Borked patch days. They don't happen anymore, and I feel like a lot of nostalgia has been taken away. Can you guys break something on the next patch to make old guys like me feel like we're still playing EVE?

I have to agree. I can't say I have seen the "homeless guy on the corner preaching the second coming" etc in a long time. The days of patch day coming, set skills for at least 3 days, expect to lose half your stuff, grab your ankles and try not to scream are certainly missed for the nostalgia bit.....but then I like having like 10-15min DTs and 30-45min patch DLs (damn you Chinese interwebs for blocking foreign content!~!!!!)

Well, if you really want to, I could ask CCP to include something in the next patch that will mess up or delete a crucial component of your OS...

whats even more funny is that if you are using SISI from time to time, you won't even have to patch TQ on patch day (maybe a few MB), since both use the same cache. Patch days are not what they used to be :P
how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

I knew there was a reason to keep mine.
But, seriously.... that nonsensery was one of the first times I sat back and said "what is everyone on about? It worked just fine for me.", and thus begun a trend of smugposts by me that lasted all the way up until the last broken patch.
I guess now would be the time to admit that I *DID* have patchday issues, but most of those were fixed by just clearing the cache, and the others were my ISP or (in the early days) a crappy computer. So, there was truth to all those posts, just not quite as much as I lead you all to believe.

We had a few major cockups not long ago. The server was down for quite a few hours. I think it happened on one of my days off so I wasn't amused at the time. You can be sure there will always be opportunities for major ****-ups on CCPs part.

Hmm. Can I not type that four letter word beginning with the letter C and ending with the letter K ? No.......no that other four letter word beginning with the letter C. I'm a nice girl you know.
It doesn't like me typing that five letter word beginning with the letter Q and ending with the letter R. That word is a perfectly good English word to describe something odd or strange.

I remember patch days when I literally couldn't post fast enough to troll them all. It used to be hard work dammit! Now, its like three to five patch day 'waaaaa launchr no work!' threads, and that's it. The last patch day issue I had was when my launcher was on English, and the ads were in Russian, but that was it.
What is wrong with you CCP? This isn't what I signed on for!

There is now an entire generation who have no idea why setting a long skill the day before the patch would matter.

I always used to set a level 5 skill in the queue during expansions just in case. Now with the infiqueue, theres no need to do even that anymore!
Also notice how its the new entitled generation who never had to sit through 'patch weeks' who always demand reimbursements and stuff for any minor inconvenience...

I remember one time after the first few DDoS attacks, when (I'm pretty sure it was you) we kept saying to stop giving us SP, because it was encouraging more attacks...

I vaguely remember saying something along those lines. Refunding SP for every little thing just lead to more 'I demand SP reimbursement for reasons!!!!11!!!!onety eleven111!!!!' threads being spammed. The GD militia took care of most of those threads in expert fashion, and the ISD mopped up the rest.. but still.. the SP refund was a bad move in the first place. I just hope CCP learned their lesson from that.

That's right. it set a bad precedent, every time something happen people expected something for free. CCP had the best intentions there, but were just a little short sighted in not understanding that EVE players are advantage seekers (well, not just EVE player,s human in general) and giving against policy is a really bad thing. |

I've stopped raging out at the "gimmie gimmies" since last Christmas... it's just not worth my energy anymore. I am glad to see they've slowed down a might. And I'm even more glad we don't get showered with free SP every time some Lizard Squad kid decides to DDoS us then tell Twitter how "uber leet hax" he is.
Personally, I've appreciated every gift item CCP has ever dropped me. Not expected, by any means, but still appreciated. I'd honestly be fine with it if they stopped giving gifts altogether, or just gave us each a random avatar item from now on.

The 'gimme gimme gimme' christmas threads are just ******* awful. To think that there are that many grown *** men/women out there who act like spoiled children around the holidays frankly turns my stomach.
Whats worse, is that when CCP does give us stuff, the 'gimmies' turn around and instead of saying 'Thank you CCP!' they go 'WTF CCP??!?! IS THIS IT? WHERES MAI OP AS HELL SHIP? WHERES MY SUPER LEET MODS/IMPLANTS?!?!?!? WHERE IS MY REMAPS?!?!>1.!.>1.1.1.! MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE BETTER MORE MORE BETTER BETTER BETTER MORE!!!!!!!!!"

That's kinda why I stopped bothering with them. It was turning me into something I don't want to be, on here.... an angry troll. I'm much happier being the funny troll Ezwal chases around the hallway of doors, ScoobyDoo-style, with his LockBatGäó

no i disagree. Broken patch week was the worst. ESP on the forums.. unless you collect tears cause OMG was there tears.
Then ccp did something stupid back in Exodus, when they gave everyone two free days of game time. So for the next 5 years, ever broken patch had people asking for free game time.
Yea.. no, i liek that i can actually play the first week of patches now
OMG Comet Mining idea!!! Comet Mining!
