Dawwww, you're only saying that because you haven't met my sister Hedwig, she is way more fun than either of us.

(Hans is a creep though, and actually keeps her locked away in some hermetically-sealed casket "for safekeeping", and won't say much other than something about "protecting her from excessive exposure to solar radiation".)

Chill, my friend. All he did was apply some glue to the thread.

We actually made the same suggestion in the meeting, I pointed out specifically that since this is a console game and people aren't accessing the game through their PC's the way that EVE players do, its unreasonable to expect that any greater percentage of players are following along on the web as well while they play. Most don't even know that so much is discussed on the forums, by players OR devs for that matter. We mentioned a number of options, from email to a neocom button for news, to using the Merc quarters screen - and while I'm not sure how soon we'll see first fruits of this, we definitely made the case that forum threads and dev blogs aren't enough, players need to be able to read important announcements from within the game client. We need the ENTIRE community to have a chance to know what's going on and speak up, not just those of us insane enough to wade deep into the forums on a daily basis.

Gatlin laser from fallout 3 please

We wouldn't be good CPM if we didn't know the difference between new build impulse and legitimate concerns. Had Uprising done its job, the GD first few page would have been full of GG CCP majority not FUBAR response that is there now.

Its like knowing that Windows 8 was going to suck before it came out.

You have to admit though, that delving into the forums is an adventure in itself. I'm not heavily outspoken here on the forums even though I've been kicking around since Open Beta. I'll comment from time to time, but I prefer to watch, learn, adapt, and then take action. Sort of like an informant who simply gathers information and then sells it to the highest bidder.

However I do agree. We really do need something in-game to alert us to a new happening when it comes to DUST 514 and the game mechanics. Strangely though ... I'd probably hop off and swim back here just to see what people are saying about the news xD

How about a copy of the conversation instead? I know it probably took place on Skype so don't say it's impossible :)

Or you could tell me it's too 'confidential' and share with us how truly transparent CPM and CCP is.

Either way I want to know what exactly CPM brought to the table and how. If we're to build trust I need to see it first hand.

You're going have to wait on CCP on this.

I will have you know I am driving militia tanks now, current record for longest survival of a tank has been 2 matches so far.

Nova nailed it, though I'll add that I'm currently only responding to mail sent to Hans Jagerblitzen, since I can actually type normally using EVEgate and not hampered by the **** email system we have within the Dust client at the moment (and you transparency-hounds can add fixing in-game mail to work with M/KB to your list of "stuff Hans is pushing for" ).

You can also reach me on Twitter: @hansshotfirst and on Skype: Hans.Jagerblitzen

WARNING: Direct contact is ALWAYS better than the forums. I do not have the time to read every forum thread, nor will I during my term. Even CCP uses software to do this because the forums are so clogged. If you guys learn to keep feedback in neatly organized threads and stop spamming the **** out of it with your rage, this may change - but for now please ping us directly if there's a post you want a response on.

Posting in a random thread and than expecting a CPM reply, if you haven't pinged one of us directly, is about the worst thing you can do. And, I'm not going to care about the whining if this is how you approach working with us. I've made getting ahold of me a rather trivial task, there's no excuse for any of the "But the CPM is ignoring us" bullkitten.

i just tried my mIRC, it failed the first but connected on the second try
