To Grideris and Nova Knife:

In your responses to the OP, you both come off as sounding condescending. Worse yet, you've both interpreted the original post as a complaint, which it quite obviously wasn't.

The OP went out of his way to explicitly point out the the only thing he was asking for was improved forum feedback. Furthermore, the issue he specifically mentions, a regularly updated issue/response sticky is eminently reasonable. It's so fundamentally basic to good developer/player communication that it should have been part of CCP's forum communication strategy from day one.

I take my hat off to the OP, who was admirably gracious in response to you guys, and who actually took the care to read and respond to what you had posted.

I do apologize to anyone who feels I was being condescending. I generally take great pains to stay as well informed about the inner workings of Dust514 as possible, and "parrot" what I know to help others stay informed as well. My intention was to tell the OP where and how he could glean most of the same information and feedback from the devs as I and others do. The IRC is a place to get the chance to chat live with devs, hearing what they are working on, participating in brainstorms about what we'd like to see in upcoming features, and even help them out in confirming/pinpointing bugs. As far as feedback with/from Devs goes... the IRC is truly the place to be. That was the point I was trying to make.

The forums are often cluttered and when a big issue or thread arises it is not uncommon to see a CCP post. But with the sheer amount of clutter on the forums, It is understandable they do not post in every thread. Even now OP, they have seen your feedback and said they will try to fulfill your request as best they can :)

The IRC beta channel is quasi official. Discussions about NDA-Topics are officially permitted, the channel frequently has CCP personnel online.

Yeah, just to put this in perspective: Free game, in beta. You're acting far too entitled given either of those, much less both. Take a break, watch a movie, or just let it go for tonight and see how things are running tomorrow. It'll do wonders for your blood pressure.

I recommend you "have a chat with CCP" and join us on the IRC BetaChannel (officially NDA approved). You will find devs and gms regularly there as well as some other very well informed sources like grideris or nova.

As an example, CCP CmdrWang was on IRC about an hour ago giving us a primer on what is to come in the next build and such! It's easier (And better) for them to do these things live because they can actually interact with the players in a more informal, personal level and people can ask them questions or give more direct feedback.

To me, that's far better dev feedback than forum posts. I'll make a summary post later about what was discussed, so as not to derail your topic!
