Was the new skill system announced in Wrangler's news item cancelled? (Asking that since I can't find it in the patch notes.)
Quote: This will be done through a new system in the development pipeline, currently scheduled for deployment next TuesdayÆs patching opportunity* during regularly scheduled downtime.

Yes start planning, because you will only be able to apply the SP on the char with the highest SP on the account anyway...

My favs:
Quote: Science & Industry
* Several blueprints were missing the bill of materials tab. They will show correctly now.
Quote: Graphics
* Players will no longer be followed by an explosion effect after warping out from a fight.
Why my explosion friend follow me no more?

Just wait until the patch is deployed. You will have a redeem item button in your loginscreen (maybe even in the ESC-menu ingame)click that after the new patch goes live, select the Prima ship and give it to your character. ____________ nerf metagaming, boost fun |

When you log on after the patch, you will see a 'redeem items' button on the character select screen..click that and select the character that you want to recieve the new ship. It will be in your ship hangar when you log on to the char. (character must be in station)

No changes to the workflow mechanisms of Planetary Interaction? I thought several years of people running POS like mad was enough of an indicator that you can go overboard with repetition and complexity. I can't even begin to count the friends lost over time because of that, at least come up with a way to restart harvestors collectively, or allow multiple selections of PINs.

So, to clarify, there are skill changes coming next week; we are all getting a free ship for PI; we will know more soon.
PS it might take skill to power slide a freighter, but it takes magic to fly with your hull exploded and stretched across the system.

Ditto on "No SP pool introduction? No PI fixes? No progress on teh lags?"
Things I liked:
Quote: * Memory usage has been improved with missiles, maps, and PINÆs. * Frames per second has been improved when using warp disruption bubbles.
Question:
Quote: The surface gravity of several prime fiction planets has been changed.
What does this mean? Since when have there ever been gravity calculations in EVE?
Rebuttle:
Originally by: Jugger Takashi I was hoping for a "We removed learningskills and added the SP from this group to you SP pool. Now go learn something new!"
No! You people need to get over this whole idea. It was a rumor that started from the SP pool idea when we didn't know what the gift was gonna be after DT. They're not removing learning skills!

A FIX FIXES A PROBLEM
SOME ONE HAS DEFINITELY NOT FILLED THEIR DOWNTIME QUOTA
These were quick fixes (in the grand scheme of the game). Someone had to go in and change some numbers to be more realistic. The lights and the gravity are game immersion fixes. These were also fixes that didn't require much code monkey time.
This signature is useless, but it is red.

These are also the sort of fixes you can give to a newbie to do - give them a list of planets, tell them to go through and make sure this field is between 0.75 and 1.25, if it isn't put a random number in in that range.
Conversely fixing rockets would require more changes and testing - the testing part being important as its a task you couldn't necessarily give to a newbie as they wouldn't have the knowledge to know if things were now correct.

Doesn't matter how much newbie dev time you allocate, they're not going to get a change that influences the game balance inside one release period. Should those newbie devs sit there twiddling their thumbs or do something useful.

eve is not played in one timezone. think about how complex it would become if everyone kept referring to their local time. Uing eve time makes it easy to coordinate over multible timezones.

I completely agree. What a dumb restriction. What if you've stopped training your high skill char in favour of another? Sounds like a rushed coding job to me.

Probably the gravity value will have an impact on DUST514 like: - How high can you jump; - How much weight can you carry; - How fast you fall, etc. ... or maybe not. Just some speculation.
Was looking forward for the Epic Arc fixes as well, I really like those.

The only thing that annoys me in PI is that the windows are transparent and the tex is barely readable on some planets. This is not consistent with my Settings where I turned off the transparency and it is still applied to those windows.
If not for this patch, please consider fixing it for the next one.

Exactly. I don't see why PI didn't ship with this feature. It seems obvious that PI should have had extractor grouping.

Question:

EVE planets and stars have had attributes that aren't used for in-game things since EVE came out. Among them is gravity strength. It can be assumed that someday these things might mean things. In the mean time, it makes sense to make the planets mentioned in chronicles and fiction as livable to have livable attributes.

This video from fan fest 2009 talks about learning skills. CCP believes they were implemented poorly, and the final conclusion reached in that video seemed to indicate that we would eventually get a skillpoint refund from them.

As is my problem. My second toon is the one I was training, not my main with the higher skill points. The loss of SP was for this one but I'm forced to use them on the one that hasn't been training for weeks :(

Regarding SP addition. Why don't you tie SP to our accounts and we can use that on any char we have, not the one you pick?
It's unfair to force anything to players, especially if it's as simple as this feature. You should give SP pool to player account and player can choose on which char(s) to apply those SP. Wouldn't that be more appropriate for everyone?

This I hope, too. I wonder how many P4 items and other valuable stuff got duped at massive amounts. Probably a few Outposts worth.
Well you know how CCP is about announcing fixes to exploits ahead of time. However I suspect this exploit will remain in place due to the lack of PI fixes in the patch notes. It's probably tied to a number of other bugs and the lack of patch notes on those bugs leads me to believe the exploit will remain in place much longer.

This is correct, more information on how it will work will be added to the patch notes as soon as possible.
Ok this doesn't really affect me because I don't run alts. However, I can certainly see how this would have a negative impact for some people. How would this remediation help a player with a high skill point character that is no longer training anything and the player has no plans to train them further? This creates an unbalanced reward/remediation that some players get to benefit from, and makes it useless to others. I recommend CCP revisits this decision prior to deployment in order to maintain balance and fairness.
what good would it be to gain skill points on a trader hauler alt that has max skills within the scope of his/her usefulness? Escoce Low Sec Miner and Trader Interstellar Tritanium United Trade Syndicate |

Maybe we shouldn't be as concerned as we are, since they are going to give us a very small pool of SP. I don't expect them giving us 1 million SP or more. Maybe up to few thousand SP, no more. So, it's not such a big deal after all.

"These skill points will be assigned to the highest skill point character on the account"
This disturbs me a bit as I acquired an additional character after the downtime and that character has more skill points than my normal character on my main account. I don't intend to play that additional character as much as I do my main one, and have even started a new eve account to transfer it over to, so in essence I will be forced to place those skill points on a character that I do not want to put them on because I cannot complete the transfer of the additional character to the other account before the patch?...
I hope no one gets me wrong, I appreciate the effort that CCP puts into bringing us the game and supporting it, and the extra skill points are a nice touch too, I just hate having the feeling that someone's giving me a gift, but telling me I can't use the thing in a manner that would benefit my account as intended by CCP in giving the gift in the first place.
anyway, I'm not mad, just a little disappointed....

These are also the sort of fixes you can give to a newbie to do - give them a list of planets, tell them to go through and make sure this field is between 0.75 and 1.25, if it isn't put a random number in in that range.
Conversely fixing rockets would require more changes and testing - the testing part being important as its a task you couldn't necessarily give to a newbie as they wouldn't have the knowledge to know if things were now correct.
Kithran
Yeah, don't invest a little time into fixing something that matters and instead invest next to no time into fixing something that has no effect at all.
*golflcap*
*facepalm* If you're going to contradict something then at least have the decency to address the points made.
Doesn't matter how much newbie dev time you allocate, they're not going to get a change that influences the game balance inside one release period. Should those newbie devs sit there twiddling their thumbs or do something useful.
I was referring to the point that fixing rockets also requires changing 1 or 2 numbers (it was in the part I quoted) The effort to do this is probably the same as changing a number in a planet's description.
And my point still holds: changing that number has no impact on the game whatsoever. There are so many other things, things people have requested/talked about for months or even years. Like the order of some menu items ("Trash" right next to "Activate"). That would make a real difference and cannot possibly be harder to fix than a typo.
But I'm sure you are very glad you were able to bring the "wrong developer" argument once more? So *facepalm* my ass.

Like the jump bridge bug - You know when you use a jump bridge or jump portal, then the selected item window fails to update. (still no response to my bug report btw)
Or how about the chat window text bug? When it overlaps and gets cutoff.....
and what about when you dock and none of your ships show up in the hanger sometimes, requiring a relog.
Oh well i guess, bugs that effect gameplay aren't near as important as a pink texture when zooming. :*( |

About the "removing learning skills" topic. you all are quite excited about the SP compensation well i'm also but. on my account that 4.4mil sp spent at quite early in game and little suffering in other development then it has made up its time by now and is worth investment paying me dividends every single minute.
what happens to our atributes after that? so i start to train at almosyt half speed what i'm doing now?
and p.s. that talk is totally offtopic.... wierd... :P Low skills and high standing IS a problem. |

Removing learning skills without proper notification would be a huge mistake. Just imagine: the skill queues of all characters, who were training these skills by that moment, would stop. Awesome present. So, if learning skills are going to be removed one day, there should be a notification in advance, also with in-game pop-up window. Or, as alternative, players should be able to do it manually. Well, there are many ways how it can be done, but you can't just do it as "learning skills have been removed, SP pool added" way.

Relax, not gonna happen. I'm amazed that most people don't seem to understand that this patch exists almost exclusively to hand out some extra SP to compensate for lost playing time last week. Everything else in the patch consists of whatever odds and ends they had ready to throw in. Ain't no big thang.
I will be moar amazed at people who don't set a skill to train for at least 24 hours during downtime tomorrow. It's scheduled to last 4.5 hours and anyone who isn't prepared for at least a 16-hour downtime isn't paying attention. |

I am glad the updated patch notes do refer to fixing the standings problem in epic arcs. My suggestion would be to go ahead and tell players previously affected by this problem what to do after the patch. Do we file petitions for every character who got kicked out of an epic arc, or can we start the epic arc over without waiting 3 months?

Is this post serious? You want high reward content to be in high security space? That is a completely game breaking way of developing EVE. EVE is (in theory) built around the concept of more risk correlating to more reward. It always has been.

Will there be any issues with applying the SP gift to the currently training skill, as opposed to to a skill that is not currently training? Using the 100k number solely as an example, what happens if we apply 100k points to a Rank 1 skill that has 1414 points in it? What happens if we apply the points to a rank 1 skill that has 240k points in it?

When a player changes the shader setting to low, it will no longer encounter flickering and transparency issues on models. This will be fixed in a future expansion
Just so you know, this bug happens with *all* shader settings, no just low. The only bit that helps a little is to turn off sun occlusion. All other graphics settings don't help.

In this case it would be also unfair. Those who missed 10 minutes would get a relatively huge advantage over those who were smart enough to have long skill queue. So there are only 2 acceptable ways of giving the bonus: 1. Same to all (just a gift to calm the masses). 2. Individual compensations based on actual time lost, attributes, implants and so on. This would be the most fair way, but would be much harder to do.
I would prefer the second option, but well, as the proverb says, "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth". This gift wasn't a must.

Anybody who were around when level 5 missions were introduced (and payed a bit of attention) would know that they were supposed to be for low sec only.
Further,

The funny thing is that this "gift" will now actually put me behind everyone else as they'll get a 100k skill point boost and mine will go to waste on an alt character that isn't being trained and won't benefit from any additional skills. I know there are others in this situation as well.
Seems like a kick in the teeth, but whatever. **** happens

I don't think the SP is just to make up for the missed training. I figure its also to make up for the missed oppurtunity to actually play the game as well. So if they only gave it to players with short training queues, it wouldn't be 'fair' on players who were trying to play. I was actually at home through that downtime, usually I'd be at work, and was looking to play. So while I didn't miss out on SPs, I did miss out on oppurtunity to make ISK or standing. I'll accept the SP to make up for that, because it would be a nightmare to work out everyone's individual losses.
Whatever solution they came up with, it'd be extremely hard to please everyone. If you get more SPs then you lost in the downtime, you're still getting an advantage. Does it really matter how it compares to everyone elses advantage?

I haven't done much mission running because of this which was one of my main activities in eve. The last patch seriously ruined playing Eve for me.

The Primae is a limited thing but I believe as long as you haven't used the SP-buff, it'll still be there later. So say for some reason you can log on in three months (example!), you should still be able to distribute your SP bonus as you haven't used it yet.

Those skills are KILLING new pilots, i've showed EVE to 5 friends, ALL of them like the game BUT do not want to play it becouse you have to learn learning for 3 Months, to be able to learn something else in an normal timeframe.... also i personally do not really understand what they are good for than keeping unpatient people out of the game, GIVE US UNPAITIENT PEOPLE CCP SO E HAVE MORE TARGETS TO SHOT AT!
Thoose Skills Shorten for example: Battleship lvl5 from lvl3 for 9 days, that's nothing if you have to wait 51 days....!
It would be awesome, to remove thoose skills, add the Attribute Points to Character all at 5, and refund the Skillpoints to use it on something more usefull...

* When a player changes the shader setting to low, it will no longer encounter flickering and transparency issues on models. * This will be fixed in a future expansion The customs office will no longer turn pink when zooming in and out. * The crash reporter will no longer error out when attempting to report your crash. * The log off button on the ESC menu will now work as it should without crashing your client and attempting to launch the crash report tool.
Miscellaneous
* Warping probes will no longer cause any exceptions errors.

IOW: Would the fix for the epic arc have been part of this patch if no one had mentioned it? And where's the "Excellence" in that?
My guess is that the patch notes were drafted in a planning meeting a couple of weeks ago, then someone goofed and forgot to pass on that other additions were made to the patch. On top of that, projects not originally slated to be in the patch were finished ahead of schedule, and so were included within the last day or so. This always happens with software development of any kind.
What's unusual is that CCP releases their patch notes in advance of applying the patch. Most developers of any kind of software won't release the patch notes until the patch is released. The fact that CCP does this makes them kind of unique, and shows (to me at least) that they're trying very hard to communicate with their users much more transparently than other developers. The alternative is waiting until the patch is deployed, then surprising everyone with what was patched and what wasn't. Which would you rather have?

Because you weren't smart enough to put a long training skill before update like everyone else does? No. The free sp is for downtime and the inability to supply a service we are paying for, not because a bunch of nubs don't know to put a long skill in when CCP does an update of any kind. So in short, the answer is no, we should all get free SP.
In short, when CCP does and update, train Battlecruiser to 5.

I have no idea where you obtained your knowledge about software development. But if you intend to take a service offline for an hour or more your customer will demand a reason why. And "we're patching something" is not the kind of answer that will get you a "Go". Even open source projects will announce the changes that will be made in a release.

Simple solution to most ppls tears! CCP take note
On most Clans/ Corps/ e.t.c for any game... when an admin wants to change something they add a "poll" to the website. each logged in player gets to choose what check box they want. At the end it shows 45% wanted "blah" and 35% wanted "bleh", and 20% of jack ass's wanted "meh"
VERY VERY simple to implement, gezz ill even do it for you for free!!
PS i think learning skills should be removed, but then ppl stats whould go a bit wonky, i built my Toon to have 22perception 18 memory e.t.c but after playing relised i needed social to 18, so trained in that learning skill to get it to what i needed
......... am waiting for the flaming guys, so do your worst!

I appreciate the change, how CCP handles issues now, when I have the latest relocation of servers in mind. First they made, what they always do, extending the DT, then again, again, disappointing. But the point, where they just informed about a delay in about-time made me think, they improve the dealing with all of us and reduce disappointements. Congrats to that, CCP! Btw: nobody who's planning the learning queue has really lost learning time...

That is one of the cases yeah, but i'd say 75% of the times you have seasoned players recomending those skills first, which in my opnion is plain dumb. But if a new player get's the idea to train learning skills first i personally would recomend them to at least be able to have some fun and get a income first, being able to blow things up etc really removes the tedium of the learning skills.

I know, i remember myself, first got skills to do some mining and to do missions, and the next WERE the learning skills, becouse i realized otherwise it would take me ages to get better ships...

There are two major misconceptions of low-sec. One is that there are good guys out there who you don't know. The second is that low-sec is the place where the Devil dwells, there are people ****d and babies are eaten, or vica versa... Its not true at all. Even though both are false these do not contradict each other. Most of this garbage belief is made out of over exaggerated few-time bad experiences of other high-sec dwellers in low-sec. If you want to run missions in low-sec there a few simple rules you must accept, adhere and honor if you wish to thrive. If there is anyone in the system, who is not blue to you, is a foe out there just to kill you. Its that simple. No matter what they babble on local, they will 98% shot you if they get a chance. If anyone not surely friendly enters the system either warp out to a safe spot and cloak, or run a max distance 360¦ directional scan every 5 seconds to check for combat scanner probes, if you see any warp out and cloak. Even though this is only small fraction of the story, it will most likely keep the casual high sec dweller from dying TOO OFTEN. (Yes everyone dies in low sec, even badass seasoned pirates too, just a matter of time and circumstances. Kinda inevitable. Just dont bring your zillion isk worth afk-lvl 5 rattlesnake to low-sec, this simple.) After some time spent in low-sec you even will start to admire its straightness, simplicity and calculability. Way better than high sec.
Anyway sorry for being off-topic here, as low-sec stuff is not part of this discussion about this patch.
To be honest I'd like to see learning skills removed too, and spent skillpoints relocated. As a relatively new pod pilot in New Eden, I felt every hour spent on learning skills robbing me from some good moments with some nice new toys, which are so easy to acquire in the beginning. In my opinion it takes just long enough to learn many skills even with perfect abilities. And the game is complex enough to filter out those who dont belong here. Those months to train learning are sure a pain especially for new characters rushing to taste something new every day.
EDIT: Oh, and one more thing. Thanks for the patch and new ship CCP! I like to collect these unique stuff, even if they are partially useless because of their one-time-only nature. I would appreciate some new permanent ships and stuff to the market, though. :)

Getting rid of learning, i hope not. For one thing if u do it in the 100% bonus, its like a month to get all of them, and only what like 3 months for you to catch up because of the SP boost? It gives u more toys in the long run guy. WAY more toys WAY sooner.
If they get rid of learning skills, think of the advantage those who can afford +5 sets. Now it gives them a boost on an epic scale. it used to be the difference between +10 and +15. But when its +0 or +5 that is going to be a bigger deal.
Gives us something to force new players to do to get them into the swing of Eve. Forsaking one thing for another, (ie frigate 3 for focus 4) etc. It'l actually help in the long run.
although it would be cool to have those said millions, but only cool, not the right thing to do.

I hope they fix the PI issue where you can't get closer than 7,500km from the customs office if there is a warp gate to a mission room near the planet... I have a PI infrastructure setup on a planet, such as this, which I can't remove my items from the customs office. I have to submit a petition to have someone else do it for me. (Yes a bug report was filled out, and the petition folks acknowledged the problem) Trying to fly to the customs office is just like trying to fly to a planet, it always seems to be about 7km away, and you can't use a MWD as you are in a mission area ...

No it will still be the same percentage difference or close seeing most ppl have 5/4 in learning skills anyways. Its only ******s or new players that dont. I have 5/5 and I wold welcome the change.

Not entierly sure if this is in the right place or not I dont use the fourms much but a bug I discovered is that when you are in a wormhole system and you click on a system to center your screen on it it centers you on some gallente 1.0 system no matter what other system you click on. If this isnt in the right spot then I could just edit it to something useless like most of the replys on this topic (the complaints). Thanks anyways hope ya fix it I Waz HeRe |

Originally by: Evelyne Amarr I appreciate the change, how CCP handles issues now, when I have the latest relocation of servers in mind. First they made, what they always do, extending the DT, then again, again, disappointing. But the point, where they just informed about a delay in about-time made me think, they improve the dealing with all of us and reduce disappointements. Congrats to that, CCP!
Pulling back this... CCP, you can have my free leaning SP, obviously they're placed way better at your strategies.

I don't know, the response from the guy was pretty serious :P or maybe im in all serious mode because I am at work and can't recognize a joke...oh which reminds me I shouldn't check eve forums at work...so much for my professionalism :)
Back on topic...I'm dieing to find out how much SP we are getting...guess the 100k is a good estimate since that was what was given on sisi but a confirmation from CCP would be soo nice :)

Well of course I could destroy my little PI camp and eat the cost, but why should I? I'm a marketer, I'm there to make money, not lose money due to glitches that can be patched so the next guy doesn't do the same thing... they should have turned those particular planets off or fix the problem.
10mil is 10mil towards my next plex... I don't take losing money lightly... :)

even though before it said exactualy the same thing only 13:30, they change it as if ppl will doubt that they read it right in the first place. why not say oups again will be delayed by a further 1 hr (proubaly 7)

Yeah, yeah... This was not unexpected at all... Think positively. You just got one hour more to do things... Like real life stuff... You know like take a shower, cook something proper to eat, throw out the pizza boxes from underneath the desk, change to clean clothes... You know the things people tend to forget just because "oh, just one more lvl4 then I am really going to do this... just ONE more!"

Patch notes for Tyrannis 1.0.2, released June 29, 2010
CRITICAL.
Due to the unprecedented nature of the downtime on the 23rd and 24th of June, players have been awarded a number of bonus skill points to assign to a skill or skills of their choice. These skill points will be assigned to the highest skill point character on the account and can be applied by right clicking the desired skill in the character sheet.
100k skill points is considered critical? good to have replaced but hardly, critical!
Market
òOxygen and Water will now be listed under the planetary materials and not under trade goods in the market window. òPlanetary Materials market group will now display the correct icon.
and this is considered important too? did we players suddenly forget there is a market search fuction and a item quick bar there to use? Been there for years in fact.
Sheesh! shouldn't you be concentrating on an actual faulty 96 hour timer issue on your new PI setup. Where you cannot stop it, as it trudles on in an never ending loop without destroying the extractor and replacing it with a new one,I know they are not massivley expensive to replace,at least for most of us players. However, the point is it's actually a broken/faulty game function and should not pushed out of the way for trivia.
Sorry but it' kind of takes the Wow!factor out of "wow here's your new ship toy" but we haven't fixed a fault in the code which controls a crucial item involved in the PI operation. Again it's not the isk involved it's the customer perception(s) of the product delivered,
Sorry! but thats the way most folks look at things these days, you don't paper over the cracks to hide the faults or fiddle arround with minor items you fix the faults then give a shinney toy as by way of an appology as and if you feel its appropriate.

wow...............people still insist on smack talking ccp about how long it takes for them to deploy a new patch, or not fixing previously known issues or whatever the hell else. But they are all still so adicted to the game.
What do you want next? CCP to run the plexes for you? Mining all that arkonor for you? or how about they wipe your arse every time you take a dump??
I have an idea.....why dont you go make an mmo as epic as eveonline, and let us know how well you get on with updating it and patching it as much as ccp has done here.
yes there are issues that could do with being fixed. yes it would be brilliant if everything always went as planned and on time. but the woork ccp does is a real life thing (its a job for real people in the real world) and real life never goes as smoothly as you would like.
i suggest you take the extra hours dt and spend it with your families or doing something a little more constructive than playing games.

Originally by: Esrevid Nekkeg
Originally by: Smuggo Smuggins Wow, amazing how many people are scared to go to low-sec for their precious missions. It really isn't that bad.
Yes it is. For me at least. Of the 9 times I ventured into low-sec, I only survived once.... Each and every time I died at the hands of players, not NPC's. And the one time I did survive, I was alone in the system the entire duration of my presence there.
Well you must not be paying enough attention to your surroundings. I've been doing exploration sites out in low-sec for months now and have only been ganked twice, and both times because I did something stupid.
I suppose your right low sec exploration sites are the same as lvl 5 missions ??
Your running theses eploration sites in a nice big golem that can be scanned in a couple seconds ??. Personally if I run low sec exploration sites its in a small fast ship. Dont ever seem to get warp scrambled. In lvl 5 missions I was frequently unable to warp out for several minutes. A pve fitted ship with support ships needing to remote repair is a sitting duck that one pvp fitted BS could easily destroy or are you suggesting pve fitted ships can generally kill pvp fitted ships? Now you can use arguement that should take a full fleet of people, so spend an hour waiting for everyone to get together and headout to do missions. Word gets around to local pirates so you can then spend 2 hours hiding in your pve fitted ships and ultimately have to fail mission. . Hmm that sounds fun why wouldnt people want to pay good money to do that??
Either they make pve fitted ship viable for pvp or forget people missioning in low sec. Just wont happen. And current changes means normal mission runnners have to spend lots of time going several jumps to run missions which lots are getting fed up of. If things are not changed I think this game will die a slow death!!!

personally could care less about game time, but even the employees of a company don't want to be linked to constant failure.. If you played a sport, would you always want to be on the team that ""just never played to there expectations and potential " or the team that succeeded?
Been in sales a number of years, I know shyte happens, but it's called good ole fashion CYA !! If your customers expect you to fail, is that a good thing??

