Come on, it's a great, Sci-Fi, very non-cuddly name ;-)


Sounds like a carnifex in a unitard. I'm not sure what it would be, but it's definitely not cuddly. Big smile

Also I've not been a big fan of Zulu. He was rather arrogant and many of his statements seemed very out of touch with reality in eve.

Hey all, thanks for the kind words (and not so kind :)). I'll be around. But more on that later.

Oh crap are you returning to nerfing the carriers again?

I doubt Zulu "got the boot" or was demoted. My guess is that he stepped down 1) because he knew it was time for some fresh meat with fresh ideas to take his place and 2) because dealing with the *******'s of Eve can't be fun during a crisis like CCP has had this past year.

I don't know why all the trolling in here for Zulu. All in all he managed the whole thing pretty well...especially the past few months for Crucible.

I for one o7 CCP Zulu. Good job so far...we just needed more love in the "Iterations" department as EVE grew. Code needs to be gone through and updated, all that good stuff.

I am glad to see you sticking around.

ALSO - say what the haters want, Incarna IS A GOOD IDEA. It just needs to be grown slowly like Unifex stated ... nothing wrong with that.

EVE is going to be gone through with a fine tooth comb and big/NEW ideas like Incarna, Like the NEX store (or artists for hire as I like to think of it) will come online slowly and surely.

Anyways...I digress.

Congrates Unifex on the new responsibilites and in the words of one of my favorite sci-fi movies.... " Lets Rock!"

Ugh
i dunno kinda looks like uniSex to me...

then get some education

uni- = one
-fex = builder/maker
(don't confuse the sufffix -fex with the noun fex^^)

compare to pontifex, artifex, ...

unifex is a little weird because it is a prefix and a suffix with nothing in between but whatever...

I guess it could be translated as something along the lines of "the unifier" (which sounds like someone CCP would need)


no still reads like UniSex to me... all hail the new ccp lead dev with ambiguous Genitals...Blink

Wow, biggest podding ever!

My god, I'd love to see the kill mail on that mass podding!

I just gotta get a clone with no implants.

Zulu: I'm glad you're not leaving. Whatever mistakes you made personally, and whatever mistakes you were merely the frontman taking the heat, I'm sure you learned an awful lot, and I'd hate to see that experience lost.

And -- despite having a few issues around POCOs and POS fuel and perpetually having my windows reset -- Crucible is a pretty good release. And if we look at POCOs and Fuel Blocks, compare the original plan with what was finally released -- much improved. In both cases, I think they were good ideas at the core from the start, but were rushed out before fulling working out he consequences, risks, etc.

And in any event -- all these nice little features -- like clicking the Jump button, man, I love that change -- really make Crucible a success, overall. So you're leaving the role on a good note, so far as I'm concerned. I look forward to hearing about your future plans.

So, instead of putting Hilmar's head on a platter, we get Zulu's eh?

Sorry, it isn't enough.

Everyone knows who should be stepping down and until he does, Eve Online is still in jeopardy. Everyone knows that this craptacular NEX store is still being pushed by Hilmar and that he fully intends to find ways to make Eve players pay more real cash through it, even if it means we'll eventually see PTW items.

"War" theme?

So no fabled 'industrial' expansion any time soon then...

Call me a carebear if you feel the need, but I'm concerned about the impression that shooting at other players is the main part of the game, that there is nothing else worth doing in our digital solar systems. I can only hope the next theme will put its focus in quite a different camp.

Thank you.

They can't do everything at once guys. We don't the broken updates back.
Although I too hope for a industrial upgrade (soon) - living in 0.0 War is fine too.

Also, on google, the first result for "Unifex" is about a business scam which I think is kind of funny. I wish you luck in your new job sir. Make us proud and keep EVE alive.

The door will open there's something useful behind it.

Which I for one find quite reasonable.

If we could step through it now, we'd only get our out-of-pod bodies biomassed since there's nothing there except some remaining toxic corporate dream gas ;)


And when, exactly do you see that happening, if ever? Do I expect CCP to come out and say, oh yeah, CQ is dead, no.

Do I expect CQ to sit in atrophy and limbo for the next 4 years doing absolutely nothing/waiting for the right moment to blossom, aside from maybe the occasional new clothing set, or a change to the AUR system, definitely.

I'd say prove me wrong, but CCP's own history of leaving things unfinished kind of already proves my case.


Also, for those hoping for FW revamps in the war themed expansion, sorry to dissapoint, but the new expansion is going to revolve heavily around the launch of Dust 514, and it's integration. Hence their tag line "one universe, one war".

Welcome, CCP Unifex. I look forward to your tenure as Lead Producer. My advice to you is to continue fixing the broken stuff. I think you know what needs attention.

CCP Zulu, you have great vision. In measured doses, vision is vitally important to any venture. But vision without adequate planning nearly always results in EPIC FAIL. I hope that, one day, WiS becomes the epic win that you envisioned. I believe it can be done. It just needs more work. Flesh it out and make it relevant. Then I believe the Eve-O community will welcome WiS with open arms and wallets.

Capsulers in space. +10

Best of Luck and Happy New Year! I look forward to violencing your ships

BOTs, BOTs, BOTs
I don't know how you can attract me to go fighting in war
while I see how bots are widely used.
it is much better to keep my characters in enemy's botting systems to prevent in making UNFAIR isks.

it is so disappointing, no more words to say about.
