So lets see... the CSM said stuff (but can't tell us what it was). CCP Zulu also said stuff (but won't tell us what it was).
You guys are better at Mushroom Management than my employer, and that's saying something!
Also reassurances that the converstaion focused on FiS don't reassure me one bit. Goon's game is totally different from mine, and the majority of the player base.
So I'm sorry but I can't get even a glimmer of excitement about this thread.

You can lead a poster to the internet, but you can't make him r>c>p. The details is what I don't understand.

Do you think that eve should get more funding that the income from subscriptions and PLEX sales? If the money being spent of FiS is equal to the subscriptions, is it OK for CCP to spend money on WiS, Dust, Wod? One of the above CSM members said that there was stuff CSM proposed that cannot be talked about because it was covered by the NDA. So there must have been CSM proposals that have not been in the media coverage, since if it was in the media coverage, it would be public and not under an NDA. All Im saying is you could have given us that information first, before it got locked up under a NDA.
This is a valid concern, and to me, it is starting to sound like "Damn CCP if they do, Damn them if they don't!" situation. While the CSM is supposed, and try, to bring valid concerns to CCP, I think, that by the nature of the game (ie. populist theory) they are kinda failing at it. I definately want FiS worked on more as of late, but, I don't want Incarna to be finished as it is now, I would like to see different CQ, I would like to see in Station Shops, etc. I don't care about the NDA, that is a non-issue, that happens all the time in games. The core problem, is what is going on within CCP (again) and what is being done about it? I would like ideally, would be more... direction from CCP. What I mean is a regular blog post stating "This is what we are working on and is slated for x amount of months, this is the progress we are making on it, etc." The last I heard about Incarna was that the other "CQ was coming out in a few months." This was back in July-ish. And couple of days ago, through a twitter feed, stating *soon (tm)* but nothing more specific than that unfortunately :(
As for FiS/WiS correlation, I have one analogy to make, Star Trek. In the course of Star Trek History (especially TNG), how many actual battles took place vs. how many scenes in the Holodeck, Captain's Quarters, Med Bay, 10 Forward, etc. actually happened? I KNOW YOU ARE GONNA SAY, "BUT THIS ISN'T STAR TREK, THIS IS EVE!" I know, I know, but every space themed Media is different, as an example. SWG is different from SW movies, SWTOR is different from SW Movies AND SWG. Star Trek is different from SW, Freelancer is different from the above, Dark Star One is different, etc. Just because they add Incarna, doesn't mean that you cannot fly in space, though integral as it may be, it's just another feature, and one that it seems to be pushed towards "incomplete" as per Faction Warfare, etc. |

At this point? ANYTHING at all. They arn't able to deliver even their own stuff (like, Incarna CQs) in the timeframe they set themselves.

The CSM just met with CCP's Senor Producer for Eve Online: CCP Zulu.
During that meeting, we discussed the players' concerns like lack of communication from the Devs with the man who has the ability to resolve them. We cannot share the details of the meeting about poor communication itself because it is heavily NDA'd so we're not allowed to communicate it, but ways to resolve your concerns have been discussed and a follow-up meeting is planned. We actually wont be able to communicate anything about that either of course.
Stay tuned...to Static FM!

I see. You would like "more" and don't have a specific proposal. In that case, I expect you will indeed get what you have asked for. Congratulations.

Then who's ideas are relevant? You're on the CSM negotiating with CCP, right? We're not allowed to know, right? I hope somebody's ideas are relevant, but I guess they're staying way the f**k away from this empty thread. |

It seems likely that they aren't at that stage yet. A cursory review of CCP's financial statements shows that the vast majority of EVE's income is going towards developing things that are not spaceships. There is a lot of "extra" money being thrown into that stuff ALSO -- obviously without Dust, Carbon, WoD, and Incarna CCP wouldn't have millions and millions of dollars in lines of credit or venture capital to be spending on new code. But a huge portion of the "money from EVE subs" is paying for developing stuff that is not "EVE" as we know it.
The CSM is probably just at the stage where they get a commitment from CCP that this is going to change for the next several expansions, without any discussion of monetary details. Discussion of numbers of assigned development teams is much more likely, but obviously more vague than what you're looking for. Furthermore, it is likely that the CSM didn't have any such metrics in mind going into their meeting, or they would have talked about them in more detail. :P |

It's better to give us what information that you can than no information at all. I trust you will once again reiterate to CCP that clear honest communications with their customers will always yield better results than evasion, spin or turtling up.

Your efforts are certainly appreciated Trebor. Keep it up. Hopefully they will actually EXPAND FIS with this "EXPANSION," and not merely PATCH it.
By the way, can you express a bit of concern with them about this "REDISTRIBUTION" concept. You guys will only jump out of the frying pan into the fire if they push that nonsense. EXPAND, don't REDISTRIBUTE!!!

the work you guys do is great on the whole. but posting a teaser topic rather than the actual outcome just comes over as a bit lame.
i wanna see results from ccp, not teasers about how 'we have chatted'. been told enough CCP bull over the years there words mean nothing, its there actions that count CCP-áare full of words and no action. We watch what they do and its nothing but false statements and lies.

