Hey there,
I've been playing EvE since 2009, been through all walks of eve life in one form of another and i still enjoy the game, but what i see you doing to this game with it's development model and your approach to marketing is transitioning this game into a game that i left with no grievances at all back in '09 on the very first day i played this game (World of Warcraft), after one day i was hooked because of the emergent gameplay i experienced on day 1; i took a frigate into low-sec and someone scanned down my mission and killed me in a thrasher, then had a conversation about the dangers of doing so.
Your current development model has 2 very major flaws and i don't mean medium level exaggerations i mean MAJOR flaws; 1. You seem to go ahead with changes even when the response by the player base is a majority 'wtf is this for, it adds nothing to the game and makes people more risk averse' (thanks Fozzie with your 'revolutionary' sov idea. 2. You have forsaken emergent gameplay and you have tried to patch these up with things like mobile depots and siphon units to name a couple
All i ask is that you stop pushing **** through in an expansion if the response is not overall positive, this new development model gives the players less time to see the true nature of what you want to introduce into the game, instead of pushing through even more garbage than you used to, this 5 week dev cycle was meant to hinder that, but it seems to have accelerated the process.
Your ideas these days really don't have any substance and it's sad that i say you have moved into the realm of WoW-like ideas which i find hugely alarming since it was such a stark opposite back in 09.
In essence; Stop Alienating Your Playerbase. |

When you change something not everyone will be happy.

Overflow of whine was of epic proportions back then, and positive feedback was at least equal in amounts to negative. However, we ended up with ships that people use for various purposes in PvE and PvP instead of being so-so mission running boats that required disproportional SP investment in comparison with what they did.
Holy s***, it was like 400 pages long. I don't even think feedback on sov (effing sov!), structures and missiles combined right now isn't that massive.
Reminds me of good old game development truism: don't ask what game people want, they actually have no idea.

People toss the term "emergent gameplay" and "sandbox" around a lot without seemingly to understand what it means. Fozziesov doesn't interfere with either of these ideas and I would argue mobile depos add to both of them. |

It's not the change (*cough* nerfing *cough*) that are the problem, It's the RAPID pace that these changes occur that's cause problems with people trying to adjust to the previous changes. All these rapid sudden changes is having a double edged sword effect. Sure CCP are making improvements, but the speed of these rapid changes are forcing players to make sudden adjustments too often and too quickly which in turn is killing the fun factor for eve. |

Comments on Fozzie Sov, its early days, the new structures will be important in terms of how this really works, this is still a band aid approach in many ways. Yet once again one has to congratulate the Goons for such excellent play in getting their indicies up to reduce their exposure in Deklin, smart play as always.
The kiting the timer approach was expected and I was amused to see that mentioned by the Mittan, Laz and Elise as letting a secret out of the bag, guys that was understood by quite a few people as being the likely approach, I was amused to see that as a deliberate by CCP.
The amusing thing was seeing the Goons go on about troll interceptors at the troll level and then at the leadership level say its not going to work, again many of us realised that using interceptors was actually a waste of time and it would just be grab a kill or waste their time if you had coverage of course.
One thing that was news to me and does break the system is that the defender loses their indexes when the IHUB goes down, those indicies should not go down to 0 but should erode over time, CCP you are being idiots here. And when I hear that the indicies of the previous sov holder go to the new owner with the IHUB I thought doh, CCP again being silly...
I was listening to the comments by Elise about people holding 60 systems with 1,500 people and suggesting that these people go to a single constellation near NPC space and try to hold that and I thought nope, that plays directly into PL's hands. Those entities with a dedicated core player base can grab a load of systems and just be nomadic in those systems, that is the way to approach it if you are a 1,500 man alliance with a hard core of 300 dedicated active players. If you focus on one constellation then PL and the Goons can throw all their stuff at you and hell camp you, do not do it. Be nomadic in your space and you can weather this, do not get pushed into a final constellation all your stuff is there, it will kill your alliance, if your region starts to fall to too many attackers get out and then come back in when they have gone elsewhere. You need to be smart and hang in there, let them play wack a mile over a large number of systems, enjoy!

It's not even the speed of the changes. It's the amount of stupid in the change and the fact that it never gets relooked at because their off doing the next thing. Basically think of James Woods in Family Guy: ooo piece of candy, ooo piece of candy, ooo piece of candy without ever seeing the trap that he's walking into.
This new 'expansion release' model is probably some new age bullshit in the corporate scene that works well for companies who are sharp and on the ball. However when you are some fringe quasi-successful gaming company and start changing **** and not reiterating upon it, it's just screwing up stuff more often.
I sent in a ticket to CCP the other day explaining how this isn't working and what their doing wrong from the perspective of a long time EVE supporter and enthusiast. They said go post in the correct forum thread and sent me an email asking how satisfied I was with my response. lol
I don't have time to go post in 20 different forum threads about all the sh!t you've put into this game since Odyssey but that's when the downturn started. 'Expansions' have been **** ever since then... except the lowsec gate gun agression changes... that was a good change.

Well it doesn't have to be drip feed in the literal sense.
If new content is ready and doesn't rely on content still in development, why sit on it? They may as well just add it to the game.
Edit:
There is the other reason of course and that is with smaller amounts of content it's easier to find and deal with bugs. |

given the number of meh 6 month releases I say the current 6 week releases are way better.
there have been a few things where they announce a week before the patch and just throw it in as is despite good feedback, but it feels like they have been better about that, and usually those things are minor impact.

The cycle is not too fast. This is still an insane thought on not understanding how stuff works. the problem is not the cycle, the issue is either CCP not communicating things soon enough, or players whining because they dislike change.
The release cycle has zero to do with either. As it snot like they cram all there work into 5 weeks and drop it. People still fail to understand this.
Most of the changes are small ones, there are few big changes, and 'oh people need time to adapt' no, i'm sorry, if things change in your life, which they do, at a drop of a hat and you cna;t adapt then you are weak.
Players had close to 6 months to learn abu the idea of fozzie sov and give feed back, then another 2 months to try it out before it dropped and give feed back. You want to know what the majority of post in the feed back thread were? "WHAAA CCP WHY DO YOU LET PL USE THE AT SHIPS! REMOVE THEM FROM DUALITY!' 80% of the post were exactly this. go read the thread. The real stuff was adjusted as they saw fit.
Things are not coming too fast if you pay attention. Personally, i like it this way, at least now ccp can tweek stuff thats broken quicker then waiting... in the case of pos' 10 ******* years.
idiots abound..
