Devblog: Chat System - An Update & The Future!

POS is specifically referring to the tower system. Not upwell structures.

Yup clarification might be in order here. Maybe my english is just too shoddy, but the formulation certainly aint foolproof, as well.
If I understand the formulation correctly everybody that held omega within that timeperiod should get their compensation. And if i were to be mistaken on that, this would be a HUGE D**KMOVE, which would honestly surprise and disappoint me from CCPā€¦

New player hereā€¦ Not clear on that destination but thanks, I will look it up when I get a chanceā€¦

like seriously??

I can not agree more with those saying to lets us choose which character on an account gets the SP

Yes, thatā€™s another frustrating bug. I do not mind the same chat stack but the chat always focuses on the wrong chat. I close the client with focus on Chat 1 out of 4 in a stack and when I reopen the client, the chat stack is always focused on chat 2 out of the 4 (or another of the chats but not the one I had focus on when I closed the client).

I think if you could run a little script to give each account a 50k sp token in their redeeming queue for each omega month since march 20th, 2018 that would cause less friction. So if the account was omega for 3 of the months then they would have 3 lots of 50k sp tokens to assign to the characters on that account as they like.

I donā€™t know how much hastle this would be.

Biggest problem I found using the in game audio was the game crashed you canā€™t reform easy. Saying that though they could well add it to launcher now if they wanted to.

I do remember back in the day in some big fleets it was a complete nightmare changing Comms mid fight because we join another group to take down something.

It is still possible to remove oneself as the only owner with a single rightclick + leftclick, even without any confirmation at all, causing the channel to basically become doomed. I started adding alts as owners just as a safety measure incase of misclicks.

Good job on the chat system.

Now please, make a real EVE mobile companion app with integrated chat function, so you can chat from that in all channels youā€™re subscribed to except Local.

Also, redeemable skill points please.

Awww, another ā€œspecialā€ person who only popped out of the woodwork to whine about something that CCP didnā€™t need to give.

Along with a fair few others as well.

Itā€™s the old pos type structures that are getting retired sadly, not the new Upwell ones.

Iā€™m taking that bit from the devblog with a grain of salt until further notice, as two of my characters were in the same system 2 days ago and the very first person in local (an A name) was showing up on only one of their clientsā€¦ the other one had the 2nd person in local and then everyone else below. Was not in Jita, was in a system with 40-50 people, nothing major.

Problems are persisting.

As for the ideasā€¦ I know what you mean by the old system change system, but the way it shows now is how itā€™s ALWAYS shown in the actual text logs (as in, if you open your local text log years ago, it shows all systems you jumped to)ā€¦ the way it used to only show you the current system in-game was a display thing, the logging was still going on underneath. So I donā€™t know if this is possible, but a TOGGLE (like the timestamp toggle) would be best.

For one thing, if there was a random bit of chat during your 20j voyage, sometimes itā€™s nice to know what system that was in instead of having to open up the text log to find out. But I understand wanting to reduce local spam visually in game without having to clear all content repeatedly (trust me, as a tripleboxer who visits Jita and Amarr, I feel ze pains).

I am pretty sure that actual chat was separated by system change notifications. The chat would only update the new last system change notification after some chatter had appeared:

I got the feeling you are the most banned person in my channels. Which reminds meā€¦

CCP - Would be nice to have some easy way to remove biomassed characters, since there might be hundreds of those on our block list, from all the 2 minute old troll/spam alts we have banned over the years, which probably was biomassed soon after.

id much prefer that each account gets the 500k skillpoints and players can allocate the points to the characters- maybe 10x 50k

500k SP? What about people that lost their actually expensive ships because people wouldnā€™t show up on local and CCP support gave them the finger on refund, stating that the system works as intended, and people not showing up on local in null (you know the thing everyone uses for intel distribution) is apparently not a reason to grant reimbursment claims?

weak ass reward for people that stuck with EvE despite those ridiculous issuesā€¦ all i am sayingā€¦

Now if you gave everyone who was active in those periods a few months of free omega time, that may actually reflect decent amount of your concern about your player base, this short term and extremely selective comensation is BS.

Iā€™m not sure what stability youā€™re talking about.

Every day until yesterday (havenā€™t played yet today), I experience that a new guy in local, doesnā€™t show up in one or two chats in the clients I play. I normally play 4 accounts, so itā€™s easy to see when local is not updating for some of your clients.

Itā€™s not always the same clients that doesnā€™t get updated, and all clients are normally updated within 1-2 minutes.

Same happens when people leave local, they still appear in some clients for an extra 1-2 minutes.

EDIT: I have never bug reported this, as I assumed you were aware of your chat problems, maybe Iā€™m wrong. That you receive less bug reports on broken chat, might indicate, that weā€™ve given up on you, and not, as you presume, that youā€™ve fixed it.

make no sense not to get the 500k sp, and is unfair it should be anyone who is omega atm

not really ok with the sp idea. The game had been virtually unplayable for me ever since march. Nothing but spam chat dcā€™s with socket closes.
saw the post in january that they were working to fix the issue. onlined my accounts again.
i agree with those who wonā€™t get it even though they stuck through it, but the same goes for ones like me where they made the game unplayable.
i mean, sure there were a account i kept on, but would be nice if they had more of a cut off date of like before this post to include all who were subbed in that time.

How about those of us who re-activated accounts after March 2018 but still got to deal with your HORRIFIC chat implementation for months on end? Do we just get the SP or just a sad sack apology?
