Ok, gang, the election is finally on the table with some semi-official word from the Shanghai team. Big smile

We are looking at holding a debate for the CPM1 candidates on the Biomassed podcast to help the community get to know the hopefuls a little better and let you compare and contrast them.

SO... on to the fun stuff.

1) Which candidates are you most interested in hearing from? Not just the big names but any announced candidate you are intrigued by?

2) What's your top question that you want posed to them so you can compare their answers and see how they match with the type of player you want representing you?

We are looking at the 01JUN live show as our initial debate and we want YOU the community to drive the content for the show. Pirate

(Yeah, might be asking for trouble with that one!)

As an added bit of feedback, who would like us to try to bring on and guest moderate with me when we poke, prod, and generally have a fun and informative session with the candidates?

I mean, it would not solve all the problems of the NPE, but it would be a big help. Absolutely. But tool tips are something that should be able to be turned off once a player is up to speed with the mechanics of the game. Because as I explained above being able to skip a tutorial is a bad idea, tool tips shouldn't be the only thing in an NPE. More Informative and clearer infomation presented in a permanent UI providing that much needed context will help both new and older players as well.

Hans or Beers I think would do decent at moderating, Either a person who is rather neutral, or a person who is neutral AND critises and is semi-evil but Beers won't come I'd like to hear all of the candidates who come honestly, I've heard a large amount from some, like Pokey, Soraya and Jackal but the question I want I want a response from every candidate I can get a response from. A) What Level of interaction with the other current candidates have you had? My Alts are in Real corps

Target Candidates Kevall Longstride Soraya Xel Pokey Dravon Zion Shad The most important thing to me is giving a better New Player Experience without diluting or overly simplifying the Veteran Player Experience. 'Easy to Understand' doesn't necessarily mean 'Simplified' which is my opinion differs from CCP Z's. Complicated systems such as the skill system by default should hide unrelated information to avoid confusion (Such as skills not associated with the role the player is viewing, see example here https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2169542#post2169542) but allow advanced players to easily un-hide that information if they want. Layers of Information allows for systems to be complex and deep, without new players being in over their heads in terms of information. Ease of information consumption is extremely important, but I cannot stress enough how important it is that new players get into the action as soon as possible. FPS players in general do not want to sit through endless text boxes reading about the game, that is why hands on experience is so important. Keep in mind I don't necessarily mean throwing them into a PvP situation right off the bat, and that is why PvE is such a useful tools. After creating their character, players should be immediately deployed into a single player instance of the game and teach them basic combat and systems through actual combat against drones, and not just a series of dialogue boxes. I would also like to see a similar system to the Career Funnel in which players are given a handful of pre-fit suits for each role and placed into PvE combat situations where they can try out that role and perform tasks unique to that role (Repairing an installation as a Logi for example). This sort of hands on experience is what keeps training engaging but also informative. Even something as simple as what MAG had for Training would do wonders. For systems that cannot be explained via combat, such as Fitting, the Layers of Information concept is extremely important. Things like "Suggested Modules" to help players learn what makes sense for the suit, role, a race they're using. Also outlined in the above link is a conceptual design for helping guide new players through the skill system by hiding unnecessary skills. Again this all comes back to Layers of Information. While I find the proposed matchmaking a little vague, it sounds interesting and I hope it does help to curb the Proto-stomping. However I also think pushing for multiple tiers of difficulty for PvE missions will go a long way in giving newer players a safe haven to hone their skills and get some SP and money before jumping into the fray with the rest of us. Like my ideas? Pokey Dravon for CPM1

(Which would be dependent on an earlier time) We would seriously like to have you on for an episode or two. Would be great to hear some of your perspective on how Dust can continue to be refined within the current constraints and your long term thoughts on the development of Legion. We do try to stay at the same live broadcast time, however, we totally understand the timezone crunch that some folks get into and we are looking at a couple different options. It's a pretty common problem with podcasts as you can imagine. "Endless money forms the sinews of War." - Cicero Skype: jaysyn.larrisen Twitter: @JaysynLarrisen
