Corvac Sniggerdly Pandemic Legion	Posted - 2010.07.16 18:56:00 - [1] "We have one team (at this point) assigned to EVE Gate development and iteration, and that wonæt change for the foreseeable future. Note that this team is a dedicated Web development team. I had planned on using them to fix fleet lag but was talked out of it." Quote from the latest devblog. I must say, that this is one of the saddest things I have read in a devblog in ages. Instead of doing a serious attempt at fixing lag, you spend lots of resources to develop a gimmicky spacebook thingy that has zero use whatsoever for any organization big enough to have their own forums.
Manishtu	Posted - 2010.07.16 19:00:00 - [2] Think you might find that was a ... joke
SammyullJackson	Posted - 2010.07.16 19:01:00 - [3] OP reveals astounding new truth: Web designers are apparently able to surpass any other occupational discipline in coding for a complex MMORPG.
Mia McGee	Posted - 2010.07.16 19:03:00 - [4] Joke or no joke - it still shows that CCP rather use resources on developing new stuff, that is more or less worthless, like PI and EVE GATE, than fixing serious issues that has been haunting the game for ages.
Sig Sour	Posted - 2010.07.16 19:04:00 - [5] Edited by: Sig Sour on 16/07/2010 19:04:49 I would not want to work on the lag issue either. If the team is talking him into web development over working on optimizing the lag, the situation must be real bad, because web development is like the toilet scrubbing of computers.

CCP Fallout	Posted - 2010.07.16 19:22:00 - [11] That was, as other posters have pointed out, a joke. Web developers generally do not possess the proper skill set to be able to determine, debug, and fix server-side code for MMOs. They do, however, have the proper skill sets to work on Web sites and Web-based features. Fallout Associate Community Manager CCP Hf, EVE Online Contact us

Considering the state of quite a few web sites out there, and the confusion caused when we moved out of the "screw standards, we have IE" quagmireà àI wouldn't even go that far, in most cases. Originally by: Tradesman Mcgee You should fire those web developers and hire someone with the skills needed to do work with the parts of the game that needs work, not gimmicks of dubious value. I don't knowà getting a proper UI foundation to the data set that will eventually tie all of New Eden together doesn't quite seem like a "gimmick of dubious value", especially considering the complaints we tend to see about the rest of the UI. ùùù ôIf you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡à you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.ö ù Karath Piki

I hear that throwing more people at the problem is simple and will always result in getting the problem fixed faster. I'm pretty sure that if CCP only hired twice as many developers, expansions would roll out in half the time, c/d?

WhiteSavage Gallente Ever Flow Atlas Alliance	Posted - 2010.07.16 20:19:00 - [19] I'm sorry CCP your game is full of idiots. I thought joke was hilarious... and the OP reaction... so ironic. OP demands you task all your writers, artists, and web developers on debugging. GO CCP go!!!
Marlenus Ironfleet Towing And Salvage	Posted - 2010.07.16 20:21:00 - [20] That was a pretty darn funny joke. There was plenty else to be outraged about in that dev blog, but the joke, she was funny. ------------------ Ironfleet.com

Seith Silverstein Something Rotten	Posted - 2010.07.16 20:23:00 - [21] It was a joke. I got it immediately upon reading it. I even got reprimanded for laughing out loud at my desk at work. It's unfortunate to see how many idiots play this game. That said, however: Did anyone else sense an inherent "MUST BACKPEDDLE! FASTER, DAMN YOU, FASTER!" feel to whole post? It's not a strong feeling, just a little fleck of "Oh god, what have we done". Originally by: CCP Soundwave I am literally the internet

Mr M Legion of Illuminated Social Rejects	Posted - 2010.07.16 22:33:00 - [28] Can't be arsed to find the quote but the plan is that you should be able to do almost everything you can do ingame from the EveGate site.

Sig Sour	Posted - 2010.07.16 22:36:00 - [29] Today is a bad day to be on that Web Dev team. Butt of a joke by your boss. Told your work is not wanted by the players.

Bluefix Gnu Terror Corps	Posted - 2010.07.16 22:42:00 - [33] It makes me sad that some people will troll because of an obvious joke. It's that kind of behaviour that results in the lack of communication so common in other game developer companies.

Dasola Minmatar	Posted - 2010.07.17 06:30:00 - [39] So since theres dedicated team we can finally start expecting all those things that dosent require targeting and shooting like for example: - Skill que management on browser? - Market order management on browser? - Corporation/alliance chatting on browser? - Infiltrate and dispand hostile alliances? What i dont need is new facebook clone, give me something usefull instead. Something facebook cant do.

