Dr Fighter	Posted - 2008.12.09 11:24:00 - [1] "Every year the players ask "CCP, what are you giving us for Christmas?" This year we are giving you the gift of the Christmas Performance Patch which contains a massive boost to both large fleet and small gang engagements as well as much improved game play for every player in New Eden. Focusing on improvements to the Need for Speed initative, this very special patch streamlines performance to significantly increase frames per second (fps) and makes improvements to the patching process to allow for a smoother patching performance in general. Players who participated in the testing on Singularity have noticed much improved playability and performance. In one case, during a fleet fight test, 600 additional drones and fighters were added to the grid. In the vast majority of cases the players were not aware they had been added until they were told. The deployment date for Quantum Rise 1.0.3 will be 10th December 2008 and Tranquility will be offline between 11.00 to 15.40 GMT." This gift is like a magazine you subscribe to saying, "and this year for a special treat in december, we are going to send you the 12th copy of the year, for the normal price!" whoopy. boned again on christmas.

And you're like the 8 year old spoiled brat who gets a toytruck for xmas and cries "it's not a tonka truuuck!!!" My opinions represent the opinions of my corporation completely. I'm the CEO damnit.

And you're like the 8 year old spoiled brat who gets a toytruck for xmas and cries "it's not a tonka truuuck!!!" no im a 5 year old player that was taken care of by ccp with cool stuff for everyone. I conclude: CCP are no longer cool.

I approve of this metaphor.
Kaiser Sorano	Posted - 2008.12.09 11:35:00 - [6] Originally by: Dr Fighter In the vast majority of cases the players were not aware they had been added until they were told. This is why you shouldn't release speed fixes as a feature, CCP
Zeba Minmatar Pator Tech School	Posted - 2008.12.09 11:38:00 - [7] Hey look! Its a 'What no corpse launchers for christmas yet again?!' stealth whine thread. Originally by: Eve News Item Players who participated in the testing on Singularity have noticed much improved playability and performance. In one case, during a fleet fight test, 600 additional drones and fighters were added to the grid. In the vast majority of cases the players were not aware they had been added until they were told. Tbhqfh I think this bit here if it truely makes fleet fights playable and enjoyable then alot of players really are going to feel like kids on christmas day after this patch. inappropriate signature. ~WeatherMan

This is why you shouldn't release speed fixes as a feature, CCP ooo good piont sir! so to sum up, the gift we pay for (they arnt free expansions, we pay and play because we KNOW there will be more expansions) we wont even notice. Just give us all a free case of spiced wine and some exotic dancers if you cant be arsed thinking up somthing cool this year, or at least a bunch of flowers form the closest service station to pretend like you care.

I conclude: CCP are no longer cool. So you're annyoed that this doesn't affect your gamestyle? Jesus, mary and josefina you people are happy about NOTHING. And we pay LESS for expansions. Other games have same monthly costs(semantics aside). Other games charge for expansions. EVE doesnt, EVE=free expansions. My opinions represent the opinions of my corporation completely. I'm the CEO damnit.
Le Skunk Low Sec Liberators Chubby Chuppers Chubba Chups	Posted - 2008.12.09 11:40:00 - [10] Originally by: Dr Fighter " This gift is like a magazine you subscribe to saying, "and this year for a special treat in december, we are going to send you the 12th copy of the year, for the normal price!" Lol! Thats pretty funny. SKUNK Anyway what did you expect from a company who gives you a snowball launcher for Christmas THEN MELTS THE BLOODY SNOWBALLS a little while later. Originally by: CCP Navigator People who think I am joking or talking big are going to understand very quickly that there will be order
Dr Fighter	Posted - 2008.12.09 11:43:00 - [11] in reality: CCP sit in front of a open log fire, supping brandy and stuffing their faces with the finest meats of the season. While the poor players, are in the cold (of space) out side, looking in through the iced up snowdrift layden windows, where we catch the eye of a dev who notices us peering through drops his turkey leg and grabs a keyboard to look busy and passify us with claims of performance boosts in his snug, festive log cabin laughing with fellow devs having the occasional money fight when not too busy relaxing and wathcing his ass grow... / festive rant
Sheriff Jones Amarr Clinical Experiment	Posted - 2008.12.09 11:43:00 - [12] Edited by: Sheriff Jones on 09/12/2008 11:45:18 NOT to mention, when asked for more "fluff" from CCP, many of the players say "go back to wow", or some such. Now suddenly, CCP should give you fluff because it's chrimbo? Go to your troll hideout, decide what you want and come back with something non-contradictonary. And in REALITY; There are people at CCP who go these on CHRISTMAS DAY to make sure your game is up and running, to clean stuff up so it doens't clog etc. But do you thank? No. Me me me me! Wah! My opinions represent the opinions of my corporation completely. I'm the CEO damnit.

