We're aware of the post regarding new maps, however this seems to have slipped when we introduced new server locations today that took priority along with the scheduled PSN down time. We should have more info on this before downtime tomorrow. Please accept my apologies for any confusion this may have caused.

Thanks for at least posting this.

Now, if only CCP Iceland could help us with that heatwave we are having...

Also keep in mind this game is being developed by CCP Shanghai, with a largely dev team who has never even heard of EVE Online and probably don't how CCP Iceland want it.

Probably explains a lot of the discrepancies on some of the design choices.

You know what really pisses me off about this thread? This is the sort of thread that makes companies decide to prevent their employes from giving us little scraps of info and just say SOON(tm). you want to ot have a clue if they are listening to us??

yes?? THEN STFU!!! its not intentional, they are not trying to insult you, they are trying to give you some new information they just heard and are excited to tell you. yes they maybe wrong but you should be GOD DAMN GRATEFUL that they are telling you anything.

Devs please keep telling us every new and intresting thing you can.

I dont care if its not correct Id rather hear rumors then nothing.

Also explains the saner microtransaction policy.

Actually I much prefer the EVE Microtransaction policy at the moment.

All Aurum items in EVE are purely cosmetic.
There are no bonus to stats, no bonuses to fitting requirements.
Don't affect the core gameplay AT ALL

I'm all for charging Aurum for things like SP boosters, but things like weapons with better stats (fitting requirements), I'm still on the fence about.

Also these Aurum policies would have no doubt come from CCP Iceland.

I was more refering to gameplay choices such as small cramped maps, the Ambush game mode, the centralised market, each race not having their own line of suits with their own weapons traits, down to more trivial things, like the MCC being tiny and move incredibly slow.

Oh, there is a debate that is far from over yet.
I'm waiting for the August built and perhaps the September one (assuming they have one every 2 months) before raising that stink.

Some of the items may not have that much better stats, though I'm opposed to any bonuses there, however some of the gold items have massive savings on CPU and Power requirements, making them far more powerful than any non-EVE player can possibly imagine. Some EVE players would pay billions of ISK for a module giving him a 10% saving on CPU or Power, some of these gold items have a nearly 50% saving.



The lack of racial suits are merely for testing I think. There will definitely be full range if I remember correctly.

Nice post. VERY helpful piece of a** licking.

In every thread with sincere grievances, anywhere really, not just here, there are someone like this one, coming out saying "see, no problem, what are you all yelling for?" after the issue has been addressed.

And I'm certain you are wrong.

so there is new maps but there was more important issues to address?

Ehrm. If I understand it right, it is ALL PSN Store servers that ate down for maintenance.

Also, GM Grave, I wish you hadn't responded. You have only validated the kind of BS self important childish posting that is making this forum unreadable and this game nearly unplayable.

Guys I think this dude is mad.

Where is the logic in blatantly lying to your testers. You depend on us to help you make a better game, we've been running the same map for a month now, and it shows by rapidly dwindling participation.

Trust me, 90% of the players left are NOT representative of the actual players that you need to test for.

Then you promise us something new to get us back in the game, testing it for you, and it turns out that the promise is just an empty shell.

A LIE.

Then it turns out that some of the information were given on an unrelated source, that birdbrained site. Twits I think it's called.

Appropriate name.

That is another matter, but do remember that it is best for us testers, who are doing YOU a favour, that we have the information collected in one place. In this case, these forums. Don't make us have hunt down your messages all over the internet.

All in all, YOU have NOTHING to gain by pissing off your players, or didn't you learn from JITA the last time?
Lying to us to get us excited about testing again, is NOT the answer. If you don't have anything NEW, DON'T tell us you do!

It is that simple.

Now. get back on your high horse, and either give us what you promised, or tell us directly that you are not going to.

GIVE US CLEAR ANSWERS, NOT LIES.

That is all I am asking for.

Edit:
I were asked for proof. here it is:

All this rage and malcontent would fade away somewhat, if only CCP would say SOMETHING about it.

people get real emotional about this huh? Just wait till the full release dude. The more work they do on this build distracts from the final build. Beta is always gonna be broken beta stuff. Imo I think that this game is too ambitous its already be in this development cycle a long time much longer than alot of other shooters.

this is not a real grievance this is some whinny, greedy, little brat. moaning cause daddy didnt buy him the ice cream like hea said he would for christs sakes when you flip over stupid **** like this you stop getting any bonuses and people stick to the rules to prevent **** like this. ****!!! this thread creator is the same stupid type of ****** that is contributing to the collapse of even modern nation.

ok maybe that was a bit much, but really??? come on stop being such a child.