Lobbying for CCP to focus on FIS is virtually too late. The pertinent time was last July when CCP announced their plans for 2011 which (disgracefully) had nothing to do with FIS at all.
It's disappointing to see it has taken over a year for everyone (and the CSM) to understand the gravest concerns have nothing to do with Barbie or NeX. The issue is and always has been broken core gameplay of the FIS variety. Fussing with emergency summits to tackle reaction to NeX garbage is like rearranging deckchairs on the Titanic. |

And if they DIDN'T say that they had just concluded a meeting with CCP, than everyone would be screaming that the CSM is impotent and sitting around doing nothing.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with saying "We've had a meeting, we're writing it up. Stay tuned" .
As much as I respect the CSM for their efforts and for putting up with all the player hate while they try to drag CCP's focus back onto spaceships, at the same time there is a certain irony about all this populist demand for new content in a game that sells itself as a sandbox, rather than a vehicle for ongoing content deployment.
As I listened to Mittani speak during the recent FunkyBacon radio special, I couldn't help but think - "Really? The real issue that is stagnating nullsec is lack of a reason to fight?"
As a lifelong lowsec enthusiast and Faction Warfare veteran, this was a little odd to hear. CCP hasn't given us any updates in years, and the scene is still alive and active. Militia pilots have never waited for added content to keep them from getting out and into a fight - a tiny bit of RP zest and some lasting friendships are enough to keep us dropping fleets of all variants and sizes on each other week after week - its a shame the jaded nullsec vets don't have the same positive attitude and need mawr carrots to march onward.
Also mentioned was how much of a pain it is to deal with Sovereignty changes, the boring nature of siege warfare (the structure popping kind), etc. Again, all reasons why those of us in militia have always enjoyed the scene - we have all the fun of extremely talented pew pilots in gangs of all sizes, without any of the headaches Mittani spoke of. It is also why most of the miltia vets who "graduate" into an alliance eventually get bored and come back home.
So yes, this is a bit of a promo for the FW scene, but also a call to players to take control themselves - come up with new things to try, pick a fight with someone new, make it senseless and fun - you DONT have to let CCP keep you from having a good time!
Here you can see what we've been up to in FW!! You know, the feature that was "abandoned" and "died" years ago :) |

I made myself pretty clear on my stance on things in my blog a couple days ago. This meeting was something of a surprise and the content of it was enough to convince me that CCP is taking the concerns of the CSM and the players very seriously. Beyond that I cannot say more.
I know it's hard for people to accept but we are pushing very hard for complete and solid information to be passed along to the players as quickly as possible. We are scheduled to have another meeting soon and the CSM will continue to push for MORE SPACESHIPS and less Incarna Catwalks. Seleene's Sandbox - My Blog, where I say stuff. |

So where are them minutes to the summit meeting in july?
You see I actually think its time for us to look at what has been done in the last three months,
No change in hanger functionality, "ship spinning". No change in pricing of nex. No improvement with communication. Ridiculously sparse devblogs combined with dissapearing acts from the devs. No content or improvements to gameplay in expansions. Failure to deliver the racial captains quarters as promised, manipulation of the july minutes creating yet another point of conflict and leading to a failure to release tehm. functionality such as fittings taken away so they can be charged for later. QEN's cancelled.
What was it hilmar said, now is the time we look at what the players do and not what they say? well the players are voting with their subs and logging off. CCP has done nothing since the july summit in any of the areas they promised they would try to improve.
So as for this little meeting yeah Ive heard it all before, mittens is deluded anyway but the rest of the CSM being so suckered by yet another "emergency meeting" is actually a dissapointment. I thought they had more intelligence than to fall for the same bull twice.

The rest, frankly, I agree with. There is no 'red meat' from the CSM yet because the expansions we've got our handprints all over come in Winter. So there's not much utility we can demonstrate to the playerbase yet in terms of raw gameplay changes, because the Incarna stuff was already in development/heavy production before we took office, and is still sort of looming over us like a bad hangover. Sure, there's devblogs about TiDi and commitments from CCP about 'no gold ammo', but codewise all we've got thus far is the removal of the ship change session timer.
If things are implemented as planned at the moment, by the CSM7 election no one sensible will doubt the power or scope of the CSM. However, right now, before the next expansion, it's just pretty words. |

IMO, NDAs are actually quite useful. It is because the CSM operates under a NDA that discussions between the CSM and CCP can be unfiltered. If there were no NDA between CCP and the CSM, meaningful and frank discussion between the two would not be possible.
It is much better to have player representatives tell us that a discussion is taking place, as opposed to not knowing if CCP even realizes what players are complaining about.
Sure, we have no idea if CCP will actually alter their strategies with relation to said discussion, but at least we know that they can't claim ignorance. |
