EVE General Discussion

Do tell when bashing an opponent who yielded made you more of a winner?

it has been over two years since Apocrypha. we talked, we waited, we talked more and waited more, yet :excellence: and :quality: didn't happened. all that happened was :18months:, half-assed WiS, and barely no content since then (incursions wasn't bad, content wise, but it could be much better). Population got tired of waiting and so we had the jita riots.

so yeah, bashing might not work, but then again, we exhausted everything else, so bashing it is.

I'm trying to imagine CCP running a fleet, it would never undock and just listen to the FC predicting a totally awesome fight in 18 months.

and I totally agree with that. that's why I'm in my "wait and see" mode to see how it goes. Winter expansion is the time limit.

Intel or it never happened.


Now here's a thing. Can the winter expansion contain massive new content? Has CCP got time?

CCP been backed into a corner to "fix this, fix that, gimme this, gimme that" and the release will probably be no more than an acquiecence to the demands placed upon them by the slap CCP brigade....

New content? Maybe. Fixed content? Probably.

Will you settle for the latter?

properly fixed content yes.

then again, "properly fixed" can be subjective.

Especially after coming to the "table" with a few blogs that are just a bit off the window of time when they SHOULD'VE come out. Not that I ever agreed with CCP bashing, but when CCP admits to making mistakes and then pulls all of this awesome out of their hats, the first thing the CSM does is come to the forums with some blog posts about things from four months ago?

What?

Again, I didn't vote for any of these people. I would pay a healthy amount of ISK just to make sure Mittens never gets another seat. In fact, I would be interested in running against him.

Incidentally I'm still waiting for you to tell me about those two awesome things that CCP have actually released to TQ since Incarna

Ah, somebody understood what I was trying to do there. That was indeed an extreme example.

Constructive criticism and reasonable language have both been used extensively in these forums if people bother to read the voluminous feedback and issues threads. We have written lucid posts that detail bugs and game play issues. We have written reasonable posts asking why certain game design decisions have been put into place. CCP has made the choice to not continue a dialog regarding various issues.

Is there any question why EVE service subscribers are irrate or utilize off-the-wall language to illustrate the absurdity of the situation that CCP has created?

For what its worth, I kinda agree with this sentiment. Not saying the whip needs to be put away, but maybe some balance is needed. Maybe since using the 'stick' pushed things along in terms of communication, maybe using a few carrots can help with the moral of the devs who do actually work hard to make the game better for us all. I heard a good number of them were of the same mindset as the 'angry' section of the playerbase when incarna plopped out.

I'll start with what I consider a 'carrot'.
If, and only if the winter expansion turns out some decent fixes and generally makes EvE an improved game experience for all, I'll resub one of my chars.

Obviously, if the winter thing turns into another 'incarna' then I'll get my stick back out by walking my last remaining sub out of the 'door' regardless of its status as a non-functioning object and never to return again. I'd like for the winter 'patch/expansion' to be great though, I miss my two other acc's and would like a good reason to resub them.

Could all go to crap though, BF3 is nearing release and I've always had a soft spot for 'nade spamming.
