... Once CCP has a full team on each one of those issues and is also working on new game content then they can work on the stuff only a small minority of EVE wants.
Not that I disagree with your assessment of what needs to be fixed in EVE (and then some); but how do you know CCP does not have a full team assigned to each of those issues? ...

Edited by: Jovius Marginus on 09/04/2007 23:44:42 Because alot of the issues (POS warfare, amarr, logoff/logons, local, lowsec, others) have been around for 2+ years since I joined the game. Even after hundreds of complaints none have them have been fixed and most are being ignored.
Combine that with CCP talking about 2000 player battles in public interviews (yeah right) and lag at its worst point since Ive been playing (150 players brings system to a standstill) I think its time to admit CCP isnt working on those issues like they should be. Then we get dev blogs about crap like eve-voice (teamspeak ftw???) and walk in station.

As a fairly new person who runs missions i think this walk in station clip looked pretty cool, are they going to have an on station combat system as well, I can lock my target and start hitting F1-F5 for my weapons and then shield booster. J/king
a more serious question i have is will the agents be part of the walk on station thing? as in will i have to wait inline or something like that to get a mission from an agent? or will they be more or less how they are now?

By 2008 I guess CCP mean 31st December 2008 at 23:59:59 AT THE EARLIEST.

Originally by: Jovius Marginus We keep hearing that CCP is fixing things but are never shown any actual improvements. In the last few months we have gotten info on in station avatars and in game voice neither of which 99% of eve cares about.
Things CCP still havenÆt fixed many 2+ years old:
Amarr POS battle mechanics (find something better there are plenty of ideas) lag (getting worse everyday, most large battles end in multiple node crashes) capital ship balance Titans logoff/logon traps (still not totally fixed) blob warfare lowsec balance t2 BPOs deployable defenses in alliance sov systems local (be gone with you) ECM (underpowered) damps (overpowered) factional warfare new graphics planet development nos better market tools (better options for monitoring stocks) better corp hanger tools (audits/logs) did I mention the game crippling lag?
Once CCP has a full team on each one of those issues and is also working on new game content then they can work on the stuff only a small minority of EVE wants.

True, however I think that many of the things you site haven't been fixed because of management direction, design and coding issues, not because a team had not been assigned. Anyway, I certainly share your frustration.
While the utility of both EVE Voice and WIS is yet to prove itself, both projects have separate teams working on them that apparently didn't even exist at CCP until very recently. ...

Originally by: Jovius Marginus I would rather have the programmers who worked on this either work on anything else or just send me a check for my percentage of the salary.
What you would rather doesn't matter in the larger scheme of things. Not to mention that its beginning to infuriate me and anyone else with a half cent of common sense the way you guys think that every programmer is the same. You think taht if CCP employs 10 000 programmers that they would all be able to work on the same and single task and make it proportionately better / completed faster. NO !!
No, what people like you don't seem to realize is that ccp has a limited budget. Every programmer working on project x takes money (read: dev time) away from another project. They allocate portions of their budget to different areas at the same time. so, if one section has x amount of money, they have y amount of time to fix/produce/whatever.
What people like me are trying to get across to people like you is that there are major problems in the game that go unfixed FOR YEARS. Not niggling details, major ones. Yet, CCP keeps allocating time to introducing ever more content that further borks up some parts of the game as it enhances/expands other parts of the game. It's called misallocation, and it's not getting better.
If you introduce missions for the mission runners, please support the mission runners when they try to access the new content. If you want epic fleet battles, please design a load-balancing system that can support said fleet battles.
Last I checked, we weren't all clamoring for WoW like content rewrites of game dungeons at the expense of old issues going unresolved. Yet, some of us have been/are clamoring for CCP resources to be properly allocated to fix existing faults.
Yes, that means a bunch of the new 200 positions avertised by CCP should go to the correct code development areas, and not to new stuff. If CCP is suddenly flush with cash, I certainly hope they are hiring people who CAN fix the problems.

Edited by: Rakaim on 18/08/2007 04:22:07 Psh, CCP doesn't have a budget - they're getting a MINIMAL amount of 130$ a year from every subscriber times... how many subscribers? Wait, CCP is building new offices in other countries? What? Lol. (Don't bother arguing becuase I don't care, and I'm mostly kidding)
As far as staying on topic goes, This is Jake. What am I saying? It is so much better than Jake. It's the cat's pajamas, the bee's knees, the berries. It is so good it should win an award. Oh wait, it did. Seriously though, this feature is pretty much the best thing since sliced bread. It has the greatest seizure-inducing graphics that I've ever seen. Bravo, CCP, bravo indeed!

Its only been said once so far, in this thread anyways, but the ambulation project will also allow combat as well, not right away, but at a later time. More ways for you to shoot your red blinkies and actually be able to say head shot over TS "Return with your shield, or on it." |

Crap, I didn't even notice a necro. Strange, normally I'm good at spotting them "Return with your shield, or on it." |

Also, it would've been best if when this thread was started months ago, it said in the body "...War was beginning."

Think of the lag, man!
It took most of DOA Volleyball's code to achieve this. What of Eve?!?!?!?!?!
I used to get It. Then It changed. Now I don't even know what It is.

Originally by: Jovius Marginus Finally something to do while you sit frozen at a frozen POS in 0.0.
I was worried CCP might actually spend money on fixing lag or POS battle mechanics.
Now we've got something even better. A space version of the Sims. Thx for being intune with what your customers want CCP keep up the good work.
The worst part about it all is, if you actually read the forums, and posts about this, it ACTUALLY IS what people want. Which ya, is kinda depressing.

Edit: Meh, necro
Even more depressing that people seem to think everyone at CCP works on the same thing, and that they only do one thing at a time. No matter how oftem these posts happen, or how long it is around, it is still sad.

Old topic is old.
It should retire and go molest nurses with its walking stick. - The game is not the problem. The problem is that you are not adapting to the game.
