why dont ccp launch a "pool" whith the intent of evaluating the player feedback ABOUT EACH MODIFICATION DONE and get a "credible" feedback, filtering the "pool" by IP adress to prevent "result manipulation" by players whith more than 1 account?

since we "pay to play", we shoul have an opinion...
or should we just give up playing (and paying) when we simply dont like the game anymore?
btw, read something about plex prices, that problem should be fixed if ccp just regulate the prices selling them also in npc stations, shouldnt it??.....

The longer it's out, the more I feel that this winter expansion is to eve what that new wow expansion is to wow. That is, virtually no new or well thought out content, and just a bunch of rehashed crap for the purpose of looking shiny.

im a mission runner by heart and havent been playing this wonderfull game very long but i sometimes need my drones to take out those nasty frigs scrambling me but now after the update youre drones get targeted WAY TOO FAST its not even funny i feel sorry for anyone who uses them as main dps normally i kept hobs and hammerheads in my bay but now only hobs so i can carry more if i lose em please ccp do something about this quick because in my eyes drones became pretty useless

playing on pc

I love the new lock graphics but when you are ingaging a number of targets that are grouped together its some times hard to see how long is left to lock diff ships (e.g Carrier locking battleships and frigs, I may have locked the BS and I'm wondering if I have time to pop one or two before the frigs lock). As a solution I thought maybe adding the lock "cycle" timers to the top right of the screen... So you ctrl-click at target and where the target stats appier once the target is locked at the top of the screen you get the locking countdown cycle.

I also like the new location aware music, very atmospheric but sometimes I jsut want to bang my own tunes on, like when I'm mining or grinding anoms but now you have gotten rid of the jukebox I have had to go back to turning the music and resorting to an external media player... It seems like a step backwards in many respects.

Apart from these 2 lil niggles, (without going into the heave missle nerf) I'm liking the revamp, bringing things inline with Dust.

thx CCP you guys just made it impossible for me to play missions.

couse of the targed switching feature i'm losing my drones so fast that the missions are becomming losses to my wallet.

i hope this feature will be changed soon so i can play missions again to earn money and not lose money....


greetings ikkeisgek

Because those noob developers never flown Sacrilege ? Maybe the 190 dps for those ship is too mutch :D

Another thing you clearly need to bear in mind is that missiles are not intended as guaranteed damage weapons. Explosion Velocity is the equivalent of tracking and falloff with guns. You think those hit constantly for full damage against orbiting rats? Hell no! (Which, admittedly, is the bigger part of why I hate guns - the ability to miss entirely.) Yes, your missile will hit if the target is in range. Will it always do full damage? No. Same with guns.

If your target is stopped or has poor transversal velocity relative to you, you track better. Any motion reduces chance to hit/damage dealt on hit. If it's within optimal range, you don't have falloff miss chance, but if it isn't, your chance to hit and damage on hit go down. If your weapon firing cross-section is bigger than your target's signature, damage may be reduced (Explosion Radius stat on missiles).

Only weapon in this game which doesn't care about signature or velocity is the smartbomb. And I really don't suggest using that in highsec.

On the whole, this is a wonderful patch. Was shooting a tower yesterday, and the ominous music was rather interesting. And folk sounded rather impressed by the explosion.

Also! zOMG drone hauler spawns and officer mods. If ever I get to Iceland, and the folk responsible are still around, must buy them all a round.

But I do have to point out a few minor annoyances:

First. The locked target HP bars still seem too narrow when using 90% display scaling, making them more difficult to read than the old bars.

Second. The flicker effect when a modules active on a locked target is about to cycle down is probably very useful for certain applications, but gets very distracting otherwise. Please give us an option to turn that flicker off. The human eye is naturally drawn to movement, so any unnecessary flickering is an unwelcome distraction.

Third. The weapons timer sound notifications are also useful for certain applications, but also get annoying. It's a loud beeping sound that repeats every few seconds in an engagement. I really do not want to hear it at all, much less that often. Please give us the option of turning these sound notifications off without having to disable all of the UI sounds.

Fourth. I understand why the safety button setting resets after log-off. But please give us the option of having it persist across log-in sessions. I'm sure some silly folk will get themselves Concorded because of it, but that should be our choice.

Fifth. Please consider issuing a dev blog providing instructions on (1) using the new target tracking camera, (2) moving and changing the size of the on-screen combat log, and (3) accessing the soundcloud of old EVE music.

This, at least, has a fairly simple fix: bounties not being paid out if Concord assisted in the kill. Abuseable in its own right, but not as bad as getting paid by someone else to suicide gank.

Wouldn't allowing youtube streams through the EVE browser use server resources (since the browser is implemented inside the game rather than outside of it)?

The calculator could use some love. It's not nearly as robust as the Windows calculator, but since I can't play fullscreen and have the WinCalc up, I use the EVE Calc instead. Of course, what would be even more awesome would be integrating OO.org Calc into the game... = P

Same with the notepad; fullscreen and WinNotepad does not work, so use in game option...
