Hey Bob, why haven't you applied at CCP to teach them how to make program?




They couldn't afford me. Cool

Besides, based on what I see, they have stretched themselves too thin, and are unable to spend the man-hours to do things right the first time, or at least the second. Why would I want to put myself into that type of disaster waiting to happen? Lol

Sad part is, I like EVE, it has so many possibilities, but CCP seems enchanted with shiny stuff, and not the least bit interested in gameplay. What other game company would sell "Lag" as a feature....


I gotta be honest, you really don't seem to like eve, considering how much you strive to push people to unsub, and how much you **** all over CCP, even when they do things right.

With as many ghosts as I saw in Jita earlier, I couldn't help but wonder about the lack of forum posts referencing the need for:

Pacman
Ghost Busters
An Old Priest and a Young Priest.

Where have I insisted anyone unsub?
And I call my phone/cable company and tell them when they are acting dumb and providing poor service, why wouldn't I for any service I pay for?

If you want to eat **** and call it steak, that is certainly your right.
But if you think being all sunshine and roses is going to make a business work toward fixing issues, that have been going on for a long time....your out of touch with reality.

And read that post about working condtions within CCP, it pretty much sums up the problems.

why do they deserve praise for fixing something they broke? as far as i can tell NOTHING good has come from the last 2 major patches. and all CCP seams to want to do about it is tell the player to live with it. i see EVE going down hill at a nice clip already with making the video requirment so that some people were just left with out any way to play at all. no need for ccp to put a jet on to accelerate how fast eve burns and dies.

There were two issues, one was causing load and the other ghost entries. We fixed the load issue but are still working on the ghost issue.

That makes sense, but the patch notes seemed to imply both were fixed.

Am I the only one that likes having imperfect Intel? People have actually been out in space with other people in local for a change, usually they dock up or find an empty system.

Last night I saw more people running missions, belt ratting and mining than ever before in my life. I had always assumed these people were just permanently AFK features of certain systems, turns out they normally just cloak up or dock whenever anyone else is in local.

Seeing them out in space has been nice for a change, and it makes a nice change from the usual monotony of having to wait until they move systems and grab them on gate.


I'm throughly enjoying this, and I would've loved if it was made static. Let everyone that ever logs off in a local show up until d/t. Perhaps then people will learn to live without local too..

I'm keeping track of all the crybabies in this thread and I will remind you of your posts if I ever see you speak in a "nerf local" thread. Cause right now local is useless for intel...and awesome.

Well, it's still not fixed after DT.

It doesn't happen to every channel: I see my ghost alt in local and a busy channel, but not in corp chat.

And to Jones Bones, this could be a nice feature for local. But when it happens to corp chat and other social channels, it's very annoying.

An update was just made in the information thread about this issue.

Please keep an eye on that thread for further updates.

not enough load to trigger massive bugs like that or what?



That's precisely it. The problem didn't manifest itself until thousands were online at the same time. Our engineers were at work way into the late evening working furiously to fix the problem, basically keeping the server alive with some sort of hero magic, while working on a permanent fix. The fix was then deployed late last night and allowed the server to be taken off life support.

I swooned a little when I met them at work today.


well its progress making new expansions, they cant expect everything to be flawless and perfect it will never be like that until you give it some love, and people out there complain on the smallest simple things in life. You guys are doing what you can to make the show keep going and fix what ever issues can be dealt with swiftly the larger ones may take time but will be dealt with.

you guys are doing an awsome job in giving the game some new life, i personally hate that people complain over basicly something that can be fixed. Now atleast they can go out and breathe some fresh air and smell the flowers instead of sitting infront of the pc the whole time being ghostly white colored :)

Congrats on the speedy fix of the chat function, along with the speedy lock on the thread examining your management methods.

Paradise is like where you are right now, only much, much better.
