i think it would be helpful for the folks that spend more of their time in-game than on the Forums, that when significant information is being posted by CPM or CCP, in this case the details of the meeting, a notice using the in-game Notification system is sent out.
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.
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 |

Indeed. That would indeed be handy for those out of the general loop. So we make the loop bigger to include them =P

A rather positive outlook. I was afraid everyone was raging. But then again, we're raging with love, so it's all good |

So who is the vehicle using CPM then? Just so everyone's clear - the role of the CPM is to facilitate change and act as an advocate for the community to CCP. This skillset is based on communication and diplomatic skill, not necessarily in-game skill. When we're doing our jobs right, we're connecting the concerns the community experts share with the developers that can directly address those issues - and not necessarily advising on every single game design decision personally. In fact, as CCP begins to work more directly with the public, our role as a sounding board diminishes. In the meantime, those of you expecting to have a representative for every single play style or battlefield role are going to be disappointed. There are only 6 of us - but that doesn't mean we still can't advocate for issues like vehicle imbalance compared to infantry*. Our job is to make sure CCP actually spends time and energy working on the problem, YOUR job is to help with the specifics, which we happily pass on to the parties that need the information. *This issue was in fact raised during our meeting and you should see more information on this shortly once CCP posts up their work-in-progress list based on the items we've been discussing over the last 48 hours. Ok so what is the CPM advocating and why? Not really sure about your communication skills seeing as you've ignored my concerns (sure it's buried amongst many others but hey, why me). If you told me what you're advocating and why, I wouldn't feel ignored, just perhaps misrepresented. But at least then I would understand where you're coming from and what drives *you*. You're trying to facilitate changes that I'm not convinced isn't pandering to the masses.
If you bothered to take a look through the history of this thread, you'd have noticed that several requests have been made for either a general or detailed breakdown (or even both) of the conversations between the CPM and CCP. So whether or not you're being properly represented will come in due time.
Comon man, give the guys (and gal) some time. They've only just been appointed to the Council within the last few weeks and we're already trying to rip them apart for information they haven't even assembled into an understandable and easily accessible format.
Patience is a virtue my friend, and even more of it is needed when it comes to CCP. |
