Ok so we have too many double topics and redundant topics in this forum because of people failing to do research or searching the forums to see if their topic has been posted. So below are a list of hot topics that have been brought up. CCP Excellence No features left behind
Blasters 2.0
POS Changes
EvE Fonts
Suicide ganking and insurance pay outs
Rockets
Assault Frigates 4th Bonus
UI: Custom Folders for Contacts
Learning Skills
Backlog Changes
Neutral RR/ Agression mechanic
Railguns balancing
CYNO EFFECTS!
There - quick links so we can stop with the duplicate topics. ----

Amazing how many of those are more than a year old and still haven't been addressed (possibly the cause of this post). We might not have as many double posts if the issues were addressed, instead of left in a year-plus long backlog.
Anyway, bump to this post so people can read over all the stuff already discussed as well as throw support into a unified post rather than 15 different posts.
This signature is useless, but it is red.

Thanks for teh support, but I dont want to have a unified post for supporting, as such some people may support some topics, while not support others. This is more for a quick link so people can send their support to the topics which interest them easily.

I was supporting in hopes that other people might read this. Most posts without supports are ignored. Getting something pinned in assembly hall is fairly unlikely, so the best you can hope for are people posting replies/supports to keep this on the first page where others will read it.
P.S. Please add: [Proposal] Make Motherships Larger as it has about the same level of support as the other topics in your list. It is pretty new in comparison to the other topics though. This signature is useless, but it is red.

Thanks for the list. If CCP would sticky this, and if you would be kind enough to keep this list updated, it could help cut down on the double topic crap in Assembly Hall. This is EVE: *click click click click* OOPS. |

Edited by: Mynxee on 14/09/2010 11:28:17 The underlying problem here is that while AH is a great place to discuss proposals and debate their validity, it is a poor venue due to lack of features for being able to easily find, vote up or down, and assess the status of various proposals. If a more appropriate tool were being used for managing proposals, the desire for a stickied "hot topics" thread would probably not exist.
But...since we don't have such a tool, such a stickied thread seems useful. However, a bunch of potential problems come to mind:
-- How committed is the OP to keeping the original post updated as proposals are addressed by CCP or as the status of items on the list otherwise changes? Now, sure, but what about in a year? Two years? Keeping track of a proposal's support/non-support ratio is a challenge--given that would have to be reviewed regularly to be sure of the actual support count (you know how people express support but forget to click the "Support" checkbox).
-- What happens if the OP's account goes inactive for some reason? All kinds of things happen in RL that take players away from the game; if the OP can't (or no longer wants to) log in to update the post, then what? That is why in other forums, CCP staff tend to be the authors of the stickied, non-static threads--that way, there is a guarantee of access to keep the thread updated.
-- Who decides what is hot enough to go on the list? Everyone will believe their pet proposal is hot enough to be on the list and many will express annoyance at topics being included that don't relate to their interests or which they perceive as being pushed by a null sec voting block. The selection of topics is a big can of worms.
-- When do items lose the "hot" status such that they should be removed from the list? Supports/non-supports can change a lot over time--especially if something happens in game to affect the validity of an AH proposal. Who makes the decision to take an item off the "hot" list?
I've got this thread bookmarked so I can watch it and will bring it up with the other CSM members, but I think there are too many potential problems to make a stickied hot topics thread advisable. Depending on responses from others, I might be convinced otherwise.

This is a temporary, half-solution, Mynxee. It isn't perfect, but it is better than the current system.

Mynxee - yes there are several problems that can occur as I am not a player and stuff can happen.
But at least this is a good temp solution until something more permanent can be worked out. As for what is on the list currently, I tried to weigh out hot issues as ones that would affect eve as a whole rather than just a select minority.
Yes i will admit mothershps model size only affects a minority, but anyone who has seen them test server, or regular server will realize, hey my battle ship is almost just as big. So this one was more for a aesthetic feel for eve, plus it was requested. However I am willing to work with the csm to change the links and post which ones are hot and people should look at.

A nice idea till we get (hopefully) better forums.
Another possible way to handle this would be as a "most frequently asked for" wiki page with links to the issues here. At least that way we could get it stickied while allowing players to edit as needed.

