OK, I will go hit the delete button on my dev blog that is not out yet because we wanted to make sure everything we say in it will actually happen instead of saying things and then them not happening.

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.

The reason they are being so cautious now is because of the backlash they got when they let stuff slip that didn't actually come out or came out different from what they said.

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.

So they aren't really missing, are they?
If anything, they were never provided.

Anyway, a company or persons will sometimes say they will do something but that doesn't end up happening. Why all the negativity?

I approve of this!

So you're implying that when you write DEVELOPER blogs, you are not actually aware of what your company is doing/going with the game?

So you are implying that you write stuff which are still on 'maybe, not sure' - level?

This in a DEVELOPER blog.

Call me crazy but I thought that DEVELOPERS would know the state of the game.

Is there lack of information between the departments and if yes, why?

Yeah I know, but FoxFours post just sounded... I dunno. Stupid.

and as for the HYPE that hasnt been delivered... MEANINGFUL EVE-DUST connection... ECONOMY... INDUSTRY... DRONES... MCC COMMANDER... this is all content that cant live up to the hype because it has yet to be delivered... most of which has been word of mouth documented from YouTube and parroted from FANFESTs... its difficult to convert others to the game when the hype CCP makes isnt provided... to have to tack on disclaimers that the games not finished... even though weve already hit the commercial launch... and you cant honestly say the competitors arent aware of these pending features, throw us a bone... give us the initial and vague theories you guys are mulling about internally with massive disclaimers that they arent finished, but at least that they are being thought about, or back-burner'd to focus on other priorities...

I guess, most my posts sound stupid. /me shrugs

and to be honest, SoxFour, as one of the first to champion your 10m likes for the name change, i couldnt bring myself to like that post of yours... i have enjoyed your sarcasm and witty banter many times before, but that post came off more childish tantrum upon initial glance... the lack of voice in text makes it hard to distinguish at times...

The original point I was trying to make, and you are write it was probably lost in the text, was just that at least in the case of my dev blog we just needed to wait a bit longer for confirmation that what we were talking about was going to make it in.

My apologies. I am trying to make up for it with this thread: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=86799

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.

Which ones? 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. >.<

"What I am saying is we work in an agile development environment and that means while we set some goals at the beginning of a release saying "feature X, Y, and Z will be ready by date A" is incredibly hard." - FoxFour


Perhaps you can follow theirs then:

I assume its incredibly hard to promise new features when you don't plan out anything.

on a side note, CCP you follow E3 reveals? 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.

Do you get dev blogs? They are a snapshot of what is in development. It is understood stuff gets left on the cutting room floor. F***ing CCP.

Edit: Not at you Fox, at marketing.

CCP Devs should approach the masses with pleasing them in mind instead of insulting them. Some people are extremely upset and may come off as rude the Devs should still maintain composure.

Instead of rudely commenting to the your pubic, CCP, discuss with yourselves how you can give information in a more beneficial way and then do it. At this point, it shouldn't be to large of a mystery on what needs to be done to fix Dusts major problems. After all, you've had a year of beta testing to figure this stuff out.

If these problems are still secrets, maybe CCP should hire a new team of Devs that can fix the problem. Square Enix had no problem doing this when Final Fantasy XIV was a failure. If the dog can't hunt, you need a new dog.
