The game has improved in some areas since the original closed beta, and in other ways it has catapulted backwards. In the end, I'd say it was a wash overall in terms of progress, and that the current build is probably the least enjoyable build yet for me personally.
As far as customer service is concerned, I've been burnt by CCP a few too many times with their false promises and bait & switch tactics on their real world currency goods to give them anything other than a big fat F-. The only reason I haven't started playing Eve: Online has been their overall terrible customer service here in Dust 514. |

Alright, let's break down this list:
5 minutes minimum just to log on.
5 minutes to load contacts just to make a squad.
Resets every third game and 5 more minutes to log on.
Basic minor bug fixes.
More suits
More weapons
Glorified new skins with minor stat tweaks, no real impact on basic gameplay.
More maps
Well, that's a decent addition, I'll agree that all new maps are welcome even if we've gotten very few of them.
PC
So broken less than 2% of the player base plays in it.
FW
Just Instant Battle skirmishes with it's own queue.
Corps
This was added what, an entire year ago
ISK transfers
Touche
Fitting glitches that needed resets that took 5 minutes to log on.
Horribly crippling lag in every game mode.
Horrible hit direction.
More basic bug fixes.
The sounds are different but overall better.
Bland but looks better.
Better visual effects.
Better UI
All minor updates with little to no impact on the gameplay.
Squad Finder
A solid improvement.
Better leader boards
Cosmetic, no effect on gameplay.
Over all better performance
Behind the scenes stuff, important but not the sort of thing that keeps player around and draws new players in.
Quote: Those are just the things I can think of and yes some are borked up and yes there are some vehicles or maps missing but overall we have made progress. To think otherwise is an appeal to tradition. You may not be happy with the progress or agree with what was released or how but you cannot honestly say that there has been no progress.
As for CCP and their customer service, they do listen and do what they can to use our suggestions and feedback. CCP does reply to tickets and deal with them appropriately. Don't let frustration with how you think the game should be developed cloud what has happened and the progress we have made. Call me whatever you like but progress has been made and the progress made was player influenced feedback through the CPM and from CCP reading the forums.
If that's the best list you've got for what they've done over the last year, I don't see how you can't agree that they've made relatively little progress. It really is a pathetic list of improvements for a game that is as devoid of basic content as this. |
