I sincerely hope this is a sea change rather than a last gasp...


This game, even with it's many (many) flaws, is still too damn good for a last gasp. I'm not trying to say that this is the friggin Rapture or anything like that, but I'd say we're starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel. Winter expansion is make or break for CCP in a lot of ways. I think the current dev activity (with the unquestionable highlight being torfi's little ray of sunshine) indicates that they understand how perilous their position is.

This meme is still making me laugh when used in the office, although you left of the "It was Real" kicker.

Its absolutely tragic that the same people who wanted more FiS are the same people who wanted spinning back, and took up development time on such foolishness.

And quite frankly I am amazed at CCP's response, which is bending over backwards to give "players what they want".

Regardless, good job CCP. Almost great if it wasn't for the minutes scandal and lack of communication on FW.

Better than them having wasted resources on CQ to begin with. Or PI. Or pretty much anything they've done since Apocrypha.

Does this apparent change in dev attitude represent them being on the right track? It's impossible to predict since we can't tell whether or not the company is still a big frat house that promotes based on who can tell the dirtiest jokes instead of on competence. Now, if CCP put out some dev blogs about what internal corporate reforms they are doing to transition from "dudes with some luck" to "professional game developers" then maybe I'd believe EVE's expiration date is more than 2 or 3 expansions away.

who knows they might be, personally i do feel much more encouraged to play now seeing this ammount of dev activity, just seeing they actually notice things, is a good thing.

I enjoy seeing a forum with multiple DEVs chiming in around the day. That's good.

We're going to look more at what they do than what they say…

…but yes, they're certainly saying a lot of right things all of a sudden.

It makes me ecstatic that what they are doing right now...

Makes you mad
Makes me happy
Is enough to retain your subscription.

After all, they are a business, and what you are 'doing' is supporting CCP. Thank you.

Not to mention the recent good posting from t0rtifrans, letting us know that ship spinning will be back with CQ only a click away, AND the return of the old module icons.

I guess it's stupid to praise them for putting things back into the game that they deliberately removed for no good reason, but it's better than gold ammo and monocles.


I missed that, can sbdy. point me in the right direction? Question
