Proposal for multiple outcomes to Invention:

• Success (exceptional): 50% of datacores returned
• Success (great): 25% of datacores returned
• Success (good): 10% of datacores returned
• Success (standard): no datacore returned
• Failure (standard): 10 run BPC of a random meta version is produced
• Failure (poor): 5 run BPC of a random meta version is produced
• Failure (terrible): 1 run BPC of a random meta version is produced
• Failure (critical): no results

This will avoid incoherent manufacturing time and material requirements when producing larger batches of T2 items while still retaining a significant return for fringe results.

dude hasn't even responded since creating the thread, I think he's forgotten about it.

Yes, we were told Soon(tm)....a month ago...

I don't know if you remember, but a while back CCP "promised" to take huge steps forward in their communication with this community....There has not been a single Dev response in this "feedback" thread for 37 days. Which is troubling when one considers that they also had a goal of having all this info out to us in time to get good testing time before release. (re-read OP)

It really would not be very hard for just a single person from the team involved to read and respond to concerns brought up in their respective 'feedback' threads. Really, it wouldn't. My guess is maybe 1 hour (if that) of work time every other day would generally be sufficient to cover the basic communication needs. But narry a peep in over a month is not what most people would consider 'good communication'.

Not the dev blog I was referring to. There is more than a single development stream you know.

https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=5133468#post5133468 refers to it.

Yes. Because all industry players read all the 3rd party developer kit threads that pop up. How about answering questions related to the blog that said thread is supposed to give feedback for? Why would i look under the forum section devoted to "player tools and applications" for information about the invention changes?

And why post only in that thread 2 days ago talking about the possible updates...when they haven't posted in THE THREAD DEDICATED TO INVENTION FEEDBACK for well over 30 days?

And then we as players attempting to give feedback get yelled at by dev's/csm's for "giving the wrong dev's feedback for stuff that is 'not their area"....can you understand our frustration?

^^ CCP, if you want multiple degrees of success, listen to this man.

The link you posted doesn't include actual details about the content for the category Invention. It does refer to this

Which isn't clear about "a later date" either.

So my question stand: I want to know how much lead time CCP is going to give us given that I need ~4 months training to recover from the skills reshuffling they plan to do for inventions

Soon(tm).....

Sooo, i guess they don't really want any more feedback on any changes they may or may not be making to this...because they are sorta running out of time to get constructive feedback before its too late to change it before release...

Seriously...please explain to us why we should continue bothering attempting to communicate with CCP, when they seem to have no desire to follow through with their commitment to improve their communication with us.

So after one source of junk BPCs was finally removed (Data Interfaces) you want to add a much bigger one?

I am familiar with your frustration. I know it may be difficult to be patient with all involved parties, but give it time... hopefully, they will come through for us.
