Cross Atu OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 2047	Posted - 2014.05.19 05:26:00 - [1] - Quote Playerbase, it's the life- blood of an online based game, its growth and stability are vital to the overall health of the game and communication between development and players is central to the role of a CPM, and to my focus as a CPM1 candidate. The ability to find and communicate pertinent information to CCP regarding the game and the players is foundational to the work of a CPM. The inverse is also true, even with the NDA present it is important for a CPM to make best efforts to fill in the gaps between Dev posts and keep the community as informed as possible to maintain a high level of useful feedback from the players. Emergent Game-play - The fundamental draw of a persistent sandbox game, regardless of type, is emergent game-play. Stated simply, it is the ability of players to make their own choices and define their own play experience. A pillar of emergent game-play is player driven content, which requires robust tools to truly flourish. I intend to continue to push for more data, more social management tools, and additional flexibility and customization both in and out of match so that players can get the most out of their time both in Dust and moving into Legion on PC & PS4. Which brings me to platform integration. I play on both console and PC, I've enjoyed both experience and firmly believe in the idea of Legion coming to both PC and PS4. While I acknowledge that this is a long term goal as Legion is not even in beta state yet, I do not believe it is too early to keep a dual platform approach in mind even as CCPs choice of PC focused development moves forward. *In short, I hope to foster development choices that are not only good for the game, but support an expanded community on both* the PS4 and PC in the coming days of Legion.** I welcome questions from the community regarding my candidacy, my general profile is included below for reference.

Cross Atu OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 2047	Posted - 2014.05.19 05:26:00 - [2] - Quote Profile: Cross Atu Real Life Qualifications: Prior community liaison/rep experience for MMORPG (Hellgate: London), including interacting with the community, gathering ideas and information and creation of executive summaries Communication: Skype: Cross Atu Chat Channel: CPM1 Candidate Email: CrossAtu69[at]gmail[dot]com EVE character: Cross Lui Greine Expectations: To maximize CPM status as a stake-holder in the continuing development of Dust-Legion via open communication with CCP, the CSM and fellow CPM members. I have held a similar community position before and this position will no doubt contain some of the same long hours, stress and frustration, but it will also contain a rewarding opportunity to participate in seeing a game I've been playing since its early beta stages reach more of its potential. I do not expect to agree with every idea presented by my fellow CPMs, nor all of those selected by CCP, I do however expect to be able to work with them in a broad way for the health and value of the game regardless of our individual play styles, meta interests, or personalities. In game, the mentality "if it's red it's dead" serves well in field combat, in chambers - as in the feedback forums - it is important to put dispassionate analysis, open discourse, and courtesy for ideas contrary to your own, at the forefront. If serving as a member of the CPM I will debate stronger for the choices I believe most support the game and the community, but I will do so with the firm intention not to let such debates degenerate into non-productive arguments. *The CPM is about the players voice* not about any council members ego. Experience with NDAGÇÖs: I have operated under NDAGÇÖs Availability:Fluctuating, primary afternoons/evenings Mountain Standard Time. DUST based Experience: Closed beta veteran. Dabbled in most roles Dust has to offer. Long time support logistics - part of the "I'll rep you for 0 WP" club. Leadership positions within Dust corps and alliances since closed beta Participation in FW, PC, and tournament. Extensive testing across specialized alts, including a 0 SP alt for direct testing of the NPE and raw stats/effect of base gear. Active recruitment and training of players new to Dust. DUST Community Contributions:** (examples include) Participation in the training grounds. Participation in feedback and testing since closed beta. DUST Priorities: - Continued Dust development - Building more sandcastles (player choices) into the sandbox - New Player Exprience - Supporting information exchange between CCP and the community. - Improving PC, bugs, playability, and economic balance. - Polishing game wide balance - Supporting continuing community events. EVE Experience: 2 years, and counting, in EVE with four accounts spanning skill sets in Science, Production, Mining, Mission Running, Hauling, Trading, and the joys of W-Space. Legion Priorities: Emergent Game play Persistence (transfer of meaningful char aspects to Legion)[list] Vetran Priority moving from Dust 514 to Legion Transparency from CCP with the community EVE:O - Dust/Legion Link NPE Tiericide Player tools (UI polish and accessibility with an eye to cross platform usability) Gaming Background: Gamer since 1987 across multiple genres including; RTS, FPS, RPG, MMO, roguelike and console titles (starting with Frogger on the Atari) too numerous to list.

