Stizum is actually right.... it WAS due in may... but hell.. when have ccp EVER paid attention to previous deadlines.... the game itself was pushed back something like 8 months from their first date anyways.... but hey... arent we all glad ccp stills runs this instead of an actually competent company?

Stuzum is right, it was due may, apparently it will not come before Q3, so we have to wait 2 weeks for another castor patch.
As you all allredy have seen, that patch will mostly center around pp related stuff 
I would rather have a big shiva patch, but we will have to wait allthough im getting very impatient
Hopefully they will have sorted many of the smaller glitches ingame by that time.
1: bugged gang. 2: local chat bug. 3: clientside lag.
fell free to put things you want to have fixed in here
Anyway CCP keep going, your still the best game out there in my opinion. So Say I. Einheriar Ulrich of the Bloodline of Einheriar.

Then go play your Unreal.... Eve is nothing like Unreal, I agree with the above post. CCP is doing a fine job. If you can program, I would like to see you run Eve better... -----------------

Have you ever in any field of development come across anything finishing on time or at the projected cost? It's all best case scenarios and wishful thinking to string investors along.

Well, they have stated the new time of release due to more being included in Shiva than originally intended.
CCP is keeping us informed which is a good thing, much more important than getting the package before it is ready

CCP will have Shiva out when its ready..... they are just lucky they work on a game for a living. I think ppl like myself are more tolerent on delayed schedules of releases.
In my job if one of my projects is late I'm better off spending time looking for a new job since I will need one.

It comes down the the question of do you want it now and buggy/unbalanced, or later and ready? -------------------------------- CCP can patch away bugs, but they can't patch away stupidity. |

Shouldn't that be "now buggy/unbalanced, or later buggy/unbalanced?" -just kidding-
I prefer later and ready.

Well, there are different degrees of buggy/unbalanced. For example, I've had to deal with annoying bugs, like in E&B beta where chat kept spamming, to really ****ed off bugs like in Anarchy Online where my damn Slayerdriod would hump the table and not attack. if anything, I would prefer that they fix the big things right away and get them out early.
This also reminds me of playing Planetside, where one day the devs found out why the Vanu were sucking because one of their guns actually did no damage at all! -------------------------------- CCP can patch away bugs, but they can't patch away stupidity. |

WTF, read all the stickies in the forums.
I'm so unlucky that if I was to fall into a barrel of nipples I'd come out sucking my thumb. |

Ok... so I for one am really happy they delayed the release towards the end. Some of the stuff in beta wouldn't have worked in retail (anyone remember those !&!#@ docking rings?).
I've been pretty impressed with the direction CCP's taken things... the game does keep getting better and better. |

For ---- sake:
Updated release plan != a lie
How old are you people? Have you ever held a real job? Never mind, I suspect I already know the answer. As a service to mankind I offer the old but oh so appropriate cluepon.

first CCP will NERF combat as it is, so well be very very ****ed. and then like dogs once they release a good patch well all join and ask our friends to come also. then they repeat it till they get loads of players --- "this song reminds me of the girl i met on a schooltrip, she was really nice, and she really liked me. I forgot to ask her her phone number" - Nelix trist OMG im a pretzel!!! |

When was the last time a game's company *actually* kept to their schedule? As long as its useable when it comes out, its all cool.  ..:: Electro-shock therapy ::..

No game company has ever kept to schedule.
To give the best example of a life time. Team Fortress 2, has been delayed approximately a year, maybe more, lol.
When people moan about the FREE content update that was promised in may but unfortunately not ready, it makes you wonder about the thought process of said people.
Single track comes to mind, it seems to me that they believe that CCP spends ALL their time with Shiva and therefore it should've been out yesterday when its so clearly not the case.
To help you track deficient people, running a game like this consists of several concurrent and never ending projects. They are (but aren't limited to)
Storyline Content Balance Event Hardware (often refered to as technology enhancement) Bug Hunting Patching Community Management
Now a lot of games can't even handle all of these, EnB for example had almost no form of community management, it was so non-existant that the official forums were run by someone else. Anarchy Online, well .... you didn't have to look far for a bug or dozen, everythign from people trapped in tables to guns that waste entire clips of ammo without actually firing and as for content, well, we need only look at UO which requires you to spend another ú30 to install another gig of stuff so that your sword-carrying,plate-mail wearing, magic-hurling character could look exaclty the same as the previous content purchase but now you could go somewhere else to get PK'd by someone and his buddies camping at the only gate into this new land.
CCP has managed to do all of these and is doing it well, sure it seems a bad job to those of you don't understand but they are doing a tremendous job of it, heck its the first time I've EVER seen someone with the role of Community Manager actually knowing where the community exists.
So next time, before you complain about how CCP is not keeping their promises remember.
It's not so bad, you could have EA running this game : D --------------------------------------------- I'm the root of all thats evil yeah, but you can call me Cooki3
Some people couldn't get a clue, if they were in the middle of a clue field, in the middle of clue mating season, doused in clue pheromones, in a clue suit, shouting "Clooo! Clooo!" whilst beating themselves with a clue stick |
