I'd like to hear about the things that people think CCP have done a good job on.
I personally think the new gates look awesome. The new skins look great especially the Navy Mega. Eve TV is great and the Fan fests look like tons of fun. The map I love particularly and I'd like to be able to DL it and use it out of game. Oh yeah and my Caldari mug that I bought was never advertised to my knowledge as a Colour changing one, thats cool.
After I watched the history of Eve I really gained an appreciation for the amzing amount of hard work that has gone into this.
Ahh so yeah. Tell us all what you like best.
PS: How in the hell does the space artwork wrap around like that... I can figure it out I really like the art.

I think everything they've done is good. No other game I've ever heard of is as deep or compelling.
I also like being called a fanboi so go ahead.

They're better than pretty much everyone else out there, IMO.
There's no such thing as perfection, but CCP come closer than most. -

Edited by: Maria Kalista on 14/12/2008 15:53:22 Edited by: Maria Kalista on 14/12/2008 15:51:56 I saw one of the new gates. Even in classic it looks far better then any other gate in classic thus far.
They also put in little stuff, like the warp sequence now has this yellow spinning in it on top of the white 'whoose'. I'm pretty sure that wasn't there before. There is more, but I can't put my finger on it right now (have to wait for ambulation, since I'm only a head now ), but, little things, where you knew they where different before.
And they do really do their best. Even though we have a (small) bunch of disgruntled Mac users, when you talk to the dev's, you know they are putting every shoulder they got underneath it, to get things fixed.
Edit: Ah (slaps herself on the head), remember one of the changes, new icons for rats. It are those little things that makes me sure they are not only slapping big things onto EVE, but also care for the smallish stuff.

Excellent follow up of what happens in this virtual univers, quick to correct, they listen the customers feedback, dont hide problems, and have a good drive of community.
bad point : It is not free
I love premium graph, all the ships, starbase, everything is nice, high level of quality.
I am paying my due monthly since 2004. Good Game.

I really enjoyed the new gates until one day realization came to me that this new design is, how shall i say .. more cartoonish .. these new gates reminded me of certain mediocre tv series that i did not really like.
What they have done right recently is given us mac users a patch that boosted my fps from about 5 inside a POS, 10 on grid, 30 in warp to 13 in POS and 20-25 on grid. When i used to play EVE on Windows that i had running on this Mac i got 60 fps typically. So having 5-10 fps playing via Mac client was a significant downgrade.

My top three things in the game are:
1) Interceptors. Every single one is used regularly in the game. I would love a tier 3 version.
2) Heat. Great idea, great effect when used correctly, adds that little bit of extra skill to the game.
3) Lag. For the most part this is solved, its only when we get to silly numbers that it becomes hard and even then its playable. I have every confidence that even fights on that scale will be manageably good.
My only real concern with eve is the cost of the ship you fly vs the cost of the loot you pick up from a kill. In my opinion this is what is killing solo and small gang pvp, the gain isn't worth the loss.

They have been very quick getting us the QR 1.03 patch to address crappy FPS and memory leaks. If you look through the stickies you will find the workaround for the crappy FPS and memory leaks caused by the QR 1.03 patch.

They fixed the stuff they broke.
Sadly that sound like "normal" behavior, but in general it's not. Not many companies admit that they screwed something up and fixed it. Stop whining. |

eve is really really good, and the reason there is so much whining is BECAUSE of how good it is, I have this idea that the closer anything gets to perfection, the more glaring the flaws become. Back when we had Cavalry Ravens and you crossed your fingers and prayed every time you jumped that the next grid would load and not leave you floating in darkness, the little things like missile and weapon imbalances were hardly noticed, but now that the game is so refined, the few problems left are that much more obvious. __________________________________________________ I was Amarr before they were the FOTM and I'll be Amarr after it!

I know many will disagree but I love Faction War. It allows for PvP play that is not just killing for the sake of a killboard. It is a great way to indoruce people to PvP and gives those of us that like the RP a chance to have the best of both worlds.

