Originally by: CCP Navigator CCP Soundwave and CCP Explorer have spoken in length in the Dev Blog "Iterative development and what's happening in 2011" that fixes are still a part of any expansion or patch for EVE Online. They have also gone on to explain that features currently released will be improved and fixed. Soundwave has stated on several occasions that Planetary interaction, for example, is one of the features which is being developed and improved.
There are quite a few fixes already for the next patch and many more scheduled for the winter expansion. I do apologize that I cannot go into more detail on what these are but I can assure you that, as with every patch and expansion, that you will see many fixes and changes along with new features.
Dear CCP,
After re-reading the DevBlog, I would like to point out the following:
First off, Incarna (9 teams, approximately 70 developers) + Dust 514/EVE link (1 team, approximately 7 developers) + EVE Gate (1 team, approximately 10 developers)
You, CCP have 87 people working on the new features that according to your own data, sell so well. Meanwhile you have 37 people working on issues that may (or may not) be some of the unpolished and poorly-implemented features and mechanics that have slowly sucked the life out of this game.
If Incarna is really MORE than just Dust+WiS you should publicize this fact. As it stands, the common belief is that Incarna is ONLY WiS. If you have some massive revamp of the database and code planned, let us know. Because, once again, from a players PoV, it really doesn't look like this.
In addition, I have re-read the patch notes for all the releases since Apocrypha. All of them include multiple fixes and all have a section titled "need for speed". How do you expect us to believe that you are doing your best to tackle the problem of in-game lag when every new patch and release is making the problem worse?
Re-think your objectives, re-think your strategy. Re-think your policy on new-vs-working game features. Listen to your player base. They, as much as CCP have built EVE into what it is today. They are fed up.
That is all.