Ok so we have too many double topics and redundant topics in this forum because of people failing to do research or searching the forums to see if their topic has been posted. So below are a list of hot topics that have been brought up.
I share your frustrations and goals, but i have some problems with this. How exactly could a typical player -not a forum regular - find some of these topics? I'm not arguing or criticizing but without keywords and such like, I find free text search using eve-search/google has some limitations. Starting with the missing forum search from CCP - if searching historical forums were important and to be encouraged, then why does not CCP provide it.
BTW, I am not quite sure why there is a F&I and a AH forum?
i also see a disconnect as to the feedback forum goals: is this where paying customers provide feedback to a corporation? I.e., if I write Toyota that I do not think their cars should accelerate on their own, I do not expect a response of "what a noob - it's already been suggested" And it matters to McDonalds whether 15 or 15,00,000 think their new sandwich tastes bad; it's not just the topics; number of responders matter.
A lot of companies use non-employee (i.e. unpaid) forum members to help police organize things. In particular, if there were a way a forum member could do a quick drop down and have a post moved to the "suicide/insurance" thread/topic/keyword. Probably much more likely to be successful than training 350,000 people to behave differently using forum software that has many opportunities for improvement. This is not just AH: it would be nice if a click could move the topics into the "Raven or Tengu" sub-forum. ( And in the redundant poster's defense, seeing their are 27000 eve-search entries for raven fit or 10000 for raven fitting does not put you that much closer to an answer for a common question ) And how many posts about jump clones or mining could be answered with a single link? But I strongly believe that if the choices are between changing fundamental human behavior or changing the forum software, it would be easier to change the software to make it easier to coalesce the common questions and suggestions.
I also think the new forums are very important going forward and the CSM should push very strongly for their features in advance rather than letting CCP pull their usual ship it first and then respond with the "well that is a limitation of our Micro$oft tool" or "we'll polish this later". And of course prevent the "we do not support the Android/iPhone/iPad/Firefox/Safari/Chrome browser" or "we require Flash or .Nyet or ActiveX"
-------
Perhaps the process is someone (CSM? forum maven) did an official quarterly top 25 or 50 sticky. Not as some volunteer who may be unmotivated or unsubscribed in 3 months but a commitment to the process from CCP/CSM. I would mimic the QEN and call it the QWN - Quarterly Whine Newsletter but Suggestion or Feedback would be more politically correct.
Way too much to hope for is a quarterly poll on the top 25 - where people chose a few small med and large features. Because these days, for non-lag features the question is not whether it is good but rather where it is good enough.

Don't mean to plug my own threads here but what about this? T3 Logi subsystems are terrible in their current state. Their uses are almost exclusively limited to gimmick setups even in the alliance tournament.

Again, figuring out which 25 or 50 to put on that list ... not to mention the lack of a reasonable way to easily count supports (and discern non-supports from un-thumbed supports and supportive discussion) would require a huge amount of work to keep up with it.
But as a start, I'll ask for this thread to be stickied (not sure they'll comply, though) and OH can deal with keeping it maintained, since he started it! If it stops being maintained, it can just be unstickied.
Also to the OP:
-- Please capitalize Assembly and Hall in your thread subject (/teachermode off)
-- For those items which have been raised and passed by CSM (as quite a few of your listed items have been), you might want to link to the issue thread in the wiki, since that will contain vote results and also link to the proper forum thread and any related others.

Second, @ ED - I would love to link it, but as it stands t3 are horribly underpowered and need a severe re-balance. I am starting to write a comprehensive proposal to go through to redo and balance t3 ships. You know jack of all trades master of none how some t2 ships are better than the t3 counter part, etc. Lack of drone bays blahh blaah blaah you get the idea. But ill take your write up and add it to the comprehensive one.
Third @ mynxee - yes teacher I will work on this this weekend on getting the wiki articles linked and the submitted article from the dev blog linked.

First let me say congrats on getting this stickied. I hope you keep it up to date or someone picks up the torch when/if you leave the game. This is a good thing for this forum. Especially since the noise to signal ratio is so incredibly high.
I completely understand your view on T3. While I don't view them incredibly underpowered I do think they are incredibly limited for the price you pay. I honestly think removing racial requirements from the fittings so that caldari can fit amarr modules would make for more powerful and even specialized ships.
I look forward to your article :)
