So... I'm pretty sure this will get lost in the sea of rage, but I'll put my two bits in:
I'm losing faith in CCP. EVE is awesome. The direction CCP as a whole seems to be taking it in... is getting towards a game I don't really want to play anymore.
I understand some of the choices you guys have made, but the way that it's been implemented had been...remarkably sub-par. And just expecting the customers to suck it up and roll with it every single time... well, you've pretty much laid the last straw on this customer's back.
I'm going to keep an eye on EVE for awhile, but unless there is some sort of explanation that actually makes sense about the whole newsletter thing, or you make it so captain's quarters is actually optional (I want to be able to play on a satellite internet connection again!) I don't think I'll be swimming in the skies of New Eden anytime soon.
As silly as it may be, I still have a kernel of hope that the people in touch with the paying customer base in Iceland will be able to carry the day.
Meanwhile, I'm off to play Minecraft.

Based on the awful graphics in station and the clunky behavior of walking and camera angles and adjustments, it's pretty obvious it wasn't ready but they had nothing else to offer. I can't even figure out why in the character creator my toons look awesome and in station they look like morbid old hags and depressed beat up men.
I said this in our alliance ***** thread. It's like CCP doesn't have Editors for their designs. I wish so much they'd hire me to go look at their proposed plans and actually edit them so that they don't welp constantly. If they do have editors, fire them, b/c it's obvious they aren't doing their jobs. If it's not them, then it's their management who's fubar not giving the editors the right to tell someone their work is **** and do it over.
CCP needs to realize that the game has at least 15 major issues in 0.0 along with 100 minor ones. They don't even address the 15 major one's til players are happy and we're shocked and awe'd when they finally hit one of the minor ones.
Seriously, how do you guys go about setting an agenda? I don't get how you guys prioritize patch work over there because it's like you avoid anything that's relevant.
I'd be happy with the station stuff if it were part of a bigger patch. But tossing this out without any significant fixes to 0.0 all the while telling us it's 6 more months til we can hope for some relevant fixes to supers, sov, and other 0.0 fiascos and not even touching the other major problems more than likely is not a way to keep customers around.
I mean FFS dudes, we told you Supers would be a problem the moment seleenes ******ed ass announced it. We told you exactly what the problem would be. You didn't listen then and now you act totally ignorant of the problem that came true.
Short of dreads, no capital ship has any balance or role in this game. Carriers are a joke and have been a fiasco since launch. SC/Moms have been an even bigger blunder b/c they're carriers on steriods but not really b/c they cost too much so "we have to give them more overpowered ****" Titans are just everything that would make dreads overpowered if they weren't balanced while tossing on 40x more HP and oh yeah, a 1 shot kill weapon that every game ever invented knows is a failed idea.
Bombers are a joke
Fleet warping in blobs is a fiasco
Drones are out of control "fix it balance items" that have no logic to their implementation on 90% of the ships in game.
Dictor bubbles last to long. Hictor bubbles don't stay up long enough and are too big for a movable bubble.
POS have every flaw possible for what they are.
Sov stuctures are a joke in every fashion
Sov warfare is even more of a joke.
There's no balance between ship sizes/classes anymore.
There's no sense of races.
There's no reason to do mixed racial fleets. It's either all amarr, all matar, or all caldari missile spamming ***gotry.
WTF Minmatar guns on almost every BS.... cause of a "balance change.
WTF hybrids.
Range warfare really means between 40 and 90...
WTF probing
WTF warping on grid
WTF command / titan bonuses sitting in towers w/o a risk in the world.
WTF super cap bouncing... AKA go back to actually implementing formation warps.
WTF desynces were fixed... oh wait.
WTF BOTTING!!!
WTF standings and standings changes. Blobs became bigger as a result of bluing being a 1 15minute change away. And TEMP BLUEING omg even worse.
How is it the only way to have fun in 0.0 is to become a nomad non space holding alliances sitting in an unconquerable station with jump clones and bridges to escape system when camped all the while destroying the space people hold while avoiding the horrible nature of sov warfare and making more money doing it.
and more....
That.

I'm sorry, but are you blind? Did you not read general discussion for the past day?
The chief complaint is the circulating leaked document that, for all intents and purposes, tells us that whenever CCP said "MT will be for vanity items only" was yall blowing smoke out of your asses planning family vacations and waiting for all the other **** you're gonna use the NEX for. Please address this complaint, as its the one costing you the most players.

People have wanted Incarna/WIS for a long time. I think a lot of that was the hope that it would evolve in to something like Dust (albeit contained in the Eve universe). Now that CCP has decided to make that aspect a completely separate game some people feel that it is unnecessary and it is just a vehicle to cash in on the MT.