Shut up and stop whining about extented downtime. It will be ready when it is ready. If you can predict future better than CCP go ahead and apply a job for them.
If you can't do better than CCP then shut up. If you can do better than CCP work for them.
I'm sure CCP does it's best to keep things running and will provide us a quality game experience now and future.
You all should be thankful that you get constant upgrades and patches to keep things running smoothly. Of course there is a lot still to be fixed and I'm sure CCP knows what they are doing and when.
Try to be little bit more supportive towards CCP.
Period.

I think the point is that CCP say that they expect things to be sorted by time 'X', it normally goes beyond that. So what should be happening is CCP adding thirty mins to an hour to their update down time.

If you work for CCP you are not allowed to play Eve anymore... kind of means that their most dedicated customers and players are incentivised not to work for them. Equally, CCP wants to hire people from the pool of players.
This kind of makes a negative feedback whereby only the crap players work at CCP. Does this mean that Eve will get more crap over time?

You all should be thankful that you get constant upgrades and patches to keep things running smoothly. Of course there is a lot still to be fixed and I'm sure CCP knows what they are doing and when.
Try to be little bit more supportive towards CCP.
Period.
Agreed

Correct me if im wrong... but that comment is a little redundant due to the fact you are a player too?
yes i am a player and yes i have a wife and 3 kids. atm my wife is at work, my eldest child in school, my second child is eating lunch and watching telly while my youngest is in bed sleeping. you wont find me online much during the day as i dont tend to play until the kids are in bed and the wife is watching her tv programmes.

why should we, the whole reason this patch is being deployed is because of epic **** up last week, then they do it again, besides most ppl want to use CCP products to play, not work on them. So how about you shut up

Originally by: Avenger1 Patch notes for Tyrannis 1.0.2, released June 29, 2010
CRITICAL.
Due to the unprecedented nature of the downtime on the 23rd and 24th of June, players have been awarded a number of bonus skill points to assign to a skill or skills of their choice. These skill points will be assigned to the highest skill point character on the account and can be applied by right clicking the desired skill in the character sheet.
100k skill points is considered critical? good to have replaced but hardly, critical!
Market
òOxygen and Water will now be listed under the planetary materials and not under trade goods in the market window. òPlanetary Materials market group will now display the correct icon.
and this is considered important too? did we players suddenly forget there is a market search fuction and a item quick bar there to use? Been there for years in fact.
Sheesh! shouldn't you be concentrating on an actual faulty 96 hour timer issue on your new PI setup. Where you cannot stop it, as it trudles on in an never ending loop without destroying the extractor and replacing it with a new one,I know they are not massivley expensive to replace,at least for most of us players. However, the point is it's actually a broken/faulty game function and should not pushed out of the way for trivia.
Sorry but it' kind of takes the Wow!factor out of "wow here's your new ship toy" but we haven't fixed a fault in the code which controls a crucial item involved in the PI operation. Again it's not the isk involved it's the customer perception(s) of the product delivered,
Sorry! but thats the way most folks look at things these days, you don't paper over the cracks to hide the faults or fiddle arround with minor items you fix the faults then give a shinney toy as by way of an appology as and if you feel its appropriate.
Sorry sir, the guy who says "oops, thats broke" and htis the fix button is on vacation ^^. P.S. i hereby declare that i am not "most folks" apaprently ^^ What! what was that? no i swear i heard something, i bet its after ME >.< |

Originally by: Tiberious Heth wow...............people still insist on smack talking ccp about how long it takes for them to deploy a new patch, or not fixing previously known issues or whatever the hell else. But they are all still so adicted to the game.
What do you want next? CCP to run the plexes for you? Mining all that arkonor for you? or how about they wipe your arse every time you take a dump??
I have an idea.....why dont you go make an mmo as epic as eveonline, and let us know how well you get on with updating it and patching it as much as ccp has done here.
yes there are issues that could do with being fixed. yes it would be brilliant if everything always went as planned and on time. but the woork ccp does is a real life thing (its a job for real people in the real world) and real life never goes as smoothly as you would like.
i suggest you take the extra hours dt and spend it with your families or doing something a little more constructive than playing games.
Excuse me! but as I am Sem-retired have a lovely wife and family inccluding grand children with whom I spend as much time with as I want, add to that two horses to look after and a sizeable garden. I think my life is prety full and undominated by EVE. So go lecture some infantile still wet behind the ears child, only do it properly not stupidly or they will take the total P**s out of you.

You guys whine and ***** too much.
I always like patches. They show progress, regardless of how long they take to implement during server downtime.
Appreciate the fact that we -are- getting stuff fixed. And that we're getting new stuff into the game.
If you seriously whine about server down time, you really need to consider what you do with your life, and how you value yourself and your time spent.

Obviously anything that can go wrong will, and so I can understand the position CCP is in to roll out patches in a timely manner, and the frustration they AND the community feel when estimates get pushed back.
Having said that, if the shoe were on the other foot, do you think CCP would be as forgiving as the playerbase?
For example, we all know that we are scheduled to pay once per month to be able to log in and play EvE. This day is something that can be planned for, predicted, and calculated by. So what would happen if you were an hour late on that payment? Two hours? But you sent an email updating CCP that the payment would be an hour late. Then two hours?
I'm sure they would still let you log in. Really. -------------------- Not in cruelty, Not in wrath, The Reaper came today, An Angel visited, This gray path, And took the cake away. |

Originally by: Smuggo Smuggins Wow, amazing how many people are scared to go to low-sec for their precious missions. It really isn't that bad.
Yes it is. For me at least. Of the 9 times I ventured into low-sec, I only survived once.... Each and every time I died at the hands of players, not NPC's. And the one time I did survive, I was alone in the system the entire duration of my presence there.
Well you must not be paying enough attention to your surroundings. I've been doing exploration sites out in low-sec for months now and have only been ganked twice, and both times because I did something stupid.
I suppose your right low sec exploration sites are the same as lvl 5 missions ??
Your running theses eploration sites in a nice big golem that can be scanned in a couple seconds ??. Personally if I run low sec exploration sites its in a small fast ship. Dont ever seem to get warp scrambled. In lvl 5 missions I was frequently unable to warp out for several minutes. A pve fitted ship with support ships needing to remote repair is a sitting duck that one pvp fitted BS could easily destroy or are you suggesting pve fitted ships can generally kill pvp fitted ships? Now you can use arguement that should take a full fleet of people, so spend an hour waiting for everyone to get together and headout to do missions. Word gets around to local pirates so you can then spend 2 hours hiding in your pve fitted ships and ultimately have to fail mission. . Hmm that sounds fun why wouldnt people want to pay good money to do that??
Either they make pve fitted ship viable for pvp or forget people missioning in low sec. Just wont happen. And current changes means normal mission runnners have to spend lots of time going several jumps to run missions which lots are getting fed up of. If things are not changed I think this game will die a slow death!!!
Dude, obviously you have never had success or scored big. What you need to do is join militia, and figure it out. FW will teach you how to survive fast. I live in lowsec, have a sec status >0 and make bank out there. Doing whatever, it just takes brains.

Great!
I don't mind short patch release cycles, even if that'd equal an extra "estimated" 90 minutes of regular downtime each week!
For now there's no change about e.g. the contact list being mentioned. Patch notes in need of getting updated point to the question how close bugfixing is kept track of internally -- i assume there might have been done more minor fixing which slipped to get mentioned? If so: Mention it as "some more fixing has been done"! Computer savvy people might be good readers taking a conclusive list as exactly that: Conclusive.
It's interesting to note the SP stuff in response to downtime has been labelled as CRITICAL, whereas some crashes just fell under category FIXES. I do appreciate the SP gesture, but CCP should remember the point that gifts unasked for must not necessarily make up for specific issuerelated disappointment.
It was interesting to note not only PLEX prices seemed to have gone down a bit, but PLEX trade volumes decreasing a bit, too...:
The butterfly effect is a metaphor that encapsulates the concept of sensitive dependence on initial conditions in chaos theory; namely that small differences in the initial condition of a dynamical system may produce large variations in the long term behavior of the system.
A small bugfix can make a huge difference.

CCP doesn't "give" us anything. We buy it. The service along with it's downtime. I would prefer a better approximation of the down time so I can plan my paid play time around their maintenance.

as far as my own tests have shown, you have to destroy the command centre (which also destroys all connecting facilities), before you can "upgrade" to an improved building. however, im still pretty new to all this myself, i could be misinformed.

This person totally has it nailed, In the past week CCP has stolen from me hours and hours of game time I have payed for and now again, I have to go to sleep it's that close to get up time already, Now I have lost another night. What has to be done, Has to be done but we need to be adequate compensated. My extra Account was closed because I couldn't pay, but I didn't get 2 days free time. I love this Game but really this is aski.. Forcing too much, the stress. Not only that but I have brought 3 people to the game who pay there Accounts and sure I got 30 days for each, However the loyalty is not replayed by this.

I'm a bit of a noob - trying to log on to try out the new features but getting 'Incompatible (version)'. I went to the Patches page but can't find the latest patch - how do I install it ?
Thanks
Linkage to the Download is a link to the next patch, I'd advice you add this website to your favourites... Linkage if you ever find yourself in a fair fight, you screwed up somewhere |

I'm just happy that I will no longer need a error reporter for my crash reporter's crashing....
Hopefully.
And why has it been delayed this time? Did CCP learn nothing from the last downtime?

Originally by: Darthion Illys You guys whine and ***** too much.
I always like patches. They show progress, regardless of how long they take to implement during server downtime.
Appreciate the fact that we -are- getting stuff fixed. And that we're getting new stuff into the game.
If you seriously whine about server down time, you really need to consider what you do with your life, and how you value yourself and your time spent.
paying customers always have the right to complain, also how many people that want to try eve log in on days when there is downtime??
Mistakes happen , BUT again if you are constabtly failing... do something to fix the issue or put REALISTIC downtimes =) Obviously aloy of you just have very low service expectations... please becopme one of my customers, pay me and let me fail while you pay me too =)
The BEST thing in the world still sucks if you can't use it. Far as the get a life LULZ comments...who says i am not working right noow

It is too easy to blame CCP for everything. Try to switch on your brains and think again. If you ever did a project covering more than one significant issue you should know that each issue normally has its own team and issues are closed independently of each other (unless the relate to each other from the beginning). So, for example, they wanted to introduce night lights on planets and assigned someone to it. His/her/their task was completed in time for this patch. Other teams are working on other issues - including those bugs that were reported to CCP.
CCP surely has its own vision of Eve's future. It may or may not coincide with what you anticipate. In any case you have to follow what they think is better for Eve or leave it. I am even sure they take constructive feedback into account if they can find it among other junk, so I guess if you want to influence the future of Eve - get a job with CCP.

They are sisi patches. So yes and no. And since i don't think there is a built in patch remover, if u apply a patch and it happens to not be the same, ud have to reinstall entire client. Don't quote me on that tho.

I would not use the manual patch method until the patch is complete and the auto downloader works. Changes may occur at any point in the patch process. It is possible to end up having to redownload the entire client. Just a word of caution.

