TL:DR, CCP are big boys, they don't need you constantly defending them, it's their turn to HTFU.

You had to make two threads of the same thing?

Telling CCP that everything will be okay, it won't, at least not by the 14th, especially if you refuse to acknowledge that there are problems and keep taking it easy on CCP. There's many threads out there created by people who could describe those problems better than I ever could, so I won't try. But seriously, CCP needs to make some major improvements within the next 8 days, and that won't happen unless we light a fire under their ass.

Yes, some people could go about the way they give feedback in a different way, but you also need to recognize that most people who give feedback want this game to succeed. Yes I realize that this is just the first day of the build, but guess what? CCP no longer has the luxury of taking their time with this, they now have a deadline to meet. They either need to change that deadline, or make some major improvements fast. You think today's reactions were bad? I can almost guarantee you that most of the reactions on the 14th from first time down-loaders will be worse.

Will a bad first week doom this game? No, but it will have a severe impact on the rate at which Dust grows and that will impact how much support CPP gives Dust in the future. CCP only gets one chance to make a first impression, and keep in mind that most people who dislike the game just delete it instead of coming here to "QQ"

So please do try and understand other peoples' positions, unless you're fine playing with same 5,000 people for the next 2 years.

What do you think can possibly happen in the software development world in 8 days?

Personally, I think beta players are no longer representatives of the greater gaming community -- but I'm happy to be told I'm wrong.

Rollbacks, Chromosome was boring and stale, but I would honestly say that it was better in many departments. Sure, Uprising looks nice, but it just kind of feel weird once you get over all the shiny things.

Right now Chromosome, with Uprising graphics, would probably make a better release than this.

My concern about new users revolves around the complexity of the market and skill systems taken in combination. There were some improvements in this area but it may still frustrate some people.
