AWOXING A pretty big topic around these parts and something a lot of people have different opinions on. To be clear we don't want to make this kind of gameplay impossible. However we want to give tools to corporations to help better manage these risks.
In the long term we want to build upon the roles system adding roles to restrict who can enter a battle, who can invite others to battles, and those types of things. That is going to take time but we feel something needs to be added sooner rather than later.
So in the short term we will be adding the ability for a corporation's CEO and directors to kick players on their team from the battle while in the warbarge. Once in the battle the kick option is no longer available.
District state upon capture With the release of planetary conquest when you conquered a district it would immediately be locked and you would have to wait 24 hours before you could do anything. There were several reasons for this including helping deal with the release of all the empty districts and giving the people who just lost the district a bit of a better chance to attack back; the purpose being generating more battles.
Upon monitoring how you guys use the system since release however you have proven there are ways to avoid the second reason and the first reason is... well not much of a concern now.
So we will be changing it so that when you take a district it is in an unlocked and online state instead of locked and online.
When we eventually add a new region we will come up with a better (hopefully :P ) and different way to handle that specific problem.
Just a quick update for you guys. You will however notice I didn't include any dates for this stuff. Basically we will get it out when we can, but these are things we are actively working on. |

Would CCP be down for another optional respec for classes that have missing suits? Did the office explode when all the bug reports and balance issues came in? Are features being pushed back to work on fixing stuff or is CCP working on both?
Dropsuits are not something this team works on, sorry.
No, it did not explore... at least to my knowledge. |

I... I don't know how to take that... thanks I guess? |

- When can we expect to see these fixes take effect? In the mean time no serious corp is taking new players into their ranks. Not sure if this is how devs want the newplayer experience to be. Want to take part in PC as a new guy? Not gonna happen.
- Is there a time frame on when EVE players can contract DUST mercs? ( Soon = 3-5 months away, not Soon = 6 + months ) and can you give us any idea on how that will work?
- The issue of latency issues in PC, have you guys figured the problem out or are still looking at it?
- How soon will there be 24v24 player lobbies in PC? If at all. Will map size dictate this?
- No time frame yet, they are being worked on and coming as fast as possible. We wanted to get this information out now though so you guys know we are working on it and also to gather feedback.
- No, no ETA on that yet.

As stated in the OP more roles and control over that kind of thing are coming. They take more time however and are not something we want to rush. |

Lag is the 1st concern for PC not AWOXing, well that is what I believe.
The performance concerns are being looked into by lots of people. Putting more people on it is not going to make a fix come any faster. The people best suited to working on a fix are doing so. |

I don't know if I would say to fix it, but there is a lot we can do to improve it and we are working on it. :) This is not a feature we are releasing and walking away from. Much like the rest of DUST we plan to continue developing and iterating on it. |

It would be seriously uncool if you let this quickfix become all you do for us. I'd rather you did nothing now and just continued forward on proper roles. FC for taking contracts and kicking players from matches. Squad Leader for someone that CAN pull people into matches.
We are activly working on and planning an expansion of the corporation roles to help cover this. |

I assume this only applies to Dust side directors and CEOs and not EVE directors and CEOs?
Correct. You will have to be in the match to do it. |

So you don't have to kick them then they just join again and again and again until the battle starts. And the squad you want in can't join because they bad guys use up the space.
It's a kick and ban from that battle. |

Gameplay reasons. :) |

Gameplay reasons. :) So I guess that means I should get a CPM to rely the dirty method so you can reconsider the limitation you've put in place? That, or start a blog.
Or send a petition in, or send me an EVE mail, or whichever you feel is best. :) |

A quick heads up, I stole this from the Odyssey patch notes:
- Districts will now be in an online-unlocked state when captured instead of online-locked.
Odyssey is the EVE Online expansion that launches on June 4th and CCP Nullarbor being awesome as he is snuck... erm included this change. |

Abu Stij wrote:I didn't even get any love from you FoxFour.
Anyway, is there at least a rough timeline we can expect the director roles to become implemented in? The "hotfix" is not something that should stay longer than a very short amount of time. I can't imagine that taking the way director roles work in EVE and translating them to DUST is that hard save for a few areas.
Also CCP why you refuse to blue up my "Tools to Succeed" thread? It's because I'm Minmatar isn't it?
Sorry I didn't see this sooner, or maybe I did and didn't respond, I don't know. Either way, sorry about that. Let me respond now though.
In response to your twitter post, EVE-VR was something we did in our spare time outside of work. It in no way impacted our work schedule.
As for corporation management, see this thread: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=910443 |

Uprising 1.2, whenever that is deployed. |
