Can you leak post a list of these Grr Marlona rabble you speak of? it might make CSD's job of keeping this thread clean easier if you rat them out.

That you don't want to answer them doesn't make them any less real. So far, everything you've claimed was untrue has been truthful.

Ultimately while leaking personal information was bad judgment, everyone does something stupid every so often. What's really worrying though is the apparent inability to own up to a mistake. That personal information was in those logs has been so well-documented to be undeniable. So one has to question why you try so hard to insist it was not there and that everyone saying the sky is blue is lying, rather than own up to that you made an error in judgment and saying that you'll do better next time. An inability to own up to mistakes is not a good trait, lying about them an even worse one.


lmbo good luck getting an honest answer to this well-crafted and reasonable question

Q: should a CSM candidates constituency be the entire EVE playerbase or is it right for them to ignore people or alliance tags they dont like?

Ignoring someone because they fly a different corp/alliance flag or enjoy a different part of the game than you is a terrible philosophy to have as a CSM.

Here's a question for you. I know you spend a fair amount of time helping newer players in-game. Can you talk a little bit about that and share some of the most serious challenges you've seen them struggle with during their trial period and for the first couple of months in-game? What are some methods you would like to see CCP employ to mitigate the most common new player struggles?

The days following This Is EVE trailer was amazing in the rookie help channel. The place was flooded with new players with what seemed like the same tutorial snags. It was amazing to see the veteran players jump in and tirelessly answer the endless flood of questions. While the current tutorial is infinitely better than what I experienced as a new player, it still needs work. I spent a good amount of time in the rookie channel doing everything from answering basic questions to helping with anti-gank fits for their Ventures. Even taking to Skype to do screen shares and walking them through specific parts. For one new player I spent an hour and a half with him figuring things out. He is doing well in EVE University and I believe planning on joint RvB after.

For changes to it I would like to see more immediate action for the new player to experience. Maybe they start off with limited control of a battleship and through the excitement of the battle they learn a few thing like locking targets and shooting. Making things blow up. Whatever it may be, as long as it puts them on the edge of their seat craving more.

Perhaps for the excellent article suggestingn jump range changes that came out before the changes instituted in the game?

could you be specific on which minutes, which session rather than such a vague question?

Please point to the "ultra exaggerated and flat out lies" in the question I posed. I'm curious, genuinely.


*Snip* Please refrain from posting private in game correspondence. ISD Ezwal.

Edit - Marlona reached out regarding the leaks and, sadly, resorted to childish behavior to deflect the issue that he posted people's personal information. It's quite distressing to see someone who wishes to become one of the more important figures within the EVE community completely unwilling to accept they made a mistake. It's simply a sign of immaturity in that person.

You mean those changes which have made the game even more stagnant than it was before?

Those changes which were supposed to have increased conflict but only resulted in coalitions becoming even more entrenched?

Just for reference, the CSM does have this.

Backed by the NDA. (which is a contract, with not insubstantial penalties for breaking it)

I'm guessing you are talking about Pheobe and the Jump Fatigue mechanics. What need to be understood is the situation in null in regards to coalitions is it is not just power projection, but the way sov works that is keeping things slow in regards to change. What we currently have is the Dominion sov, which is actually an incomplete version of what was intended. Dominion sov requires an unholy amount of structure grinding to accomplish anything. Factor in instant structure damage notifications and any small group will have a tough time taking any sov from a coalition before they are able to sound the Horn of Gondor and everyone showing up.

My hope is that the new sov changes will be the opposite of soul crushing. I believe taking and defending sov should be mostly automatic and based around enjoyable activities. For a good while there has been a steady flow of ideas from the players on what these activities could be. Perhaps the sov in addition to a completely revamped POS feature would mean those select few who do logistics for hundreds and in some cases, thousands of players in their alliance no longer meant they were having to do things that murder their jump fatigue.

So when you combine a good sov system with the Jump Fatigue (which has many ways to adjust), THAT is when you will see the idea of a coalition like we see now become obsolete. Imagine your alliance having enough content for itself and no longer requiring 30,000 other players from dozens of other alliance to be able to hold a region or two? Only having to travel a handful of jumps to reach the front line.

There is still of course addressing the issue of industry related activities in null. Having to depend on shipping in so much from Jita is not good.

Which is why it is important to make sure those on the CSM are very keen about these issues and help guide CCP towards these things to help the players enjoy the game more. I strongly believe I am one of those candidates who should be on the CSM. I understand you have a mandate from up high to vote a specific way, but if you take a moment and think about your game play and what is best for it. I look forward to your vote.

It is important for corp and alliance leadership not to be bogged down with arbitrary UI to do the most basic things needed. Which is something CCP are already neck deep in changing from my understanding. A CEO, director, logistics manager, as well as many other highly important roles to make a corp/alliance function should not require them to spend eons performing those tasks. They need to have a good amount of time to fly around and pew pew someone's face if they want. Basically they need to have fun too. Filling one of these roles is challenging enough as it is. Don't shackle them with unintuitive user interface as well.

I explain a bit on my view for the coming sov changes and what I hope they will mean in the post above this reply.

Just want to point out I am happy such a thing exists and will gladly sign it. I work in the film industry and NDA is widely in place to protect a lot of things. From start to finish, people work extremely hard to present a film that (hopefully) is enjoyable for the target audience. My daily life is blanketed with NDA related stuff. It is nothing new for me.

Flown with Marlona on a handful of occassions since meeting back in 07-08. He is a damn good pvper, content creator, and always been vocal about his thoughts on current meta (much of which has been good/constructive criticism).

Also he was the first person who I ever got the pleasure of recieving full commandship bonuses from, and weeeee that was fun.Big smile

Is it opposite day where you are?

More has happened since the Phoebe changes were announced than in the 9 months before them. They are literally the best thing that CCP has ever done.

And I can tell you as a matter of fact that Marlona contributed to making them happen.
