EVE General Discussion

Typo? Seriously?? They weren't typing in u instead of you, not hitting the jump instead of bridge button, they were messing with live revenue generating production systems.

I'm head of IT for a company in Europe and my dudes don;t even get to change a desktop memory stick without a checklist and a sign off. When it comes to front end changes they are jumping through hoops like proverbial circus monkeys. There is no way something like this should ahve happened without someone reviewing the change before it was implemented, standard change management methodolgy.

shame on you CCP, you fun killer!
we dont care about your sorry ass excuses, just do the f*cking job we pay you for with our subscriptions

get your **** together, wtf !!!

awwww so cute, someone trying to be relevant....

fyi people were in that fight playing for 6 hours, yes the playing part is one thing but that time spent is a RL figure and therefore has an impact. Ask the guys involved in that for 6 hours in 10% TIDI if they would have endured it all if they had known the eventual outcome?

If the guys running the service were volunteers then I would agree but they are not. They are well paid and are expected to do a good job in return, the fact its internet space pixels has absolutely nothing to do with it.

Typo. Seriously. Q9PP-H instead of Z9PP-H. No matter how serious the repercussions of the erroneous entry, it's still a typographical error - a typo.



There's no way the software should have allowed it - the data to be matched in what amounts to a 'search' position ('perform X process to all but Y') couldn't be matched. The process was told what amounts to 'as long as you don't see X, go ahead', which is insane - if nothing else, if you've got a syntax that says 'do this for all values that do not include Y' then you want to preserve all of the values that do include Y just in case there's an error.

I spent 8 years writing code for administration of an online game - you have to know you're going to get PEBKAC problems. I'm sure I'm not telling you anything you don't already know here, either. The software tools that you give to your server admins have to able to protect you from an attack of the Flying Monkey Brigade - and that's what really failed here. Data entry problems are more common than dead carebears during Burn Jita. And they get worse under pressure. You have to build tools that prevent pissant little errors from becoming massive operational faults that lead to unexpected system failure.

You are not guaranteed service. And while the pilots in that system did get a raw deal it does not warrant the absolutely horrible conduct some members have shown on these forums. It is a game and if you choose to spend all day in a system at such horrid Tidi that is your choice. What happened won't mean your family has to endure hardship like people are suggesting happen to a CCP employee.

You are irrelevant. Your time is irrelevant. This post, if you are reading it, is also irrelevant.

In EVE Online, we are the circus monkeys. You jump through flaming gates of tidi and then you get no candy because system remapped away your candy.

The logs didn't record that the candy was agressed, so the candy is gone. Deal with it.

If I, too, were tackled in space in an expensive ship with evil goons hitting me, this sort of loss of service would be quite a bonus.

And it was, to the tune of 100+ "slowcats" that would have been newbie salvage cats.

We still have FWEDDIT, you'll never take us down.

You have any evidence for that statement? Or are you just posting Libel towards a company for fun?