Pann,
Sucks you got put out in front of the bus. This looks like the nuclear option of drama bombs, but for the life of me I can't understand why.
Internal newsletters and memos are a long way from official company policy. You know this, I (and a vanishingly small handful of players, apparently) know this. There's a wide, wide gap between a few dev's ideas and opinions and a finished product.
So I'll just add my voice to the tiny minority of players here who do NOT think that CCP is killing EVE. I will NOT be unsubbing, because I don't think there's anything to get worked up about. If you do at any point start selling in-game items with stats (wtfpwnmobiles, for instance) for cash, that will likely cause me to leave. So long as it's all just monocles and account services, we're cool.

In my eyes, here's what we're faced with.
CCP is growing stagnant in the market. Stagnancy causes businesses to die. If CCP has not had a growth of business (which I don't think they really have) yet subscription prices remain the same, CCP needs to either raise subscription prices or create another way to generate income. I think what we're faced with here is the real situation. As time goes by, we've been paying $15/Ç15/whatever and inflation has set in. Inflation causes our dollar value to slump, yet CCP is a growing company that is expanding their production to include costs that we do not contribute to. Costs are going up, incoming money is staying the same.
Therefore, we have three options if CCP is to stay in business.
1) We pay willingly for micro-transactions
OR
2) We pay increased subscription fees
OR
3) CCP cuts some of their expanding to other ventures.
Since I think 3 is out of the question because CCP would rather grow than remain locked in EVE Online, I would happily welcome $20/month subscription to avoid this micro-transaction stuff they have put forth. It would not be a necessary eliminator of incoming debt to CCP, but it could hold them over until DUST or WOD is released.
Just my two cents.

Dear fellow players, stop the "BURN THE WITCH" discurse, it's getting nowhere.
Dear CCP headmasters, listen to the facts. We love this game. Realize that and you will understand why you just can't change the fundamentals without breaking it, killing it.
Most of us can live with the problems it has, like utterly unbalanced supercaps, lack of engine trails, some bugs, and crap. We can live with it because we believe it will be fixed, and it's not BREAKING the game.
You lie twice to the player base, you lose trust. You lose trust, we start not believing that stuff WILL get fixed.
You say expansions and features will be delivered when they are ready. It didn't happen like that, and we lose trust. Some people overreact, some people quit. Threadnaught follows.
You say MT is not coming to eve. MT comes to EVE. It's OK! It's just vanity!
Then some document from CCP says you are studying MT for gameplay. Well, see the problem? It's all about trust. And this time you are messing with GAMEPLAY. If the player base does not trust you, we will all believe that the next step might(will) be worse. First it's paint jobs, then it's the whole ship, ammo, standings. Then it's everything. It doesn't really matter if we can get it all with ISK, because there will be always more that we'll be missing because we don't want to pay MORE. We are already paying for our hobbie.
Monocle IS NOT THE PROBLEM.
Who is going to play(pay) a game that has problems that are only fixed with MT? Who is going to play, not knowing if the next feature will be a MT good? Like exiting our CQ.. If we don't trust you, we can never know.
This will kill EVE.
Question: Why don't you release ONE EXPANSION per year, keeping the middle of the year to FIX problems and delevop the next expansion with more time? This will actually cut costs. Seriously, I don't think anyone (not players nor CCP) needs one expansion every 6 months. We just want stuff that is announced to be delivered in a good way, not hurting the game and working.

You want out of this CCP? I got the perfect way out for you:
Put it in the LICENSE AGREEMENT!
Put in the license agreement you will not add items that give any advantage what-so-ever. Vanity only. So if you break this promise we can sue your asses off.
Just to be clear:
vanity (plural vanities) 1. That which is vain, futile, or worthless; that which is of no value, use or profit.

