Read the whole thing, pretty interesting stuff.

Up side: it's good to see CCP going back to excellence, FiS and nullsec stuff. Warms my heart to remind me why i love this game.

Down side: you all forgot about the WiS crowd (alone in a CQ? That's all?), hiseccers (you know, that people who stubbornly refuse to play your game your way) and don't even are aware that soloers do exist in your pretty MMO.

Crucible did nothing for any of the above and all we get is "moar Crucible" + "WiS/NEx wall of silence".

Not very engaging.

Fix FW.......that is all.

Yep, this was discussed but isn't something I can comment much on. It's not going to sit as is forever.

Oh, I see thanks. Yeah I misunderstood.

By fw plexing I meant doing the fw occupancy thing. Not "30 day pilot license" plex.

Anyway I know no one on the csm is really into fw but any information you can provide here or in the minutes would be appreciated.


There have been no dev blogs on it since apoc 1.5 as far as I remember. And apoc 1.5 update dev blog openly admitted it wasn't a "fix" and more needed to be done.

Heh, seems like we misunderstood each other.

FW is the poster child for 'Unfinished Features'. It sits right above the Dominion sov system in terms of, "Was supposed to do X and ended up doing something not even worthy of a letter."

Thank you for posting this! Excellent, well done, kudos to you for taking the time an effort to spill some non "NDA Barred" info over the many of us really wanting to know which direction things seem to be heading.

I found one of your quotes to be quite encouraging

"Will CCP stay the course? Based on what we've seen recently I'd say, for at least the next year, yes. What will happen over the next year is anyone's guess but, aside from the 20% layoffs stuff, morale within the office is way up primarily because folks are getting a chance to work on the things they've been banging their heads against the wall about for years. I'd say we're looking at a solid 12 months of full throttle EVE EVE EVE before CCP takes their foot off the gas. That's fine with me for now because when the people working on the game are doing stuff that they WANT to do and actually have the resources and mandate to do it on a level that's never existed before, we'll probably see EVE evolve quite a lot in the next year.

I'm not all starry-eyed and rainbows about it all, but the immediate future looks good and we should all do everything we can to use this opportunity to help get the game where we want it to be."

I hope someone would recognize that this successful business model within CCP will also bear fruit if applied within the game of EVE. For example allowing designers to do stuff that they want makes for happier employees and a better game hopefully, allowing players to do stuff they want will (could, it is my opinion, not an indisputable fact) make players happier and increase the possibility of retention and recruitment of their friends to join and play along with them.

The death of the "Jesus/ Awesome" concept has from all accounts released both creativity and productivity inside of CCP, i do here put forth the idea that the death of the "Do it the way i did or you are doing it wrong/ nullsec must be dominated by huge Alliances that seek ever larger battles that everyone must submit to" concepts will unleash a flood of more players into regions of the game that remain heavily stacked against newer players. Give us a path to take the risks that differ from those now dominated by the players with multiyear advantages.

I readily acknowledge that vets know a lot more about gameplay then i do but i know a lot more about competing against people with a 9 year head start then they do and to improve retention this imbalance needs some love from the CSM and CCP.

Awesome. Information!



Yes please! Making generalised guesses based on nothing more than eve-offline is infuriating.



That's very reassuring to hear.

Really looking forward to seeing the finalised minutes. Hopefully "tone" won't be an issue this time.

it makes me pleased to hear that the UI got it's own block.
Eve UI is the most scary in any games i have ever seen ^^
