EVE General Discussion

I didn't think I was complaining as much as trying to give examples of why I asked the question. I'm not singling out CCP. A lot of software is now updating rapidly. The industry is just thrusting this upon us as a whole. and it cuts into my productivity. If I budget a couple hours for something and suddenly it takes four because of a combination of patching and acclimating myself and my system to the patch, i simply want it to be worth my time. I enjoy a stable system that I can plan my work around

I liked the example of the WOT patch. I appreciate that its just not size that matters also. That said, it sounds like a high value patch. But it also sounds like an expansions which are high customer esteemed value for sure. But how long did it take them to develop and deploy that expansion? You can't say the WOT tank crew is better individually or as a team just because of the size. You'd have to have better metrics than that for it to be a fair statement

In that example Super valued 5 things enough to mention them but not how long that expansion took them. Say it took 3 months

[quote]Rebalanace of tank
New tank
New map
New effect
Tweaks to the UI [/quote

and they got a few tanks and a few maps. 1+3+3+1+1=9 items of value in three months Thats three a month or one every 10 days. Now those could be delivered every ten days if your good like ccp but If I was a WOT guy I'd want the tanks one month, the maps the next month and then rebalance tweaks and effects the next month. Every month I pay, every month they deliver

I know we're patch starved but the backlog should be coming down

But I could be wrong too because a high value patch every ten days could be VERY exciting!! Imagine if one week a new ship came out, and then the next week another, next week a new wormhole, then some new artwork and then some exploration plexes. I admit those are very high value patches and ten days is too radical but I guessed on The WOT time span also when i did these numbers. . They might even obsolesce expansions as a business model but this is the kind of value thats worth the inconvenience to me.
