Hi Rinzler. Let me address some of your points - - Players do get heard. ... There are several lines of communication between players and Developers - to say otherwise is simply not true. ... On the topic of respecs, I have mentioned in numerous threads that a decision has not yet been reached and that I'll provide you with an update when I know more. For the record - the CPM are also pushing on this. :) ... - We are absolutely holding ourselves accountable and question everything we are doing. ... The arrival of CCP Rouge has completely revamped our Development Process and I've never felt more confident in the future of DUST (even though I've only been here for about 6 months!)....
I've been reading the forums for some time now and I see quite a bit of repetition of the same points, complaints and questions. It's a bit chaotic and disorganized and it's easy to see how someone could miss the fact that their complaints and questions have already been addressed, albeit not definitively. So many threads are published so fast that many of these just quickly disappear on to page 3 or 4. If you're only looking at the forums once a week, you could easily miss them.
CCP has answered these questions several times in different places, there has been no decision on the respec/refund yet and we'll get an answer by mid-march. And no one should have to answer the same questions over and over. Have pity on them for f@ck sake! You can either be patient or move on, your choice. They have a list of problems a mile long and they're prioritising and handling them as fast as they can with all the resources they can muster. And, what's worse, they have to do everything as a group/team. No one can do anything alone in a company as there's a hierarchy there and these things take time.

If I were a dev I wouldn't exactly be foaming at the mouth to interact with a playerbase that continuously belittled and berated me and what I was doing with an onslaught of negativity and pessimism while not really offering anything constructive. I'd rather just knuckle down and do my job. Many in the community lack empathy and forget that the devs are people too and that they are doing a job just like everyone else and if these people claim that they would be fine with visiting a community full of hatred and vile on a regular basis for their job, I call BS. Seriously, "CCP sucks...CCP fail, DUST is dead, what a joke,.......errr...CCP come talk to me!"  Yeah Ok...
A lot of us here have anger issues, myself included, and although I myself have been angered, disappointed and disillusioned at times about various aspects of DUST 514, I do think that they're on the ball now, but the sheer scale and magnitude of the problems they're facing on this megaproject is the equivalent of opening up a ten-ton can of worms. They must be saying something like: "Where the hell do we start?" It's going to take them some time to clean this mess up and make something really worthwhile with it.
Be patient, we'll probably get the notes for 1.8 within a couple of weeks and Fanfest in a few months will give us even more. |
