WH Stabilizers?

C/D?

Prior to your election, you said you had strong feelings about WH Stabilizers (or some other mechanic to get around mass limits and timers). You never elaborated on that, and you have avoided the question here in this thread.

Are you still in favor of some mechanic to change the behavior of WH's, and if so, is CCP working on it?

I haven't heard any talk of wormhole stabilizers all year. Nobody inside the CSM has brought these up with CCP or is actively pushing for them at all.

Yeah, my strong feeling is that WH stabilizers are dumb. I have made a recurring joke about T3 Supertitans affecting wormholes but that's about it.

TY - I knew the "titan" thing was not serious, but since you *had* been the dev (so far as I know) most closely associated with WH's (from before they were a thing) I seriously wanted to make sure that WHS were not a *thing*.

Again.

TY.

Who on the CSM will press CCP to start providing hard economic data again aka specific facts like CCP Diagoras did before he quit CCP?

I +1 the hopes for ongoing statistics, not only economic but like the amazing Twitter feed by Diagoras.

Then, for next expansion, I'd really hope to see CSM working together with CCP to completely overhaul drone UI and fix drone AI and base mechanics and rebalance some of the stats. The NPC AI changes brought the old known issues into attention of larger audiences, affecting PVE now as well.

Although this is an AMA thread, here's a shortlist of most important required changes:

- new UI allowing full individual control of drones with custom hotkeys, with visual indication of which drones are targeted
- new AI, with some simple customisable settings if possible (prioritize closest targets/of certain size/ewar etc)
- the chase/orbit needs to be changed so that also MWDing drones shoot, and drones need to be much faster across the board
- drone signature size is simply way too big, making them way too easy to kill

So, do you think we have hopes of seeing drones fixed in the next expansion?

Pos reworked and Corporation management and roles before all else.

Honestly they need to be fixed ASAP, they have waited too long and they are so broken. Yes drones need work but not as urgently as POS and corp management and roles.

Any spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are because frankly, I don't care!!

Oh, I fully agree with you but AFAIK those are already confirmed to be on the table. Could well also be different teams tackling the issues.

Possibly but I will scream bloody murder if POS and corp management goes into the Soon basket.

Trying to word this vaguely enough to avoid any NDA issues: how much more interested/enthusiastic/optimistic are you about Dust after the summit than you were before?

Some of the stuff is rolling out much sooner than I anticipated, but admittedly I was skeptical and set a low bar as far as expectations go. This is still an insane (in a good way) experiment and ground that's never been tread before. I was pleasantly surprised. :) That being said, I also voiced concerns during the summit as well about some gameplay details, but those will have to wait for the minutes approval. Dust is a very sensitive subject NDA-wise, there is a lot riding on it and I must tread lightly.

Overall I'm one of the more optimistic CSM members when it comes to Dust 514, as I arguably play more than the others and have seen and spoken with a good cross section of the Dust community. I think the naysayers often don't realize that many in the beta KNOW its not Planetside 2, KNOW its not C.O.D. or BF2, and just don't care. Dust 514 has its own unique appeal to them, and many are patiently awaiting each new mini-expansion within the beta world. As long as CCP doesnt horribly screw something up, I anticipate it'll launch with a good core and grow with time just as EVE has. The fact that I've already witnessed backstabbing, corp drama, schism, competition, E-fame, E-sports, and E-peens galore in the beta world is highly encouraging. I'd be far more worried if that sort of thing wasn't taking place already.

See Han's big answer above? It was just how he sounded talking to him face to face with me after the summit as well. He's very much trying to be ~glass half full~ about DUST and I respect why he feels that way and can see his point of view; I just don't share it.

I went into the Summit with low expectations about what we would hear about DUST. In some ways, I was impressed by what I heard but, mostly, I found myself shaking my head at the reality-distortion field surrounding the DUST team. They all seem to BELIEVE in what they are doing, but the CSM (and myself quite forcefully) were very clear on the fact that they have no real marketing message that will have EVE players giving a damn.

I specifically warned the DUST team that I felt Deja Vu from the spring CSM 6 summit when we were talking to CCP about Incarna and asking a lot of questions and getting answers that left us with ~meh~ impressions. Not to directly compare the Incarna idiocy directly with DUST (which I think is being much more competently managed), it's just the best example I can give of how the CSM feels right now with regard to the gaping holes in, "Dudes, you've been working on this for over four years. Four. Years. When are you going to show us the actual cake?"

Beyond that? Cripes, I'm not much of an FPS player but even I understand the basic elements of shooters (I love Crysis and now Planetside 2 to death). From everything graphics and gameplay wise, I just don't understand the appeal of DUST beyond the as yet to be publicly defined ~link~ to EVE. v0v

I'm limited by what more I can say at the moment, even though some of it is right out there in the open obvious, but I'm going to be VERY curious to see how the official minutes to the DUST sessions come back from CCP's review.

Of the 4 NDA topics discussed at your summit, which do you think will make Eve players happiest?

Which one do you think is closest to being revealed?

As stated in the title, I may have ~things~ to say if you ask some questions. Twitter: @Seleene_EVE

I will do my best to answer questions as they happen but may be AFK from time to time. If I don't know or can't talk about something and say that, please just let it be. Otherwise, ask away! :)
Anything eh?

So I've got this "thing" on my ankle and I'm not sure what it is. It sort of looks like a zit but it's hard and yellow. I'm not sure what to classify it and thus am unsure how to deal with it. Advice?
