Glad you guys are enjoying the blog, even if it's not one involving core gameplay mechanics but instead something that's just about making the game immersive and awesome sounding.

We're hopefully going to have one about gameplay out for you early/mid next week.

It's Tuesday guys...

Anyways, from what I understand we need screenshots for it. Any idea how hard it is to get screenshots? You have to actually think about what will look good, how to crop it, should you add text to it, should the text be pink, and then where in the blog do you put the picture. So confusing and so much work. :P

Don't even joke about the text being pink.

Don't even joke about the text being pink. There will be fights about that.

Also, what FoxFour said. We have one ready save the screenshots.

You know, having a screenshot button enabled from the XMB could solve that "how hard it is to get a screenshot" issue".... Just saying

Who cares about screenshots, the text is the interesting stuff

No no no they have to put the camera in the proper place in the quaters then arrange the light sources in that room just right then get the sexy models of both genders to pose in those sexy new dropsuits just perfect in the shoot.

The suits have to be dipped, polished, and chromed up. Then after the photos are taken they are then airbrushed to perfection.

It has to be perfect, it must be perfect, prada would be proud!

Fox and Team - We need an RSS feed for DEV blogs like our EVE brothers. Please

It should be out fairly soon, guys.

You can now lit it up and smoke it

It's in the pipe, five by five.

Now, Fox, when you say screenshots, are you talking about current build SS, or CCP internal build? :D

I am pretty sure most of us are familiar with the way the game currently looks.

Ripley, "How many drops is this for you, Lieutenant?"

Gorman, "Thirty eight... simulated."

Vasquez, "How many *combat* drops?"

Gorman, "Uh, two. Including this one. "

Drake, " **** "

Hudson, "Oh, man... "

I'm taking this as a hint that this next build will contain atmospheric processors. And we will be able to terraform planets.

DUDE. That is a really, really awesome idea!

It would be great if certain planets types favored certain industries and installing industries against that type required terraforming.

still no dev blog... sad day

We're working on one now, actually.

I would imagine its really hard to grab a non pre rendered screenshot that makes this game looks good. Hard to cover up graphics circa 2003

lol, this is from the 21st of Feb.



The next devblog didn't turn up until the 28th. Under absolutely no circumstances should you hold your breath.

Don't worry it's 5x5 and in the pipe or at least it was the other day...maybe now it's on deck or in the batter's circle...or maybe it fell out of the pipe altogether, who knows?

Those damned screen shots are tricky business, boyz.

Some people don't know the meaning of SoonGäó

So there's a dev blog out now, but it's not the one I was talking about, which is being delayed. The one I was talking about is scheduled for next Thursday.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

What happened to just needing to add pictures

To be honest, it's a big dev blog and we're talking about the best ways to present it to a broad range of people.

The graphics look a lot smother...
Looking good CCP !

Edit: I quite like the thought of "Dev mail" telling us of changes in Beta

This is already in effect, thats why your mailbox is empty lol

meh, wake me when it gets here. I don't think I'm being unfair to CCP when I say that I'll believe it when I see it.

No I get that. Broad range probably means they can tell that there will be a fair amount of eve players and newto dust people will check it out. It's probably going to go into district warfare, and they don't want to use lingo and ideas that are too deep for the person who hasn't played dust, and the casual FPSer who so far has no clue about the Dust Eve connection. If it were just about new drop suits this probably would have been out by now, but if it is about us impacting eve in a big way there are lots of communities within Eve that will care.

I have it on good ears there is a dev blog this week concerning the new skills hopefully.

There is also the video cast of CCP's Past Present and Future.

But enough talk from me. We all know that much quoted phrase, GÇ£ItGÇÖs not what you say, itGÇÖs what you do,GÇ¥ that will make the difference here. From now on, CCP will focus on doing what we say and saying what we do. That is the path to restoring trust and moving forward.

You guys shouldn't hate on IRC so much. I mean if I felt like it I could stop feeding the devs but that would be very mean of me.

So then, how about until you have it ready, you don't talk about it.

Because all these delays for artwork, or editing, make you look incompetent.

If your art team can't do their job on the suit blog done in a month, replace them.

If your web team can't put together the work on time, then fire them and get some competent staff.

If the dev team can't figure out how to get the information out, go and have a meeting and sort your **** out, instead of posting teasers about your teasers.

This stuff isn't that complicated, but you guys act like you are working on cold fusion.

The more of these types of posts I see from the devs, the lower my expectations get for Uprising, and boy are those expectations already very, very low.

Foxfour, to you in particular, I really hope you have thick skin, because if this build is not epic as you keep claiming, you are going to get savaged on here for all your hype work.

No, someone here actually has the correct amount of balls to say how it is; it would take me 5 minutes to add a RSS feed to the dev blog yet the CCP web team keeps stalling. Don't get me started on the broken EVE Gate profile pages that look all mangled on iOS (or any other WebKit mobile browsers).

Yeah, let's just all stay real quiet; god forbid we should ever speak our minds!

It's one thing to get impatient, it's a completely different thing to ask them to fire people. Seriously, who dafuq do you guys think you are deciding who should or should not get to keep their job? If CCP wants to fire people then cool, but Buttnaked is in no position to be making such comments, the audacity of some people...

I don't know what world you live in, but in the real world, if you can't do your job, you don't get to keep it.

Yes, and in the real world that's up to my boss to decide, not some random customer.

OK, so I am really confused... what's the issue?

DUDE. That is a really, really awesome idea!

OK, so I am really confused... what's the issue?

Trolling? Not cool bro.

No, not trolling, I am honestly wondering what the issue is. Like, in a small paragraph what is the issue.

From what I can tell we said we would do a dev blog, it has not made it out yet. Is that the issue?

I think we are all anxious. Soon?

For what, what dev blog? I thought this was about the planetary dev blog, of which there are now two out.

For what, what dev blog? I thought this was about the planetary dev blog, of which there are now two out.

I'm not sure if I can compress it into a paragraph but I will attempt it.

The people who remain on these forums and in game right now are the most committed that you could find. They absolutely believe in the concept you guys are trying to put out. They are digging through the test servers looking for info, any info because of how much they can't wait for your content. As such, you should do your utmost to not abuse that commitment. You should not promise something, or even hint at it, if you cannot be assured that it will be done on time.

If something is done, and about to be posted, drop a teaser the day before if you really must. But if you don't know when something is going to be ready, please don't mention it. I understand that you are proud of what you have done, and want recognition for it, and also that you want us to be eager for what is coming next. But we don't need to be hyped up, or sold on the next build. We are already fully prepped and ready to go.

Finally, it appears as if your various departments lack co-ordination. If the marketing team doesn't know what the devs are doing, and neither group has any clue on what is going on in the art department, there is an issue there that needs to be addressed internally. It reflects poorly on your ability to manage what must surely be a large and disparate group of people into a complex project.

Sorry I couldn't get it down to even two. Trimming it down to just that leaves out so much more.

The dev blog everyone is expecting about the new skill system

See I told you there was a blog this week.

they just restated what we already knew and flashed some new vehicle skins at us and hoped it would work.......


NOPE!

No, not trolling, I am honestly wondering what the issue is. Like, in a small paragraph what is the issue.

Looks like that was posted on the 15th and it doesn't look like it gives any new information except a refund of AUR and isk for some items.

This is very important step to the new skill system implementation, as explained by CCP Praetorian in both Merc Cast - Episode 1, and his Skill Progression System Dev Blog.
