Like everyone else, I like devblogs. But what your proposing is all a bit intense. The fact that updates are every month (pretty much) is enough to keep 99% of players coming back to see it.

Maybe don't ask the devs, but the CPM?

Well I see you linked my post and I understand your frustrations. Mine was more on par with the "visible" things that new players are meant to see, in this case, a giant NOVEMBER login screen when it is very clearly December - the same applies today and I think there has been in general a big silence throughout the month of november from the community team (saberwing, mintchip and cmdr wang - Logibro has still been very active) and this is a bit frustrating as their role is to engage with the community at large.

If you visit www.dust514.com ,vthey are still talking about 1.6 and "winter carnage", which now finished 10 days ago. The november events were up already as of 31/10... correct me if I'm wrong but the winter carnage rewards haven't even been paid out for everyone, and they are also supposed to post the response to the interview with CCP flying scotsman, which was done on the 15th November... but still no visibility on this.

Anyway I don't want this to degenerate into a "bash ccp" thread, but for me, aside from CCP logibro, most of them have just disappeared. Maybe I misunderstood their "role" - I understand the forums are a hostile place and that they also have to update facebook and twitter pages, but I feel the tempo of communication should be slightly higher than what it is now...

I feel like a little kid waiting for chrismas day, every month when the patch is due waiting to see what the new patch is like

Make it someone's work assignment to spend 30 or even 60 minutes each day to post something , if only a paragraph or a picture showing some new creation or idea you want to add into the game. It shouldn't be too difficult.

So put all of the devs twitter feeds on the dust website?

Yes.

Not every person- especially new or potential players which this game desperately needs to court- will go nearly as far as looking for the devs' twitter feeds to get a perspective on the development of the game. This should be concerted, public, and official.

The devs communicate on many channels. Some are less formal so they feel more able to talk without a bunch of overly entitled players holding them accountable to random comments. Anything posted to the official web site has more weight to it so those messages tend to be more crafted.

If you want more frequent information then look to these other channels but understand that things are likely to change.

Official takes the informality out of them and suddenly the conversation will stop or be severely limited by management.

OP have you considered that maybe you were not looking in the right place for your updates? Right here on the forums is a place to see what they have been working on, what communications they have been fielding, and what is to come in the next update before they even make a Dev Blog about it. Please make sure to use the search feature, or your eyes, which ever comes to you first next time.

Thank you,

A list tracking bugs. I'm so thrilled seeing that I need to go change my pants. [/sarcasm]

I did see that when they started doing it, and that isn't what I'm talking about. I'm proposing to overhaul this game's publicity on a larger scale.

Please make sure to use your eyes and read the thread next time.

Love,