Having worked in the software business for 25 years... I can't say that CCP are particularly worse in quality of code or quality of service than anyone else in the industry generally. Specific issues can be raised and you wonder if they are all smoking crack, but over the course of five years I think they come out of it looking pretty good.
And then you add in the fact that they are having to fix problems that nobody else has ever encountered (single-shard world etc) and that their concept has not been imitated successfully by anyone; suddenly they are in the upper echelons of software companies that exist right on the bleeding edge and still make money.
They have every right to be extremely proud of their accomplishments.
This doesn't mean they are beyond criticism, and in lots of areas they have done a truly awful job. T20, the resulting BPO lottery, boot.ini, the way rolepayers just aren't accommodated properly, the appalling user interface, lack of transparency, the petition system, the logs, the whole issue of desync and how they handled that at first. The list of gripes seems never ending.
But if you get your head out of the concrete mixer and take a good look at the whole of what they've created, all you can do is stand up and applaud.
This is the game I have wanted to play since 1980, and there's nothing else in the world that could take it's place.

I would be hard for me to pick out exactly what I love with Eve but I will rattle some off the top of my head...
Art - this universe is beautiful (ships, background of space, gates, etc) and it keeps getting better. The art people at CCP are original and have done a great job!
PvP - I like the fact that getting killed does not mean automatically respawnin ten seconds with exactly the same stuff for free. I have been mad in those times I lost stuff but even loss only makes me want to return and try again.
Depth - When CCP talks about 'professions', its real. You really can spend all your game time pursuing a particular profession because. Warriors (pvpers), industrialists, miners, missioners and salvagers, people who are into the politics, the whole 0.0 life style, etc.
Support - I have played a lot of games where the creators come out with the game, sell it, come out with an expansion and then move on to another project and leave those gamers who fell in love with that game in the dust. Eve is not discarded, it is expanded, supported and continually developed.

I've had some pretty harsh words for them in the past, but I love what they've done, for the most part...
- Much more personal. - Continuing efforts to make the game better. - Quantum Rise...yeah, I said it. Lag is 3x better now. - Devs on the forums (need moar!) - Trinity and QR artwork - is excellent. - Continuous bug-fixing. The remaining bugs really are minor. (Well, almost all of them.) - Harsh PvP - In-depth economy - Real, profitable, professions. Try WoW if you disagree. - A sand-box universe.
...Now please let me have standings with Sansha already!
...But overall, I luvs them.

You damned FanBoi!!! Now, that's out of the way...
Actually, I lost my fanboi status a while ago. But, I can say that most of what CCP has done is pretty damn impressive. When it relates to the gameplay itself. Anything and everything they are doing within the game world itself is pretty damn interesting, even when I think it is rather stupid in a long run, like musical instruments. /me Shakes fist at Goonies.
Its the Community relations they really need to work on.

I think CCP does really good in the art department.
Unfortunately, their user interface department fails at such epic level that players are staring at the overview, modules and chat box much more than at the pretty graphics.
They are really good at addressing network and lag issues.
Unfortunately, their boot.ini gets whacked every patch ;) ;)

Give them a little slack, look at the community they have to relate to...
I'd rather bug hunt every line of code in the game than be one of their GMs.
On the other hand, they've really lived up to the sandbox mentality they shoot for. Consequences have meaning, being destroyed hurts.
They've acheived a pretty hardcore PvP game without giving into the obnoxious nature of hardcore PvPers. In the event of an emergency, my ego may be used as a floatation device.

This, p. much. There is not now, nor does there appear to be in development, a tactical, non-twitch, PvP-focused space game. Therefor it is at the top of the heap by default.

Have to say I feel CCP generally do a fantastic job. Decent updates with no charges, constant strive for better hardware, commitment to the title. Overall one of the better game developers out there imo.
I would say though than in some areas CCP could improve.
