Aeon Amadi Mannar Focused Warfare Gallente Federation 1489	Posted - 2013.06.12 11:51:00 - [1] - Quote Just saying, apparently it's way too difficult to type out five or so paragraphs so why don't we just take away the sense of obligation? Really though, should just do away with them or actually release them. Enough with the promises of more dev blogs, they're beyond empty at this point.

If your neighbor yells at your mailbox enough, eventually you're going to notice. "Transparency" is idiotic and damaging to the company. Let's say you have a cool new idea. Do you... A) Tell everyone, including your rivals, months ahead of release. Allowing your rivals to formulate a response. B) Keep quiet, and let everyone know your cool new feature a couple of weeks in advance. Yeah, WoW totally managed to keep 1,500,000 players this year stealing all of those ideas from Eve Online they announced back in January.

Any dev blog that was released should still be around... or are you trying to point out that we promised some dev blog last year and never released it and I am too understand your point? If it is the latter the... I have no idea. >.< Omg, now you're just outright trolling lol. Come on, this is the first time you're hearing about this????

Im sure the community can help me list the missing dev blogs we have been waiting for. He'll just go through the dev blogs themselves, they mention other dev blogs. Dev blogception. Definitely never got one on Crusader/Pilot suits. Definitely never got one regarding cloaking/shield generators. Definitely never got one regarding dropsuits in general (was supposed to come out before uprising after th equipment blog). God forbid there's ever a graph on how many people use Caldari Logi and Duvolle Tacticals pre-nerf, or LAVs and road kills after May 14th.

Not sure if dev blogs are missing and I should poke the web team or something else... Issue is that we keep hearing that dev blogs regarding certain things will be coming out to explain stuff but they never do. He'll, CCP Eterne has promised two just this morning.
Aeon Amadi Mannar Focused Warfare Gallente Federation 1493	Posted - 2013.06.12 12:28:00 - [9] - Quote One that I know for sure I personally haven't seen is the dev blog from CCPMindstar regarding tech info on the servers.

Trust me when I tell you, we'd rather know what you plan to do and then find out it's not happening than not know what's happening at all. Please, just trust me. PSSH, Wouldn't mind knowing what the he'll they've been doing since Uprising... It was ready to deploy a month before we got it so two months of.......... silence.

This is why I want them to just have fun with their communication with us, because we will never be happy no matter what they do, so they might as well be happy instead. I just want to know where these hotfixes keep coming from. I don't remember anyone saying Militia LAVs were underpowered.
Aeon Amadi Mannar Focused Warfare Gallente Federation 1506	Posted - 2013.06.12 21:22:00 - [14] - Quote That's another thing.. Who's the lead developer and what department is he in? I know that CCP Unifex was Senior Producer for Eve Online for the past few years and.things were amazing, but now CCP Ripleu has taken the reigns. That's what we mean by transparency. We have no idea who half of the devs are, and any time one posts in the forums sometimes were like: "Who's this guy CCP Clorox? What the hell does he do around here?"

Did you see the next competition? I'd name names but honestly, everything there is going to provide an issue for dust. roadmap like this would be awesome, but it took 4 months for this system to come out. dust isn't even 1 month old. Well, an innovative game should have innovative features sooner than games that don't, imo. I mean, if they had this roadmap out there on day one people could sit down and say "Well, at least I only have to wait 'x' months until MY feature comes out". In my case, it's the Gallente Heavy and some form of Hybrid sidearm that isn't Caldari make... I feel dirty every time I use an SMG and I feel traitorous everytime I use Nova Knives. But, beyond that, it'd be nice just to have stare down the eyes of a Caldari Logistics and not have the constant thought in the back of my head: "He's got 600+ shields and more mobility. I'm going to lose this fight."
Aeon Amadi Mannar Focused Warfare Gallente Federation 1529	Posted - 2013.06.14 12:57:00 - [16] - Quote Bubba Brown wrote: it's a devblog where you expecting a crystal ball with release dates? devblogs are more like "here's what i'm working on that i think is cool enough to share" i wish we had more of them, honestly. even if the features mentioned therein won't be in the game for a while I'd really like to see what the he'll they're doing with things before they're shoehorned into the game. We find out about retrievable plating from a trailer and those of us who are doomsayers instantly saw something else for the Caldari Logi to abuse. More HP with no movement penalty. The immediate response was, "sorry, obviously that's not the best way for you guys to find out" but it's not like they went out of their way to make sure it didn't happen again. Consider this: Which is harder: Cutting an Apple into slices for an Apple pie before it's in the oven, or after it comes out of the oven? How are we to balance anything if we're not permitted a preview of it beforehand? CPM IWS brought that up for us but I suspect it was a PR response more than anything. We still haven't seen a damn thing about commando/Pilot suits or the combat rifle seen in the trailer so we can only assume they'd rather hotfix (nerf the absolute **** out of) those features after they're released because no one provided initial feedback during the last stages of development.
