hahaha catering to the masses. I come here, read what you all say, laugh, post some random... interactions, collect my likes, and then go back to working on "stuff".

p.s. just incase someone decides to take me seriously, this is just me posting random. Balancing community experience with internal metrics and our experiences (both playing the game and professional) is always a tricky thing. We need to make what we believe to be a good game but we cannot ignore what the players are saying. It is a careful balance and is very rarely ever met even near perfectly.

fox, we need a room to test so we can theory craft. i don't care if it's a pole barn where i can get my crew together and shoot one another, or if it's an empty battlefield, or whatever.

we need to be able to test the numbers game.

OP says "HTFU CCP"
FoxFour says "OK"
OP account no longer exists

Who won? The OP because CCP listened or CCP because one less HTFU thread?

ITT:
OP complains.
SoxFour trolls OP.
OP takes SoxFour seriously and starts to wear a cardboard sign saying "THE END IS NEAR".

10/10 SoxFour

Just as I figured, Dev's are more interested in the changing name games than the game they are Developing.
Really pathetic.

My job here is done.

Take your own advice and Hush the **** up, CCP knows better than people seem to give them credit, when you make a game thats done as well as EvE, then, maybe then you can tell them how to do their job.

I've heard a lot of good things about EvE, "Balanced" isn't one of those things.

Internal metrics are a 90% fail because they usually look at the entire player base, when for true balancing purposes you should be looking at the top players.

They don't take little league into account when they design gear for the MLB.

Perfect balance in a game is "IMPOSSIBLE"... even the greater Shooter games in History, have balance issues after decades of development. The path that CCP is taking with trying to achieve perfect balance, is self destructive.

STOP doing that... focus in the things that you are good at. Balance will improve over years of tweaking.... but don't stop the game development trying to achieve something that is impossible.

Fine, what about numbers? That is what they are? Actually they are log files which we parse to generate charts, graphs, and other numbers.

Charts & graphs. Can we have a dev blog?

Chant with me guys....

Deb blog! Dev blog! Dev blog! Dev blog!

What they are trying to achieve and what they are going to acheive are two totally different things.

For instance, they are trying to do away with conventional FPS roles (unless you play heavy), what they are ending up with is players combining the best Min/Max suit with what ever the flavor of the month weapon is to create a very bland sandbox.
