Pokey Dravon OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 1803	Posted - 2014.03.22 05:07:00 - [1] - Quote IGÇÖve been putting a lot of thought lately into the CPM and what they do and IGÇÖve come up with two important questions: What makes for a GOOD CPM member? And what makes for an EFFECTIVE CPM member? While the answers to these questions are similar, they both need to be addressed separately. Someone who may seem like a GOOD candidate may not be very effective. A GOOD CPM A good CPM must act as both the funnel and the filter for the voice and will of the playerbase. It is their duty to collect and compress the ideas and concerns presented by the community and then filter them so the most important and valuable information comes out. They do this by having a deep and strong understanding of all aspects of the game and EVE universe as well as the general will of the people. Even more importantly they must be capable of setting their own personal opinions aside, and be open to the idea of changing their opinion. I've been playing Dust since the E3 beta giveaway in 2012. For the duration of that period, I've worked to support the game the same way EVE has always been supported by the playerbase. Constantly scouring the forums and speaking with players, I've combined their ideas into various reports and discussions to better present those ideas to a wider audience or to those players who don't have the time or energy to read the forums as heavily. More importantly, feedback from the community has even made me change my own opinion on several occasions. I listened to other voices and didn't take opposing opinions as attacks, but as new ideas to funnel and filter into the presentations I assemble. These updates and revisions create a holistic finished product that shows a wider perspective of the Dust community. I believe that the CPM is not about pushing my own ideas, but rather the best ideas of the community as a whole. Dust is OUR game, not just my game, and I want to hear what you have to say. I will be a good member of the CPM. AN EFFECTIVE CPM It is important to realize that just being a good CPM is not enough, they must also be an effective CPM. An effective CPM is more than just a conduit of the community, they must also have a deeper understanding of their role in the development of Dust. They must understand that problems are never solved with a silver bullet, and that death by a thousand cuts is the only balanced way to resolve issues. Every change affects the game in countless other ways, and fully understanding those interactions is the key to understanding the development process. Taking the suggestions from the community is the first step, but knowing how they should be implemented is what separates an effective CPM from the rest. I've seen Dust grow from its most humble roots in the early days of closed beta. I've seen moments of brilliance and moments of complete failure for the past two years, and I've seen what works and what doesn't. I've done a lot of analysis of gameplay, crunching the numbers and helping others better understand the game. However I also understand that simply looking at changes on paper isn't enough, and I never form an opinion about a change until I've experienced it firsthand. The CPM needs people who can offer balanced, well formulated analysis, but also offer experienced and practical advice and suggestions from the perspective of the players. I have the experience and knowledge necessary to fulfill these roles and that is why I am not only a Good CPM, but an Effective one as well. I am open to any questions you might have and I look forward to having a great discussion with all of you. The decision to run has been a long in the making and I'm excited to move forward and show everyone what I'm capable of! Related Threads of Interest to highlight some of the work I've done.

Jaysyn Larrisen OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 836	Posted - 2014.03.22 08:23:00 - [5] - Quote Pokey, Glad you've decided to put yourself forward for CPM1 and welcome to the campaign. For the record: if you are reading this it will be fairly obvious that Pokey and I are in the same Corp. I've known him for nearly a year and do a fair amount of work with him within OSG on various corp business. That said I encourage the community to engage and challenge Pokey. Check his posts out, offer counter points, disagree and show why...you'll see a guy that can set aside his own personal position and work to better understand where you are coming from and account for your experiences and desires for Dust. To that end...let's begin: Pokey, can you give your assessment and projection of the impacts that the 1.8 patch will have on Dust? The good and the bad? Additionally, here are a few specific questions for you (same as I pose to all candidates): 1) Other than the forums how do you intend to collect and communicate requests, needs, POV of the community? In particular, those outside your corp / alliance. 2) What level of interaction would you like to establish between the CPM and CSM? 3) What are the top 3 short term (next 2mo's) changes you would encourage CCP to make? I'm looking for concrete examples that are realistic to achieve. 4) What are the top 3 mid term (next 6mo's) changes you would encourage CCP to make? 5) In Spring of 2015, when CPM1's term is up, what would you want people to have said about your tenure as a CPM member? 6) Will you be creating a channel for folks to meet and sqd with you during the period before the election? Thank you for your time. "Endless money forms the sinews of War." - Cicero Skype: jaysyn.larrisen