Dude, obviously you have never had success or scored big. What you need to do is join militia, and figure it out. FW will teach you how to survive fast. I live in lowsec, have a sec status >0 and make bank out there. Doing whatever, it just takes brains.
DUDE your so right, except I dont rely on missions for ISK. I do them sometimes to pay for PVP ships if I lose them. I play in low sec and have made lots of isk over time. Unfortunately this is a game people pay to play. I can make isk in different ways but I have the skills to match having played since launch on more than one account however lots dont have this option and they rely on missions. Why make something less fun for people as this stops them playing. It wasnt broken before so why fix it ?? Ultimately anthing that stops people playing is bad for the game. The 'fix' wont make people mission in low sec and may lead to a drop in players. Not sure this is a good thing is all

Well its obvious that you never worked in the IT-Business specially in the service for paying customers.
When you shutdown the IT of an customer and come with an sorry there is something happend we cant expect and we held the IT down for another several hours, I am pretty shure this customer will tell you with a smile in his face that such things happen and you cant predict this and he will happily wait
hm, wait I am more shure this customer will tell you that every hour of server-down costs him monery and he will reimpurse you for this downtime

Maybe offsetting the bill with the "Stolen" game time from you? Im pretty sure you would still owe CCP? And yes i understand it Poor Customer Service etc..... but i dont see many threads thanking them when servers are up early on routine DT

Heyas CCP,
Just a tip--You would make it much easier on both yourselves and your customer base if you changed 2-3 things about the way you handled updating us on patches/server status/etc.
* Instead of just changing the number to a new ETA on the login screen, leave the original there, and post the new ETA as an update, marked as such, and with a timestamp. We want information, not to be placated, and that way we can see exactly how long it's been since we've heard from you. (That record can also be used by you to give better estimates in the first place as well)
* Don't force me to go to facebook/twitter/other 3rd party places to get information I should be able to get from you directly. I like my privacy, and don't want to give up any more than I have to just to get "more complete" server status updates on a service I'm already paying for.
* I don't mind if things take a little longer to get them right. You don't have to tell me things like "We're working as hard as we can to solve this." I'm already assuming that. (BTW, if that is ever NOT the case...feel free to let me know that part, so I know when rage is required, eh?) Instead, treat me with the respect that's conveyed by saying, "Right now, we're estimating that things will be going by 1430. If there is anything that changes before that, it will be posted here, or otherwise at 1430 we will post a new sitrep in this space." This at least respects my own time and yours.
Thanks much for all you do to bring us Eve.

So it seems to me that the one thing most people here is crying about (including myself) is the DT being extended.. I also know that most if not everyone that plays this game does so for fun, to escape RL, or both. I know this because I play for both reasons. As such I have some suggestions that might help alleviate some tensions while waiting for server to come back up.
1) Find something in RL that will help you relax. e.g. Fishing or any other 'RL' hobby 2) Find a website that will let you watch your favorite tv show or (in my case) Anime and watch it from the very first episode.(Curently on EPS 194 of Nartuo myself. or 3) Get on a PS3 or 360 and play games on there.
I personally am sadden by the extended extended DT but I also know that when it comes ti IT unexpected Problems arrise and has to be fixed..
To CCP I think you are doing a great job and want you to know to keep up the good work.

Apparently CCP is successful enough with this delays. Know Your Customer :) Do you really think anyone will quit playing Eve just because patch was delayed? I guess no. So they do not care that much about being precise on predictions. Their customers are us only - try to accomodate this thought. :)

To CCP: First, thank you for your continued hard work on making Eve one of the best games in the universe (pun intended). You're doing an excellent job regardless of what the uneducated, unknowing trolls think. I'm a software engineer myself, so yeah, I know. Kudos on this patch and kudos on hot dropping such difficult code into the pipeline on short notice to give us all mondo SP to use for our toons. I appreciate you taking the extra, unnecessary, effort to make up for some extra downtime that should have been expected by all the players (moving infrastructure is never easy or straightforward).
To Everyone Else: If you do not use SiSi (Singularity) to see the new features and get a head start on understanding upcoming patches, then STFU. You are given every opportunity to fully understand what has been fixed days, if not longer, before a patch is released. If you can't be bothered to tune in and see what's up, then you really need to keep your mouths shut... period. A bunch of whiny, crybaby BS on this thread that would have been eliminated had any of you tards bothered to use the tools CCP gives all of us. Learn to use SiSi and STFU.
As for fixes to problems with errant code in the game... I am sure I speak for all of CCP's developers and artists when I say - let's see you do it a**hole. If any of you had any clue how complex EVE is and how much work it takes to keep it not only alive and well, but to keep delivering *free* updates a couple times a year you might think twice before opening your mouths... though probably not - you trolls are all the same.
As for the Primae - CCP is introducing another ship to the game *and* they are giving it to everyone for free to aid in planetary interaction roles. Are there more suitable ships for this purpose? Yes. Can I fly more suitable ships? Yes. Can everyone? Err... no. And it's the the 'everyone else' that this ship will help the most. But in either case, do I appreciate the fact that I'm going to get one on each of my accounts? Yes I do. Just as I was happy to get an interbus shuttle, a zephyr, snowball launchers and snowballs and everything else CCP has ever given away. Why? How many other games do this? So again, if the Primae is not for you - fine - contract that b*tch to me - but in either case your about the most ungrateful lot I've ever seen - I'm guessing most of you losers are fat a** American's.
You people should be thanking CCP for all their continued hard work. No other MMO puts as much effort and talent into the concept, design and development of such an elaborate and complex simulation - I mean really... if this was WoW then sure - I can understand you being ****ed about things with gay cartoon graphics and mindless activities - but this is EVE - a space simulation that encompasses more things to do than can be accomplished in a day, a week, a month, a year - there are always more goals to achieve and more things to do. STO lasted 2 weeks... why? Because that's how long it takes a player to get and do everything in *that* game. You folks should be grateful to be a part of such an elaborate system - even if you don't understand all the concepts of the game.

Originally by: Boiglio Heyas CCP,
Just a tip--You would make it much easier on both yourselves and your customer base if you changed 2-3 things about the way you handled updating us on patches/server status/etc.
* Instead of just changing the number to a new ETA on the login screen, leave the original there, and post the new ETA as an update, marked as such, and with a timestamp. We want information, not to be placated, and that way we can see exactly how long it's been since we've heard from you. (That record can also be used by you to give better estimates in the first place as well)
* Don't force me to go to facebook/twitter/other 3rd party places to get information I should be able to get from you directly. I like my privacy, and don't want to give up any more than I have to just to get "more complete" server status updates on a service I'm already paying for.
* I don't mind if things take a little longer to get them right. You don't have to tell me things like "We're working as hard as we can to solve this." I'm already assuming that. (BTW, if that is ever NOT the case...feel free to let me know that part, so I know when rage is required, eh?) Instead, treat me with the respect that's conveyed by saying, "Right now, we're estimating that things will be going by 1430. If there is anything that changes before that, it will be posted here, or otherwise at 1430 we will post a new sitrep in this space." This at least respects my own time and yours.
Thanks much for all you do to bring us Eve.

Originally by: St1ck Ohh well DT been extended again :) Question for those demanding compo from CCP for lost game time On a normal weekday majority of the time Tranquility is online well within the reported hour long DT, giving me in effect "Free" game time, now how would you feel at end of year if CCP billed you for all your "Free" game time? Maybe offsetting the bill with the "Stolen" game time from you? Im pretty sure you would still owe CCP? And yes i understand it Poor Customer Service etc..... but i dont see many threads thanking them when servers are up early on routine DT
yes but when they state 1hr DT you plan around that, if it comes up earlier, then what are ppl surposed to do? rush and get back online?? statement FLAWED

To fix a software problem is not that easy...
Agreed for someone not trained or skilled at it, but they employ professionals, er.. allegedly.
Don't agree yourself. It depends on the scale of the project being done. And EVE Online isn't the small scale tool you write within a week or two. There are many dependencies that have to be resolved and there may always be some reason for problems occuring. I think this is a thing any professional in IT will know... ;)
It isn't very good that even the downtime prediction of 14:30 UTC did almost pass, but that's the way it is... CCP will manage the server to be running soon. Perhaps a prediction of 15:30 or 16:00 UTS would be more likely. But I can't look into the future, you cannot, and CCP neighter...

Quote: The overview and brackets have been optimized and will flicker less when in a big fleet.
Oh please. Dont, your making me laugh. Since when can you have brackets on in a 'big fleet' ?
Do people from ccp actually play eve, and by that i dont mean try out features on their lonesome, but participate in large 4-6 hours fleets that involve waiting anywhere up to 5 minutes to jump a gate, even when you jump by race ( which is pretty absurd when you think about it, jump by race not ship type!)
And once you jump and wait the customary 2-5 minutes for the grid to load....and you really think a minor little fix that you put in this patch as an afterthought will apply in any way to 'big fleets', when this problem has been shouted at you from every pl;ayer that has to put up with a broken game for a very very long time?
...rant over, btw, its an hour past the 'extended DT' and the server is still not up....

Let's say you've paid your entrance fee and have been given access to enter a disco, "drinks included". After entering you recognize it's hot like hell and you start to get thirsty.
You ask for a glass of water. You don't get that glass of water. But you get a free umbrella instead.
Some people really do like umbrellas. Some people just think: "WTF?"
My personal belief is a glass of water can be valued more than a free umbrella. And usually one does need more glasses of water during lifetime, than umbrellas.
So these days it became common you usually get a glass of water if you ask, not a free umbrella.
But again: Good work @CCP to come up with some patch release! That's the way to go!

The main issue here is peoples expectations (or addiction ). If CCP state EVE will be offline for X hours then the players will expect to be able to login in X hours and 1 second!
In my option it would be better for CCP to say EVE is going to be offline for longer (working in any factors that might indeed extend the DT) and then hopefully be able to restore EVE before that time is exceed. This should work towards managing peoples expectations better.
Just my 2 ISK's worth...

Just once I'd like to see CCP have a expected downtime and stick to it....Here's a hint if you constantly run 200 to 300% over time, increase your initial down time forcast.
P.S.. CCP, you should probably replace the person responsible for the terrible estamites!!!!
or at least make him fear for his job if hes wrong again

Realign your priorities, maybe you'll find life not so "rushed..."

Let's see, originally 3 hour DT scheduled, then it was increased by 50% to 4.5 hours, now another .5 hour. Nearly double the original estimate. Yippee-kay-yay!!!

Across 3 different MMOs, no. Sqaure enix with ff11 never got it right. The two months I played wow, I saw 2 downtimes for BC and it was constantly delayed, now in eve, CCP has upped the delay again.
Maybe its universal?

Unfortuneately, I bet they build in a cushion for their ETA's for patch application. I work in Operations also, and we don't supply exact, to the minute ETA's, but provide estimates to the hour, becuase of the complexity of the work, and potential issues, unforeseen issues that could arise. So I guess CCP has encountered such an unforeseen issue. In the 3+ years I've been playing Eve this latest patch overshooting the window has been a first for me. So I'm not overly critical, and I'm ok with it. I have other worlding things I can use to amuse myself until Eve is back on line...

Errm - but they do. They see into the future and say its going to be 13:30. And they're wrong. So they have another go and say 14:30. And they're wrong again. So they have another go and say 15:00. Etc ad infinitum. If they didn't try and predict the time it's coming back up, that would actually be better. They should say its unavailable all day and that that months fees would be amended pro rata and have done with it.
The waiting wouldn't be so bad if the Japan - Paraguay game wasn't proving to be a damp squib too. I blame CCP for that too.

Now, been doing this three times in a row, it's really a failure of CCP not to be able to predict the DT.
Please, make the predictions few hours extra from beginning. Then, if you manage to make it few hours early, nobody will complain. Nobody.

I know waiting sucks, these things sometimes take awhile. Those of you who have never administrated a server farm or even a small network with a server have no idea what it takes to keep things up. Especially when applying new code patches to a server cluster. even the smallest thing can cause a whole mess of problems that could have never been forseen. I'm worked on servers before, and have worked with programming before. I have not worked both, so I can only imagine what is going on, in fact I hope to work for a company like them one day. Just be patient. Your going to wait anyway. Your going to take what ever time they give you like it or not. Why not find something productive to do, cause its going to happen anyway.
I thank CCP for such a awesome product and I can not wait to see more. I say take all the time you need to get it done to the best of your ability.