Omal Oma Shadowed Command Fatal Ascension	Posted - 2010.07.17 07:44:00 - [41] Edited by: Omal Oma on 17/07/2010 07:45:52 Players: "Website sucks, is outdated and needs development!!! We want ways to check our EVE-Mail from work, ipods and connect to EVE with brain power..." CCP: "OK, well hire some web developers and see what we can do instead of having our team that usually works on lag developing it." Players: "I want more immersion in EVE, what if we could walk around in stations? I mean, this is a MMO and right now I lose my internet space exprience because I speak to spaceships" CCP year 1: "OK, well hire some web developers and see what we can do instead of having our team that usually works on lag developing it." CCP year 2: "This is quite a larger project than expect, we need to hire more and pull from other resources to get this off the ground." CCP year 3: "We started working on this thing, and it turned into a massive project. We want it to be really cool so we've hired a lot of people, invested a lot of resources and are now hiring more." Players: "We've got so many bugs in the game and need things fixed like rockets and the damned catalyst model bugging out, moving windows..." CCP: "Well, we've done a lot of hiring and shifting of resources around and right now we don't have the resources to shift back. We'll hire more people and see what we can do." Players: "OMGWTFBBQ I DUN WANNA PLAY A FPSMMO CONSOLE GAME! WHY ARE YOU TAKING FROM MY BELOVED EVE!?!?!? WTF FIX LAG!!!" Omal Oma: Of the entire development team of EVE-Online, there's 7 people working on this. That's about 6% of their resources invested and they're hiring for more to work on bugs, lag, game enhancements and other projects. Thinking for a second that throwing more cooks into the CCP kitchen will fix this is just not an intelligent way to develop any piece of software. More people = more code = more room for bugs = less checks and balances. The problems that this game has do need to be fixed and past projects do need work, that's also why he said, and I'll repeat this line a few times... for the people who missed it: Quote: And thatæs that. We have an aggressive hiring plan, as evident by our job listings. When those positions are filled we will be able to fully staff two additional EVE feature teams. Finding the right people with the right skills so that they can further enhance something which we have been working on for a decade already isnæt easy, but we have increased the priority on global recruiting. If you or someone you know is interested in working for CCP, now is the time to submit those CVs. Quote: And thatæs that. We have an aggressive hiring plan, as evident by our job listings.

Nope - I got more of a sense of "the community has gotten itself worked up into a frenzy and it might be time to answer the constant, hysterical yelps of, 'why aren't you doing it now, now, now?'" from it. Either way, the transparency is welcome. We might not agree with everything they're doing but it was great to get a glimpse into the workings of CCP. . [Brotherhood Of Fallen Angels]

Kinda like inventing a laptop, only to have to hand it to a monkey and then watch them bash it over a coconut. C. /thread!!! However, you might want to consider a few things, first of all; I now have one of those annoying sigs. second; you should probably move on to some more interesting things than reading this sig.

Niccolado Starwalker Gallente Shadow Templars	Posted - 2010.07.17 14:15:00 - [65] Grow up people! It was a joke, and I found it quite funny considering so many people on these forums feels that even the kitchen personell should be put into programming and debugging mode! They are, after all, CCP personell! I am also a weeny little "le tired" seeing people complaining about I could do better programming, but wont even participate in fleet activity on SIsi. Yes, I know you wont get paid for helping out CCP. I know its not your job. etc. etc. But if you all feel so strongly for all of this, why dont you give a helping hand anyway and have some fun on SiSi at the same time? One or two times wont hurt you, and maybe CCP can solve the fleet problems from it.. Originally by: Dianabolic Your tears are absolutely divine, like a fine fine wine, rolling down your cheeks until they flow down the river of LOL.

They do, however, have the proper skill sets to work on Web sites and Web-based features. Which is obvious. What remains an open question, however, is whether CCP's game programmers possess the proper skill set to be able to "determine, debug, and fix server-side code for MMOs." If they are up to the task -- something most of us are skeptical about -- now would be the time to, you know, prove it. Once lag has successfully been reduced back to pre-Dominion levels, get back to us on that with a new dev blog. Originally by: CCP Fallout That was, as other posters have pointed out, a joke. k. If the MMO thing doesn't work out the comedy industry still might be an option.

Well, the easy way to do it would be to shoot everyone who joined the game since Dominion, plus executing a few whining ingrates like you. Should clear that lag right up. - - Verin "Stitcher" Hakatain.
Xiang Jiao	Posted - 2010.07.17 23:37:00 - [68] I got the joke. Sadly, however, I could not even manage a wry smirk, let alone a laugh or a chuckle. "**** it, Dude, let's go bowling!"

Athena Silk State Protectorate	Posted - 2010.07.18 00:07:00 - [70] Originally by: Mia McGee Joke or no joke - it still shows that CCP rather use resources on developing new stuff, that is more or less worthless, like PI and EVE GATE, than fixing serious issues that has been haunting the game for ages. Did you read the CSM notes? Here's a TL;DR Originally by: CCP We know about [insert problem here], but we're not going to do anything about it for the next 18 months while we work on DUST and Incarna

Splastastic	Posted - 2010.07.18 02:18:00 - [71] Originally by: Corvac Quote from the latest devblog. I must say, that this is one of the saddest things I have read in a devblog in ages. Instead of doing a serious attempt at fixing lag, you spend lots of resources to develop a gimmicky spacebook thingy that has zero use whatsoever for any organization big enough to have their own forums. This is one of the saddest responses to a pretty good joke. TL;DR: Waaa web developers aren't developing my game.

They do, however, have the proper skill sets to work on Web sites and Web-based features. I get it. Wasn't actually funny. Wasn't really the time for a joke. Eve is basically a web-app like many others that web developers work on around the world. 3D trig for engines, sure not a thing most web people know, playing with client-server code in Eve isn't really a different skill set. So the joke doesn't even really make sense to start with.