Pokey Dravon OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 1814	Posted - 2014.03.25 08:00:00 - [7] - Quote 1) Other than the forums how do you intend to collect and communicate requests, needs, POV of the community? In particular, those outside your corp / alliance. Open discussion is key to the collection of ideas and I love hearing peoples' ideas. I certainly can't think of everything myself, and admittedly some of my ideas are not perfect. More often than not, brilliantly simple and effective answers come from the most humble of ideas, and I want to hear as many of those as I can. Text chat channels are always a great way to connect with players, especially on PC where I can read messages left when I'm not there. But many people have limited or no access to a PC. Because of that I'd love to have in-game chat channels as well regular sessions where people can meet with me to talk about their ideas and suggestions or simply answer questions I might have about their opinion on certain issues. The key is to make that open discussion available to as many people as possible so I can collect as many potentially good ideas as possible. 2) What level of interaction would you like to establish between the CPM and CSM? The integration between Dust and EVE is an important topic because it is what sets Dust apart from the competition. This connection however is poorly showcased which is a large reason that Dust currently appears somewhat bland to many players. I'll go into more detail about showcasing this connection later in the post, however because Dust and EVE share the same universe, CPM and CSM must work together. We understand Dust far better than any EVE player will, just as they understand EVE far better than we ever will. Therefor in order to move forward both councils need to have serious talks about what kind of features each community would like and be able to openly exchange these ideas so that they mesh well together. Obviously we don't want EVE features to negatively affect our gameplay, just as they don't want Dust to negatively affect EVE. It will be a long and delicate process, but the sooner we establish a working relationship with each other, the earlier we can start making New Eden the best gaming universe on the market. 3) What are the top 3 short term (next 2mo's) changes you would encourage CCP to make? I'm looking for concrete examples that are realistic to achieve. Enhancing the New Player Experience. - The key to a survivable game is its ability to retain new players. I believe that while this should always an ongoing process to continually improve the new player experience, however there are several short term improvements that can be made. Overhauling the tutorial system to be more than just a series of text blocks (Videos would be preferable) would work wonders in helping new players feel less lost. Also a reworking of how the Academy game mode works is a clear stepping stone in providing a better learning experience to new players. Vehicle and AV Balance Issues - Addressing the balance between Vehicle and Anti-Vehicle combat. It is very clear the the community feels there is a severe imbalance between vehicles and AV since the 1.7 update and I personally agree as well. This is a problem which is affecting game play in such an extreme fashion that it is severely degrading the overall enjoyability of the game and thus it needs to be addressed asap. While I feel the concepts behind vehicles are solid, increasing the effectiveness of AV weapons would be a good first step in balancing this problem. This is however just the first step in balancing this very important issue. General Bug Fixes - There are a lot of lesser known but nonetheless problematic glitches that exist in the game. While these small to moderate glitches may seem small on their own, there is such a large number of them that it degrades the quality of the play experience. A solid amount of time and effort should be spent to hammer out the backlog of bugs that have been steadily building up over the years. A couple examples that come to mind right now is the inability to mute certain players on your team, problems while reloading railgun turrets, as well as various graphical glitches.

Pokey Dravon OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 1814	Posted - 2014.03.25 08:13:00 - [8] - Quote 4) What are the top 3 mid term (next 6mo's) changes you would encourage CCP to make? Player vs Enemy game modes - The community has been asking for this type of game mode for about as long as I can remember. Not only would this give players an enjoyable co-op experience, but would also help to give new players the ability to train up skills and earn ISK in a safer environment, much like High Security Missions in EVE. While Dust should maintain its meaningful combat, there is also something to be said about getting together with a bunch of friends and tearing apart endless waves of rogue drones over some drinks. Additional PvP Game Modes - So far GÇ£newGÇ¥ PvP game modes have been essentially remixes of existing game modes without offering anything that feels all too different. Skirmish also does not really feel like a true Attack/Defense situation where one side is clearly defending against attackers. Players have been calling for the revival of GÇ£Skirmish 1.0GÇ¥ which was essentially a progressive battle where attackers had to move from one side of the map to capture the enemy outpost while the defenders attempted to repel the attack. Much of the playerbase, particularly those who fondly remember the game mode from the Closed Beta, would love to see an updated version of this type of Progressive game mode. In addition, it would make Faction Warfare and Planetary Conquest feel like a true invasion, rather than 2 sides both attacking the same objective Meaningful Interaction with New Eden - As stated before, the connection to the New Eden universe is what is going to set Dust514 apart from other shooter games out there. Faction Warfare was a step in the right direction and hopefully Update 1.8 will bring about even more meaning behind every battle. We can't just stop there though. Planetary Conquest needs to serve a purpose beyond ISK generation and should encourage more interaction between EVE alliances other than basic POS enhancements. While this may require more complicated systems within the game, it needs to be a focus of development in the mid and long term roadmap. This is another example of where CPM and CSM must work together to move the development of these systems forward in order to give a more fulfilling and satisfying experience on both sides. But again, we can't just stop there. Even random battles, Hi-Sec battles, need to feel important to the player and work to showcase advanced game modes such as FW and PC. While the results of these battles are not persistent, they should serve as an appetizer to the meatier parts of the game. These random battles should work to make the player care about what is going on in New Eden, and encourage them to engage in the parts of the game that are persistent. As they stand now, 5) In Spring of 2015, when CPM1's term is up, what would you want people to have said about your tenure as a CPM member? I won't try to tell you that all of Dust's problems will be fixed in a year because anyone who says that is a liar. However what we can do in a year is change the direction this game is going and get it moving in the right direction. Setting the stage for future CPM should be CPM1's focus. I want players next year to look back on the work we do and say, GÇ£CPM1 is the council that got Dust moving in the direction it needed to go and needs to continue going.GÇ¥ 6) Will you be creating a channel for folks to meet and sqd with you during the period before the election? Yes! Expect details in the next few days, but you are always welcome to contact me via Skype leowen.dravon or message me via in-game mail. I'm also more readily reachable via my EVE alt, Rayne Dravon. Rising Dust - Dust514 Training Video

