lobby/corp chat. I say give them time to get things added and moving a long but I do like were there going with it, will just take time that's all :p
Well I'm only coming to the forums to give my 2 cents because I'm a beta tester, and thats what we do, right? I personally just found myself confused as to why this is implemented again. I've already switched back to ship spinning in EVE, and I'm getting the exact same vibe from what Dust has going on.
I'd rather see EVE players in ships, than calmly walking around a station for no reason (because at this point there is no reason to walk anywhere, everything is already in the main menu). |

Not saying ur right or wrong about what you feel, I'm just telling people what CCP is trying to do with there game.
I can see were your coming from, at the same time I know some people like the lobby idea, to me I could care less I just want my idea that I post a while back to be added and I'll be happy lmao
Well no offense but none of truly know what CCP is trying to do with their game. They aren't developing it with us, they are making it for us, because they are very nice and very attractive people.
But say your idea is implemented. EVE players and Dust players in the same room. Now what? |
