You said tempest and vargur twice xD

I hope this is a sign that the Megathron hull redesign is being shelved for being strictly inferior to the current model & textures.

What about fixing things, and making the UI more user and noob friendly? Like making rclick menus consistent (same rclick options in both market tabs, on characters on showinfo, context menu, whatever), making the logical (no me/pe/copy/etc options for BPCs, ever seen confused noobs?), doubleclicking on your own orders is not selling/buying but bumping, such things i call "user experience". Also, what about that new manufacturing interface we've been hearing about? And what about the mail window always shrinking the maillist to a few pixels so we _always_ have to resize it? And the chat windows blackening out when we click around the bottom of their tab? What about the things like the ragnarok BPO requires launcher parts but the ship has no launcher hardpoints? What about the *ugh* role "bitfield" system? Are any of the stuff that actually annoy us and ruining our "user experience" going to be fixed?

Does the highsec playlist include the carebears theme music? If it won't be included normally, will it be put in temporarily on april fools day?

Also, what are the actual differences in the music you plan on having between the different security areas and in which area(s) do you plan to use the current music?

Megathron hull is on duality so no luck with that sorry. Looks like all BS hulls will be V3ed this expansion.

We were looking at wall sized versions of the redone ship hulls on one of the meeting room projectors at the office the other day...they look reaaaaally good :p. The Vargur is my personal favorite this time around.

I normally get excited about devblogs, especially when they got Retribution in the title. But this contains nothing except stuff that should be kept internal such as what individual teams are called which is irrelivent to almost everyone who plays this game.

Was hoping for some new information thats actually useful as a player :(

btw i love your game but this devblog is worthless

If nothing else, it (as good as) confirms that Team Avatar have been binned. Some will be happy, others, not so much...

I sense a bait post

No, they are working on avatar shipwreck exploration, simply not for this release however.

They aren't y'know... but that's a conversation for another thread...

On a more constructive note... Some v3's were mentioned, but others, like the Megathron re-build (nice), Sansha and T3 v3's, etc... weren't mentioned - any official news on that?

Looks like a post that also belongs on the little things thread
Please add some tabs so the devs will respond to all your issues.

Team Five-0 are also taking a look at the rogue drone regions so you will see new and improved content there.

That's because we're redoing them twice! First we change them, and then we change them back. That way you get twice as much for your money!

Ok, I'm not going to BS my way out of this one...it was an editing failure and I've fixed it

Thanks!

I have written it down many times, they never respond. If it was their propose to make our everyday ingame life as hard as it can be. Sometimes they fix a little thing. Then the next tiniest patch within 2 weeks breaks the fix, and they don't even notice it. Regressions ftw.

the new targeting UI looks terrible, well part of it, the circles instead of box for the top right when you lock someone? it looks bad and much more confusing now

This soup feels rather thin.

Isn't there more to this expansion?
Will we get any changes related to Dust 514 - new sovereignty or new technectium system?

Would love a dev blog from the sound team

Ponies are improving the corporation recruiting interface, making it easier to search for a corporation. They're also improving the UI for corporation advertising, in addition to which they're going to give us some improvements to the whole recruitment process.

access configuration and forcefield passwords on ships to persist indefinitely over jumps and over downtimes.

Vargur

Did Ripley replace Unifex position or am i mixing something up here??

Still not quite happy with the drone destroyers. But other than that, good stuff.

So its just a PR devblog? Where is the new information that makes this worthwhile reading?

She posted a great shot of the hanger animation with the new destroyer, but didn't mention that we might be getting a new hangar? Please let me know if I should get excited for new hangars, or is this just trailer pron?

Thanks all for reading this and giving feedback. It is worth mentioning that team Klang is working on a devblog about the development that is happening on the sound front.


Unifex is now the executive producer and I'm the senior producer for expansion development.

You may have been absent for the last year or so, during which time literally hundreds of similar smaller issues have been addressed properly.

They can't fix everything at once, it has to be one step at a time, and frankly the issues they have already addressed were a lot more pressing than those you listed.

The person that suggested listing those in the appropriate thread was correct. They are starting a newer, more up to date list and your issues would actually get looked at in there... as they would actually pertain to the topic at hand.

New hangars are not being planned.

Guys.. Err Dear CCP. I enjoyed this game a lot but you must stop post blogs about everything. Coz next time you will be posting post about post posting.. You are starting to be similar to apple. "We added 300 things" see this 32 pixels icon ? It's our new awesome icon. You are making too much noise about nothing.. Who cares who is Team super ++ber pony ? I really don't care. Please..

That's a big letdown. Why would you show us this great view if we don't get to have it???

I like some things in the upcoming expansion, others not, but we will see.

Can we PLEASE get moveme bots on the test servers. This cannot be a hard task and it is superannoying when players make time free to test your stuff and then wait in vain for hours for someone to log in and move them.

Also, can we get a link to highres of that picture in your blog ? pretty please

That would be handy, yes, but if you are waiting for hours why not simply just take a few minutes and fly there yourself?

I could make 30 jumps...or I could go out and take a stroll in the sun. The decision was not hard.

What has Team Avatar been working on for Retribution? Anything? Or have they all been loaned out to other groups for this expansion?

Finally, Team TriLambda is also working on the Planetary Visualizations for the EVE part of DUST 514.

autopilot in a shuttle means you can do both :)

Or for quick travel:
Clone Jump...
or
Change Clone station to somewhere nearby where you want to go and SD pod....

It's not like implants or isk should prevent any of those! If your meeting corp mates, have one of them purchase a corp office in the desired location and then you can all pod death there!!

Yet you did neither. According to your post you instead "waited in vain for hours".

There is this thing called autopilot, and these other things called shuttles... add them together and you get 30 jumps in roughly 30 minutes AND a nice walk outside in the sun.

"The sound of battle"?

The sound of battle in space is dead silence, short of reverberations from your guns firing, and stuff impacting on your armor (Assumption: There is a tiny gap between your shields and your armor)

lol Team Avatar stated that there is not so much use anymore, to discuss WIS here on the forums ,they will bring the discussion to next Fanfest
So why asking about Team Avatar and WIS

Which is why I asked that, if team avatar is not doing WiS stuff for this expansion, are they doing? We have heard from the other teams what they are doing, but not team Avatar.

I'm hoping the splash screen music will be a little more militant and less sleep inducing than the current expansion.. Apocrypha, Dominion and Tyrannis all had music that captured the feel of the name of the expansion but Inferno music is like meh.

Team Avatar has been disbanded, and its members disbursed to other teams to help with Retribution.

ETA for the Incarna content they were prototyping is now officially :18months:.

Where did you here that? Link me please.

I heard the new Retribution score and it gave me goosebumps at least :)