They've taken a huge divergence from what they were, from not having a real role to having a strong base in Passive Scanning, while Commandos have been given the damage bonus. I'm also pleased with anyone that wants to get the community to understand the difference between Total HP and Effective HP. It's a very tough battle.

I'm also pleased with anyone that wants to get the community to understand the difference between Total HP and Effective HP. It's a very tough battle. I'm quite pleased that the Scouts and Commandos have found their role, I feel that we are finally are starting to get to a point where the suits feel like they have a solid an defined purpose on the battlefield, and I think that holds true for the Sentinels now as well. The issue is of course the Assaults and Logistics now. I think the Logistics are better off than the Assaults, but they both could use some additional work. Aside from some minor adjustments, I don't want to nerf the Commando/Scout/Sentinel because I think they're getting really close to where they need to be. I would prefer the Assaults have a clearer, more defined role that gives players a good reason to pick them over other classes. What those advantages are is up to discussion, but I would likely give them some sort of damage bonus for all light/sidearms (less of a bonus than Commando but have it applied to all weapons instead of racial versions) as well as a racial bonus to boost their survivability for that particular race. It would give the Assaults a nice balance of attack and defense, making them flexible and adaptable DPS class. Like my ideas? Pokey Dravon for CPM1

Cheers, Cross Honestly the events at fanfest invigorated me even more than I was before. Legion presents several opportunities for both Legion and Dust. Legion, because it is a fresh start where the mistakes made with Dust can be learned from and avoided in the development of a new foundation to create the game we have wanted for the past 5 years. Dust, because we have moved into a position where we have CCP Rattatai, who is more like a player and less like a Dev, making the kinds of choices needed to make Dust a more enjoyable experience for the players. I am hopeful that I can assist in both of these endeavors and give Legion the guidance it needs, and give Dust the support we deserve. Like my ideas? Pokey Dravon for CPM1

So you want to know why IGÇÖm running for CPM? Because I want to do everything I can to take care of my family. Just to follow up, When you say you want to take care of your family, you are referring to the entire Dust community, and not just your alliance, correct? Just to eliminate any ambiguity in the way that can be interpreted. Haha sorry I didn't think it would be taken that way. I mean the entire Dust and future Legion community. Like my ideas?

However it is an abstract concept, so what I would like is to hear your definition of community. No right or wrong answers here, just looking to get a better feel of where you are coming from. An excellent question Llast. Its refreshing to get questions that dive more into what kind of person the candidates are and not just touching on opinions of game mechanics. Many people outside OSG may not know this, but OSG is just a branch of a much larger gaming community that spans across multiple platforms and games. We often have players from different games who log into our forums just to chat and hang out, despite not being into the same games. I think this is really where the sense of what a community comes from. A community is more than just a group of players, it is a culture, and more important it is a family (albeit a dysfunctional one at times ). Families are made up of all kinds of people; you have the troll little brother, the peacemaking older sister, the insane cousin, the quiet stepsister, the bitter older brother, the creepy twins, ect. While theyGÇÖre often very different with very different opinions and mindsets, and it is literally impossible to make everyone completely happy all the time, you do your best because theyGÇÖre still part of this messed up family. So while you may not always get along with everyone in the family, and sometimes be trying to strangle the life out of each other, we keep coming back here for a reason.

That was what I thought, but I know we've had our communities misconstrued readings before so i thought I'd go for the clarification KRRROOOOOOM
