It's always the same after every expansion or major patch. This time people even stop asking because it looks like a lost battle. Hell, people just go check what they need to know on other websites. Witch even makes me more upset. Independent non-professional websites have the time to update new info on the items in game and you guys don't? Shame on you! |

I agree, it sucks. The item database should always be up to date.
If CCP can't keep it up to date, they should just delete the whole worthless thing.

Edited by: Doxs Roxs on 07/03/2007 13:52:04 I think this all comes down to not doing the job properly in the first place.
If properly setup the information you see here on these webpages would be taken directly (or indirectly) from the same source as the game itself uses.
However, automating this, cleaning the data etc. requires extra work and therefore its probably not prioritized.
Cleaning up the original data and sticking to one way of storing things would probably go a long way towards making this possible. At the moment a 40% range bonus might mean a penalty on one item and a bonus on another, concistency seems to be a huge problem...

Yes, SHAME on CCP. You should be embarrassed and ashamed.

But then again this whole website/forum needs updating.
Originally by: CCP Arkanon I frown on employees being power players to the extent that their gameplay results in any sort of domination over others. I donÆt believe CCP employees should run the EVE universe. |

It's not like they have to dynamically generate it on each page view, and why don't they put in all the attributes like 'other' sites do. It's frustrating.

Yeah, this has gotten pretty bad. It's been months. There have been releases of both Quickfit and EVEMon with updates for the new database information, not to mention third party websites.

yep, that stuff is old, but I don't use it so I'd rather have the devs devoted to fixing lag or improving the market than bothering to update stuff you can easily see in-game (or on other websites, as stated by another)

Yeah, what about the half-assed ôsearchö implementation, or the Fan Submissions page that hasnÆt worked in over a year, or this forum that lacks some of the most basic features (and canÆt even be used in the IGB for that)? AFAIK all of this, for a long time, was t20Æs job. Need I say more?

Agreed! Searching the Item Database is so much easier than using the Market ingame, and they don't even have the Tier 3 BS's in it yet. Revelations has been out a long time!

I don't mean to accuse you, but do you actually know of this or are you just making an underhanded attack at T20 because of the scandal? ] |

Perhaps they could implement the same system they use for updating the front page within 3 attoseconds of Eve getting any kind of positive mention, anywhere in teh intarweb, in any language whatsoever.
Oh noes, that only works when hooking people in to play the game, not providing information or documentation for those that already play it.

I will just settle for a listing of primary and secondary attributes required for the skills. That is not even listed on the DB....

Yeah. Who cares if the official site is outdated. Its unprofessional but we're gamers, we're all unprofessional. Just add it to the list of broken crap.

CCP: I'd be more than happy to work out a solution to automatically synchronize the public item database with the eve-o database. I don't want to move to iceland though. Let me know if you want to see my resume'

CCP has its strengths and its weaknesses. Everything web is an utter weakness of them. It's notoriously outdated, buggy, and misses features which are standard on other sites since years (search function anyone?).
It's a shame, really.

This is a silly question but i'll answer just the same: You might want to check on modules, ships, skills, whatever, when you cannot log, like at work for example. Also, this is the official web site, so one would assume that is the best/most complete location for information related to the game.
As for people saying CCP has better things to do... I have a hard time believing that the same dev that trys to fix fleet lag is in charge of updating the item database, or making it dynamic. |

Isn't this information available on other websites? Why spend time on something which is already done elsewhere better by the players? -
If you go into your options menu, there's a difficulty slider. Put that all the way over to the easiest setting and you'll be fine. |

The problem isn't that it's not done right - the problem is that it's on the site and incorrect. If it weren't on the site, people would use other site's tools. But since it is, they assume it's accurate.
Heck, I've been playing for months, and I only noticed a few days ago that it wasn't accurate (I was looking up ships to compare while at work, and noticed that the Tier3 BS's weren't in there)...
I'd say delete them or auto-update them. One or the other, don't care which. It shouldn't be that hard to have them be links similar to "show info", though; that appears to just be HTML/XML documents called from within the game.

Yes it is. This version even cheekily uses CCP's look and feel. Can you spot the difference? Yup, that's right, the unofficial one has more up to date information
