CCP, I have always wanted to see Dust 514 succeed, grow, flourish and evolve to the next level. It seems that you have tried various approaches to resolve performance issues over the years. Now you're looking into power cores in order to reduce redundencies in memory. I was disappointed to hear that normalization was overlooked until this point in the SDLC.
There are a few fundamental techniques, code profiling for one, that allow a developer to get a handle on performance bottlenecks.
Maybe it is time to enlist the services of a professional: http://www.snsystems.com/
The sn systems team creates tools for playstation developers, and perhaps they'd even consult with your developers, and walk them through resolving some of the harrowing performance issues that have plagued us.
I know it's late in the game, but there are a lot of players who care about this kind of thing and I'm certain that a Dust 514 tuning fund raiser would generate enough cash to cover consulting expenses and the purchase of their key development tools.
Best wishes on catching up to the competition! |

I agree.
CCP, I applaud your content generation, and core game concepts. However, your delivery of said content is simply amateur. It is ludicrous, absolutely ludicrous, that you willingly accept money in exchange for a product that works, at best, 60% of the time. I don't expect you to be ashamed of yourselves, because I suspect you are all ethically bankrupt sociopaths. But, if there is even a glimmer of decency left in you, I encourage you to do the right thing and invest in improving this game, to the point where it at least functions, or flat out terminating it.

A new set of eyes never hurt, and in this case may help a lot. I'd be willing to help fund this through a separate channel.
Poor Core mechanics and performance remain the primary detriment to the player experience and all the content in the world will not change that. It's long past time to address that, CCP.

Oh, did my post touch a nerve? Valid criticism hardly constitutes an insult. And in regards to my warning: If I'm not going to be allowed to criticize your clear lack of experience and work ethic, then just go ahead and permanently remove my posting privlages.

Well the iceland strike is called off or whatever, so CCP should still be at work, I think it isnt a bad idea for them to seek some help in optimisation. CCP might not be used to such a thing with EVE being on PC and having many fewer limitations than the PS3. Although I'm not sure how skilled or experienced the CCP shanghai team is, they might be better at optimisation than we assume, or they might not be very good at it, I have no real objective way to conclude either way other than my experience within the game, which is subjective and points towards them being not that good, but who knows maybe they have other baggage like the EVE server code. |

I'm sure some of them are approachable, friendly and professional. Rattati in particular seems like an ambitious, thoughtful game designer. The bulk of my complaint resides with the mismanagement of resources by the company's executives. Poor decisions about staffing have led to a team that cannot maintain a functioning massively multiplayer game. Changes need to be made at the top before Dust 514 has the resources it needs to ensure that its customers can actually log in and play. I'm sure that basic mechanical playability has improved since beta, but that does not excuse the fact that this game suffers from problems that would have been fixed in beta, were a successful company at the reigns.

I call on the power of singlemono to take matters into his own hands, build a budget for the necessary tools and resources to fix Dust performance issues, re architect, reengineer and revamp where necessary and deliver us an overall polished product fit to compete in this age of high-velocity MMOFPSs.

CCP, were you able to get ahold of them? What did they say? I'm curious as to whether or not their development tools can aid your efforts. |
