I still cant believe they have got people to believe that it takes 2 years to produce a suit that runs .X m/s faster and takes Y HP more damage and some weapons that vary in a similar matter. This is not even touching vehicles.
we have heard
"its art and that takes time"
then
"the assets have be done long ago" but still nothing
then
"balance" that one really is funny given this game
then
"new EP" dont know what a change at the top has to do with producing basic content which should have been there from launch.
I enjoy this game and will probably continue to play until something else comes along and totally consumes my time. Even in the state its in I still enjoy playing but CCP really should understand that people are sick of the excuses and would just like to see progress or at least hear valid reasons why somethings arent happening.
On basic content - there are no excuses, there is no reasoning. They just need to deliver as soon as possible and then move into the new phase of building for the future expansions.

Fraceska wrote:You have finite number of resources in an office. So Master Smurf for this Socratic Exercise you're going to be the office manager. You have your staff that you now need to divide into teams. Like artists, programmers and testers/balances (whatever you want to call them). You currently have multiple projects on your plate and 50 employees.
1. Introducing new content (armor, guns, maps)
2. Balancing Content (New and old)
3. Art and design for all projects
4. Managing interaction with the player base
These are just broad categories, refine them as you wish. Not every project is finished. You and your staff work on average 8-10 hours per day. You have 30 days to refine as much as you can before having to release this content. Each person will work between 240 - 300 hours per month. More if you force overtime every single day of the week. Now this your show. How do you divide your assets?
What does that have to do with communicating with the public if you have staff devoted to that aspect.
So stuff slipped because changes in focus needed to be made - do you think Soon (tm) is an appropriate response for months. Then why employ anyone to fill those roles, just post soon until your next development is done.
I also dont understand how you plan to launch a product and you cant get your basic requirements in that window, not even 3-6 months after your launch????
Things further down the roadmap I will forgive and have long since stopped most of my critical posts but on the topic of basic content I make no apologies. IMO its unacceptable.

@Heinrich Jagerblitzen - respect.
This is what people want to hear, especially the ones that have been here and heard song and dance before. That a new wind has blown through is very comforting and I hope to see the fruits of that labour in the upcoming months.

From what I've seen him post in the past he comes across as a straight shooter and even though I dont know him, I like what he posts and where he would like to see the game go.
Its not like in the past where a certain CPM seemed like de facto spokesperson, and chief defender.
Now if things continue to slip then obviously all hope in CCP's productivity will be lost and nobody will be able to vouch for them. At this point in time I choose to listen to someone I trust who is closer to the situation than us and give CCP a stay of execution

Maybe I'm a mutation, but from time to time I like to here on what they are working.
I dont think the issue is hearing "we are working on this and you will hear about it soon" - If they kept their word and we did hear about it later that week or the following one then things wouldnt be bad. You could have some faith because they did what they said.
When you hear that line time after time and nothing comes its maddening because you know it cant take that long to develop (I am just taling a bout a writeup now not a years worth of content) something for us to see. So you think to yourself, what are they really doing ???? Then you make a list of things dear to you that you wanted to see and when it builds up you get frustrated, to say the least.
I am not saying this to heap more criticism on CCP, just trying to illustrate to them how their fans feel and it goes sour.
