One of the better values here is the "dev posts" roll-up. Does such a thing exist in Reddit? or has someone made a site I could bookmark that conglomerates all known ccp user posts on Reddit ? |

Jeremiah Saken wrote:I strongly disagree with statement that devs posting on other social medias is helping gather new players. Game balancing / new features introducing will be incomprehensible for non-eve players. While the second statement about game balance discussions is true, the first part is a good reason they've been posting on other platforms - outreach. Here, any simple "just being social" chatter is read mostly by players with accounts. You certainly need an account to respond, which would show some level of commitment and interest in the game. If a CCP post on other media helps catch the eye of a non-player, I think it was a good post.
Mr Mieyli wrote:it's possible that we can take the up/down vote system and improve on it. Perhaps even a blended forum where users can choose to auto hide posts with a certain number of dislikes, adjustable by tolerance of different opinions (no of dislikes). If the new system is going to include "dislike" (which was clearly opposed in the development of the current forum) this idea could help. But just adopting Reddit's post sorting options would be fine: "best" by post rating may be the default, but chronological sorting is just a click away. It just takes a little extra work. Another point Reddit has going for it is its focus on words alone: high information density; posts are separated more by indents than avatar graphics and lines. I hope EVE's new forums will make better use of screen real estate and keep graphic fluff to a minimum. |

Mr Mieyli wrote:How would people like a forum very similar to current, with a dislike button added. Posts continue to appear in chronological order, and posts can have X likes/ dislikes which does nothing automatically. Users could set a cutoff at -10 likes, or wherever they like, and the system would hide posts below that threshold. People who enjoy seeing every post can do, and those who prefer to avoid unpopular posts can.
I'd be a bit worried about the alliance mentality and the possibility of waging forum war in that way, but perhaps we can think of a solution? If I hover over a future "like" or "dislike" counter for a given post, the tooltip could show a count of the top 3 alliances rating the post with a "like" or "dislike". Don't try to prevent it, but give readers a method of learning the largest contributors to posts getting liked or disliked.
On a related topic of why reddit is getting more use: Items posted to News Channels or patch notes don't have comment threads, unless the CCP poster makes a special effort to create a thread. Have you ever wanted to comment on a Scope news article? You have to go over to the EVE Fiction section to see if someone is talking about the latest item, or make your own thread. Why is this extra work required? Everything CCP publishes should have a comment section, it's ubiquitous in web design these days.
The 119.2 patch notes have drawn a number of pre-release comments over on reddit, including dev replies that these forums would have benefited from. |

If you haven't yet looked at the CSM meeting minutes , and you're still reading in this thread, you should check the section for Web Services starting on page 7. They do not provide a link in the PDF to the now-decided future-forums software Discourse, but I believe this is it, if you want to get a general idea of its look and feel.
The last line of it should give us hope for future blue posts:CSM Minutes wrote:There was also some discussion regarding where CCP makes posts, and how CCP would like to push more to post things on the official forums. |

KIller Wabbit wrote:Why am I here now? A sheer coincidence. I was looking for any dev posts about the latest deployment issues and stumbled upon this thread. Cheers! I asked in an earlier post if someone has made a link which collects all known developer's posts on Reddit... here we have a handy Dev Posts button.
These forums are rigidly organized by category; the Dev Posts feature lets us find any current discussions regardless of category, BUT only for DEV / GM / CSM. Discourse via the Valkyrie forums modernizes some things with a "latest" button, organizing ALL threads regardless of category, And/Or the latest posts in a given category, with good info, like # of Views and Posts. But it takes some digging around to find out what the developers are posting.
This tags roll-up could work for a similar purpose, IF the poster has tagged their posts. And if other posters re-use tag names appropriately.
A link to Badges lets us find avatars & links to all registered developers. But it doesn't show their most recent post.
I found what I was looking for, but it takes a lot of clicks to get there.

CCP "Team Webster" - please make link #3 into a button, for all the "Dev Post" junkies :)

CCP Darwin on Reddit wrote:This Freak of Nature is driving me insane. Please Fix. by spooky_birthday in Eve [GÇô]ccp_darwin 15 points 9 days ago-á 1) Come to one of the art sessions or round tables at Fanfest. 2) Post here. We have team members keeping an eye on that forum. 3) Post here if it's about something new on our Singularity test server. Honestly, only a couple of us read Reddit frequently and there's no way we can do justice to feedback posted here unless it's truly game-breaking, so I don't recommend posting here if you're trying to get things in front of our team. So much for Reddt as the best place to get developer attention for non game-breaking posts. Feature and Idea suggestions are best placed in the official forums, even if it seems like they never happen. Agree that is a separate issue from "where the fun has gone" posts in this thread. |
