EVE General Discussion

Odyssey would have been released as a successful expansion, If you had just left out the one glaring screwup.

You could have held your heads high after dealing with the DDoS downtime so well.

As the miners realised that Ice & WH mining wasn't completely stuffed and they just needed to adapt a little. It would've been generally regarded as a good release. Not great like Apoc or anything, but hardly another Incarna.

CCP Fozzie and Rise working their arses off for many months, making good changes after feedback from us about what was good and what was crap. Those 2 have done an outstanding job creating not only goodwill in the forums, but making EVE a place I want to be.

Falling in love with CCP Seagull as she powered through the clearly visible nerves and presented at fanfest like an absolute champion. Not because shes female but because shes got guts. These thing foster goodwill with me, I don't want to speak for anyone else, but I'm sure I'm not alone on this, and they make me regard EVE as my own, these things make me want to keep sending you money.

CCP Peligro, whom I had considered a bit of a turd before fanfest gained multitudes of personal respect from his presentation at fanfest. CCP Soundwave, on the couch, relaxed, you all did so well.

Yet you blew it all with just one post. Actually several posts from CCP staff, but we know who the main offender is.

It just baffles me.

Someone somewhere was thinking, 'well this is all going a bit too smoothly, the playerbase seems a little too quiet, what can I do to mess this up? boot.ini? Eh been done before. $900 jeans? So passee. How about a company wide email? Um, not quite that fearless. Wait a minute, I think I've got something!'


If you imagine Apoc - Incarna on a scale from 10 - 0, I'd probably rate Odyssey about a 6 or 7. It's better than mediocre I think. I'm probably weighting too heavily the minimal downtime, the fact that POSs didn't kill their owners and silly things like that.

However with one failed decision you've knocked 4 points off and now it sits around a 2. All the good and hard work others have done has been undone with just one decision.

I won't be continuing, I'm not getting over it, if anything I'm getting more worked up about it. I'll check in on the forums and news sites periodically to see if the problem still persists, my guess is that I will activate those PLEXs the same day the problem goes away. I have 20 days left on this set of PLEX. I'll use that time to shiptoast and pull my pixels into one location in a station far far away.


I guess the TL;DR is that I'm not comfortable contributing to one of your employees salary.



I'm going to put this here for the folks that don't make it past the first page.
Please remember to be civil when you post, if you're in any doubt, please reconsider before hitting the post button.

Please do not post links (to anything)

Good.



Bye.

Well done.

Needs a link to your Amazon wish-list.

I wonder how many wars were started over the hatred of just one person...

and nothing of value was lost

OP. I recommend you go outside, smell the fresh air, meet people in person and... live. Get some perspective. You'll then (hopefully) realize just how ridiculously you are acting.

Posting in another CCP DumbB!tch thread...

Know what the best thing is to do with annoying teenage attention whores?

Ignore them.

That which has been seen, cannot be unseen.

A lot of regular posters seem to have vanished off the forums recently, I wonder why.

I was very annoyed by the way some CCP employees had had handled the situation. Incredibly unprofessional and down right pathetic in their attempts to shut down peoples opinions and sweep it all under the rug.

At the end of the day they hired a community rep who is largely not liked by the community. The thousands of likes highlighting people's concerns in the deleted thread to a positive 100 seemed to say it all.

What's more hilarious is that when questioned about previous forum warnings people are getting told "your petition is closed". I mean just look at the other guy who was banned and then immediately suspended due to "suspected participation in RMT".

Anyway I'm not going to quit the game because

1 - It's awesome.
2 - I still love the majority of CCP staff
3 - I like the EVE community

Besides I'd rather get banned than quit.

everybody got ******* banned because of CCPs newest.... "diversity hire". But who knows maybe next time instead of CCP Mittani, we'll see CCP dumbfuckinghighsecminer.
