Originally by: CCP Manifest Upon reading the subject of this thread, I find it necessary before reading the actual post or the replies to go ahead and say... no, you are not supposed to do that.
Local authorities in most countries do not look kindly upon it.
Can we please have a complete moratorium on snarky, "humorous" comments from CCP that don't actually address the issue the thread was created to raise?
Yes? We can? CCP will stop doing this?
Thank you. ----- Andreus Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor

Originally by: CCP Manifest My understanding is WHY NOT give the functionality to everyone when possible and then add the cosmetics later? Also, it's good to get something out earlier to make sure "it works" and the other versions can be optimized based off of feedback and practical, real world use.
OK, Manifest, riddle me this, if you will.
WHY NOT simply push back the expansion release date? WHY NOT deliver on your promises? WHY release an unfinished expansion? WHY the hell do we even have a test server if you're not going to test things on it? ----- Andreus Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor

Originally by: Jennifer Starling Sometimes it's really too bad that CCP doesn't allow their players to help develop the game. We know that any game that does gets marvellous results and it also attracts people who love to add something for free, which in turn makes them want to keep playing. Instead CCP is often re-inventing the wheel again.
This, basically. ----- Andreus Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor

Originally by: CCP Manifest WHY NOT simply push back the expansion release date? I guess I didn't make it clear enough in my previous response, but I think the idea behind it is to (1) get out the functionality to players as soon as it is ready
Sooner does NOT equal better.
Originally by: CCP Manifest and (2) use that opportunity to gather feedback to possibly be able to make the other ones even better.
That's what the test server's for!
Originally by: CCP Manifest WHY NOT deliver on your promises? Which promises specifically?
Almost everyone was previously under the impression that we'd be able to use all art assets on all races when the character creator came out, but that was taken away for a reason that was never adequately explained. You haven't delivered on the many promises that've been made over the last three years to fix very basic things about factional warfare, or even that you'll listen to what those problems are, to the point where I'm now forced to talk to one of your employees on Twitter to get anyone's attention about factional warfare.
I guess it was unfair of me to expect you to deliver all four captain's quarters in one go?
Originally by: CCP Manifest That depends on your perspective. In my opinion we're releasing the expansion finished, just in chunks as those chunks are finished.
This chunk is missing three-quarters of its goddamn content! You could avert this situation by simply pushing back the date of release until all your art assets were finished, which would also give you time to, I don't know, apply some basic fixes to factional warfare or let Team BFF roll out a few more fixes.
Originally by: CCP Manifest If it helps to consider it, we're releasing 1.0 finished
No, it won't be, because we'll be missing three out of four captain's quarters!
Originally by: CCP Manifest will release 1.1 finished and so on. It's a shift in the way we're delivering things and for many reasons it is better.
How?
Originally by: CCP Manifest Yes, before you get to it, there are some things about it not as good...but we believe those to be outweighed.
What?
Originally by: CCP Manifest We have been testing things on it. I've been there, in many of those tests. Maybe we don't test everything on it at all times, but due to the nature of our development cycle, that's just not possible.
Well a good deal of the rather urgent suggestions about Captain's Quarters - most egregiously, the fact that almost everyone wants it to be purely optional - don't seem to be getting any CCP response at all. Then there's this thing here where you're trying to use Tranquility as the test server, in which you're going to find out - from people with a lot less patience than me (and trust me, that's saying something) - exactly the same things we've been telling you in the Test Server Forums (decrease the system requirements, restore the old hangar view and make CQ entirely optional, why the hell didn't you release all four racial CQs, why can't I access all art assets on all races etc.). It's just that the people will be telling you these things more loudly and more angrily than us.
Originally by: CCP Manifest Hope those clarifications help.
Only to get a picture of the downsides of CCP's current release policies. ----- Andreus Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor

Originally by: S'qarpium D'igil Edited by: S''qarpium D''igil on 13/06/2011 16:45:07 ATTN: CCP RE: How to make your players happy with your new expansion Dear CCP,
Please fix/add the pod room that we all want, and also please make the CQ optional after docking to the existing hanger view. These are universally-requested changes from players of all demographics.
Humble regards, A concerned customer
PS. We asked for walking in stations. We didn't ask for you to force it on us, cut corners, and break the existing lore in the process.
This. ----- Andreus Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor

Originally by: Tonto Auri You do have option to not load CQ at all. Gladly, my docking times halved with it, as it does not need to load station environment at all.
No. This is a flawed argument. What we're saying is we want CQ to be optional, and have the old hangar view available when we don't want to be in CQ. ----- Andreus Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor

Originally by: Tonto Auri They release it when they feel it ready. No point in pushing release into the infinity.
And no point releasing something before it's finished.
Originally by: Tonto Auri Do you use test server daily?
Yes.
Originally by: Tonto Auri You're obviously judging this issue from your high chair of ignorance.
There are four captain's quarters to release. They are releasing one. One is one quarter of four. Expansion feature missing three-quarters of its content. Any more kindergarten maths you'd like me to do for you?
Originally by: Tonto Auri How can you miss it, if it wasn't been there at all?
>mfw you do not seem to understand the multitude of ways in which the word "missing" can be used
Originally by: Tonto Auri It was addressed already, were you been on Singularity AT ALL?
On Singularity right now. Whenever you're docked, you are in CQ. Only way to turn this off is to turn off station environment altogether, which does not restore the normal hangar environment, or the functionality (double-clicking main screen to access active ship's cargo bay, dragging ship to main screen to activate, etc.) lost because of the change. This is not a solution.
Originally by: Tonto Auri Unnecessary. The older hardware will phase away in a year, and current (even a year or two old) hardware is good enough to play current EVE with max details.
This is so inaccurate I'm not even going to bother with it. Sufficed to say that graphical hardware is not my problem - it's my friends, and a lot of people on the test server have been complaining about the framerate and the five-to-ten second delay it takes to load CQ when you dock.
Originally by: Tonto Auri For what reason? Just to please you?
No, to please almost everyone on the test server who's been asking it.
Originally by: Tonto Auri It is entirely optional.
No, it isn't. Some functionality has been permanently removed.
Originally by: Tonto Auri So, in closing the obove 3 points - what is the problem with your brain? Lack of oxygen or dehydratation?
You're a ****ing idiot.
Originally by: Tonto Auri You've never worked for a software project that span more than a few days to complete. (I mean, something more complex than "Hello, world.")
Wrong.
I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're a troll, rather than just ignorant and stupid. ----- Andreus Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor

Originally by: Adacia Calla Jesus ****ing christ people, for the last 4 years we've been getting new toys to play with regularly (i.e 6 months or less)
And most of those toys have been delivered in conditions that range from distinctly unfinished (see: planetary interaction) to downright broken (see: factional warfare). Some of the things we got four years ago are still awaiting patches. ----- Andreus Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor

Originally by: Asuri Kinnes Calling them out on BS is one thing, getting all butt-hurt because someone cracked a joke is lame as hell.
It's more the fact that they're cracking jokes to avoid giving legitimate answers. ----- Andreus Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor
