@CCP_Psych @CCP_Rattati
I just had a look on the broadcast from 9d ago. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/751743497
I’m playing Eve for 15 years. Keep in mind how old this char is and that I’m paying 3 additional accounts each month.
I will comment on all broadcast with timelines.
08:35 -> CCP Psych: If this is not the final phase just make the game F2P until the final phase.
08:53 -> CCP Psych: I’m not paying for stepping stones or experiments…
09:06 -> CCP Psych: If you want to correct your mistakes, don’t do it affecting the players.
10:00 -> CCP Rattati: Because you can’t change everything at once, you make the player bleed. What you are saying with learning everything, is like you are just experimenting, you have no clue on the final phase.
10:33 -> CCP Rattati: How is this not a nerf? By removing the ores from WH space, aren’t you nerfing the WH Space? By removing Trit from Null and LS aren’t you nerfing the Null and LS? Do you know what a nerf is?
11:22 -> CCP Goodfella: What exactly is the final phase of this? You say that there is a clear plan… but the way you say with steps, learnings, observation… This doesn’t sound like a clear plan… So… enlighten us… what is the outcome? When will it finish? How the mining will be looking at the end? Etc.
12:28 -> CCP Psych: I’m a lone miner and I want to go there with 3 of my char to do mining in LS. Can I go? The LS corp who ‘owns’ the system will just kick you out. It might increase the mining in the LS. The LS corps/alliances are mainly pirates. Tell me a LS system which I can reach and mine as a lone miner…
13:51 -> CCP Psych: “Not test, but an opportunity”… Bullshitting much? This is a way of saying something bad in a nice way, like “we don’t have an issue, we have a challenge”. Nice communication skills, but still means crap. You still say not permanent, CCP Goodfella says a clear plan exists… What’s the truth???
14:27 -> CCP Rattati: As I was stated earlier, how can I move my 3-man corp in LS to do mining? Why do you see this as an opportunity? Who is going to organize the mining fleets? The PvP corps from LS? You want NS to go in LS? Just make LS NS and you solved the problem… Again, this goes against the clear plan… Is there a clear plan or are you just experimenting?
15:12 -> Caleb Ayrania: If you are a lone miner in HiSec, you are going to get ganked and eventually you will quit the game, so stfu if you don’t know a correct answer. You say about the mineral price index going up, of course it will go up if no one is mining? Do you think before speaking?
16:00 -> CCP Psych: I like that you didn’t say that will not affect the little guy. But you enrage me, when you are saying you don’t care. Are you serious? It’s like you are peeing on my head… Just STFU! And after that you just say you don’t have any data that says the little guy is hurt? Really? Convo me and I can explain you in simple terms on a micro level… on a macro level… on what level you want… The connection between human psychology and economics seems to elude both you and Caleb. Of course the index will go up if you have fewer miners…
18:11 -> CCP Psych: The WH space was made in order to have people secluded, why shouldn’t be self-sufficient? Actually you can’t be self-sufficient even with hard work, doesn’t matter where do you live (HS/LS/NS/WH)… As a HS citizen I can’t just go and mine in LS/NS if I need minerals from there… Next steps: “It depends” do you actually know what you wanna do? Or just test whatever you think until you think your solution is good? You are right, you are doing everything in steps… First nerf moon mining, now this… Can you just stop doing things and think?
20:20 -> CCP Psych: Why do you care about the demand? Why do you try to limit the existing resources…? This is plain dumb. The game from its origin was made to allow you to do what you want… by doing these changes you limit more and more… You keep just saying dynamic distribution? What that means? That you are moving resources from one place to another? Based on what?
20:14 -> CCP Rattati: It’s not a perception… This is what you are doing… You are just throwing stone at a wall… “You actually haven’t seen nothing yet”: should I keep my subscriptions up? Trust is gained, not given…
22:22 -> CCP Goodfella: You keep saying there is a plan in place, but everything CCP Ratatti and CCP Psych said is that actually this is an experiment (in more pleasant words). WTF… “The next steps of the plan can’t be shared because it depends on how things progress”??? Who the hell is your project manager??? A plan is a plan! “Instead of sharing a plan and changing its contents”, then the plan is not clear yet… Why do you keep saying it’s a clear plan???
29:10 -> CCP Rattati: WH is not exclusive… You can’t set-up gate camps, you can’t see local, you can’t restrict access… Just don’t compare WH-space with K-space. You say you have plans for WH, what’s that?
31:00 -> CCP Rattati: You keep telling end of the tunnel… The things were good, there was no tunnel… Why the hell are you creating one?
32:10 -> CCP Goodfella: I’m playing EvE for 15 years… When did you start working for CCP? You are just making a mess without a damn good reason… What you are just saying is stop playing until we finish… Just put it on one iteration and deal with the fires after that…
46:55 -> CCP Goodfella: Actually the darkest days are going to come with the removal of the ores.
48:40 -> CCP Goodfella: Do you even care about what people say? This is how we decide we want… Do you want to really kill EvE? Just unplug the servers…
49:10 -> CCP Rattati: Based on what you say that player base is the highest now? I remember the days with 40k online players and no Alpha accounts.
50:00 -> Love your charts don’t show numbers… What the hell are those graphs? I can put whatever numbers I want there? Show graphs since 2004 until now…
56:00 -> CCP Rattati: You just ignore the player feedback… You ignored moon mining… You ignore W-space… You ignore the feedback… So STFU and don’t say you listen to player feedback…
56:31 -> CCP Rattati: Actually it was the most complex… There are few incoming games which are going to challenge for that title… Few of them are even in space…
1:04:50 -> CCP Rattati: Except removing all ores from WH you are not giving anything… What are you giving?
1:06:30 -> CCP Psych: Gas & Ice – Why the hell to you speak about how much is enough for the demand? Who sets the demand? CCP sets the demand???
1:09:40 -> CCP Rattati: I came to the game for the mining part and the freedom… Don’t tell me the reason I came to this game… The engineer from Star Trek was there because he wanted to be an engineer not because of the exploration.
1:12:19 -> CCP Rattati: Why should I care as a HS/WH citizen about the titans and supercapitals? They can’t get in my space… Why the hell do you try to solve the problems of NS/LS on HS/WH asses?
CONCLUSIONS:
- CCP doesn’t care about player feedback.
- CCP doesn’t care about solo players.
- CCP doesn’t care about WH space.
- CCP has a plan, which actually is not a plan, because they are experimenting with it.
- CCP are messing the game for everyone because the broke the capital ship industry when they launched it.
- CCP is going to keep messing the game…
- CCP is going to decide for us which is the demand of minerals and adjust the available minerals to what THEY decide is the demand. This will apply both to Gas and Ice.
- CCP looks like is going to the wrong direction. It is good that several games started to look into this niche organic economy. Check Dual Univers, Ashes of Creation, etc.