Cross Atu OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 2047	Posted - 2014.05.19 05:30:00 - [3] - Quote In an effort to be proactive I have gathered questions asked of the other candidates by Jaysyn Larrisen and answered them here for community perusal. 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. In game mail, EVE mail, Skype, e-mail. Communication is important and I'm not ruling out any specific methods at this time. It is one of my foremost goals to let the community know that if they are encountering a problem, or a possibility, they can bring information (the more and clearer the better) about it to me and I will give the matter my attention and/or pass it along to the correct party. In short I seek to be a conduit for effective communication between the community and CCP. 2) What level of interaction would you like to establish between the CPM and CSM? I am in full support of CPM/CSM interaction to find points of symbiosis within the ongoing development of Dust-Legion and EVE:O. Ideally New Eden will be more than a name or shared IP it will be a truly shared sandbox for a growing number of sovereign games from CCP. If this is to be accomplished I see representation from the CSM, CPM, and eventually like bodies from other titles suck as Valkyrie, to be of vital import. 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. Revisions to PC - This is a large goal but it's been in the works for some time now, I'd strongly advocate it be finished and rolled out. Reabeling Corp Battles - Unless there is an unknown technical barrier to this I would strongly push for this community tool to be returned and once again in the hands of community content creators Balance Polish - There are various areas that could use some polish when it comes to balance but at this point which one is addressed matters less than CCP demonstrating in the wake of Fanfest that they are still committed to balancing and polishing the game. 4) What are the top 3 mid term (next 6mo's) changes you would encourage CCP to make? [list=1] Addition of new content - CCPs current statements seem to indicate that new weapons etc are still on the table and I'd like to see things like the heavy weapons, equipment offerings etc filled out more completely within the next 6 months. As a member of the CPM I'd continue to push for what server side updates encompass and strive to help expedite the continued delivery of new content to Dust 514 even in the face of current development resources. A new socekt set - This is admittedly a bit of a long shot with the current state of development, however in light of the value added by the last map/socket addition to Dust I'd encourage CCP to give strong consideration to releasing another map/socket update within the next 6-8 months. Have CCP publish a clear road map regarding the planned progression from Dust into Legion so that players can continue to make informed persistent choices in the face of the upcoming transition down the road.

Cross Atu OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 2047	Posted - 2014.05.19 05:32:00 - [4] - Quote 5)What aspect or features in Legion that you've heard of are you most interested in working on? What features discussed so far are you most concerned about and why? The progression system and item life-cycle both interest me greatly, I find them to hold a lot of promise so long as we makes sure they aren't watered down or oversimplified. While I consider it vital to preserve player choice and customization of skills, gear, and play style I do not believe that means the system has to be inaccessible or otherwise adversely impact the NPE. I look forward to working with CCP Z and the CPM to find ways we can 'have our cake and eat it too' regarding complexity and accessibility. The two areas that currently concern me the most with regards to Legion are; 1. Dust-Legion persistence. Maintaining strong and clear value transfer of characters currently active in Dust as they move to Legion. The community has put a lot of time, energy, and in many cases money, into Dust and I consider it imperative that those investments be meaningfully carried over into Legion. A simple transfer of cosmetic elements such as name and employment history alone will not suffice and the more resoundingly CCP unequivocally states that transfers will contain the tangible value of things like SP and assets which we've all worked so hard for the better. 2. Respecs - While I would readily support a one time only, non-bankable respec for characters coming out of the academy I am adamantly opposed to limitless respecs within Dust or indeed any New Eden game. A detailed analysis would create a huge wall of text but I'll give the summation here; [b]If CCP is providing the robust NPE, transparent communication, and continuing balance that they should be respecs past the academy will not be needed. Further limitless respecs will damage the economy, emergent game play, long term player retention and create artifical barriers between Legion and other New Eden games. Limitless respecs also disadvantage newer players. (More info) 6) 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? That I was able to effectively work with my contemporaries in the CPM and CSM to facilitate growth in the player base, added fun value and ultimately a net optimistic outlook regarding the future of Dust-Legion. At minimum I'd hope that all could agree I'd played a positive role in fostering transparency from CCP and communication with the community at large. 7) Will you be creating a channel for folks to meet and squad with you during the period before the election? I am a participant in the CPM1 Candidate channel and welcome anyone who is interested to find me there. I will be happy to make time for squads and conversations with my fellow mercs in the lead up to the elections. Cross Atu for CPM1- An emergent candidate
Pokey Dravon OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 2044	Posted - 2014.05.19 05:46:00 - [5] - Quote Good to see you finally pulled the trigger and decided to go for it. We have always had good conversations and debates about the game, mostly because we don't really agree on everything. However you have always been extremely civil and open to discussion and new ideas and we've reached some really solid conclusions because of it. Because of that I've always valued your opinion as a very honest perspective which forces me to really examine my own ideas. That being said you would be a reliable voice of reason for the CPM and I hope you gain the support you deserve in your campaign. Like my ideas? Pokey Dravon for CPM1

Considering the activity you've each had within the community and your willingness to voice both your concerns and ideas couldn't have asked for a better opening to this thread. I look forward to running with each of you in the lead up to the election, and who knows maybe we'll be seeing a lot more of each other after that Mean time I'd love to start touching base a bit more often, CPM tag or no we can work collaboratively towards a healthy Dust and I think you'll agree when I say now is a key time to do that.

