EVE General Discussion

It really should be noted that crimewatch really isn't more simple, more intuitive or less advantageous to the mean people than what it replaced. 95% of the complaints about the previous system were based on a total lack of knowledge about how the mechanics actually worked among the masses of people who don't actually play in highsec. That same ignorance still exists, there are legitimately people who still think you can't shoot neutral reps even though that was never the case to begin with.

Tose same people also have no idea how crimewatch actually did affect combat in highsec, as was evidenced by the sudden outburst of wars by nullsec entities that happened as soon as the changes were made and which ended when they figured out what the ally system actually meant for them. There is a huge discrepancy between perception and reality where those mechanics are concerned.

Called it.

To say CCP Greyscale was a polarizing figure is I think accurate. While I did not always agree with what he has done as a dev, I can say he does listen to feedback.

I have been eagerly awaiting future changes to Eve-O that have his name stamped on them because I knew they would rock the boat and perhaps make a real significant difference. Unfortunately, this will never happen.

Is this a team move yet?

cant wait for official statement

Great news - immediately went short on TENCENT (700). Some investments cannot fail

Greyscale was only ever interested in making it more difficult to live in 0.0, never in making it worthwhile.

There are some devs I was sad to see go. He's not one of them.

That's about right.

What most people fail to understand is that all game designers have ideas. It's not about who has a good vision or not. Most people have a pretty good idea of the game they want to make. I'm sure CCP Greyscale was no different in that regard.

However, what ideas get selected and implemented are ultimately up to the heads of the project. This is likely where the Game Director or Executive Producer comes into play. It's their responsibility to review over the ideas, see what's within budget and something the team(s) can do. He/she is the yes/no man/woman at that point. The person who is ultimately responsible for the game sucking or not sucking.

Pointing fingers at specific devs at that point is stupid. They only have the ideas and the means to make those ideas happen. They are not beating to their own drum. They work on a team and as a team, someone has to say yes or no. Otherwise, the game would be utter chaos and rogue changes without the teams effort would happen all the time.

So, I didn't know CCP Greyscale, but to blame him for anything is rather silly unless he is the Executive Producer or something that makes these high-level decisions. That's because all game developers have both good ideas and bad ideas. The head people are the ones who are supposed to have the skill and experience to filter those ideas into something amazing.

(Quoted partially from Mike Capps, Ex-President of Epic Games on why he is responsible for the failure, not his team)
