Test Server Feedback

Way to completely erase all of the great progress you guys were making at unfucking this game.


Please add a "block" invite option AND NUKE ACCEPTANCE IN SPACE

Yep. For a moment I thought CCP was on the right track, then this comes along.

Do not want.
Will be abused.
Not needed.
Do not fix what's not broken.

can you invite and accept while in space ?

I see no need for this change. But if your set on implementing it please have an opt in at the corporation level (Directors or CEO only). This way should a corporation want to use this method they first need to enable it.

Also please have an opt out at the player level. I personally do not want random invites.

Another idea, can this be limited to pilots under a specific time period? Say the first 90 days or something like that.

As a recruiting Corp who really tries hard to only mail very new to Eve pilots (and our apologies if we send to an established player who's just created an alt or new account) this change would not help us in any way and if it increases spam and everyone starts blocking mail that would hurt recruitment not assist it.

I would much rather see a more dynamic and searchable way for new pilots to find Corporation to join, there is a huge difference between a Corp that is 'new bro friendly' and a Corp that will actively train new pilots.

I know people talk about spam mail but the truth is its one way that training Corps can try to reach pilots who may still not know where to look and who may want to compare one with another. And its a good way to open a dialogue with a prospective pilot.

As has been said I don't see any need to change the current system to one of pro-active inviting. We all need to do background checks, we all want to 'meet' our prospective members to make sure we're the right Corp for them and they'll fit in with us. So we wouldn't be sending out random invites anyway.

What would be much more helpful is a complete overhaul of the in game Corp role and title management system which seems to need a degree in tautology to be able to use it and this includes recruitment and screening roles.

So perhaps you could tell us what huge current issue around recruiting pilots this is meant to solve and what difference do you think it will make?

Hi all,

Thanks for all the feedback so far, its much appreciated. We're obviously concerned about ways this can be abused and we're working on some ideas to mitigate the concerns that have been raised so far. Nothing to share yet, but I just wanted to drop by and let you all know we working on it.

Thanks again

This is horrible. You shouldn't need to have roles dropped to apply to a corp, this would create hassle and unneccesary bother for those of us who get our apps in before roles have dropped, so that when they have, we can be accepted. The problem is not with the system, but with your process. 1) If you need to 'process' an application all over again due to a max 24 hour delay, you're creating unnecessarily headaches for yourself. 2) Have applicants include in their application when their roles drop, or 3) Tell noobies not to apply until they have dropped roles, and wait 24 hours before processing any app. If a player cant follow such basic instructions, they belong in Test.

Several of my corp mates were victims of the 'joining a war to insta-gank' exploit. Joining a corp while in space is asking for even more trouble (and generating more work for GMs).

The is only an acceptable change if the 'accept invite' requires being docked in all cases.

For highsec war balance it is necessary that the 'remain docked to swap corps' remains. I wouldn't even object to a 1 minute timer on accepting corp invites.

Even though I'd abuse the hell out of any rule change that let you swap corps in flight, I don't want it added.

You really, really need to put a 1 minute cooldown timer on sending invites with this system (that's 1 minute per invite sent, even if they are to different people). I used to play World of Warcraft, and one of the really toxic things in that game was having five to ten guild invites spammed at you (mostly from different guilds) each time you ran a dungeon. CSPA is not enough of a disincentive as CSPA fees are too low, and the profit from one mission runner joining your corp is high enough to merit it.


Please note that if no 1 minute cooldown is implemented, I will be aggressively using this to scam via multiple methods that I've worked out. I will not be spamming any one individual (my goal will be to ask any individual only once, maybe twice by accident).

Or, you know, the game could offer both of those pieces of information to both the applicant and the recruiter as part of the application process. They're kind of important.