For all those complaining, You got 13 Expansion packs at no additional costs, You have the ability to purchase your game time in-game with in-game currency, and you get 3 trials per month to send out, and get 30 extra days if any of them sign up
CCP is more generous than any other Pay to Play MMO out there, and it's ridiculous to see people complain over an extra Hour and a half wait, especially when it comes back up you'll have a free new ship and skillpoints to allocate as you wish

Edited by: Jarod Hawke on 29/06/2010 14:54:19 I've been working more than 12 years in a professional IT environment and if I would perform like CCP is performing with the continuous postponing of uptime I would have not made it through the 1st year.
It is very clear to me that the programming code and database structure of EVE must be like italian spaghetti because there is no other way at all any IT staff could get away with the amateurism CCP is displaying wit every, every single small, big or bigger patch or update.
I seriously suggeest making a career change guys.. maybe try to find a job in a small 5 man business or something. Maybe that is without your comphrehension. Good thing is this is just a funny game isn't it.. If EVE would be a serious IT application/environment in a serious company, say pharmaceitical industry or health care... The horror of even imagining it.

Uptime has been updated to 15:00 UTC (login screen)
To those with the mind-numbingly simple attitude of "I work at a company where we have deadlines and if we don't meet them, the universe implodes" - Grow up. You're either working for some ****-ant little mom and pop shop *or* you're working for a firm with federal regulations where you have multiply mirrored server clusters where it can't go down or the financial world really does collapse.
EVE is a *game*, ladies and gentlemen. Our ~$15 a month gives us 23 hours a day access to one of the most in-depth, evolving MMOs the industry has ever seen. So if we lose the odd day or two every now and then over the course of a year - Harden the **** up or take your money elsewhere- Believe me, CCP will not miss a whiner, nor will the rest of the community.
Restarts after patches are delayed for a reason. If they put it up, those of you whiny little children would whine even harder when whatever it was that they SHOULD have delayed the uptime causes even more problems.
At the end of it - Could YOU do a better job than CCP ? No, of course you couldn't - Don't lie to us and tell us you could, because if it were true, you'd already be running a better - and more successful - MMO than Eve.
Grow up.
To CCP: You rock. (And can have the stuff of any whiners who rage quit ? )

He is just venting like the rest. He has know idea how a server cluster of that size takes to update. Its is always better to work/train/practice/etc to standard not to time. If things need more time then take it, because its the standard and quality that is important not the time.

I DEMAND that downtime be extended at least six more hours to help cull whiny trolls, also read your EULA, CHUM-
Please ragequit? If your sick of waiting, maybe you should stop waiting?

Our ~$15 a month gives us 23 hours a day access to one of the most in-depth, evolving MMOs the industry has ever seen. So if we lose the odd day or two every now and then over the course of a year - Harden the **** up or take your money elsewhere- Believe me, CCP will not miss a whiner, nor will the rest of the community.
.....
To CCP: You rock. (And can have the stuff of any whiners who rage quit ? )
double plus good agreement with you!

Originally by: DiamondTitan For all those complaining, You got 13 Expansion packs at no additional costs, You have the ability to purchase your game time in-game with in-game currency, and you get 3 trials per month to send out, and get 30 extra days if any of them sign up
CCP is more generous than any other Pay to Play MMO out there, and it's ridiculous to see people complain over an extra Hour and a half wait, especially when it comes back up you'll have a free new ship and skillpoints to allocate as you wish
I have to agree with you there . If you guys have any other games go play them . Moaning and whining about how long its taken is not going to make it happen any faster .

As we all know Eve was down for 27 hours last week. This was no real fault of CCP but of the young Icelandic intern named Helga who accidentaly dropped the server in the pickled herring barrel next to the water cooler. What really caused the delay wasent trying to get the pickled fish out of inner workings of the server, but the fact that everyone was distracted when this young blonde was chashed around the office by the Icelandic IT team carrying pitchforks and torches. They are computer nerds, they rarely get to see a woman (unless they google it). so lets have a little patience, let these guys get a cheap thrill, go about our normal lives and our make believe world of EVE will be back online soon enough.

I see alot of griping with some legit complaints in this thread. Please try to remember with as many people play EVE, CCP will never be able to make everyone happy with gifts and compensation. Everyone's character situation is unique. If you've ever played other MMO's, you'd know that EVE is different, in that the devs at least try to say sorry when downtimes or unexpected crashes happen. The other online games I've played would just tell you oops, oh well, leave if you don't like it and never give any type of compensation. It will never be 100% fair to every player, but at least they try to make it as fair as possible to as many as possible. With as much time as many of the players put into this game, I know how serious people can take it. Please try to remember it is a game and no matter the short comings of any patch or compensation, you're still gonna play for the love of the game that's making you complain in the first place, so you might as well not get upset and enjoy it for what it is, the best game on the net, because if it wasn't the best why are we still playing it?

And how is stating that you expect to have the servers up at 15:30 and then actually having them up at 14:30 also not "lying" by this crazy definition? People... sheesh.

A suggestion to CCP that may quell some players:
For any downtime I would suggest taking the median cost of a PLEX and simply credit characters the equivalent amount of ISK for the downtime.
If a PLEX is (for easy math) 300,000,000 ISK (I know they aren't but lets keep the math simple) for 30 days that, in hours is roughly (23*30= 690 hours)or apx 434782.61 ISK per hour. Every time the downtime exceeds the estimate simply credit the character with the highest skill points on an account that amount. There, everytime you miss your ETA you fairly compensate players directly and porportionally for unintented downtime.
You could, based on the nature of the outage throw in a multiplier. For instance x1.0 for the first hour, x2.0 for the second hour, etc.
From a transactional standpoint is isn't hard so long as you have a function\proc for adding an ISK transaction and can be applied as the last SQL transaction before accepting connections. Idgarad says: "The Path to a good life is paved in misfortune. We tread upon misfortune to see value in what is good."

Originally by: Jimmina I would like to know who does the ETA estimates for CCP.
The downtime is always way, way longer than anticipated. Maybe throwing in a variable like 1.5 in front of the equation would save a lot of customer angst.
That'd still be guessing. Point here is do do some statistics, proper QA, and most of all: Ask your employees.
I've been in situations where corp managers set dates to get some major internal software updates done without even asking in advance whether there'd be enough system admins available. Corp managers are to get remembered they're the one responsible for having good quality assurance people in place. And QA for sure does apply to internal procedures, too!
A company which fails to give proper estimates over and over again is loosing business credibility. When it comes to your credibility, your whole company performance is at stake.

Yeah Im not cool with this extensions of down time. Might aswell tell us... "hey just come back tomorrow. K? Dont bother checking your client's ability to connect every 10-15mins after the supposed end of down time."
I'm really not cool with that. Because like someone here said, we're actually paying money for this. I cant just push a button to "create" isk. I practically have to "work" in game or do productive things that will give me ISK. So... how should i feel about the fact that I'm still losing real money, but I'm not making any ISk in game?
Especially in the early stages of a character's "career" making ISk is more difficult.

You missed the "CCP's obligations to provide access to and use of your Account" part out when you also read it Mylena. CCP are not obliged to provide access to your account during downtimes.. you should know that by now.

You couldn't be more wrong! I have 45 years experience with IT for fortune 500 companies. Never in my entire career were my customers subjectet to the constant missed deadlines and vacumn of information about the 'occassional' problems that should be expected.
CCP really sucks at quality control, estimation of time/complexity of installations, and most importantly, the communication that should apply when problems are encountered.

Originally by: bullzeye101 Just once I'd like to see CCP have a expected downtime and stick to it....Here's a hint if you constantly run 200 to 300% over time, increase your initial down time forcast.
P.S.. CCP, you should probably replace the person responsible for the terrible estamites!!!!
or at least make him fear for his job if hes wrong again
yea thanks person number 300 for saying this... again. CCP does their best in trying to get the server back up. They can't see into the future and see when its going to be back up
ok let me tell you how estamites work in the real world since you obviously have no clue....what you do is look at what you need to do then look at past data of how long similar thing took you then ad aboy 25% for unfoseen complications.. dont get me wrong im cure that the programmers are hard at work and i in now way blame them for keeping it down so long ..but i do blme the ignorant imbasil that keeps giving out forcasts that they cannot historicaly keep......furthormore ppl will keep saying it untill they get the point and they have yet to so it will keep being said
Ok what i should have said was they can't see exactly when the servers go back up, they are just guesses. And im sure they try to be as accurate as possible, CCP just have a lot of "unfoseen complications." as you put it. lets just hope the servers go back up soon and play sum EVE =D

To all those who say " get a life!" or "stop whineing, ccp isnt perfect" blah blah blah
No, but then this patch is (should be) a process. Just that, not a problem but a series of actions that can be quantified and estimated.
What do you think the test server is for? Is it possibly a place where upcoming patches can be deployed and bug fixed? Why is it difficult? Two servers, similar in all respects, one live, one for testing. You make changes to the test server until you get it working, then...and this is quite straightforward(?)...you apply those (tested) changes to the live server.
Really, in principle, it is a pretty good ( and an industry tried and tested) method.
My tip? Pay some money and employ someone who knows how to manage this kind of thing. Of course, if these **** ups dont affect your bottom line, then just carry on being inept. After all, if it doesnt hurt you financially, why fix it?

Oh and thanks but no thanks for your pathetic excuse for compensation of 2 1/2 days of dt i'd estimate.. skillpoints for highest SP char... yah.... wonderul as if i need them on that one. Better give me 2 more days on my account suckers.
lol this guy is funny. other indeusties use completely different IT models. Not only that but they don't get updated half as much. Most still use code and servers that have been there for years. using just text and a database setup that works for them. The server calculations that is takes to track and save where all suers online are in 3D space over serveral nodes would completly blow any health care network up. I think its time you update yourself your far behind, 12 years is decades in the IT world. Your knowledge is out of date.

For the usual daily downtime, yes, but not really worth pushing for. Multiply that by over 30 and you're almost up to a dollar. Now multiply that by several thousand accounts and you'll see that giving us a skill point pool (as of yet still of undisclosed size)that doesn't cost anything saves CCP money they would have to spend if they gave us what we're entitled to.

Personaly i have not seen CCP met a deadline yet for a patch. I am not saying they are doing a bad job as updating code is by no means an easy task and unforeseen issues do arise.
But..
Maybe instead of giving ETA's like they do atm, maybe they should work with 4 hours time slots. So simple typo corrections etc get 1 time slot so ETA is 4 hours of DT. simple patches 2 time slots so 8 hours DT etc etc. That way the ETA may be a tad easier to work out and no one minds the servers being up BEFOR the ETA.
just my 0.01 isk worth.

I seriously suggeest making a career change guys.. maybe try to find a job in a small 5 man business or something. Maybe that is without your comphrehension. Good thing is this is just a funny game isn't it.. If EVE would be a serious IT application/environment in a serious company, say pharmaceitical industry or health care... The horror of even imagining it.
Oh and thanks but no thanks for your pathetic excuse for compensation of 2 1/2 days of dt i'd estimate.. skillpoints for highest SP char... yah.... wonderul as if i need them on that one. Better give me 2 more days on my account suckers.
lol, this is just plain bs.

