As you can see, E3 update addressed a lot of your concerns and the next update will fix even more issues and introduce more features. We at CCP believe in DOING more than just talking about it, because at the end of the day that's what counts. But know that we are constantly listening to our players and discussing your suggestions, rants, wish lists, etc.
I understand, appreciate and endorse the fact that you all spend more time on Making the game than telling us about how you're making it.
Unfortunately, you just gave an example of how there needs to be a better feedback loop on the forums by replying to this topic several WEEKS after it was made. I don't expect or ask for daily feedback, and that isn't what this thread is about. But there's clearly some sort of disconnect going on between what you are aware of at CCP and what we're aware of as beta testers. And unfortunately it's only going to get worse as more and more people show up on the forums.
I'm currently in a situation where I can check the forums several times a day, and I read most of the topics posted. I very much doubt there are that many other people doing so. So to everyone else finding relevant information (to give an example, the fact you're aware of the current problems with voicechat) is like trying to find a needle in a haystack.
This thread was created when there was a lot less activity on the forums. Now we've gone from wanting a better organized distribution of information to needing it. And I say that thinking of both directions. As nice as it would be for us beta testers to not have to sort through fifty topics a day to find new information it will be easier for you as developers to be able to find useful feedback if you didn't have to do the same thing.
Right now, the way I see it, what you can do most easily to have a considerable effect on this problem is to just post a sticky showing what you currently know about. As I'd earlier posted it doesn't need to say what you're doing about it (though comments would be appreciated). Just knowing that you are AWARE of a problem will make a lot of repeat posts go away. Even if it was updated only once a week it would be helpful. |
