Currently we are seeing _very predictable feedback_ on what we are doing. Having the perspective of having done this for a decade, I can tell you that this is one of the moments where we look at what our players do and less of what they say.


This can be said about both sides and players have less to lose, there are other games out there that do what you want to achieve with WiS (aka Icarna) way better then EVE. And their Dev'S seem to care about them!

Give everyone in the cluster a voice!

*sigh* This is sadly a lot of... its barely even nothing.

Here is to a better future. I hope. With less focus on DUST and WofD, and more on something proven that people actually care about.

A fine statement of CCP, and encourage them to execute it A.S.A.P. Attention

We'll at least this is better than his pants blog....

Still I don't see the point of a blog to announce another blog down the road. I suppose it's an effort to keep the player base feeling it's in some sort of loop, thus a PR move. That could do well.

I'm cautiously optimistic. The game and CCP won't last many more years without a change in direction I don't believe. The question is is it a good change or a bad change. It is at least well that CCP unlike SOE in November 2005 is realizing the building storm against them, and is at least reexamining where they are and where they need to be. There is hope in that realization that perhaps, just perhaps they can right the ship before it is truly to late.

The focus should not be on talking. Talk is cheap. It must be on action.

all I see here is fan fair but no substance....and reference to a previuos blog that says "oops my bad" and we're gonna do "stuff".


So yeah...bitter"vet" (if you wana call me that) but I'll be keeping my energy focused on....well stuff.

So yeah.... nice....good for you.

I don't really understand why you folks at CCP feel the need to post these 'no-content' dev blogs. Honestly, it doesn't hurt to hold off posting something like this for a few days until you have some actual information to pair with it. All you're doing is irking your consumers by reminding them that you haven't actually shown anything substantial to prove your new focus.

So uh you're gonna fix some big problems in the game we gripe about all the time... does that mean you're leaving CQ in its current state... just saying... would kind of be doing exactly what you'd always be doing then...

I will await with quiet skepticism the next few dev blogs and am hopeful that I will be very pleasantly surprised.

As I understand it, Zulu was not ready to make accurate statements, maybe the figures in the memo were wrong, or perhaps the coffee machine broke, anyway he had to tell us something, so he wrote a placeholder. He'll be back when he's made up his mind and sobered a little.

Hey Zulu, if you want to build up expectations, you should work for another company.

A brief blog that is supposed to leave the mouth watering only works for companies you trust, and big titles. Like, if Blizzard would've done this pre-Star Craft 2, Diablo 3, or we'd get our hopes up for another Deus Ex, etc. Unfortunately, CCP has wasted all player trust they once had, and all so-called mouth watering content you talk abut (like WiS, 2006) etc, just turns out to take you 5year+ to release and leave a bitter taste of something incomplete and far from cutting edge.

I love this game, but for the last five years I have consistently told you guys to hire a communications director. Someone that know how to communicate with players, press, and know how to release your vital information. You guys are horrible at this, and as good a game platform you have built, as bad are you with dialogue with your players.

Quite possible the worst blog you guys have released in years.

One of the moments that define history was when you make fun of your customers.( blue jean blog, remember) You really screwed it up. Now you talkin about focusing to your customers.
I hope its not another PR thing.

For over 2 years eve online was THE mmorpg for me Arnar Hrafn Gylfason,

sadly after some mayor disappointments (planet interaction 1.0, altering mission agents but no new content, beta player housing, live events 2.0, broken dual boxing, attempted 100 dollar fee for 3rd party apps, still no assault frig love or t3 frigs, golden ammo and its grey areas)
eve to me is now just another mmo,

I'm gonna have to vote with my wallet on this one, hope you can make it the best mmorpg again soon™




Eve online is :

A) mining simulator B) glorified chatroom C) spreadsheets online

D) CCP Games Pay to Win at skill leveling, with instant gratification

I'll make my judgements on this in a couple of years, for my faith in what CCP says is rather low TBQH.
