Not whinning just some common sense observations.
Dear Dev team,
I posted my opinion about the suggestion to use pingplotter, Would be nice if someone from CCP technical or Dev team could reply to it :)
http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=508216&page=2#41
The article "anxiety is the dizziness of freedom - and lag?" was sorry to say quite disappointing again, in context what I understood is "We are doing something but that something is nothing you lads should know."
Granted it is hard to work on any decent project that requires a vast knowleadge of hardware technical knowhow and coding. Thou maybe CCP should take a different approach to gathering and releasing information, granting the DEV CHAT is a nice idea thou wonder how the crowd control will be like, imagine 398people asking questions all at the same time. Plus there are people with valid ideas and suggestions maybe not in the same timezone or that just cant get into the channel.
As a EVE subscriber, it is often I am sad at the proformance of the game or the way it is developing into. Granted there may be various and numberous logical reasons for any number of issues.
However lets take some small issues that are on alot of peoples minds, such as the warfare modules. Why was such a module invented/implemented if supposingly the gameserver/cluster couldnt handle a massive fleet battle in the first place?
What is being done to improve this matter? Will we ever see huge fleet battles of 1000players and up? if not what are the alternatives?
Inertia inconsistency, why has there always been a great inconsistency in ships turning in eve noticed by vast number of players? eg. it can take 1 sec to turn 180o sometimes 5secs to just turn 90o.
Overview lag spikes, the dreadful overview lag spikes... numberous ways have been tried numberous ways have failed.
New Gang/Fleet module.... ok it is nice thou it does clutter up the overview yet again, and opening more chat channels doesnt that just use even more resources on the server end?
I think the problem is not so much that the EVE community is a bunch of ungrateful SOBs but communication does play a great part, the EVE player base community is after all paying monthly subscriptions for a service of playing the game, granted this does not imply service has to great or prefect, but it does thou then raise a moral question of are we being treated like kids and ripped off or we will be treated like adults and being informed _properly and in "detail"_ of the problems and what is being done about them.
All said and done, lets forget about any past internal problems and rumours or scandals, how about CCP starts treating us like adults and give us some concrete semidetails which actually means something so the genral populus of eve can once again smile and be proud to fly the universe.
best regards.
PS. It is customary to reply to any written enquiry regarding business, job or game related subjects, this reflects how the company functions in gerenal regardless of country, nationality or race. Whatever those three things are.
