First off - a happy 2014 to all of you! Now, I'm opening this up to the community:
What would you like to see in the newsletters this year?
Every month the DUST 514 big dogs lock me in a dark, cold room until I've churned out the monthly email newsletter, depriving me of food, water and PlayStation 3 access until the job is done. Since I am enduring these conditions for all of you, I figured I may as well produce the emails you want to read - complete with some unique content, free item giveaways exclusive to verified subscribers, latest event information, new in the marketplace notifications and so on...
But what else would you like to read? Let's discuss it in this awesome forum.
SPECIAL COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT INCENTIVE PRIZE:
First ten replies get to be the next ten posters in this thread!
First, the inhumane privations you are being subjected too by the Caldari top brass are deplorable, really. On the other hand, i'm enjoying the newsletter, and honestly, what's one individual's suffering in the creation of art? Rest easy that long after the hunger and pneumonia(i assume they also turn of the heat) take you your works will live on in the immortal hearts of many a hard-bitten New Eden mercenary.
One thing i've really wanted to see on the Forums, but i suppose the newletter would do just as well, is a centralized list of 'talking points'. This would be a set of topics that CCP development was kicking around for possible(or not) future development and where focused player input would be valuable. The contents of the talking points list would roll approximately with develoment cycles.
The motivation for this is forum contibutor efficiency - there's a lot of topics and potential areas of development kicking around on the forums, and what's hot on the forums may or may not have any alignment with where we are in the development cycle. It can be genuine puzzle to know where we are at in a development cycle, and not all committed players have the time to immerse themselves in irc or Skype channels. The limiting factor is time - there are many peeps who are actively striving to supply CCP with quality feedback but RL obligations for many peeps are the limiting factor.
I'm thinking it would be useful, productive and convienient for peeps to be able to pull up a list of topics from the latest newsletter, pick a topic or two, and get straight into the relevant threads with their input.
Just an idea. Keep up the good work, CCP Blowout.
P.S. If you let us know where they're holding you maybe we can slip a few crusts of bread under the door ;)
I support SP rollover.
