To be fair, the patch notes and dev blog came out a mere week before the changes we in place, unless you did some serious time with the test server(I know I did) you were unaware of these until then.

If you don't follow the rules, neither will I.

Sardek Nardan - The difference is blindingly obvious. Devblogs need to be sought out outside the game client and followed. Eve-mails are bought to your attention within the game client.

I now realise a fundamental error in making my posting here: The only pilots that will look at this thread are those that already follow Devblogs and forums. I have self-selected for the those that by definition are not the targets of my concerns, even though some of these folks have been helpful! Doh!

I also realise now that those who do not use the devblogs and forums are second class citizens that need to be treated with contempt and put in their place. I can only apologise for interrupting your Lordships. (sarcastic humour attempt)

Thanks to those that actually took the time to provide new information and assistance! Greatly appreciated.


PS Any posts along the lines of "Why didn't you look at devblogs? Why don't you just suck it up? Your playing the game wrong!" or similar are unlikely to add anything useful to this thread, but thanks for taking the time to look.


And next month someone come to say "come on ccp I do not read those damn spam e-mail you send me! I want a pop up in my game!". Then a month later someone will come and complain they deactivated the pop-up etc... As it has been said I think devblogs and patch notes appear in the login screen.

Thank you for your comments, I think I have learned a fair bit and have a better understanding of other pilots views on the subject of updates and patches now.

I suppose it is a lot to expect of CCP to be "all things to everyone" and whilst I do think things could be done better I have certainly changed my opinion on a few things:

1) CCP probably aren't picking on highsec pilots, the process of creative destruction gets everyone in the end. Just because I don't see it it doesn't mean it doesn't happen! I shall certainly be better placed to talk to fellow grumblers now.

2) All pilots should be encouraged to peruse the Devblogs and warned that not doing so may result in unpleasant surprises!

3) Don't get too attached to the way things are - they'll probably change soon enough.

4) What have I missed?

Titan and supercap pilots weren't reimbursed in any way when their ships were changed, and that was a total nerf as opposed to a buff/role adjustment like the mining barges.

Enjoying the rain today? ;)

Hm, yup you are right, i completly forgot about that dev blog, I was thinking about the patch notes that directly ststed what the changes were, but that blog states the ships will get an Ore Hold, which render cargo rigs useless. +1 for you.

If you don't follow the rules, neither will I.
