I don't like much of the so called improvements. The weapon icons on the HUD, look like blobs, you can't look at one and tell it apart from another, if this was done so they look like the animation, loose the animation, loose the video when u open up the client, we don't need to wait 30 seconds longer for the game to load. as for the walking around in a room, yea. it adds nothing to the game except lag.
The agents need to be addressed, there are no level 4 security agents in my area, this was so stupid, what was the thinking here, I would like to know - making the agents easier??? they weren't that difficult to understand, now is just difficult to find a security agent. The log doens't show player aggression??? so you have to wait around and add the aggressor as a contact to know who was shooting you. What were you thinking???
Keith Neilson said: "I think a part of me died this weekend. It has no clone, no new body to return in. The part of me that is no more is my faith in CCP. CCP created more than just a dream, they created a virtual world for us all to live and share in. In fun, in risk, in loss and in reward. It was more than just a game. EVE is not just real. It is a life. CCP created life.
But life requires, among other things, faith in its purpose and continuity. What unites us all behind the pixels, is that we are all human. Some in business, some in fun, but we all share and live. But the faith required for that, as it is not real life, is getting lost. CCP has a limited time in which they can make a choice, whether to resurrect this faith, and how, before it is lost forever. How can they do this?
This is how:
1 û Transparent and open reorganization of management practices, Sack those who are dead weight, keep those with talent get rid of those without. Everybody understands business culture, but it is a balance. Independent of dream and friendship. These things are not ôtoo corporateö, or mutually exclusive.
2 û Actively seek and nurture talent where you find it internally. Provide staff with clear career progression within CCP. No more ad hoc appointments. Provide a training program for those that want/need it. Everybody understands the temptations of ôpositivityö as an instrument of business. Unfortunately, you are dealing with human beings who are diverse, and this goes beyond the direct environment of CCP itself. Total pay, beats positivity hands down.
3 û Stop thinking that youÆre still 10 guys in an attic, youÆre not. We understand where you come from, we love you for it, we respect you for it. But there is a difference between those days, where you are now, and where as an enterprise you think you may already be (but are effectively still a long way from).
4 û Be honest and accountable to yourselves and your customers. It is one of your company values, transparency, and accountability is not a bad thing, if people have an open culture, are friends and colleagues and share the dream. And no, it is not ôtoo corporateö, if you just invest constantly in people, knowledge, instruments, and listen to the backbones of your company.
5 û You customers are not simply users of a service, they are partners in itÆs creation. Make use of that. The CSM is not enough as just an experiment, move on from that, as it is a business instrument. If you employees first response to an open letter doing exactly as the CEO wants to do is ôwe do not negotiate with terroristsö, you have a problem in your corporate culture. It is as Hilmar stated it, EVE is an emerging dynamic, as creators and host you are as much as a part of that as are you customers. That can be scary, yes, but it is also good. The potential for synergy does not conflict with this being your game. And yes, some of you have moved on to do things outside of CCP, but more livelihoods than yours matter.
6 û Communicate, both externally and internally, more effectively. The right hand needs to know what the left hand is doing."...