He is just venting like the rest. He has know idea how a server cluster of that size takes to update. Its is always better to work/train/practice/etc to standard not to time. If things need more time then take it, because its the standard and quality that is important not the time.
IF you don't have the quality and standard in mind to start with, then whats your intention?? lol

Neither does CCP, apparently. Claiming that you can anticipate the prolonged downtime does not make CCP look better, on the contrary, since they CLAIM it takes 2.30hrs and it took much more, it make them look less smart than the average forumite. And tbh, that's kind of a shame for any IT professional.
Yeah, a cluster of that size is kind of a mess to take down and update. Still, SINCE it's a mess to take down and upgrade, I'd expect them to: 1- try it on a smaller cluster (S8s8/multiplicity?); 2- Adjust the time according to the relative size of the clusters; 3- Adjust the above-adjusted time with a 1.5 factor to make sure you've got time for unexpected problems; 4- Put on a downtime notice reporting 1.5 the time above, just in case
Anyway. Since the last time they took so long, I played on the safe side and added 3 days long skills to training queue. If they take more than 3 days, I'm still gonna get ****ed tho ;)

Originally by: Idgarad A suggestion to CCP that may quell some players:
For any downtime I would suggest taking the median cost of a PLEX and simply credit characters the equivalent amount of ISK for the downtime.
If a PLEX is (for easy math) 300,000,000 ISK (I know they aren't but lets keep the math simple) for 30 days that, in hours is roughly (23*30= 690 hours)or apx 434782.61 ISK per hour. Every time the downtime exceeds the estimate simply credit the character with the highest skill points on an account that amount. There, everytime you miss your ETA you fairly compensate players directly and porportionally for unintented downtime.
You could, based on the nature of the outage throw in a multiplier. For instance x1.0 for the first hour, x2.0 for the second hour, etc.
From a transactional standpoint is isn't hard so long as you have a function\proc for adding an ISK transaction and can be applied as the last SQL transaction before accepting connections.
I agree with this appprach...

I saw no merit to your opinion. Except to complain and complain about unexpected problems.
I have a life, but it seems yours is on EvE, have fun with that.
Like everyone else, You have spent the last two hours of your life on these forums waiting for the server to come back up. Your argument is invalid.

meh, I set my skill training up for days (leart that from last time) and now get the entertainment of watching EVE addicts get the shakes as they suffer withdrawl. It is a game, and like anything in the world it is not perfect. Trains run late sometimes, yes its inconvient but a lot of the time there is nothing you can do to change it.
I will sit back, lol at some of the antics here and wait patiently. It is certainly not the end of the world waiting a little while longer for a product this good :)

No, but then this patch is (should be) a process. Just that, not a problem but a series of actions that can be quantified and estimated.
What do you think the test server is for? Is it possibly a place where upcoming patches can be deployed and bug fixed? Why is it difficult? Two servers, similar in all respects, one live, one for testing. You make changes to the test server until you get it working, then...and this is quite straightforward(?)...you apply those (tested) changes to the live server.
Really, in principle, it is a pretty good ( and an industry tried and tested) method.
My tip? Pay some money and employ someone who knows how to manage this kind of thing. Of course, if these **** ups dont affect your bottom line, then just carry on being inept. After all, if it doesnt hurt you financially, why fix it?
Sigh. Another simpleton.
The test server might have a few hundred players on it. Max. Maybe a thousand or two when CCP encourages people to log in to test something specific.
Tranquility, on the other hand, will see 30,000 - 40,000 people on it. They are not the same thing, insofar as testing goes.
This is the same even for something so simple as web development: You put up a site in a sandbox and have a few dozen colleagues bang on it. Push it live and things usually break when you've suddenly got 100,000 people banging on it on an hourly basis.
And you know what ? If you don't like it - Why are you still here ? Why haven't you cancelled your account and moved on to some other, more utopian MMO ?
Grow up.

Try to think beyond the boundaries of "your real world": A lot more programmers than you think of do work on a project a little bigger than you can imagine, did hand the code and database patches to the QA team only a very few days ago after having only one week to fix some serious issues. (Did i mention that those programmers had a hard working month before this patch?)
The project lead tried to do estimates together with the QA team, the programmers, the folks deploying the patch to the database and all those cluster nodes you have not counted into your calculation...
That person that can give exact estimates in this world has to be born imho! Even ancient sons of gods had no clue on such things.

CCP, you can now give me 100mil iskies for saying what you really wanted to say! LOL
You couldn't be more wrong! I have 45 years experience with IT for fortune 500 companies. Never in my entire career were my customers subjectet to the constant missed deadlines and vacumn of information about the 'occassional' problems that should be expected.
CCP really sucks at quality control, estimation of time/complexity of installations, and most importantly, the communication that should apply when problems are encountered.

The best part of all of this is that the second the servers come up, all the whiners are going to rush back in to play. I didn't even know there was downtime today, shows how much I'm paying attention.
I'll go out and do some yard work and if it's not back up when I get back, I'll do something else!

Ok what i should have said was they can't see exactly when the servers go back up, they are just guesses. And im sure they try to be as accurate as possible, CCP just have a lot of "unfoseen complications." as you put it. lets just hope the servers go back up soon and play sum EVE =D
also i think people seem to forget that TQ is unique and cutting edge in the MMo world,compared to single instanced servers. and changes to the code as we have seen before work on SiSi but increase the number of users and it cant keep up,
thats why mass testing helps, there is soo much they can be testing we are unaware about

Then go Emorage Quit the Game! Its something way different since you have to pay for WOW expansions if you mean that "managing". They are doin their best to solve problems, for free at least. Yes we all pay money for eve but other games cost a monthly fee and you need additional buying the game and the expansions. Calm down all, free ship extra SP thats more then kewl... Its an arrangement and a Sry for the problems by CCP, They cant do it right for everyone but at least they try! And also you wont make that much money in your lvl 3 missions in 5 minutes extended downtime... Everyone with Lvl 4 Missions and above should not give a **** about 1 hour in a whole month

Not trying to be funny or flip; however, I can't remember the last time that they brought up a release within the original estimate?

CCP, you can now give me 100mil iskies for saying what you really wanted to say! LOL
You couldn't be more wrong! I have 45 years experience with IT for fortune 500 companies. Never in my entire career were my customers subjectet to the constant missed deadlines and vacumn of information about the 'occassional' problems that should be expected.
CCP really sucks at quality control, estimation of time/complexity of installations, and most importantly, the communication that should apply when problems are encountered.
While i agree with the thrust of your statement, i have to question the 45 years in IT bit. That would mean you have been in IT since 1965. As someone that started an electronics engineering degree in 1978, i can assure you that the term 'IT' wasnt around then.

You don't buy AAA games for less than ú40 sterling or even $50US. Those new games you could buy every month must be terrible or very old.
You go buy Command & Conquer: Tiberium Sun, I'll just go walk the dog for an hour and then play EvE when it comes back up.

You are either a complete amateur or just repeating something you heard but never really understood.
There are systems out there for simulating thousands of users hitting your system all at once. CCP introduced their own system for stressing EVE. Apparently to no effect yet.
Oh and still not accepting connections, expect another delay...
Once again, you show you don't have the faintest clue about that which you pretend to know about.
Using software to emulate several thousand users making connections (be it to the login server or the items DB, or market DB or what not) - Big deal. Seriously: Big hairy deal.
Try emulating a system where you have 30,000 individuals in 3D space, where there is an infinite combination of access to items DB, skills DB, combat stats, materials process, invention, POS fuels, sovereignty issues, WH calculations and (I know I've missed at least a dozen other calculations).
So you work for a Fortune 500 company: Big deal (again) - Whatever servers you're running on couldn't handle Eve. (And, to be completely fair; CCPs' servers aren't set up or designed to handle multinational financial transactions in real time, either).
And *still*, you're here whining. Why haven't you quit, yet ? Seriously, the CPU cycles you use up in game could be used to improve my gaming experience.
Go back to WoW - They miss you.

If they'd just said in the first place, say, the downtime will be until 1800 UTC, I'd have gone off and done something else.. just knocking it forward every hour is just not helping.. what it is, is making fools of everybody.. not smart.. just give us a proper estimation!

It is very clear to me that the programming code and database structure of EVE must be like italian spaghetti because there is no other way at all any IT staff could get away with the amateurism CCP is displaying wit every, every single small, big or bigger patch or update.
I seriously suggeest making a career change guys.. maybe try to find a job in a small 5 man business or something. Maybe that is without your comphrehension. Good thing is this is just a funny game isn't it.. If EVE would be a serious IT application/environment in a serious company, say pharmaceitical industry or health care... The horror of even imagining it.
Oh and thanks but no thanks for your pathetic excuse for compensation of 2 1/2 days of dt i'd estimate.. skillpoints for highest SP char... yah.... wonderul as if i need them on that one. Better give me 2 more days on my account suckers.

In my 6 months experience, it's been down 1 hour a day or less for 99% of the time. In the last week we had 2 extended downtimes, and when it's patched (once every 6 or so months?) it's down for a couple hours or so. Nothing big. You were just a bit unlucky in your first days.

Surely it wouldn't take too much effort to get some bloke (even the janitor at CCP) to punch out a few works for an update more regularly!!!! There's nothing quite like the aerodynamic properties of poo in flight :) |

It is amazing to me that CCP does not seem to learn from their mistakes. So lets do a patch to say we are sorry for longer then listed DT. We will give some SP's to everyone for the complete failure to be able to hit a target over and over. Now we come to patch day and yet AGAIN, a complete failure to hit their target time. It would be better for them to just say "we will have extended downtime on June 29 starting at 11:00 utc and will have the server up as soon as we can (get our heads out of our arses)"

This is the new skill point system CCP developed to drastically reduce server lag:
You get 100,000 skillpoints extra per day (your normal skill training will continue) and the server stays offline or in VIP mode.
As compensation SISI will be available most of the time.

The only acceptable compensation for the lost gametime is a pro rata reduction in the monthly fee for this month.
This would also have the effect of focussing CCP's attention on the issue, as the delays would directly impact their bottom line. I can bet you that if that was implemented, we would magically see a massive improvement in the accuracy of future DT estimates, regardless of what the apologists keep saying about how difficult it is.

Why don't you guy just chill out . Most pay to play mmo's charge for their patches and call the expansion packs . CCP make a patch and call it what it is a patch . They dont charge for it and they give us a free ship and extra sp .
Yes it would be nice if they actually gave us a vague idea of what went wrong . In all honesty is it that bad that you have to wait a few hours to get into the game . Theres more to life .
Go out get drunk and get laid . Just live a little while the server is down . Its just a game.

Relax people, back in 2006 and before patch days use to be patch " DAYS!!! " Aka, more then 1. Your lucky to get the quick patch's and fix's you do now.
Back then we use to play with a super lagged market, database server crashing left and right and the server could go down at any minute due to node death issues. It use to take CCP an entire week to make the server stable again and that was with 2-3h downtime after the patch daily so they could deploy hot fix's to make everything awesome again. Now i know it's not most peoples strong suits to be able to wait, and most of them suffer from some sort of compulsive OCD but come on.
And to those who think they can do better? Why havn't you yet?

When the servers working the game is great.
Unfortunatley, recently the server has seen better days. We had a 31 hour downtime just a week ago but are getting compensated in the way of some more skillpoints.
Yet a week later we have yet another extended --> extended downtime.
So yeah right now CCP > fail

Oh come on, everybody should know by now that they always push back uptime for patches, yes it is highly irritating but it is what happens, always.
You should have all seen "15.00" and assumed "19.00" and gone and done something more constructive with your time! This is not a signature. |

Really bad @ CCP(LOL) - You never learn that customers dont want to wait? Get more personal for this jobs and more GM¦s because to answer the petitions takes extremly more time then this Downtime.
Is there a chance that we could get a real start-up time for the servers? That¦s the easiest way ... We could do better things then wait for a extend after extend of the down-time. Really Really Bad..

You're correct, IT is a new phrase. I started in August, 1964 on an IBM 1620 and IBM 1440 and have seen my industry evolve from DP, EDP, IS, TI, IT, etc. They're all just catch phrases so no big deal.
You couldn't be more wrong! I have 45 years experience with IT for fortune 500 companies. Never in my entire career were my customers subjectet to the constant missed deadlines and vacumn of information about the 'occassional' problems that should be expected.
CCP really sucks at quality control, estimation of time/complexity of installations, and most importantly, the communication that should apply when problems are encountered.