Now suddenly, CCP should give you fluff because it's chrimbo? I would rather they'd announced that they weren't giving us anything for christmas as they were too busy working on speed improvements, as opposed to such a damp squib of an announcement.

And you're like the 8 year old spoiled brat who gets a toytruck for xmas and cries "it's not a tonka truuuck!!!" He's got a point though - a "Christmas Performance Patch" is hardly a gift, it's something we would've got anyway, like giving a kid a school uniform as a present.
J'Mkarr Soban Amarr Proxenetae Invicti	Posted - 2008.12.09 11:53:00 - [16] You do realise that in five years there have only been two gifts? The snowball launchers/snowballs, and the Apoths. That hardly sets a precedent. -- These are my personal views and in no way represent the views of Proxenetae Invicti, which maintains a neutral stance stemming from the strong ethics demanded of its work.
Sheriff Jones Amarr Clinical Experiment	Posted - 2008.12.09 11:53:00 - [17] Edited by: Sheriff Jones on 09/12/2008 11:56:54 I think you people are reading WAAAAAAY too much into the word "gift" The other poster on one of my threads was right, you people are NEVER happy. Might as well forget about it. But just because i can; EVE is not WoW! EVE players make EVE! If you want gifts, give them yourself! It's funny how all those arguments get thrown out the window when it's YOUR problem. My opinions represent the opinions of my corporation completely. I'm the CEO damnit.

Karille Gallente Sharks With Frickin' Laser Beams	Posted - 2008.12.09 11:54:00 - [19] CCP is working with a very tight deadline for T3 and wormholes that most people expect them to fail on and you want them to go ahead and waste time coding, testing, and balancing a silly fluff gift that you can play with for 3 hours? Come on, let them do their job.
Dr Fighter	Posted - 2008.12.09 11:55:00 - [20] Im an old player, therefore grumpy. all these yound whippersnappers joining the game, and getting deals here, more sp there, even better attribute pionts, what can i say, it grinds my gears! back in the day we got cool gifts for christmas, somtimes we even got ramdon cool gifts as part of huge events. the old guys got you where you are ccp!

DrefsabZN Caldari Butterfly Effect Corp.	Posted - 2008.12.09 12:07:00 - [24] Speed patch should be rolled out regardless of xmas or not so its not a gift its what we are paying you to do. Spawn more snowball launchers! now those were fun and for god sake don't melt the balls this time.
Sheriff Jones Amarr Clinical Experiment	Posted - 2008.12.09 12:12:00 - [25] Edited by: Sheriff Jones on 09/12/2008 12:12:46 Originally by: DrefsabZN Speed patch should be rolled out regardless of xmas or not so its not a gift its what we are paying you to do. Spawn more snowball launchers! now those were fun and for god sake don't melt the balls this time. No no no... Your paying to play, that's it, just to play. Not for the work, you have NO rights, they don't have to do ANYTHING you say just because you pay to play their game. Infact, you don't even pay to play, you pay for the potential right to get to the servers. I hope to gods some day people get how MMOs work... My opinions represent the opinions of my corporation completely. I'm the CEO damnit.

But everyone seems to scream for in-game stuff that I forget the fun flavourful stuff like that. However, that's still three entirely unrelated things in 5 years. I just wish people would shut up. In fact, I only liked the Apoth because it worked with a story in game - the snowball launchers were fun, but out of place.

In fact, couldn't you take the **** out of that in the shop? And silly people always asking for gifts. In saying all this, I do like the concept of rewards on individual characters. I'm the oldest character on the server, but I've got nothing to show for it (apart from my starting corp being CONCORD of course). -- These are my personal views and in no way represent the views of Proxenetae Invicti, which maintains a neutral stance stemming from the strong ethics demanded of its work.

Oh well in that case I demand I get a free Sansha Titan for Xmas or else me and my 42 accounts will quit and bankrupt CCP!

Thats the point though thats is what I pay them for, I pay them not just to run the server's but to maintain and improve them and the game code. That's why I own as many accounts as I do because CCP do good work. I've played many MMO's (and thank god WoW was not one of them), where you pay just for the server cost's and they charge you for expansions, and while sure the expansions are good I decided id didn't want to pay for all of that so left those and came back to eve. So in that view I do feel that my subscription fee's should be used in part to improve the game :)
End Yourself Core Domination Big Bang Quantum	Posted - 2008.12.09 12:26:00 - [30] Forgot to grow up while growing old?!? Every second CCP wastes on junk like snowball launchers or adding a new model for a ship class that is flown afk 99% of the time anyway(apotheosis) makes me want to puke. --- Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity.
