Hey, great pic!

Oh for the Barghest, I'm renaming it the Battle Paddle, Flap Jack, or maybe Space Pan!

I would also like to say thank you to CCP Karkur for your consistent efforts to update all the little things. Just because they are little does not mean they go unnoticed. o7

I would also like to nominate CCP Karkur for this year's MVCCP award. Big smile
And for next year as well. Cool

I want to take the opportunity to give a special thank you to ccp karkur who greatly improves the UI that I've come to hate sometimes. The things done there are called little but are just great ♥
Kudos also the her dedication to let the community know what's already possible (e.g. with the video guide she created)

Together with the other new features and changes, Kronos really a host of exciting stuff (and a lot to get used to for some).

The Vigilant still has a -150 to its PG. Making already rarely used used ships. Even less useful.

Other then that. I am still waiting for a Kador Legion skin and Black Cyber arms.

She definitely does, but that's not hard.

Posting in a CCP "I hope this sh*t works" or a pre-patch damage control thread.

We'll find out soon.


MMOindustry mega-expert CCP Loktofeit shot me a note saying "These threads are way too transparent. If ours doesn’t backfire, it will be the first. It also means our players are far stupider than your average [[REDACTED]] forumite." I took his words to heart so, in the interest of fullest transparency, a bit of explanation.

I started this thread because I was genuinely excited for Kronos as an EVE player--having been training some characters towards it for weeks. I did encourage devs (not encourage like "you might want to do this or I'll break your legs" mind you) to post in here if they felt moved to, but it certainly wasn't mandatory or any thing other than a simple email saying it might be cool to show some love to yourselves or others. Glad some of them shared in my excitement.

I think the world can use with a bit more positivity at the end of the day, both internally when everyone is hard at work getting ready to ship stuff and externally when new stuff is coming for people to play with. However, too much positivity does become disingenuous I agree, which is why we're not doing a full social media blitz, series of video interviews etc with "dev excitement" as the theme.

The features, at the end of the day, speak for themselves. Here's hoping I don't have to do any post-patch damage control Shocked

Methinks thou protest too much

It should have been mandatory to never do this ever

EDIT: as I believe Kane said below this; don't fap in public about how "awesome" and "exciting" your product is if you cant be bothered answering genuine questions and queries

Maybe...

But when devs stop responding to peoples concerns in the Feature forums after posting some changes you need to worry a bit. Anyway let her rip tomorrow. Our concerns mean nothing in the greatest scheme of things. I just wish there was a valid reason for bumping one of my fav ships down with 150PG.

I refuse to curb external exultation of personal interests, EVE being one of them. Life is too short not to geek out over geek stuff.

Although it is kind of ironic when I am the person who does edit out mentions of "awesome" and "excited" from devblogs on a regular basis. Maybe I should look into my apparent inconsistent schizophrenia, so your EDIT is well taken.

Fair point well made

I speak only as someone who, in the past, has had a gun put to my head and forced to recite the litanies of Awesome ad nauseum. Its hard to believe when everyone sings from the same hymn sheet.

Perhaps you are all right and I am simply bitter that none of the new content applies to me

But I find it hard to believe that everything is awesome, everything is cool when your part of a team..

Never not post.

You lot are so lovable when you scamper around all excited just before something catastrophic happens and you toss CCP Falcon into the hornets nest that is GD on patch day.
