EVE General Discussion

maybe, well i dont know, heres a off the wall idea, maybe focus on FIXING YOUR GODM PATCHES instead of hosting live streams.
ccp professionalism is out the window, hosting events to geta tax break, well now, lets do that instead of our job..

Yeah, cos we really need guys that do video production and other marketing stuff sat writing code!

VERITAS BEST IN GAME RACE?

Yes, they can totally recode eve in an afternoon on a saturday

That was a awesomely hilarious night of entertainment guys thnxz very much, an great to see you managed to raise so much well done

Still waiting for a Dev 1v1.... I understand if no one wants to pew pew...

It was an awesome effort and very entertaining. Wish I coulda seen the shaved head of the ginger guy but duty called. Any chance of a pic of that?

We will also have recording of the stream made available at some point!

They're still in progress, but we'll be updating things on Monday once everything is finalized.

For me, this live stream was one of the best things CCP has ever done. This also was the most accessible, most personal, interaction between the devs and all players that I've seen to date. I laughed until I thought I couldn't laugh anymore and then just kept laughing. I enjoyed it tremendously. There were, imo, some minor pacing issues, where watching other people play games for too long, disconnected the viewer when the object of the devs' attention switched from the players to each other. Viewers went from participant to spectator in those moments. But aside from that minor critique which I offer only for QC, it really was great fun.

I learned so much today about CCP. I learned that CCP Bro cannot dance, or sing, but has great aim. I learned that CCP Mimic is a beautiful person with or without hair who has an infectuous smile that never disappears. I learned that CCP Karkur may not be the greatest chef (!) but she is a machine when knitting. Several times in the corner of a frame, you can see the blitz of activity that is Karkur in action. I learned that CCP Gargant is pretty huge, has a most decent sense of humor, and believes his ginger locks are the source of all the good luck in his life. I learned that CCP Guard is a ninja, a hobbit, a roustabout, a gangster, and a cheese fancier. Guard's answer of Armageddon (esp navy geddon imo) as favorite ship design struck a particularly favorable chord. But there is no one who I learned more about today than CCP Dolan. As our community representative, up until this point, Dolan was only a badly positioned character portrait and words on a forum. But after witnessing him endure countless indignities on our behalf, and squeal most deliciously throughout each, I believe he will have endeared himself to many people as a result. I learned he's funny, charitable, and a true sportsman. Ultimately though, I learned a newfound appreciation for the entire dev team because of the amazing lengths they all went through to ensure that this event was a smashing success.

I also learned superficial things like CCP has this amazing industrial kitchen in house and some kind of psychadelic dreamcatcher somewhere that spins balls of light around the room like a discotheque 24/7. I already knew our community is one of the most tight-knit anywhere, but I learned that I vastly underestimated their capacity for generosity and philanthropy. I learned that some EVE players have accumulated wealth to such a degree that it is truly astonishing. But from my own diminutive perspective, I learned that even I am capable of generating 5 billion isk in a few days time - a task that I've never even accomplished prior to this event. So I even learned something about my own capabilities.

I suspect when the next disaster hits, and when Plex 4 Good is reinstituted, CCP devs will think twice about their pledges as the community will most certainly do its best to force them into realization. Devs will pledge to wear chicken or gorilla suits for the day or handcuff themselves to one another as opposed to getting beaten with flaming sticks. The tasks performed don't necessarily have to be violent imo - just humiliating.

Raising somewhere in the neighborhood of $200,000 for disaster relief is no small feat and everyone who particpated should be proud of themselves. When the live stream was over, despite watching for over 8 hrs, I was sorry it ended. And there really is no truer compliment possible.

Thank you CCP, most sincerely, for everything you guys do for us.
