If CCP would provide a public API Chribba could have develop one in an hour. But I think there would be legal issues with SOE.

Wait.. so mails older than 30 days using up a few bytes is causing problems for you? Seriously...
This is REALLY dumb move. Can I advice that you do like you do in EVE instead. DON'T SHOW EMAILS OLDER THAN 30 DAYS! At least until you can code your things to actually show them.
EVE only shows you X number of mails back in time, but they're all still saved (hopefully until you guys can code to show them all to us).
Deleting the mails is the wrong way to go. Please rethink and simply limit to 30 days without deleting until you can fix it.

I have never deleted my mails, ever. Mainly because I don't want to, but also because if I tried scrolling down to the bottom I'd die of old age from it taking so long to load. I'd much prefer Chribba's idea.

I deleted all of mine, to take advantage of the supposed performance increases (send to be working btw). As much as I enjoyed them and the fun/scathing responses I sent., I get more all the time, so it's not a big loss. I was more sad to see the small minority of positive mails and GGs go.

There's a very, very simple solution: Allow locking of messages. This prevents messages with the lock toggled on from being deleted until the lock is toggled off. It's the same kind of thing they've had for texts in phones for years. Simple, effective, and it puts control in the hands of the user.

I'm going to be a lazy butt and copy-pasta my sentiment from the main thread:
My only negative:Quote:"...and implementing the following downtime jobs
* Deleting all emails older than 30 days from all players * Deleting all chat channels that have not been used in 7 days" Please please please make this optional! My (and pretty much everybody's) history in New Eden is stored in the mail. I am very happy dropping a frame or two if I can preserve the history of who I've met and what we've accomplished together.
We know where the "Delete all mail," button is. We would have pushed it a long time ago if it was something we wanted to do.
Putting this another way: I don't need CCP "helping me out" by going into my room when I'm away and tidying up by burning all my old love-letters. |

In my case, despite a significant amount of mail, my PS3 has never had particularly noticeable frame rate issues with DUST.
But I'm going to lose my mail anyways.

If somebody wants to willingly slow their client by locking a lot of messages then they should be able to, I think. Yeah, the memory problems are all client side. Really it's not the messages themselves, it's the combination of everything. They really don't need to delete them, they just need to not have them loaded into memory after you leave your MQ. Nobody cares about the performance of their fat asses sitting in the MQ; what they care about is the performance experienced during a match. Which of course that's not to say that removing mail from the equation will have much of an impact unless the person has an metric ass-ton of mails but it is still one less thing adding to the burden.

Contact list is being kept, it's the character avatars and corp logo's being removed from the lists. At least from the last thing I recall reading from Rattati in regards to it (can't remember where that is at the moment).

There shouldn't really be any justifiable reason to delete mail off of TQ (the server). Mail has never been deleted for EVE, where characters may be as much as twelve years old at this point.

Well thing is between most folks I post to and this person is that if I subject enough reasoning over time they eventually take another look at their own stance reconsider their values and then assert or reassert their position with a formulated response that would be something more tangibly digestible when I consider the options and bring them to ccp for community feedback.
The person in question is immune to this method and concretes their opinions before the they finish mixing the concrete up.
As for who? don't have to look far.

There's a hundred people locked in a room with me. The lights go out and one of them kills another before the lights come back on. I don't have to look far to find the killer and I can point the finger at whoever I want; but I'm no closer to knowing who the killer is.
And what of their reason, did you omit it because of some NDA bullshit or did they simply not give it?

This is definitely one of those things I wish had been a priority from the get-go. As it is, DUST and EVE websites use very similar login code, to the point you could "accidentally" log into the EVE website with a DUST account if you knew what you were doing.
A lot of DUST's social aspects would hugely benefit from the ability to communicate away from the PS3. I've used an EVE account for this extensively in the past, but that's kinda a pain, and mail sent to your DUST account is non-existent until you get home.

well if we take the room of a 100 folks in it with one killer striking at every time the light goes off. (actually this hearkens back to the blue-man room show riddle; a reality TV show where the person not blue is to walk out when the lights are turned off) anyways the killer knows I know hes the killer.
So I have the choice of outing him giving him no room for redemption. He can out himself and let him fully explain why he's killing. Or I can keep silent and let him kill everyone and watch everyone else tear themselves apart trying to figure out the killer...]
hmm tough choice.

Redemption? He's just disagreeing with you. There's nothing really to redeem.
I agree that mail should load while you're in a match, if somebody messages you to back out, or to say a squad is open, or wants to talk about that awesome 360 noscope you just did you should be able to receive that and be able to message them back.

I also rather an instant messenger feature that clears itself at end of session rather than using the mail system to tell people to get out of a match for something else.

I'm sure Chribba realises that. What he's probably referring to is that this is a hideously poor way of doing it in the first place and even then, it shouldn't be a major contributing factor.

