Quote:
Intrepid pilots of New Eden!

Over the past days and weeks, CCP has been doing extensive and intense introspection and revitalization. The result of this is a refocusing and reprioritization on a scale unheard of within our company.

These are indeed defining times.

Torfi’s most recent dev blog provides some indication of what’s to come. We have decided, to focus our collective efforts on the areas you have asked us to focus on.

We will reveal more over the coming weeks. As certain details are prone to change, we want to make sure we have absolutely concrete information to give you. You’ve often told us that we promise too much and deliver too little, and this time we want to be certain that doesn’t happen. We are listening to you, we have heard you, and plans are already in motion.

Watch this space.

This could potentially mean the rebirth of FiS. Or a return to "HEY LOOK! SHINY!" *CCP launches an unfinished feature that will never be looked at again.*

Not a flame, but perhaps a *soft sigh*?

More words devoid of content.
Another, "Something is coming soon! (But we can't tell you when or what.)"

EDIT: If I sound cynical, well... I am. It's months of CCP "saying" a lot and "showing" us nothing.

if only there was some sort of subforum where CCP might make an official thread about the blog they just wrote, then everyone wouldn't need to post about it in general discussion

oh, what a fool i am, to think we could be capable of having such a subsection

"we are doing something that's something that someone will tell you something about someday. Oh, and it'll be Awesome™"

Deja Vu anyone?

I'm watching. But care to explain why you created a thread about something which already has a related thread?

What the HELL is this?!?
They spend time trying to figure out if they should animate turrets? Who the hell gives a ****?
I play this game with MINIMUM GRAPHICS, NO SOUND, NO EFFECTS because the MAIN problem in this game is LAG.

Also, it is NOT an art competition. Leave the fancy graphics and effects for promotion videos. Give me new content that has a FUNCTION in me flying my ******* SHIP!

That means for you imbisils at CCP, SOMETHING that happens AFTER I UNDOCK... you know when I am FLYING MY SPACE SHIP IN SPACE!


So, here are my demands:
- Give me a feature to contract ALL my belongings to another pilot, for ALL stations. Make it so it has a 72 hour grace period or something if you fear it will be abused, but at least that will help me clean up my hangars before I unsub from this horrible game.

Secret message is "hurr we promised a big dev blog this week but failed to deliver so here is some filler to show we are communicating with you"

"Dev Blog locked for no content."

"We will watch what you do, not what you say."

First, send me your stuff.

Secondly, spellcheck rocks. Use it.

Third, if your computer can't handy any effects on EVE (at all), you might need an upgrade.

Fourth, lay off the caffeine.

And finally... Don't let the door hit you in the *** on the way out.

Many of the pilots that no longer actually login watch the forums. Hoping...

The blog listed more eye candy focus but said they are working on content , the content part wasn't ready to be talked about yet.

Many of us sincerely hope CCP will somehow correct the situation that has developed over the last couple years. After all, we're seperated...but haven't found a new love yet.

The normal logins would probably jump 5k to 8k on the first independent review that said CCP went back to FiS in an expansion or patch. Hopefully the Content that was mentioned is aimed at FiS and not more optimizing of the WiS

We do miss you Eve, unless things stay the same or some game is released to take Eve's place you could bump subscribs back up
quickly with a refocus on FiS. (even with the completed conquest of 0.0 ).

Hope it works out CCP..you won't know till after the release cause noone's going to log in or resub till then but I'm not ignoring your efforts.

In the end ... the riots, the unsubs (what a word), the threadnaughts ...

ccp can say what they like and have done on too many things over the years. what they struggle with is actually delivering on the thinsggs they say and promise.

it really is a question of patch notes or gtfo these days.

OMG when can i get a pic here

They haven't as yet actually delivered on anything so don't get your hopes up just yet. If this indicates a GENUINE sea change within the attitudes of CCP as a whole then I will be happy, time will tell.
