And yes I do have tickets...My Questions will be LOUD and AS Follows..." Where are your promises of the game you so richly described last year here at Fan Fest??? Do you have better ideas on what you promised us last year that you could not deliver, Is that why it is taking you so long??? How come you could you not deliver anything you promised but two new racial Assault Rifles, and a patch completely untested by your community, delivery date of said patch TBA, with the introduction of a full set of changes and the "Other Half" of the Racial Suits.... What can you tell us "This Year" that will keep a player base that has fallen off because of a severe lack of "New Player Experience" and a lack of delivery?

Have fun being a d1ck on FanFest then, if that's what you like to do.

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 on the whole. 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.

And you still wont get a response... CCP has to know they ****** up at this point and is trying to do damage control with the skeleton crew they have left in Shanghai..

Its not just PS4 games people will be turning to its PC and Xbox One as well especially any kb/m players who are left they aren't going to stick around and continue to be ignored and **** on patch after patch especially with competitive style games on the horizon like TitanFall, Destiny and Elderscrolls Online..

I predict 3k players max by June even with the inherent failure that 1.8 will bring..

Titanfall is just call of duty with mechs and it's not even an exclusive game, destiny is just a halo clone with boring looking gameplay and a wonky art style and the elderscrolls is going to bomb because of the insane price.
60$ game plus 15$ a month subscription? Now add in microtransactions to that plus the fact it's going to be awful fetch quests with mediocre skyrim style combat and it'll be f2p and soon dead like swtor. Monocle gate messed eve up too. No one likes microtransactions in subscription games. It took people a few days to come back to dust from that clusterfail called ghosts.

I'm going to read you some quotes about Eve Online in the Eve Online: Into the Second Decade collector's edition book, maybe help you reflect on how stupid this goal of yours is going to be.



You're literally going to go down in history as the laughing stock that players a decade from now will say, "Boy, does that guy feel stupid."

Listen bro, I used to be like you (hell, I still joke about this very thing) but what you have to understand is that CCP Shanghai made the same exact mistakes that CCP Iceland made.. Over-hyping concepts and designs that were not even close to being finished, unrealistic and half-thought. They, like all human beings, learn from their experiences and I can almost guarantee that they won't make that mistake this year (I've even got permission from the CPM to virtually choke a ***** if they do).

Holding onto past experiences should be done for the lulz. It should be the sarcastic running joke that's meant to semi-politely jab at the guys at CCP in a way similar to, "Hey, remember when we did -THAT-? Remember when we made that terrible decision? Boy were we young!" but it should never be used as a grudge, lest you not only make yourself look like the world's biggest, most self-entitled douche (I mean, really, who are you to tell them how to run THEIR game?) but it also serves to accomplish nothing but demoralize the developers who, just like you, are trying their best.

Now, take a step back and think about how this is going to go over.

If you're entirely serious about coming to Fanfest and being from a news organization, I might recommend you shoot an email to CCP Manifest ( [email protected] ).

And they will answer with...









































Soon(tm)

To extend on your argument, I'd like to add on this:

If anyone went and looked at CCPGames.com and looked at all the positions they're hiring for the Shanghai division, they'd know that CCP is doing everything in their power to turn things around and speed up the development process. I think everyone needs to understand that these guys have (up until the recent holidays) been burning through -monthly- point releases; that's no easy task and I'm sure all of the developers have felt the grind from that.

Then of course there are members of the community that chastize them for having extended holidays... With that kind of acid-spewing, you can't immediately wonder why CCP is more often silent then not xD

Well I have a card up my sleeve... I am in from San Antonio News :)

no, it's not okay with me. certainly if they know they can't deliver. but honestly I trust ccp, perhaps it's a flaw of character, but I like to think that they aren't intentionally deceiving the customer. it's a judgement call that each of us has to make, can ccp deliver the product? if you say "no" why are you still here? our building is a little behind schedule, is it too far behind to be worth it? that's a question I can't answer for you.

.... It's only accomplishment is that it has no competition on the market. This is why I am still here.

So? Unless you're from CNN, no one cares.

I need to hear more about how people are disappointing overall from CCP Shanghai and Dust. It makes me feel god.

... CCP Logibro ... I can only imagine what he really feels about us sometimes.

Ya I saw that they are looking to hire plenty of programmers, why did it take them so long to figure out that they were so behind and needed better or more people?

I know this is way off topic but I can't stand unintelligent ignorance first you don't know **** about Destiny no one does yet, second you obviously don't know what the he'll you're talking about when referring to micro transactions in Elder Scrolls Online the devs have already crushed that rumor.. And im sorry $60 is expensive to you because the $100 collectors edition has already sold out at multiple retailers so much for no one playing elder scrolls ? Set your fanboy aside and realize if Dust devs dont pull thier heads out of thier ass no one ia going to even think about playing Dust in the months to come it has already been happening among vetrean players and teams ..