It's down one hour each day. Hence the reason why they say they operate 23/7. But patches, sometimes they take longer than they first estimated. Such is life. ----- All men can see these tactics whereby I conquer, but what none can see is the strategy out of which victory is evolved. |

Wow, downtime on daily basis also is late? If i recall correctly, almost everyday we can log in about 40 to 45 minuten early in the game when downtime commences. Yet, you claim that they have never met their downtime estimates. Wow, great statement.
For those *****ing about getting online. Pls, go and get a decent life. Go to work for all i care. Stop badgering CCP for being busy and having a bad estimate on patch days. Hell, i am gratefull they postpone downtime when they do. It means there is something that needs fixing. You kids react as if you have a right to play this game on those times and seem to have nothing better to do with your life...
Seriously, go out side and get laid.

Actually, I did read that... and yes, CCP does admit that the system may go down for any number of reasons. While this is understood, CCP has LIMITED liability, not exempt from all liability. Because they get paid for a service, this liability consists of a refund of paid time equal to that of the failure to meet their obligations of service to your accounts and game content up to a limit of 3 months.
And yes, I am an attorney.
(Aside from the fact that lawyers should all be thrown in a pit with rabid wolverines...)- OK, so you lose a day for unscheduled downtime: that's ~3.33% of a month's access. However: A competant court will take a look at a sampling of MMOs in the industry to see what the average unexpected downtimes might be.
Also, if you keep renewing your account, you keep agreeing to the current circumstances. This was already tested out in court in Canada by someone who sued an ISP for repeated downtimes; The court ruled that by continually renewing his account on a monthly basis, the customer agreed to the current conditions. Max liability; 1 month of service (and I don't think the plaintiff even received that)

from EVE Online

because the original name suggest that CCP can held this game up and running and they know what they are doing but considering the usual server-reboots, downtimes and especially delays BY EVERY PATCH/ADD-ON ... this suggestion is slightly wrong

A continual problem with CCP is the lack of quality control, change management, and development life cycle management in testing prior to patch launch. In Systems development life cycle with a customer base this large it would make sense to "thoroughly" test this patch in an alternate system prior to go live with Beta testers from the community. With the continual extensions in any patch we see that the change process CCP management is currently using are lacking.
Not a gamer issue but a management issue.

"Changes have been made to the process for character transfers. Previously the seller would need to log in after 10 hours to confirm the transfer. This is no longer necessary. The full process can be seen in the EVElopedia and Knowledge base"
Love this addition to the patch notes. Clearly CCP know that people are walking away!! Personally the length of down time is not my issue. The bad customer service is my issue. One key aspect of any type of customer service is setting realistic expectations and sticking to them. The says two and half hours and we six or seven. Again and again. A few SPs can not make up for all the game time I have paid for and lost in the last week if my expectations have been continually broken.

i missed 1 day of good mining and some good loot and salvage the last time. its ok we get atleast something like skillpoints to soften the pain but in the past 6 weeks we have had 3 of such extended downtimes.
it is freaking annoying to know the mods place a time and know well they never can guarantee this time.

Originally by: The Falconette The only acceptable compensation for the lost gametime is a pro rata reduction in the monthly fee for this month.
This would also have the effect of focussing CCP's attention on the issue, as the delays would directly impact their bottom line. I can bet you that if that was implemented, we would magically see a massive improvement in the accuracy of future DT estimates, regardless of what the apologists keep saying about how difficult it is.
IT HAS BEEN DECIDED!!! CCP WILL NOW REDUCE SUBSCRIPTION COSTS 1 USD PER MONTH! AS YOU PROPOSE, HOWEVER DUE TO INFLATION THE SUBSCRIPTION WILL NOW HAVE TO BE INCREASE 1 USD PER MONTH. I USE CAPS TO MAKE YOU ANGRY. also your argument makes you sound small and tinny.

I find it wearying to hear folks complain about the complainers so i am here to complain about the people who complain about complainers. You should shut up. People who complain are golden. They prove through their very words that they care about the product they are complaining about. Yes some people whine no matter what but not everyone does this and it is wrong to lump all complainers together. It shows you don't care to consider every person as an individual. The time to truly start worrying is when people stop complaining because that means they all just left and the product is fail.

This is just a game and nothing really important is going to happen if the severs burp and it takes a few more hours to sort out.
BUT we are all paying money for a service.
I understand the need for extended downtimes. If CCP sets an expectation that the severs will be down for 3 hours and it takes 3 1/2 hours, people will generally understand. If CCP sets an expectation that server will be down for 3 hours and it take 5 (or more?) then people get ****ed.
A quick tutorial from server ops 101: If you think a deployment will take 3 hours, then set the expectation that the servers will be down for 6. Then if it takes 5 hours, everyone feels good.
Why do CCP repeatedly make this mistake of vastly underestimating the complexity of their deployments?

Edited by: anti disestablishment on 29/06/2010 15:34:33 I wish they'd stop silently incrementing the patch completion time by an hour every hour.
Just set a time and stick to it. I understand these things take time but in my 7 years of playing Eve you have never, ever been on time regards a promised uptime when you're deploying a patch. Today you said it'd be completed by 14:30 eve time, then 15:00, then 15:30 then 16:00.
Originally by: El Flacito Why do CCP repeatedly make this mistake of vastly underestimating the complexity of their deployments?
I agree. I think they set these underestimated (in fact ambitious based on past performance) times so people don't see it as a big thing. 'Ok, so it's down for a few hours, no problem'. I said I'd go out for a few hours and come back and do a few missions, it is my day off after all and I wanted to play some eve. Now I keep checking back and the time changes.
They should at least keep us updated as to why the time has changed rather than just change the displayed time and leave the rest of the message untouched.

The skill requirement for the new ship is a new Spaceship Command skill - Planetary Industrial, funnily enough it requires 100k SP
You don't need any skills to fly the Primae They only recomend you get the Planetary Industrial skill to make the most of the ship.

Ok what i should have said was they can't see exactly when the servers go back up, they are just guesses. And im sure they try to be as accurate as possible, CCP just have a lot of "unfoseen complications." as you put it. lets just hope the servers go back up soon and play sum EVE =D
also i think people seem to forget that TQ is unique and cutting edge in the MMo world,compared to single instanced servers. and changes to the code as we have seen before work on SiSi but increase the number of users and it cant keep up,
thats why mass testing helps, there is soo much they can be testing we are unaware about
but you still have not got at my main point, which was that they have done this kind of thing more then once...right? and it has taken longer....lets just call it every time....now dont you think that it should be taken into consideration when they make a forcast?!?!

Yeah we get an SP pool (not 100% sure its 100k sp tho) and a new ship.
Thing is isnt the new ship only available if you login befor tomorows DT? and will the server actualy be up by then?
maybe ccp didnt add the ship so they are keeping the server down so no one can try claiming it?
at least it gives me time to work on my own code.

I love it when people assume that - since one decided to play at a specific time - they are playing the time at every single moment of the day. It's not my case, but have you considered that people MIGHT already have a life and spare just one hour or two to play eve, and this "fix" is the only moment they dedicate to the game in the day?
Come on. CCP made a blunder (in underestimating the downtime TWICE in a week lol), so they will get some flak from their customers. That's not only to be expected, but it's a sane practice that keeps producers in line - the game industry already has reached an all time low in the computer industry quality assurance, so at least let them get some flak when they blunder. The fact that CCP mostly gets flak for this small things only is quite a statement of their skills.

Bin playing MMOs for well I lost track,safe to say a decade or more? they just get fancier and fancier, I have to say in general CCP does a great job maintaining it's equipment, I haven't had that much problem with Eve at all, just like all the other MMOs out there are maintainance days and patch days, and downtime.... isn't WoW down for 24 hours for it's patch? I agree, giving us an estimated time frame and then pushing it back hour per hour is frustrating, but I know there is a chance for complications, so I take it in stride, and wait. In a game like eve... how the hell can you NOT be patient? there are very few MMO companies out theres that actually run a successful MMO.... everything else they get through the 30day free sign up month. and thats it. After the first 30 days most MMOs these days just die off. this games been running several years. CCP must know whats it's doing. so stop crying about waiting for it to come back you damned addicts go play pong or something and sooth the trembles....

This is what happens when u stick 100,000 people in the same room. But seriously guys, chill. Its simple, find something else to do instead of complain about this. I went on this forum to get a good laugh out of all the anger floating around here. why? because ppl are just sitting staring at the eve home screen, thinking of something else to say to CCP. I'd like to know how many of you can reconfigure a server as big and new as TQ. I'd like a no-strings-attached opinion of what an employee of CCP's thinks about this topic. Noone quoting them or making rude comments, just some employee saying thier opinion in thier own words. Anyone else with me?

Your kindergarten math is flawed. I get to play 2-3 hours a day, 3-4 days a week. I could probably squeeze in another several hours a month if down-time wasn't smack bang in the middle of every single evening, though. If you don't like people complaining that a mere couple of hours extended downtime is effectively an entire day's worth of play time for some, maybe you should go outside and eat a bag of fireworks. 秋田市 EZY English 英会話スクール http://www.ezy-english.com/ |

45 years!!! Your realize that even if you got the job at say 16 that still makes you over 60 years old. Do a lot of 60 year olds play eve? I am just wondering. And again the IT companies that were started 45 years ago are no where close to as complex. Even the greatest IT admin cannot forsee everything.
I can understand your rush if your 60. Whats the oldest age in eve I wonder? I'm 31 so this guy was running an IT company before the apple II or even the apple came out. wow I need to wiki when the first computers and servers came out... I have a feeling this guy just wanted to feel important.

To be honest I really dont understand the big deal about the extension of downtimes. By some players I have the impression their live depends on the game. Watch the telly or go shopping,play soccer or what ever. There will never be a guarantee that downtimes work as expected. In case CCP would set the downtime for a whole day or almost two days (to ensure the downtime will be complete in this time), everybody would complain about such a long downtime, in case CCP set the downtime with respect to an optimum outcome, meaning the shortest possible time, everbody would complain if something doesnt work out as planned within this short period of time.
Although I wouldnt recommand to watch the soccer world cup right now ... Japan vs. Paraguai most borring match so far I reckon...

Originally by: Sentinal One Relax people, back in 2006 and before patch days use to be patch " DAYS!!! " Aka, more then 1. Your lucky to get the quick patch's and fix's you do now.
Back then we use to play with a super lagged market, database server crashing left and right and the server could go down at any minute due to node death issues. It use to take CCP an entire week to make the server stable again and that was with 2-3h downtime after the patch daily so they could deploy hot fix's to make everything awesome again. Now i know it's not most peoples strong suits to be able to wait, and most of them suffer from some sort of compulsive OCD but come on.
Ahh this take me back :) Infact the only thing that has annoyed me so far about the down time, is them not updating the client info screen to present me with a fresh ETA for it being On-line.
As to Eve (CCP) providing 23/7 uptime, screw that, I don't want to pay any more for my subscriptions nor wait 6 months for minor patches to be moved from testing to live. I think its just that because up untill the recent down times they have done such a good job, everybody is on there case with two minor boobs.
Even more impressive is your gona get your SP's back for the last one, somthing I never expected CCP to do.
And for the complaining IT bods, Eve is not a critical service. CCP's Q&A for this product is very high, compair this to a non-MMO where after you buy it you have to wait a few weeks for a patch to make it work. Infact the number of roll backs done 2009-2010 is in my oppinion very very low. Considering how complex the game Eve is I think that speaks volumes for the current Q&A proccess. Finaly also remember Eve is a Prototype, there are no others like it. Other things have similar parts ie back end databases, forums and such, however complete systems are more than the sum of there parts. Additionaly, if this was a corporate suit, each area would be broken down into smaller parts because it so difficult to manage so many diffrent aspects in one design, which whilst improving uptime and time to patch, it would not really be much good as a game anymore.

