Why is this not being promoted CCP? Do you realize how many new threads can be avoided by making this more visible?!?!?
Who cares if its beta, make giant links to this everywhere!
Also, thank you for making that page CCP!
Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

see my sig
also, that's where you get redirected before filing a ticket in a section covered by the help desk topics.
Don't post on the forums, devs don't read it. Send GMs your questions with support tickets. Don't be silent.

Never seen that, is indeed helpful to solve the majority of issues. Add more stuff to it, make it public and link it in the help channels.

Well, if you have ever submitted a ticket you'd already have that page.

Good idea. I made a sticky post in the relevant forum section as that is what I can do.

Just thought I would chip in here with some information. For the past few months we have been trialing Zendesk as a new Customer Support communication platform. The one we are currently using is not really optimized for ticket work and is especially lacking in the ability to provide players with solutions without the need for them to contact us. As much as we like talking to you guys, ideally you should never have to contact us if there is something you can do yourselves to solve a problem.
Before we committed to Zendesk it was decided to trial it on the Technical ticket queue. This was the ideal queue as generally the solutions we provide through tickets can be easily provided through self-help articles. The result is the Technical Support help center.
Depending upon the results of the trial the GM Leads may decide to make more widespread use of similar help centers for the other queues (Gameplay, Billing etc).
I'd like to publicly thank CCP Leeloo for giving us some time with the CSM during the winter summit. We gave the CSM a glimpse of Zendesk and they provided some valuable feedback about Zendesk and other Customer Support policies. You can read about our session in day 2 of the CSM9 Winter Summit minutes.
That's about all I can say right now. We will keep you updated.

You mean like how a ton of new threads could be avoided by using the search function on the forums, or just a quick google search? You still dont get how lazy and stupid some people get nowadays, do you :p |

As long as this help desk system does not become like others I have encountered. Telephone ones can be the worst. I had a problem regarding my visa at one point. I literally ended up hitting re-dial over and over, running through the number combinations until I found the one combination that worked to speak a human and it was something along the lines of, "If you are a Swedish ex-national with a frog for a pet and three adopted children," all the other were saying, "We are sorry for the inconveniance but we are reducing costs to our department and you can read our FAQ."
Systems that run you in circles on a wild goose chase then you would be wondering why your GMs are verbally abused and quitting all the time.

Sometimes all I want is an answer, and GMs have been good for that.
In a moment of clarity not too long before I changed my signature to this one, I realized the forum-going player base is probably very miniscule compared to the total subscriber base, and for devs to spend time fielding questions on the forums would be disproportionate.
So I guess I mean to say my signature is meant as a piece of advice to players who may be under the impression they will be heard by posting on EVE-O somewhere nonspecific, and asking a GM a question via the ticket system is much more effective.
Between you and me, CCP Darwin, sometimes I get the feeling there's not much to talk about, and that most changes are based on a certain person's belief of how EVE should be, for the most part.
Don't post on the forums, devs don't read it. Send GMs your questions with support tickets. Don't be silent.

The forums aren't great for a two-way conversation with the developers, no. GM tickets don't really do that either, though, if your question is about where the game is going.
(If your question is about current policies regarding things like the terms of service or EULA, that's a different matter, they're generally the only people who can answer that kind of thing.)
Where the forums do have great value to us is for feedback on new or upcoming features. That feedback DOES matter. It's rare that a single post will bring something truly new to the conversation, but it's a great indicator of where players' concerns lie, and when those concerns are particularly widespread or unexpected, it can cause, and has caused us to rethink our plans.
One example from my own experience: Team TriLambda, the graphics and art team, is currently working on an overall reworking and review of ship looks with the new Physically-Based Rendering system. This work was made our top priority in large part because of feedback from the community about PBR, mostly on these forums, despite that, due to our other obligations, it would have been much more convenient to do that work later in the year.

Sometimes. And that largely depends on who the dev is and how set they are about the changes they want. Devs like CCP Rise tend to ignore feedback despite how overwhelming it is one way or the other. There have been too many cases were devs have received overwhelming feedback about changes that went through without adjustment or consolation. |

It's part of the job of the developers to sift through this and try to assess whether it indicates a real problem with a plan. In other words, I think the developers' standard for "overwhelming" might just differ from yours.

That's certainly not the feedback I get from the GM's. They copy/paste until they run out of text and then tell me to go file a bug, that it's not their job to report bugs to the Dev's.

Just because a dev does;t change something based on what a bunch of people are, for lack of a better term, crying over doesn;t mean its ignored. Often times, the end user has less information then the devs do. for example, the phoebe jump nerf, if the devs had listened to everyone complaining (there was a lot) it never would of happen. But after it being here for a several months now, it seems to have the effect CCP wants. 9 times out of 10, one change is part of a larger picture, and we as users don;t have the picture. Feedback is good, but as darwin says, the devs have crunched numbers, data and other information that we just don;t have. So often times they go through with the plan, because a lot of times the info players are saying, the devs have already tried and disagree with. Though there are plenty of times where ideas were modified because of feed back (freighters getting low slots as opposed to rigs is one example) and other times where feed back was ignored for a more 'see what happens' type of thing (loot spew being one) Feedback is good, but always remember, the devs ALWAYS have more information then you and tend to always have a bigger picture or plan that you don't. They can chose to not do your changes, for whatever reason, but ti doesn't mean its ignored.

Yes, please open a bug report if you're reporting a bug, and post in the forums if you have a suggestion or feedback. Neither can really be handled by our customer support department. That was my point, sorry if I was unclear. While our GMs do sometimes pass along feedback that they hear frequently while servicing players' tickets, it is not an effective channel for developer feedback.

CCP Rise was extremely accommodating during the redesign of the Tech 1 haulers, listening to the feedback that simply changing existing stats around was not interesting gameplay, and we got a newly diverse set of T1 haulers, as a result.
CCP Rise was at first reluctant, but did adopt suggestions that the Bowhead get an HP buff and agility bonus, compared to the original proposal.
The initial proposal to add capital rigs to freighters was met with tons of feedback, and the whole concept changed to giving them much more affordable low slot modules. (A side effect of nerfs to base stats, so that adding low slot modules wouldn't buff them over what they could do before - resulted in several players observing "be careful what you wish for.") I don't want to start a freighter complaint thread - this is just another example of feedback affecting the outcome. |
