Personally, I think we're getting the shaft if CCP's new stance on POSes from the minutes is exactly how Unifex put it.

I would go as far as to say that CCP is telling the CSM to go suck a **** on that issue, and I'm fairly certain that isn't what the players want.

I would like to know Two Steps feelings on CCP's handling of the POS update after the winter summit, and how he intends to leverage OUR votes to make CCP realize that this is a problem for everyone and they need to fix it.

Also as my duly elected representative, I would like him to hold me as I get F'ed in the A by CCP.

Agreed, POS mechanics are one of the sole concerns of WH space right now. I can't honestly think ofa bigger issue the WH CSM candidates are going to have as their 'platform'.

can we expect to be able to hotdrop dust mercenaries in wh's against other player planets and also use dust mercs against sleepers in some way.

and if so, what would be the rewards for dust mercenaries and eve players for these kinds of pve content.

i know this is somewhat a possibillity due to the fact that there will be PVE content in Dust, and it (NDA not withstanding) it doesn't sound hard to plan for sleeper PVE activity down the road.

I'd like to know how much Two Step is working with the other CSM members to push an overhaul of POSes.
They affect all aspects of EvE, so everybody needs to be on board. Right now the W-Space constituency seems to be the most vocal, but this issue is not confined to us and shouldn't suffer on account of CCP assuming it is.

1) Is there a future of w-space outside of ship re-balancing and POS reworks? What is your vision of it, 2Step? EvE is a sandbox and it is up to leaders and players to create content, however is w-space reducing this concept of gameplay?

2) Asides from simply buffing w-space isk income, which is potentially economy damaging, what are the best ways to bring more people into w-space?

3) Twostep, what is going on with class 4 wormholes? Currently they suck ass! How do you make C4s relevant? In aspects of bearing and as an environment to produce PVP.

Hope you guys can work some juicy discussion/debate!

First off, nice work Bronya.

Q for Two Step: What is CCP's plan for storyline content and progression of wormhole space?

While CCP Dropbear was still at CCP, he was in the middle of building an RP base of content with the Arek'jaalan project to set the infrastructure to enable the injection of actual tangible in-game new Wspace PVE and sleeper storyline content.

Has this all just been forgotten about? After 4 years, does CCP still not have any intention to develop/progress wormhole space content?

0) what do you think the pos revamp should be, or what will be possible for ccp?

1) T3 rebalance, anytime soon? and wich direction will ccp go or should they go?

2) how can we get more people in wormholes?

3)do you think we should get a dust514 link in wormholes, are some planned already?

4)do we need more content in wormholes in general(pve, farms to burn,...)?

5) do we need changes in the environment of w-space(static changes, more wormholes, different effects,.. )

6) now that you won't be in next csm what can you advise your succecsor?

7) w-space storyline will this ever happen?

8) do you have a idea for one of those expansion-themes ccp is talking about?

No local in null sec would fix everything!

Hola Cool

Few things that im not sure have been said already:

Has there been any commincation from yourself & between other CSM/Dev's as to the thread that was posted in the JIta Park Corner? And do you know if anybody from CCP will make a statement soon and in what shape will that come?

In Light of recent events has this changed your mind into seeking a 2nd term, or will the pre-election of a WH candidate still go ahead; and how would this be run?

Is there anything in the pipeline for more wormhole content?

With hindsight, do you feel like you were perhaps heavy handed, sensationalist and misleading with your forum thread (particularly with regard to the choice of Dev quotes used from the minutes)?

POS management is a massive issue that affects a great deal of players, but do you think your choice of action (and "don't say I didn't warn you" tweet to Devs) is really going to help the situation reach a positive conclusion?

WOW,

A reason for down the pipe to exist!
Asking real questions.

While telling stories of battles can be fun they are usually filled with half truths , biases, and outright lies.
Perhaps you can really delve in WH space and ask the CEO's of these huge alliances what there goals are. And why do they feel the need to be so large?

Talk to the 00 alliances and ask them about there farming endeavors in WH's. How about their opinion of wormholers jumping into thier sov territories and killing them.

Call out Corporation thieves as reported to you on every podcast

Hope you don't mind, just some suggestions.

OOOO this one stings! I will address this harsh critique !

Bronya, Ceth and I brain storm quite a bit about the contents of each pod cast. Remember we aren’t professionals, not by a long shot. We are just a couple guys who like talking to people about wormholes, in a hopefully entertaining manor.

That being said, I’m not making any excuses about factual values of some of our stories. Some are embellished or exaggerated for the sake of the story. We honestly try to keep them somewhat realistic/factual and don’t go out of our way to make **** up. We are just recalling the battles from our minds, which are flawed to begin with.

We had this type of criticism show up from some of our own corp members. How we should really try and state “just the facts”. The point really is, “just the facts” isn’t entertaining.

I’ll give you an analogy. Ever sit at a bar with some friends and recall past sexual conquests/blunders? When one of your friends is describing a girl/guy who got away and they are embellishing for the sake of the story about how drunk she/he was… do you ever just throw in random true factoids that sure make the story more factual, but exact facts change the cadence/flow of the story. You don't just yell at the brothers Grim and say.. "Honestly how could a girl have a conversation with a wolf dressed as a old woman"?!?!

The facts don’t add much to the story, it’s how its told, and emotions involved, how you can relate to the characters. These are the things that make story telling great in my opinion.

I hope that clears up our stance about the “story time” portion of Down the Pipe.

About your other suggestions. Thank you for them. Having some 0.0 people who just farm WHs might be entertaining, but what questions would we ask them. We know their goals, we know what they do, and in my opinion they don’t bring a lot of entertainment to the table. I guess we could yell at them for a bit, that may be entertaining. Do you have any questions you would like to ask them?

About the corp thieves and calling them out. Sure. But why? Most of the time the proof is rarely substantial and characters whose reps are tarnished, simply sell the character and move on. We would end up just making enemies and providing little service to anyone. I’m really after interviews with people who do it full time. Pros who pick targets, infiltrate, and take people/corps for big money and can repeat the steps with high effectiveness. Not just butt hurt scrubs who do a onetime grab of random T3s that should have honestly been locked up better in the first place.

Please keep the suggestions coming. And keep the criticism coming too! We en’t mad bro… we can take it.

I didn't mean to say get rid of storytime. We all like to hear and talk about battles.
Just not two hours of it.

Maybe have a 15 to 30 minute story on issues in WH space like a magazine spot.
Didn't mean to critize too much.

Thanks!

I dont think we ever exaggerated stories to the point where they are not true, all our stories are real fights and real things that happen and we might get some info wrong from time to time but only due to the fact it all comes from memory. Also I dont think we ever had two hours of stories, we try to balance all our content and sections.

Keep the critic coming our skin is thick see if you can break it :D