Jaysyn Larrisen OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 1024	Posted - 2014.05.19 14:16:00 - [16] - Quote Cross, Really glad you stepped up for a run at CPM. You've always been about providing positive solutions and you have an intuitive grasp of how mechanics will work & be received by the player base writ large. From a personal communication standpoint you've always been able to articulate positions with logic, maturity, and humor...even when you are in a potentially volatile discussion. I really think it's bodes well that high quality candidates are continuing to step up (almost daily in fact) post FanFest to work for the community and the game. So, since you snagged most of my normal questions I'll have to present you with a couple more... 1) Based on your current observations what do you anticipate being the single most difficult issue for the CPM to deal with in regards to Dust? And for Legion? 2) What are a couple areas that you are eager to work jointly with the CSM on the EVE side? 3) Top 3 specific balance issues you want fixed in the next server side patch to hit Dust?

Quote: Thank you Jay, you're right I've seen possibilities in the FanFest announcement even if it was handled poorly, but I also know that potential and tangible aren't synonymous and that's why I feel now is so key a time to get involved in providing the community with more tangible examples of that potential being actualized. Quote: So, since you snagged most of my normal questions I'll have to present you with a couple more... 1) Based on your current observations what do you anticipate being the single most difficult issue for the CPM to deal with in regards to Dust? And for Legion? Currently I believe continuing to provide value added developments within Dust will be it's hardest challenge. To put a finer point on it, doing enough in support of Dust development so that the community knows it's not a dead game is going to take work. That being said I fully believe it's an attainable goal with a strong and active CPM1. Legion is another story again, where I think the real challenge is going to be a conceptual one. That of letting the lessons of Dust 514 advise the development of Legion without limiting us to repeating the same choices (and in some case problems) simply because they are familiar. The key here, in my current perception, is to keep viewing Dust-Legion as parts of the same life cycle and taking the opportunity Dust provides to get hands on player input regarding many aspects of Legion even prior to beta (and of course moving forward throughout). Quote: 2) What are a couple areas that you are eager to work jointly with the CSM on the EVE side? Finding ways to increase the social link via FW is one that springs easily to mind, linking the games is key but those mechanics are only valuable in service to linking the players and creating a united New Eden community. There will be sub-groups to that of course, there are already such groups within EVE:O and D514 but trying to find ways no matter how large or small to make this a New Eden community would be great. Further, in light of some of the resistance and in other cases apathy expressed by blocks of EVE players regarding D514 I hope the CPM can work closely with the CSM regarding Legion moving forward so that having a new 'sibling' within New Eden is value added to EVE without making Legion a secondary or dependent project. In my view the more robust new entries into the world of New Eden are, the better for players of all the games in the long run. [quote]3) Top 3 specific balance issues you want fixed in the next server side patch to hit Dust? Well since we're talking balance issues and not bugs I believe the following are key; (but before I launch into them I'd like to invite the community to make a case for the inclusion of any balance issues I may overlook here, I play the game a lot but that doesn't make me omniscient) Cloak - I like this tool, I enjoy its presence in game and hope to see it remain viable. Having said that I think it's clear that this asset could use some polish and likely a bit of scaling back at some meta levels. I haven't tested this myself as rigorously as I'd like but the first aspect I'd look at is the ability to attack from cloak, with an eye to increasing the delay between decloak and first attack. Making weapons useful - We have a lot of content in Dust but not all of it is useful in the current game state outside of novelty. Weapons like the PLC and SL, among others, could use varying degrees of touch up to make them more legitimately viable. REs; these guys offer some great and unique play elements such as laying traps or establishing zones of control over choke-points. As with the cloak, I wouldn't want to see the RE lose it's utility but in current game state it is better at AV than many 'AV only' weapons such as the AV Nade and Proxy, as well as being a better nade than the Locus in many cases etc. I think a tone down, in light of its versatility, to the raw power of the RE is needed, perhaps in the forum of a mild to slight increase in the delay between deployment and the ability to trigger the RE shifting it more firmly into a tactical niche and out of the 'jack of all trades' position it currently holds. CR - I know I'm stepping beyond three points here, but I think it's fairly evident from both in game and looking at threads like the Min Commando thread from CCP Rattati that the CR needs some polish. I've capped out my word limit so I'll draw this to a close here, thanks Jay for the questions and helping Fox keep all CPM1 hopefuls on our toes during the lead up to the elections.

If serving as a member of the CPM I will debate stronger for the choices I believe most support the game and the community, but I will do so with the firm intention not to let such debates degenerate into non-productive arguments. *The CPM is about the players voice* not about any council members ego.** For this you will get my vote, unless of course you stick your foot in your mouth and lose it. Unfortunately I think this brings the number of candidates I would like to see on the CPM to 8, so the race is finally on. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught. For everything else there is the Learning Coalition.
