The trite answers aren't really needed at this time. There are legitimate concerns and it very much seems like you're rushing this out the door before it's ready.

As far as I know, the Sisi version isn't even debugged yet. (Windows undocking, opening in the wrong location, partial information propogation)
Have you addressed all the problems players have brought up, or can you promise that it will be done before release?

I wasn't concerned until I saw Tippia's video, and now I'm horrified you plan to release that - either as is, or partly fixed and inadequately tested.

So, which of the problems have you fixed, and how long are you giving them on Sisi to test?

Hey folks.

I just wanted to restate what we said in the Dev blog for the Unified Inventory that we wanted to get feedback from those that use SiSi in order to address problems that would occur. We intended on following heavily up on the feedback, doing as much as possible before launch as well as doing even further iterations and fixes in the upcoming release. Team Game of Drones is committed to a new methodology of using the principals of User Centered Design, where the User Experience of our players drives our design decisions.

Not only did we collect all feedback from the Forums, personal posts, Twitter comments and other sources but we took the issues many of you like Grey Stormshadow, Tippia and other have been pointing out and created a User Testing plan which we facilitated last week. In the sessions the whole team observed the live feed and took notes on everything the participants did. We don't do User Tests because we don't believe you when you say there is a problem, we want to address it correctly and by seeing it in action with our own eyes, we can more easily find a solution to the problems you have found.

Once we had collected all the date from the tests we created stories and design updates which have either already been submitted to the next SiSi build, or we are actively working on or have been put into our backlog of work stories which we will address as priority stories before we start working on other features for next release.

I'm sorry if people that have given us feedback have felt we didn't listen in the past few days, I hope this post has re-instated that we actually listen and act accordingly and have simply been doing nothing else since the release of our blog. In the future, when we go through the feedback and create User Testing plans, we will make sure we reply to all the different discussion threads on the forums where we read the feedback, so that you all know that the feedback has been read, noted and addressed.

Thank you all for the feedback, you help us make better features and a special thanks to those that have gone above and beyond by bringing us very detailed and accurate constructive feedback, it does make a world of a difference for us.

By the wayGG*GG*aside from the slight O_o at you not believing what we say, should we interpret this as it being better to do what I did and record and actually show you the problems we find rather than just write them up in the classic test feedback way?

I mean, sure, we're talking about a visual interface so visuals are probably quite handy, and if a picture is worth 1,000 words, I suppose a video is worth 24,000 words a secondGG* but still, it's a fair bit more work so does it actually have any added value to you?

What I said was, it's not that we don't believe you ...[/b]

If belive you, he or we, why cant testing yours new changed inventory system ?
I will say why not, because you CCP guys anyway want to starting this semi-finished inventory at May 22.
But this inventory is current state is an alpha developed thing , what will imply many other fail and bugs too and impossible to fix it within one week.

So, Shandir told the truth "ccp pushing out half finished stuff with reduced functionality? again?"

Remember to Greed is good thing, what i said before. CCP told to us; "we will be listen to our playerbase and we never want to do this mistake again."
But you guys not listen again to playerbase and you do not want to allow it to test them. LOL

If you want the can/wreck to be displayed in a seperate window you have to shift-click. I would prefer the shift-click opens in the same window and normal click in a new window.

This is good to hear, as I was starting to wonder if it was going to become an annual ritual of CCP to shoot itself in the head with it's Hubris of not listening to player feedback and killing it's subscriber base with it's summer release.

I cannot help but think CCP has not yet fully recovered from last summers Incarna debacle, simply because what was once the pitchline of CCP was it's constantly increasing subscriber base, then when those numbers went in the toilet ,we were no longer able to access and track the number of logins and subscribers.If those numbers are available once again i'd love to know.

I DO pay my monthly subscription fee, so I do want the game to succeed, but I can say that I have played a lot less in the last year and many people I know have played a lot less, have taken a long Hiatus ,and some are only coming back now, people I haven't seen online since last summer. I would hate to see peopele get that bad taste in their mouth once again and either unsub, or just be subbed and never logon till the point somewhere down the road they feel they no longer want to pay 15 dollars a month for the privelege of skill training in a game they stopped playing months earlier.

I like the game, to an extent I like the people, but , to be honest, as an older player, I dont share the appreciation of the value of " tears" which seems to be such a motivating factor for so many younger players, and I also dont feel like constantly relearning a game i spent time to become proficient at.

CCP seeks to keep its game pertinent and fresh by changing elements of it so it doesn't become stagnant. This I understand and condone.What I don't want to do is relearn the game every 12 months and its interface. In short I want a game , not a chore.The new interface makes the game a chore again, and takes away much of what has been a comfort zone for longtime players.CCP has a succesful game, Dunno what makes them think they can constantly reinvent it and every time they it will be a hit. That's not the case as Incarna taught us. Whoever at CCP is spreading the Gospel of reinventing the game needs to be brought under check, as this person has too much influence on game design. Improve it, dont reinvent it. Certain CCP personell may enjoy using the player base as labrats in social experiments, " hey lets mess crap up and see how they react, that will freshen the game up",and while that may be amusing to a certain type of person to have control over others, its not the experience I am looking for when logging on to play a game I have played for years. Its should be obvious that if people are playing for YEARS, that familiarity and comfort are a key draw to them.Changing fundamental interface mechanics changes the entire player experience, and is a gamble itself as far as maintaining player loyalty and playerbase.

Changes, tweaks, Progress, content. This is what we want.This constant attempt at the reinvention of the wheel is eventually going to be opposed by a loyal core of people who are simple tooled and machined for the old " wheel" and just don't want or need a new one, and if forced may simply move on to something different entirely.

This massive Enraging of the player base once a year by what is perceived to be CCP Hubris will be it's undoing if it continues.Older players in particular will not keep returning in good faith,if they see the writing on the wall, and older players in particular are not inclined to suffer fools gladly.

I think this remark is arrogant uncalled for.

cool i will be paying attention for them and as long as they address the issues i and others are havng with it, it will be a win for ccp customer comunication and that is something that can not be sniffed at.