I agree that mail should load while you're in a match, if somebody messages you to back out, or to say a squad is open, or wants to talk about that awesome 360 noscope you just did you should be able to receive that and be able to message them back.
Exactly. Right now, difficulty seeing chat notifications in match ensures that everyone is in like an echo chamber for 10-30 minutes at a time. It's really hard to meet up with friends if they have no way to contact you. Mail notification is right now the ONLY way to get someone's attention for critical things like a Planetary Conquest match needing extra people or whatever else someone might urgently need.
Even I don't understand what the heck IWS is saying, but I think he means me, so if it is, he should just say what he wants to say, IMHO.
FYI: I've been actively advocating for not deleting people's mail since this discussion was first floated.

The rest of his comment is in line with what you're saying though but that's irrelevant to what I said. I'm very well aware of that if you have tons of mail it can make up a lot of data. I'll just randomly do some math using my EVE stats.
During 2014 I received 2505 mails and sent 890, so all in all there was 3395 mails in my inbox (only counting 2014 and not previous years).
An EVE mail can max contain 10,000 characters (not going to include overhead bytes like subject, to/from since you'd rarely use up all 10,000 chars for every mail anyway).
So that's 32.4MB worth of mails in my EVE mailbox, is that a lot or not accumulation-wise? In EVE they don't let me scroll back more than about a month (BUT that is due to the number of mails rather than the size). So there's no reason they could not simply do the same in DUST rather than opting for the delete route, that's why I didn't really bother to dig into accumulation since it's (imo?) not the problem.

Verification from our backend engineer, is that the emails are "marked as deleted" not properly deleted, so as to not load them into battle.
The mails will still be on TQ.

Absolutely, man.

The DUST text entry box limits you to MUCH less than that, as well, so barring huge reply chains or mail sent from EVE, it's pretty unlikely for you to use anywhere near as much mail.

The mails will still be on TQ. So hopefully when you guys have had a chance to look closer to the mails and performance there's a chance for those to be "re-enabled" so that we can see them again? Seeing as "them being on TQ" in the sense that they are available EVE side doesn't really help us reading them from DUST (for non-corpmails that are private merc mails) - or until CREST allows us to export them?
If so, this is better news that they're not completely gone, even though I am unable to do anything with them.

So does this mean we can actually access our mails from MQ, just not in battle, or?
If it's that, well done. If not, what do you even mean? Are they just deleted for all intents and purposes as opposed to completely deleted?

What I can tell from your math, you're still not getting it. It's not just about the mails, it's about everything that is being loaded during a match. Of course I'm not saying mails not being loaded during a match will have much of an impact, in fact I seem to recall mentioning something along the lines that it likely won't earlier in the thread; but still it's another straw on the camel's back.

Are they just deleted for all intents and purposes as opposed to completely deleted? While we will need a dev to get a proper confirmation on this, I will say I'm pretty confident we won't have access to the mail while in the MQ, ...at least for now.
To use my love-letter example from before, this is like instead of CCP burning them, they are stuffing the letters in a safe we can't open and promising to send us the combination at a later date.
Our mail being inaccessibly-archived is a thousand times better than being outright deleted, but it's also a thousand times worse than if we had actual access to it.
If I may add to my earlier point, our mail isn't only about our records of our friends and our accomplishments (Even though that alone is more than enough reason to preserve them.), for many, many players there is incredibly important utilitarian info kept there. How many CEOs/directors/leaders have vital contact, logistical, diplomatic, etcetc. stored in mails they've received? I personally know that with every new member to join D-Uni, Kevall sends them the "Welcome Packet"; a few dozen mails of guides and FAQs on Dust. Basically the game's missing tutorial! Which will be archived away after 30 days.
Now we have to be honest here, CCP Shanghai is trapped between a rock and a hard place. They have to up Dust's performance, and mail seems to be one of the notable resource hogs. But the code that is causing the issue seems hard to solve right now, and dev resources are very limited. Archiving the mail is a quick, workable solution.
But many players love their mail!
Do we remove the "feature" of players-keep-all-their-mail so that we gain the "feature" of increased-performance? Or do we try and have both, but at the cost of an unknowable amount of man-days; thus pushing back the release of roadmap items?
It's a tough call. :\
I adamantly don't want our mail deleted. And I really, really don't want it inaccessibly-archived. But if there is no quick way to resolve the performance issues, a temporary archiving may be the right call.
That said though, at minimum can we make this optional for players? I have a hard time seeing how,
Quote:IF (FLAG "achivePlayerMail" = TRUE) THEN do.archive() ELSE BREAK -takes more than one collective man-day to write and test.
Going by this thread, every CPM member whose spoken up about mail deletion/archiving has been against it; as are many prominent members of the community. It's worth considering the pros and cons of how we move forward on this. |
