Topic: this is not related to gameplay, but is connected to Forums, and an idea to make DEV blogs more informative.
How: change/reprogram the "Jump to first DEV post" button to "List DEV posts"
Background: at the moment as a DEV blog comes out, the comments very quickly get filled with questions, mudflinging, general chitchat.
If you want to look for genuine information from the source (DEVs) and not be misguided by what people think the devblog means, you have to shift through walls of text, and dozens of pages of hatred and accusations (forums eh). It is a very negative exparience. The Jump to first DEV post does not help, since first post is always a DEV.
By implementing my suggestion, you could easily filter out the "noise" and focus on which player questions have been answered by DEVs, and gather information more effectively. This way you as a player could spend less time on forums, and more time ingame playing and interacting.
Clarification: I am aware of the "DEV posts" button, but that lists ALL posts made by DEVs in chronological order. Since there are many threads on these forums, it is not an optimal tool for gathering information.
Looking forward to your comments whether this idea would improve your forum experience.

Click on the blue ribbon that's on ever dev post's avatar; It will jump you straight to the next dev post. A listing of all dev posts might be interesting, but I am afraid that this will pull them out of the context of the ongoing discussion before/around the dev post's post. |

Thank you, I did not know this function existed.
This makes my suggestion obsolete. |

To see that listing of all dev posts, copy the thread title you're interested in, click the 'DEV POSTS' button at the top of the page (next to 'SEARCH'), then paste the title in the 'Topic' field, narrow down 'Forum' field as appropriate (to be nice to the web server), then click the orange 'Search' button, e.g.
https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=search&topic=Dev+Blog%3a+Reprocess+all+the+things!&forumID=247&devbadge=1&gmbadge=1 Meh. |

would reccomend OP request a lock on this thread.... though it certainly wouldn't hurt for that 'jump to next dev post in this topic' button to be better publicised..... For posting an idea into F&I: come up with idea, try and think how people could abuse this, try to fix your idea - loop the process until you can't see how it could be abused, then post to the forums to let us figure out how to abuse it..... If your idea can be abused, it WILL be. |