I'm not usually one for forums, but I am entertained with this thread (and the one from last week). So many people who have nothing better to do than whine... truly amazing!
Anyway, I keep hearing something of free skillpoints... Can anyone possibly point me in the direction of more info on this please?

i agree CCP has always worked hard to keep eve running well i have to hand it to them some times you pepole who complain that CCP made a booboo with not getting downtime correct TQ is probley one of the most powerfull "super computers" on the planet give the good people some slack and let them make Eve better in my own personal opinion is that CCP should take their good time if it takes 48 hours or so to sort a problem out then so be it
thubs up to the hard working pepole of CCP

I love it when people assume that - since one decided to play at a specific time - they are playing the time at every single moment of the day. It's not my case, but have you considered that people MIGHT already have a life and spare just one hour or two to play eve, and this "fix" is the only moment they dedicate to the game in the day?
Come on. CCP made a blunder (in underestimating the downtime TWICE in a week lol), so they will get some flak from their customers. That's not only to be expected, but it's a sane practice that keeps producers in line - the game industry already has reached an all time low in the computer industry quality assurance, so at least let them get some flak when they blunder. The fact that CCP mostly gets flak for this small things only is quite a statement of their skills.
FINALLY a nice, civil opinion that actually makes economic sense. I am actually against ppl giving CCP flak, and with Dirt Pardel, but this made sense and made me think, congrats to someone else who actually decides to act like an adult.

I have been reading this forum since page 3 was new. The topic was lets all wine about the extended DT? I missed that one. I do agree that the continued extensions are annoying I would rather read about what was new and what is cool about what someone has discovered. Been playing the game for 2 years (yea I know some ppl have been playing since the beginning)and I still love eve. Just how many games have what eve has? I would like to see a update to whats going on with the servers. Oh yea, I have played many different games that lasted 50 - 250 hrs of play time, eve smashes that with a very big hammer and keeps going. On that note: CCP dont you guys go crashing eve beyond what you can repair. If I can set at a computer and work on it for 16+ hrs to get it running right you guys can spend a few extra hrs getting eve right, so no complaints (well not too many complaints)

I have only been here a few weeks but I must say I think I was misled. I was told this was a mature server in that it has been running for many many years and yet the impression I get is that there are retention, implimentation and deployment issues that rival the newest of games. It's very disappointing.

Originally by: El Flacito This is just a game and nothing really important is going to happen if the severs burp and it takes a few more hours to sort out.
BUT we are all paying money for a service.
I understand the need for extended downtimes. If CCP sets an expectation that the severs will be down for 3 hours and it takes 3 1/2 hours, people will generally understand. If CCP sets an expectation that server will be down for 3 hours and it take 5 (or more?) then people get ****ed.
A quick tutorial from server ops 101: If you think a deployment will take 3 hours, then set the expectation that the servers will be down for 6. Then if it takes 5 hours, everyone feels good.
Why do CCP repeatedly make this mistake of vastly underestimating the complexity of their deployments?
They didn't. They thought the deployment was going to take 1,5 hours, so they told us 3. :D

Geez you really would have thought after the last debacle with the Migration's constant time changing and multitudes of subscribers complaining and suggesting over and over again, to NOT state a specific time, but rather give an estimate on how long it might take in hours, that this so called 'professional company' would have learnt their lesson and listened. Clearly not.
I even had a wager and a laugh with my housemates just to prove the point: "$20 says that the time will change from 13:30 to something much later." And I was right as I predicted. Well thanks CCP, due to your ignorance yet again, I just won $40, enough to buy more plexes. How ironic.

I'm not saying CCP is perfect, but as far as game developers go, I can't think of a single other that puts as much effort and love into it's work on such a grand scale.
Seriously, I don't want you stuffs even, let it drift into the ether. Just quit already. By far the greatest thing this game has achieved is that one must adapt, learn, & harden up, or you actually fail and suffer loss. The game is what it is, CCP are who they are. 1 day of eve costs .50 cents,.. let me repeat that,.. FIFTY cents. Every hour your not playing EvE cost you .02 cents. The SP your not gaining is not falling behind the SP that noone else is gaining.
For those of you who think an hour of your fictional existence is worth so much, go write, finance, publish, & maintain your own game.
Really. ~

CCP, you can now give me 100mil iskies for saying what you really wanted to say! LOL
You couldn't be more wrong! I have 45 years experience with IT for fortune 500 companies. Never in my entire career were my customers subjectet to the constant missed deadlines and vacumn of information about the 'occassional' problems that should be expected.
CCP really sucks at quality control, estimation of time/complexity of installations, and most importantly, the communication that should apply when problems are encountered.
45 years!!! Your realize that even if you got the job at say 16 that still makes you over 60 years old. Do a lot of 60 year olds play eve? I am just wondering. And again the IT companies that were started 45 years ago are no where close to as complex. Even the greatest IT admin cannot forsee everything.
I can understand your rush if your 60. Whats the oldest age in eve I wonder? I'm 31 so this guy was running an IT company before the apple II or even the apple came out. wow I need to wiki when the first computers and servers came out... I have a feeling this guy just wanted to feel important.
lol, young whippersnapper, I happen to be 66. And yes, I'm concerned about play time as I realize that I don't have much time left on my life clock.

Ok for all of you trolling people for being aggrovated that they cant access a service they pay for when they were told they would. Your dumb yes game development and maintence is difficult but the real issue isent game development or maintence. The issue is simply that we as loyal paying customers deserve at the very least an accurate estimation of when we can play a game we pay for. Secondly games up and honestly heres my assesment of the Primea WOW CCP Thank you for a completely and utterly useless ship. No mid slot no high slots 4 lows and expanders dont apply to the planatary comoditys hold that is 1k m3 which means anyone doing the advnaced pi stuff or almost any stuff would have to do 10+ trips to move anything off their planet. Cant cloak cant tank. Cool design but usability is nill. Sorry but these are the facts nice hull useless ship. free useless ship but still useless. Don't flame no one likes fire. |

On topic: skill points - good - 2d 21h training done in one click.
New ship - nice design :3 but even hoarder w/ stabs have more potential for PI.. Let's see - command center hold capacity 1600m3? PI hold capacity 1000m3? Hoarder - 5600-6300 depending on skills only. Signature radius 150? Ok. But what's with that slow warp speed? Hoarder has 4.5 Also, kinda amusing - new ship - 800m long axis - hoarder - 432m.
'Realizing that the ship could, with a few minor modifications, be made into an efficient resource harvesting aid, ORE wasted no time in revamping the design.' Really?

A man is only as good as his word..
but then again.. EVE has it's fair share of spies, thieves and liars and some of them seem to forget when they are outside the game and they can no longer grasp concepts like respect for customers and delivering a service at a SELF-IMPOSED deadline so they kiss CCP's a** instead and bark at those who still understand the importance of being on time and what being a true professional really means.

I got some seriour problems with the autpilots routefinding. It send me thru lowsec but I set it to "prefer safe sys" and I dont got any systems in my avoid list.
Bug or just me?

Stop giving us free ships. You waste these awesome models on worthless collector items most will only spin around in the hanger bay before seeing how much they can reprocess it for. Give us these new ships in market with stats that can fill a interesting niche roll better then a t1 hauler.

It seems that this patch has brought a very serious autopilot route finding problem, since every longer route (10+ jumps) is going through lowsec systems. I've already petitioned about this, but it's should go into bug reports. One of my corpmates was already podded because he did not notice this issue. Few other players reported being podded or attacked too since they did not notice they are going through lowsec systems. Someone at CCP should be alerted at this.
After some testing, I've concluded that the AP option "Prefer safer" is ignored. Actually, AP behaves like "Prefer shorter" is always selected. The only workaround to this problem is to add all lowsec systems on your route to the "Avoidance list".
I hope we will not have another "extended" DT because of this "feature" that CCP brought on us

Your corpmate sounds like an idiot - there should be a CONCORD warning pop-up, notifying you you're about to enter low-sec(if you haven't disabled it) not to mention there's a pretty set of dots on the left hand side of your screen to let you know where you're heading... orange and red being bad, by the way! And finally, the next jump in the route is also visible, along with the sec. If your corpie didn't even bother to check the route properly before undocking and hitting the big shiny "A" button, he deserved to be podded - if nothing else it'll teach him a lesson.
I would offer some sort of sympathy, but I can't when people are given many methods of checking a route before embarking on their journey and still somehow manage to smeg up.

Well, everything you said is true, but if you are used to something and you expect the system to behave the same way every tome you use a feature and then something bad happens to that system, it's normal that people make mistakes. I did not ask for sympathy, I just wanted to point out that there is such problem and that CCP should look into it. I also wanted to warn other players not to make the same mistake.

The "Primae" kinda blows on my end. Since the way I have my PI setup. 4 planets extracting. Then moving them to a 5th planet for processing. The main cargo hold on it is not nearly big enough for this. It can only carry things from P1 ( processed items P1 through 4 ) and up by the looks of it. Nothing from P0 ( extraction ) will go into the larger cargo holds.
So I am just better off using my Mammoth ( 28,000 m3 ). I was more then willing to use this new ship too. But since it cant haul P0 at all. Theres no point. I may not be the best I may not be the worst But I will do my best |

You can easily sacrifice a couple extractors to get a processor - it will save you time.
That said - I really hope they make PI worth it soon.... I'm starting to lose patience, spending all of my training time training advanced PI skills, money for colonies, and the time it takes to get extractors and everything..... I haven't sold anything yet, so I'm still waiting for them to create a valid market. If the profit on 6 planets is less than a L4 mission, then I will have wasted 3 months on useless PI....

My 4 planets I am extracting are working just fine. The taxes are not bad. I feel running pure extracting on my planets. then moving them to a 5th planet to be processed is easy, and maybe a little more efficient. Since your out put is more then it would be. If you put processors on along with the extractors. I may not be the best I may not be the worst But I will do my best |

Try running "repair.exe" located in EVE main folder. After that, try to clear the game cache. If nothing helps, you can either reinstall the whole client or file a petition and/or bug report.

CCP has a bad habit, and that habit is partial development. Their continued pattern over the past several years has been to announce features for a future patch, develop half of them, put the remaining half on 'development backburner' - the dreaded backlog - and then forget about them as soon as a shiny toy distracts them. These features put on the backburner are not random odds and ends, but crucial functions without which the features that did get implemented cannot perform effectively. The dev cycle does not behave like a well-prioritized system designed to triage the more critical functions of the game, but rather the erratic high velocity trajectory of a kitten jacked up on methamphetamine.

Mission desyncs, where a NPC ship is not at the position it appears to be where quite common a few years ago and with todays patch the desyncs seem to have returned.
Sometimes a target cannot be webbed, or when a NPC pops the wreck appears a few kilometer away from the position where it should be.

It always stops at patchw32.dll and nothing happens. I need to kill the process.

Edited by: Alto Hopix on 30/06/2010 11:09:23 PI seems to cost a lot at first, but then the bonus is you passively earn it back in the long run. I think at the moment it's more of a secondary sub-income along side a more reliant primary source.

Edited by: Frank Fearless on 30/06/2010 14:48:01 Regarding the Primae, I just cannot belief CCP would invest resources in such a uttlery useless ship. With 9 hours of skilltime my new alt char is able to fly a industrial at level 2 that can hold 12600 m3.
Having three different cargo bays without meaningful special bonus is a joke. 1000m3 for PI goods does not get me anywhere. If the PI cargobay would be like 10k with the option to use expanded cargoholds that blows it up further, then I might reconsider, but right now I just put it in the same hangar as Apotheosis and Zephyr and forget it. Sure the ship looks cool and I really REALLY like the design, but right now this is a giant heap of scrapmetal not worth the effort of utilizing or recycle it.
The old saying is true that you cannot expect anything decent if you get it for free. It is just a shame as I would have been willing to actually PAY for it if it would have been any good. What a giant disappointment.... |

Lmao .... click on buttons on a planet. ******ed and should not be the main focus of an expansion. You redesign one ship... then design a new useless ship and throw it at us in a patch/update and just shinney other ships.
The Procurer is the smallest Mining Barge, and the easiest to attain the skills to fly. The major drawback to the Procurer is its limited mining capacity of only 1 Strip Miner or Ice Harvester module. A single Strip Miner can only mine 560m3 every 3 minutes, less than what most other ships can mine with Miner IIs. The positive side is it can mine ice which is very valuable. Few people use Procurers, as an additional 4 days of training will get you the Retriever barge, which is much better for mining.
Wtf is this still not adressed.
