From my blog
Quote:
IGÇÖve worked in the IT industry for 20 years doing everything from help desk support to systems architecture. Experience like this allows me to communicate technically with others in a way that not everyone can. Allowing me to understand the technical complexities of the development and design teams issue may mean that a different approach from what the CSM proposes as an idea could become necessary. Without this knowledge, weGÇÖd simply think that the developers were being stubborn or ignoring the customer. With this experience we can find alternative solutions together to our problems.
I wonGÇÖt sit here and tell you to look for this type of experience from every CSM member, but you definitely want it from at least one. Knowledgeable customers are a software companyGÇÖs best friend, if only for their ability to clearly transfer technical details from end user to development. The CSM is your interface to CCP and not having someone like me on the CSM would be a detriment to how well the body itself could perform its tasks.
There will be a post a little later in the campaign about how "entitled" customers are a software company's worst friend and the implications of an entitled CSM that believes CCP answers to them can kill the entire process. Knowing where your expertise lies so you can take lead on a situation and when to let others take the spotlight are two things that only come with experience.

I like the whole 'know my Philosophy' approach.
So, here's a question... Let say, hypothetically, the eve community desires a change/upgrade for the ability of T3 ships to be able to swap subsystems in POSes or in ship fittings of carriers. How would you address/approach this specific issue with CCP? What are some of the questions you might ask the CCP dev team and what sort of follow up 'angle' would you use if initially shot down?
Just using this as an example which could be applied to a whole host of other items.

I will admit that I have no personal experience with T3 ships. Once I got to battleships I preferred to grow my capital skills and my logistic pilot skills. That doesn't mean I don't have some ideas, but I am going to defer to those with a bit more experience on some of the technical details.
I understand that this is going to have an affect on both PvP and PvE, but significantly more impact on PvP operations, especially with large fleet operations. To me, it may be putting too much power into the hands of those who fly large fleets to simply place a couple of carriers or POS's into a system and be able to constantly out adapt to your opponent.
I think that a mitigation to this is to increase the size of the subsystems, placing serious limits on how many a ship could carry. There are obviously ways around this, but they favor the defender in most cases, and we can add that up to the list of advantages granted by being a defender. There are obviously other things that can be used to help mitigate concern, such as preventing changing of modules while flagged.
My bulk experience is also in null sec, so I'm going to poll my fellow CSM members and players on the potential affects of this on low and high sec environments.
Once done, we can build a broad picture of the change, its advantages and disadvantages as well as ways to mitigate what the CSM and players saw as negatives of the change.
At this point, I think that the proposal for changes, would leave my individual shepherding and become the CSM's task. I would continue to ensure that action was taken on it, and drive it if the CSM chose for me to do that. Presenting a united front as a CSM is critical to the success of the body.
The next step is NOT approaching CCP. The next step is approaching the player base and doing one last cycle of revision based on feed back. Once that was complete, the CSM could approach CCP development about the change, request their review and go forward should CCP chose to. Let CCP developers apply specific numbers, and their input. And from there, we could enter a development cycle. To me this isn't a "radical" change, so the end result would appear in a single patch. I'd ask CCP to go over what they saw as the effects of this change and let the CSM know so we could address those as well.
If CCP chose to ignore our proposal, I'd ask for a specific reason for their concern. Depending on the response, we could then approach it either through a player driven reminder of who the overall customer is and what they want (See the POS thread for an example) or work with the CSM to address their concerns. It may eventually require that the CSM has to go back to the player base and say "We tried", but overall this is how I see the process working.

This is actually a really cool idea. If it were expensive enough, cowardly corps could hide out in 0.9 and 1.0 systems (or whatever), but oh! the economic loss! action > consequence. I like it.

So what about pushing CCP to have more engaging PVE content, and i don't mean being made more difficult. I mean something more than just Hubs, or DED sites (Hubs you got to scan down), Missions (Hubs where you got to talk to NPC's first), or Incursions (Hubs were Logistics are required and you get a lower payout initially). No Theme park bullshit, but there has to be some way for the CCP team to make PVE less mind numbing. What are your thoughts on this!? |

I'm assuming that we're defining PvE as strictly flying in space activity that involves actually doing something with your ship, as opposed to activities you engage in to make ISK.
I personally agree with you that it's boring. You kill wave after wave of ships, collect ISK and move on. Looting wrecks is a pain, especially if you are using something long range or a kiting strategy where wrecks are spread out over hundreds of km of space.
I could say that eye candy is the solution, but that would eventually wear itself out. No matter how amazing it looks, after a short time, you'll get bored of it, but I do have some other ideas that I think might help.
1. Break the monotony by changing tactics of the NPC ships, even during the battle.
2. Encourage group activity by increasing the rewards for PVE that requires multiple players. Things are less monotonous in groups.
3. Improve other aspects of the game so that "PVE" isn't the only method for making ISK.
4. Improve the chances to receive something NPC only. I'm not talking about economy beating numbers here, but fun stuff as well. Have a cool set of shades for your character drop from an NPC. Or boots. Or a monocle. Lock them to the character so there isn't a market for them.
At the end of the day though, you're still shooting AI driven ships in space. It will eventually become boring. At least in EVE you can move to other activities.
That said, I also know that grinding is part of any MMO. The balance between tedium and excitement is a delicate one. EVE has an advantage in that you can make money in so many ways. Mining, Hauling, Ratting, PI, Market Trading, Industry, Scamming. Focusing too much on one at the expense of others can fundamentally disrupt the economy, so you need to make sure the attractiveness of each is retained. Ensure players are aware of all the ways they can make ISK from day 1 (See my platform on a comprehensive new player walk through OUTSIDE of the game) so they have an idea on what to do when one facet of EVE becomes boring.
This might not be a complete solution, and I may have missed some blindingly obvious solutions. I know over the past year I've made my ISK from ratting, PI, Market Trading, Mining and Hauling. That's what keeps me from being bored with EVE.

My latest [url=http://artctura.com/?p=63]blog post[url] delves a bit deeper into the areas of the game I feel need the most attention. It's purposely light on details and those will be coming over the next couple of weeks in their own posts.
I'd like to also take a moment to thank everyone for the early support and look forward to an exciting campaign.

It'd be cool if PVE had consequences in the Sandbox. A bunch of -FA- people shooting Guristas rats? After enough death and destruction, the Guristas decide to drop a fleet and start reinforcing POCOs. And, yes, they'll show up to finish the job. That would open up opportunities for groups to get in on a big PVE fight and make lots on bounties...until PL hears and hot-drops them.
Boom: PVE leads to sandbox, without being horribly imbalanced.
On the backend, if -FA- instead runs missions all day long for Sisters of EVE, they'll give us benefits such as additional rights in their stations.
PVE effects on the sandbox needn't have a large magnitude to make for interesting gameplay.

I've been very disappointed that we haven't been able to get on with things yet, however CCP has been very upfront with the candidates about the delay and we've been getting notifications repeatedly throughout the process.
So, hopefully you'll be able to start pushing buttons today.

You have my vote, I think you agree with most of what I would like to see. I am uncertain of where to actually vote, I did last election but it's not very obvious this time. I noticed the question about insurance, if anything it should be increased for payment of lost fittings but that's me. |
