CPM OPERATION AND FUNCTION
The CPM is responsible for 3 major roles within the DUST 514 development process:
a. Input into High Level Planning and Roadmaps:
The CPM will be involved in high level planning and have input into potential release roadmaps for DUST
514. The CPM in particular will be invaluable in helping CCP target user GÇ£pain pointsGÇ¥ that will require
significant resources to alleviate. The CPM, as an external entity, will be able to provide a fresh
perspective on what can be done to improve the player experience in DUST 514. The infrequent nature
of this sort of planning necessitates that this will be a sporadic activity. When planning is set to occur the
CPM will meet with the Executive Producer and other relevant parties to determine the best method for
them to contribute to the process.
b. Feedback on Team Features:
As teams develop features for a release, they are highly encouraged to share gameplay relevant features
with the CPM (using the Private CPM/CCP Forum) to get early, focus-group style feedback. The CPM is
uniquely positioned to provide timely and concise feedback, while still understanding that the proposed
features may change entirely or be cut from a release. The CPM will typically deliver their feedback to
teams within 48 hours, and a continuing dialogue will help ensure that features are as polished and
GÇ£player-proofedGÇ¥ as possible.
c. Community Advocacy:
The CPM will have an ongoing role of collecting general feedback from the community and high profile
players. Their dual role as council members and players allows them a much greater ability to gather the
best opinions and ideas of the player base from sources beyond the official DUST 514 forum. Their
advocacy can take the form of official programs, analysis of the CPM council forums, and just general
player opinion picked up in the course of day-to-day play
And if you're wondering why most of the CPM has been quite lately is because of this.
A) We have no roadmap and CCP didn;t do most of the things on the last roadmap ..
B) OP Weapons, failed vehicle balance, failed balance in general, bad maps, no development on NPE, no development on gamemodes,matchmaking, no fixes of current gamemodes eg PC District locking/FW LP rewards ..
C) Seeing as there have been countless posts about the issues mentioned in point B yet they still haven't been adressed by CCP clearly indicates that the CPMs aren't grasping the opinions, thoughts, ideas of the community as a whole otherwise we wouldn't be in the situation we are in !!
Actions speak louder than words so quite frankly I don;t give a rats arse about what you claim to have been doing behind the scenes as you have nothing to back up that you've actually been doing it.
The current CPMs are just a bunch of yes men/women and your weakness is a key reason why this games development has been so slow and why there are alot of problems with it that should've been sorted months ago !!!
I'm sick and tired of listening to your crap, if the NDA prevents you from giving any information whatsoever or even discussing potential changes with the community then .. get the NDA changed .. you need to start fighting for the community instead of brownosing CCP
We need CPMS with balls who wont just pander to CCPs every whim liek the current CPM .. this is what happens when you have a body that isn;t elected .. your accountable to CCP and CCP alone and you cannot have a system like that in place when your supposed to be working on behalf of the players !!! Players should have the ability to remove CPMs who they believe aren;t doing a good job on their behalf that way CPM will always be looking to make sure that everything they do is generally wanted by the playerbase
