CCP,

Please don't forget about the Legion, it's the redheaded step child of the T3. Give it a look please!

Also, please consider removing local...give us a chance to hunt down the bots!

With the hybrid re-balancing, I look forward to finally trying out that Hyperion I always wanted.

Do try to tell us what you are planning before you put fingers to keyboards, and at least consider what we say. The player base has a lot more man-hours living in this universe than you guys do, and occasionally you've been known to miss the mark slightly. Blink

Are Black Ops seriously not being worked on? Establishments and Contraband thrown out or put on back burners?

Amazing, CCP are actually keeping their promise of iterating on the game. I'm not getting my hopes up they will continue iterating but this is nice, especially the hybrid balancing. I hope it means boosting the damage and not nerfing it or making it even more useless than it already is.

This is a nice post in restoring faith in CCP but I'll wait to see what they do rather than what they say.

Bout damn time. I will fully support CCP if they actually listen to the customer-base and it sounds like Hilmar has finally gotten around to looking at what stretching your resources too thin does.

I for one am extremely pleased with the possibility of having FW fixed, Ship spinning back, new ships and new T2 Modules!

This blog, and those that will follow, will hopefully demonstrate our conviction to transparency. Thats great and all, but what I get from reading the frustrations from older players is not a lack of transparency, but a lack of listening to the desires of the comunity, it's all well and good too hear about transparant things to be rolled out developed from this expert or that expert, but my take is the hardcore Eve community at large would much prefer hearing about how specific issues raised time and time again in the forums are going to actualy be addressed.
Take the Eve community as a partner up front, at the beginning of the process, they are the real experts, not a bunch of WOW turds just waiting for the magical gift of game play to be handed down from the heavens.
That being said, thanks for trying to be human :-)

Also, it is nice to hear that hybrids and assault ships will finally see some love.

Oh Man, I thought something really bad happened!! Big sigh of relief. Glad to see a company that is great keep at it by staying in touch with the community. Keep the talk going , the innovations that are so above the rest of the industry, the uniqueness of EvE that is unmatched, the humor that is in many a dev blog. Can you tell I love this game and one of the reasons is this kind of interaction. Now give me Dust Twisted

>>New EWAR-Drones

Honesty, there really don't need to be "new" ewar drones.. the existing ewar drones simply need to be rebalanced such that they are viable. Presently there is no reason, mathematically speaking, to use anything other than either damage drones or ECM drones. The others are way overgimped.

Nice list, mostly, but I seem to recall other promises and lists that have never been delivered (EAF's anyone?).

Put me in the "believe it when I see it camp."

You guys are, at this point, about as trustworthy as someone in Jita offering to double your isk.

I'll admit that nothing in this list affects me personally. However, I'm heartened to see the renewed focus on things that other people DO care about for FiS, things that I know have caused a lot of other people a lot of irritation. As such, I'm much more willing to wait now for you to turn to things that will affect me a bit more than I previously was.

Wait, these are the eve forums, what am I doing?

CCP have made it quite clear for a long time they consider the nullsec blobwars to be "endgame" content, and looking at how safe/dumbed down highsec is - combined with how CCP want to "force/lure" players into corporations (extra bonus for making big coaltions easily control vast space).. it's quite clear CCP envision EVE to be a nullsec blob game. Everything else is irrelevant.


This seems accurate to me. In any case, based on their history I am not terribly optimistic about any of these promises ever seeing the light of day.

Hilmar,

You sir have balls the size of watermelons. As you see before you in many posts, still, many ***** and complain. There are some who will never be happy. For they will never know true peace or happiness. For it lies somewhere in between what really is and what is expected. Mama always said "you can't always have what you want". But this is a true answering to the calling from the player base.

It takes a true man to stand before those who act as judge, jury, and executioner admitting their mistakes, taking self ownership. Self responsibility is sorely lacking now a days. And yet you stand before the world and proclaim yours for all to see. It is with these published admittances read here today that should echo in the pods of all pilots that Eve-Online is in more than capable hands and a true Icelandic viking is at the helm of this ship. Some will always disagree and stand off proclaiming it is "too little too late". For they are not righteous and do not deserve the second coming of the glorious Eve -so proclaim the Amarr gods.

It was a bumpy ride that brought the Eve universe to this very point. But here we are. Of course it will be the actions that many will require before truly believing. One can not fault them. But if these words be backed by true intentions and actions, Eve shall again shine more brilliant with its dark, deep, cold , harsh colored black soul than any super nova with all its brilliant light can.
