I swear they all are originally from beta max good diverse focus group. Aeon Amadi for CPM!!

Troll or not..... I do play, am CEO of my corp, play PC, got 20+ million SP and run the only french website on the game. And the other people you're criticizing all know the game like if they were born in it. And certainly gave much more interesting input than what you could in a lifetime judging by the brightness of your intervention. Having critics is one thing. Being plain insulting while not knowing who you're talking about is another.

Now, to more constructive business...

This statement is a good thing. It flashes light on some issues we had that can explain the supermassive black hole feeling most people probably had with the CPM so far. I never hid the fact it pretty much pushed me away from the game, combined to a general exhaustion feeling after focusing too much and too seriously on Dust for more than a year.

But now, this is behind. And all i'm interested in, and i think most people CPM or not feel the same, is looking forward to how the game will change and evolve and how everyone can help in the process. Errors and mistakes are good for one thing : learning.

So now, let's all join hands and sing while shooting people in the face.

they are anything but skilled. They are not a good representation of the DUST 514 community. They barely play the game if they do at all.

Be like the CSM and actually elect people that will put the time into being a part of it.

Well. to be fair you are less "talkative", and also the most knowledgeable member on the CPM.

"We are well aware of the fact that the daily/weekly skill point rollover system is the favorite amongst the community, and we are implementing such a system aimed at the next major release."

"We would like to remind you that these changes do not represent the final skill point system and that we are still working hard on getting to the fully polished rollover system later on."

We will monitor the situation after the changes are live and look forward to receiving feedback from you. Once again, we would like to remind you that weekly skill point rollover system is being worked on and that this is just the temporary solution that we are implementing.

Just over 6 months ago, CCP formed the first iteration of the Council of Planetary Management (CPM) for DUST 514. The CPM was a selected, diverse group of high level, knowledgeable players aimed to represent DUST 514 players to the development team. You can read more about their original purpose here, but IGÇÖd like to take some time to talk about their growth, current and past integration into the DUST development process, and opportunities to improve their effectiveness for both players and CCP.

The CPM was inspired by EVE OnlineGÇÖs Council of Stellar Management (CSM), a democratically elected player counsel that acts as a representative body for the player-base. The CSM serves a year-long term and, along with regular digital meetings with EVE development teams, meets directly with CCP development teams several times at intensive, in-person summits. You can read more about the CSM here.

Among the primary functions of the CSM, now in its 8th seated counsel, has been to act as a GÇ£focus groupGÇ¥ for the EVE development teams by getting early access to information and providing feedback on upcoming features in order to help shape the ongoing development of the game. The CPM was formed in the similar hope that they would provide a representative voice for players and be equally as helpful in the development of DUST 514. However, changes in key personnel within the DUST 514 development team has made it difficult to continuously engage the CPM in open dialogue regarding the development of DUST 514, and this lack of dialogue sometimes resulted in dropped balls, or topics being lost in the accelerated pace of development. However, we think that by understanding the difficulties and mistakes of the past, we can turn the CPM into the effective council that both CCP and the CPM have always hoped it would be.

From the beginning, CCP Xhagen and I, CCP Dolan, were the primary points of contact for all CSM and CPM matters. However, with CCP Xhagen transitioning into his role as a producer for EVE Online, I have realized that I need to enlist additional help so that we can turn the CPM into the success it deserves to be. The recent arrival and support of CCP Rouge (Executive Producer) has been immensely helpful in involving the CPM deeply in to the development process in our Shanghai office. The CPM has already held several meetings with him over the last couple of weeks and will continue to do so in the coming future. Additionally, CCP Saberwing (DUST 514 Community Manager) will be working with the CPM to organize and oversee the CPMGÇÖs direct connection with all of the relevant DUST 514 Development teams. With this new team in place, we anticipate a more active and fluid level of communication between CCP and the CPM.

Similarly, the monthly release schedule necessitated by DUST 514GÇÖs rapid development has provided its own set of unique challenges and opportunities. It has required a reassessment of our communication pathways, as we have found that the structure derived from our relationship with the CSM simply isnGÇÖt applicable. To address this issue, CCP will now focus on talking to the CPM when setting goals and designs for features far in advance of them actually being worked on. This will allow their feedback to be concentrated on the finer details once development has begun.

While there have been difficulties over the past 6 months, the CPM has demonstrated a continued commitment to working with CCP, and I must commend them for their dedicated time and effort. Their institution is invaluable in a game as new and rapidly growing as DUST 514, especially given the single shared universe it inhabits with EVE Online. CCP is fully committed to strengthening their relationship with the CPM and growing DUST 514 through the help of their collective expertise.

The garbage cpm and their influence from being the eve nerds they are and NOT shooters is the PRIMARY problem in this game. We need people who shoot not these spreadsheet scrubs. CPM members should not be lomg term eve players, they have long supported no respecs or REFUNDS even after we pay you aurum for something which in my mimd is cash, and you still refuse anything in return and its the influence of the cpms eve mentality that has helped drive you down such an incredibly destitute path. Get rid of eve players from the cpm first.

Wait, what?

How is this growing exactly? Explain to me like I'm a 6 year old.

The game is growing neither rapidly in features, nor in players; you're misinformed please educate yourself.

I did educate myself: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1342748#post1342748

My graphs still show player numbers dropping, and your feature list is a joke (vaporware); the way the current patches are going that list won't be finished until 2020. You're either naive or just plain stupid, this game has gone nowhere since the official launch. It's still just a lobby shooter with pizz poor performance and balance issues, and the EVE link is a joke.

You must have really low expectations as a player, I guess you'll take anything as long as it's free.

CPM= Crooked Poo Munchers

These clowns ONLY care about themselves and how to make the game better for THEM. They have done MORE damage then good. They requested changes that no one else wanted. I have NO RESPECT for these clowns. I will not stop until they are all bleeding out in a pile of poo.
Stop fking up the game and worry about ADDING NEW STUFF.

Seriously do we even need a CPM? surely with additions to CCP like logibro etc these are real dust players who get the game, why do we need to select a small unrepresentative group of players to be a focus group?

Do i need to spout marketing 101? - a focus group is something that changes each time you change the product......

CCP just keep the eve players happy with the CSM so they can feel important for once in their lives that they get to direct SPACE GAMES, dust i think isn't the same thing. Don't elevate a small group of people into 'hubris' - spread your focus group around, setup virtual groups and test a much wider sample of players

Just my 10 cents.