Originally by: Kalestia Barrak Edited by: Kalestia Barrak on 24/06/2011 02:09:19 CCP,
Everyone's ****ed about the high price of the Monocle. But like Horse Armor before that, sales will tell.
The price really is insulting, and an explanation is really called for in how someone thought $70 was a justifiable price to pay. Maybe it was never meant to be that way to begin with. Maybe we'll see a price drop to $50 and you'll pretend like you did the community some great service.
What's more insulting though, and really telling, is the newsletter leak.
CCP has done well in creating a unique environment. But that's been in spite of, not because of, the way you all operate. For the last couple of years, EVE has been progressing with little sense of direction other than whatever impulses the designers had that week. Trailers of atmosphere flying, or markets on PDA, or ground combat (which you opened a studio for, found that your idea wouldn't work with Microsoft (and had the gall to walk away), then salvaged it as a PS3 exclusive.) The game is littered with the broken features and promises of a better game, all while continuing to pound the drum of "sandbox/butterfly effect/meaningful pvp". That drum is sounding increasingly hollow.
EVE is fun to play for a small handful of people. It's fun to play for the developers. And for those who want a sci-fi MMO, it's simply the best we have available. EVE succeeds simply because there is nothing else. Many have stuck with it despite the lack of direction and broken features because there's little alternative. Many others join at the promise of a new direction, only to quit a few months later. There is never any follow through, just the next "feature" and "expansion".
The vast majority of MMO players ignore it. Because EVE is getting harder and harder to justify as being enjoyable. And those few features that are fun are half completed, broken, or just forgotten. Many have simply given up on the sci-fi MMO all together for another genre that has more direction, more polish, and more follow through.
The MT push tells me that CCP really has no direction for EVE. There is no viable or desirable push to grow EVE's population, or broaden it's appeal, or just make it fun. It will forever be the land of the "hardcore", only now we'll charge them for additional items as well. That's what will bail out all of the frantic expansion and sagging numbers (and they've been sagging for a while) Not a bigger, better EVE, but EVE with hats.
I canceled my accounts a month ago, and I muse aloud to you and the community while I wait for the 4 months left on this one to expire. 6 years. Nearly $450 to you last year for my three accounts. I didn't think it would end this way.
You guys have a lot of soul searching to do, and some tough realizations ahead. Maybe people will buy your monocles, and MT will be a success.
But EVE will never be the great universe you wanted it to be.

Hi DEV team.
I am fairly new to this game and what brings me to new games is Gameplay. Seeing the public outcry of players I would advise to really listen to what they want more so than what you really design.
It has been the player base and the clear communication between CCP/CSM and the Players that driven this game to a whole new level. You took this expansion and almost threw that whole bond away in a matter of seconds.
Games may be a hobby but games are meant to be played as Games. You treat this game otherwise and you will hurt your players. You hurt your players and you get ill words, you get ill words and you will lose everything that you built up to be. Has it ever occurred that if you Hurt EVE's player base then you will hurt DUST514 player base?
I joined this game particularly because of this ad The Butterfly Effect. Please, return your attention to the Gameplay, Nahtzee couldn't have said it any better honestly, The Noob Effect.
Please take this seriously, I want my words to be heard too. |

2) Incarna : Captains Quaters needs to remain 100% OPTIONAL in the future, with work done to restore what was taken away (hanger bay) and replaced by a brown door only missing the "GET OUT" sign.
3) A formal policy announcement of what actual :spaceship: related content will be enacted upon this year. I realize Incarna is now splitting resources, but you cannot neglect the 'golden goose' that made CCP what it is today from that tiny indy dev studio back in 2003, the players who actually UNDOCK and fly around in those spaceships.

First, Welcome back to the forums Pann! I think it's been about 7 years since I've seen you post.
Second, I think People should take it easier on Soundwave. Here's why:
What appears in the news letter is probably more in the nature of an exercise to get people (in CCP) talking (Here is one fairly extreme view of where AUR transactions could go.) I'm not prepared to demonize someone based on that.
If he confirms that yes, outside of the internal-newsletter-editorial format he really supports everything that he wrote there, then I might wonder why he is working in game design for CCP, though, since he would clearly be entirely disconnected both from the player base, and what it means to have a player driven economy (One of Eve's major selling points for these many years).
I'm much more concerned about what's his name - Zinfandel? - that wanted to add a spontaneously appearing scorpion to the shop. The fact that CCP let it get as far as testing is much, much more worrying to me than something Soundwave - probably just adopting an 'adversarial position' wrote in an internal newsletter that doesn't necessarily have any bearing on where things actually go (Though to be clear, I do hope that CCP does categorically refute the idea of non-vanity AUR items). --------------

CCP Pann,
I just want some official assurance that CCP will NEVER sell ANYTHING for real world money that can be used outside of the stations.
I adore Incarna, not for what it is at the moment, but for what it will be in the future. As perhaps the only real girl in Eve, I'm happy to play a little Space Barbie (as some of you guys have called it) in the stations. The idea of getting off the ship and walking around and chatting it up with other players is appealing to me.
I'll agree with everyone else that we should still have the old station interface and the option to exit from there and go into CQ. I'm already done with walking around CQ and it is now the way since it doesn't actually give me any new functionality (though the new screen is really nice).
Vanity Items...I really like the idea but I'll never pay real cash for them. AUR...it's silly to tie this to PLEX. If I were going to purchase a vanity item I have to first commit to paying $20 for a PLEX? Whoever thought of that model needs a vacation.

