More talent in europe/America. Game should be made in-house along side maintaining and expanding eve.
How can you build a game thats supposed to exist within another game on the other side of the world.
Lol at learning mandarin Chinese.
While I can understand the point around it being "difficult" to relocate talent from overseas (I myself was expatriated from the UK!), I have to disagree with you overall. There are incredibly talented people both at CCP Shanghai and in China as a whole.
Online computer and mobile gaming has taken Asia by storm. Having traveled around China and Korea it has been mind-boggling to observe people of all ages glued to games. I visited 5 PC Bangs (net cafes) on my recent trip to Seoul, because I'm a nerd like that. :)
Finally, DUST 514 isn't meant to exist "within" EVE Online, but more in the EVE Universe - important distinction. :) We work closely with our buddies in Reykjavik.
Edit: Mandarin Chinese is hard. I'm taking regular lessons and still suck pretty bad. But it also hasn't hampered my ability to communicate with anybody at CCP Shanghai and, as I mentioned on another thread, a lack of fluency shouldn't deter to anyone looking to apply for a role at the studio!
Thank you for shareing and sorry if I sound jaded.
Even in Closed Beta it looked like no one was really looking at feedback?
I.e. in the 2012 E3 build we had Dropships that were easy to fly and it was GREAT!!
What did CCP do??
They messed with the way dropships flew despite NO ONE wanting any changes!!
The problem is it looks like no one is paying attention to feedback?
I.e. I posted( in build 1.6) about why rail rifles needed such good hipfire, range and damage since these three factors made it look like another return of the OP tac ar but I was told to STFU by a CPM.
I posted about very fast tanks in 1.6 and was told it was all lies and then we saw it was all a true horror story.
I posted about that nerfing the swarms range by such a large factor was a bad idea but was told to be quiet.
I posted asking CCP why are tanks so fast? and got zip for responses and in fact not even a we will look at it soon blue response??
Its things like these that make folks look at the PS4 line up in response.
