Originally by: 5n4keyes Thanks for letting us know, Battlefield 1943 gets my vote
Is that any good? I liked the bad company 2 thing but haven't gotten round to 1943 yet. --

Originally by: Ti'anla Edited by: Ti''anla on 27/07/2010 21:27:12 Voted for EVE. So there.
Also, you morons need to realise your pet-hates only fall into certain voting categories, and to exclude EVE as a consideration from all of them is to just be a ****.
Vote for eve Eve wins More publicity More players Middle management justify this as them doing a good job More shoddy features roll out and we're left with the same broken content
Now if CCP fixed the issues and made the game run beautifully, then I'd vote and if eve won best game a number of times in a row with no new content then I think that'd scream a hell of a lot more louder than some expansion or the other. --

Originally by: iridize My hat goes off to you sir for putting your head above the pa****t, you may get a little abuse aimed at you, but the fact that your the first CCP employee to respond to this thread and acknowledge the players may actually gain you a little respect from the community.
You are well aware that he is also the last CCP employee who will respond to this thread or even be aware of its content, right?
Seriously, the CEO should be reading this, not some flunky that has no ability to do anything about this.
I brought up this specific thread in this morning's EVE marketing meeting, and it will appear in my "EVE press mention roundup" email either later today or tomorrow, which is widely read throughout CCP.
But will any of that have an effect on anything or will it just be viewed as "egh, a few of em are unhappy, so what, look figures show more people joining.... MONEY FIGHT!!!"
I'd love to resub when my remaining time runs out but at the moment world of sodding tanks is looking more and more appealing... and I hate WW2 games --

Originally by: Blane Xero CCP Might be failing, but would any of you morons actually say that there is a better MMO out there? If so, why are you not playing it?
Hypocrites the ****ing lot of you.
We're not. If there was a half-decent alternative sandbox space mmo, CCP would be bankrupt already. However that is a dangerous numbers game to play, acting like they are now is not something we will forget, and when a competitor inevitably DOES show up, we're all gone like yesterday.
In addition to that, just because there is no alternative does not make us hypocrites for demanding the "excellence" and quality or service CCP has promised us over and over again.
Your conclusion is faulty.
So you're refusing to vote for them on Best MMO because there isn't an MMO that rivals them? Isn't that the entire ****ing point of a Best MMO vote?
If there was a vote for "least **** mmo" then they'd get my vote but voting for "the lesser of two evils" isn't my style. Hence, canceled sub, trying to find something else to play, god knows what at this point... prolly the x series or back to older games like capitalism plus. --

Originally by: TheBlueMonkey If there was a vote for "least **** mmo"
Least **** is no different than Best, it's only different wording in order to give the illusion of difference as if to paint it in a different light.
No, you're straight out wrong. There's a GIANT difference and that's what I hate about the computer games industry. It's rarely "we strive to be the best" and more "we strive to be slightly less **** that the competition"
There are far too many apt Henry Ford quotes out there that people these days seem to miss. --

Well unstickying this thread seems to have exacerbated things. I wonder what'll happen when CCP eventually lock it.
My guess is multiple links back to this thread from many many quickly locked threads.
smooth move ccp, way to handle outrage ;) --

When your own paying customers wont vote for you, you have something to worry about. (My first worry would be how to keep many of them paying customers)
But it's fine because they'll just open the game to more people --

Originally by: CCP Zinfandel I know you guys do not like to hear that CCP employees are reading this thread and listening to you. We are. Yes, we even read the occasional incoherent post.
There is a huge amount of action, trial & error, planning, discussion, and occasionally disagreements about priorities. But we are absolutely not ignoring you.
No, we do not believe that "all publicity is good publicity." No, we are not encouraging other sites to link to this thread. We are far too focused on the hard work of bug fixes, performance improvements, scalability, and more.
We are also looking for ways to communicate more about what is happening behind the scenes. Honestly, that's probably where folks like myself can contribute the most to EVE Online.
You may also have the ability to contribute to improving your game. If you have time on August 5 to help test our latest fixes and improvements, please visit this thread for instructions and timing: http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1267555
Thank you in advance, Zin
I'll help you do your job, which you get paid for, for free when you come to my office and help me do my job for free.
Not sound fair?
Get a better testing department or offer some kind of incentive beyond "we're fixing things".
It's like if my mechanic said "hey, I'll fix your car but could you come in on saturday and give me a hand" um... no... --

Originally by: mippie
wait.... so your going to come onto the forums, EMONERDRAGE about the lag that CCP clearly cant figure out..and when they ask for ACTUAL players to create the condition in which the lag happens your going to say "no" and continue to ***** and moan....your a fecking ****** who truely does not help this game...
¼¼ indeed
There have been "mass tests" in the past and they've seemed to yield little to no results.
The test server is just that, a test server, it's not a mirror of the live server hardware\load wise so a mass test will do little more than tell CCP that the test server can't deal with large numbers of players... useful.
If they insist on "mass testing" on the test server then they'll need to insentivise it and for once it's the kind of thing they can easily insentivise.
When they wanted to test capitals they gave people all lvl 5s so everyone and their ****** could join in. That was entirely pointless because most of those who can't fly capitals don't know how to fly capitals, it's like getting me to test a jet fighter.
Now they just want pure numbers and they won't offer a bean? Um... stick 500mil as an incentive and see how many people rush to help.
I'll give them a hint though, loot logging. That's where my money is, it's not something we need, not something anyone I know wanted and yet we got it. Even with it turned off I've got a feeling in my water that it has an effect.
There... I helped --

Originally by: Bomberlocks This is something you really need to do, CCP. The test server is in no way an adequate analog of the live server.
Its exactly the same as the live server bit for bit. Especially if they reinforce the node the test is on. Then its literally the exact same enviroment as tq.
Originally by: Bomberlocks P.S. It's a real pity that the forums don't have a black function so we can block the obsessive trolls.
Then there would be no topics or replys for the majority of the forums.
Trollz = Forumz content tbh.
You guys supply the entertainment for the fleet fight guys looking at a black loading screen as they wait to appear in the clone station.
So everone turns up on the test server and all flood into the same system\same grid. How does that mirror the live server where you'd have countless people on their way to fleet, moving around near by systems, all the constelational and regional data that's changing constantly?
Plus all the respective corp\alliance\other chatter going on, contracts being updated, items being sold etc etc etc.
If you want a real test, the only way would be for CCP to have "research ships" that they could have tag along on a fleet fight that can experience the lag first hand.
For some things, yes, the test sever is good. For other things, not so much. --

Oh, you don't. You just want to rage.
In all honesty, I'm not raging, it's more like depresively accepting that I'm not going to resub when it eventually runs out.
Plus, all your words, you don't know they are at all the fleet fights so we're back round to the "ccp need to communicate better" side of things again.
Ultimatly, yes, they do lots of things well but the game, for me, is far too broken for it to be fun.
Empire sucks ass, huge fleet fights lag to frustration.
I'm just hoping that warhammer 40k doesn't blow when it comes out, or when we hear more about it, there's potential there. --

I'm fairly shocked (ok... more disapointed) that there hasn't been any decent communication to the player base since all this has kicked off.
A dev blog, a news feed, something. Telling us if any of this is actually effecting anything or if it's just being viewed as "a vocal minority moaning"
Did you learn anything from the mass test? How well did it go? Did you get decent numbers? If you'd offered incentives would it of been more of a success? Is there any way you could of forseen this? --