IMO CQ is an awesome step toward something that will take the game to the next level. But the Incarna release and the events that followed it have introduced two distinct problems; one of immersion, the other of trust.
In terms of emersion please fix the "I leave my ship when I dock" situation because that just kills the game. No pod pilot is going to de-goo him/herself and then get dressed just to drop some ore out of the cargo bay (or do whatever) and then undress, re-goo, and undock.
Ideally the solution will involve putting the old (or more sexy) docked view back, including the ability to spin the ship (seriously, that's part of EVE lore) and adding an disembark button that causes the pod pilot to de-goo and get dressed.
Put the "drag icon to change ship" feature back in. Put the station logo back in. Give us an indicator of what ship we have ready no matter where we are in station.
Also, provide a roadmap for Incarna updates from this point onward. I'd like to know when you will fix the above and when I can leave my CQ and enter the station.
Personally I don't care for vanity items or MT. MT is already in the game and does give advantage to players if only in the form of convenience. I know plenty of players who haven't ground for isk in a long time but trade PLEX for isk and spend all of their game time on PVP. Likewise I'm sure there are a lot of capital ships in the game that have been bought for cash via PLEX. But these are all optional. No player is excluded because they don't have $$$$ to throw at the game above their subscription they can choose to invest time and make isk. A player's ability to excel in EVE should not be a function of their disposable income.
What really matters here though is the loss of trust caused by the revelation that there are some people at CCP who think that they can simply milk the EVE players for cash by manipulating their human nature to cough up for items. Worse still, there appears to be a mentality that we will somehow accept that people can buy advantage in store. We're not stupid. If we were stupid we'd be trying to get to level 10,000 on Angry Birds and not spending hours learning how to play this game to our advantage. The fact that one member of your staff seems to think that golf players invest a lot of time in research and EVE players don't clearly shows that said member of staff has no clue as to who we are and what level of time we put into EVE outside of shooting/mining/trading ****.
In my opinion the only way to fix the trust issue is for CCP's CEO to release a video interview (yes, a video) to give us a direct and open explanation of what CCP has planned for this game and then stick to that vision. Rebuilding trust will take a long time. A pre-prepared written statement is not enough. I want to look into his eyes and see that he isn't lying through his back teeth about this.
All of the other issues are normal. Performance, bugs, undeclared changes; nothing particular new for a software update and probably things that we should be used to. Not good of course, but right now the immersion and trust issues are the key things.
If you need more money you have the option to raise the subscription price. Don't try and **** around with our minds because it's pretty clear you don't know how we think. This isn't WoW. This is EVE and it's brilliant because it's not WoW. Surely a predictable income is more important to your business than plugging your revenue directly into the unpredictable nature of the sandbox?

This post means more to me than anything else. You communicated with the community and accepted fault for not responding sooner. Personally I think people are whining a bit too much but by this post alone, CCP will forever be the best MMO company I've ever bought a product from (that and you asked for parlay ).
My two iskers is that Incarna didn't really do much of anything. Yes a first step, but besides the coolness of the character, which I do think is pretty cool, there isn't much of a purpose to it. Hence, I turned it off but now I'm stuck with a door that doesn't tell me my ship nor does it let me double click for cargo :p. I think there is a lot of potential here but for now, perhaps the best decision is to let people turn off CQ and revert to the previous ship view. If that isn't possible, maybe just change the log in direction so we can look at our ship (which is completely out of scale btw - shuttles are almost as big as battle ships) and do whatever we need to do. Also, since I get a CQ in EVERY station, I'm not really sure why it's necessary or unique. Perhaps we can determine a home station that this will open in? Perhaps this is for further stuff down the road (bars, etc) but if I don't want to get out of my ship every station, I really shouldn't have to.
As far as the vanity shop, I'm not sure why you are using plex to do this. This seems like a really, really bad idea. Yeah, you can trade them in game for Isk, but you can't get them without Real Cash through buying a plex. This is crossing into territory no one really likes considering the idea that you could buy a ship with real cash.
Finally, with the performance issues. I just upgraded my computer and am running a 6770 card. It's completely fine for me, as it should, but some of the loading is a bit slow so I can only imagine what the other players are experiencing. Also, my fans do rev up when I'm in game. This didn't happen prior to incarna.
Thanks again for the reply and I'll look forward to what you come up with for answers soon. *** Looking for testers for my industry program! Details Here! |
