Hey guys,
We’re going to have to extend today’s daily downtime after an issue with patching this morning.
Updates will be provided as we go in this thread.
Read moreWait, what?!?! OMFG u/CCP_FALCON I LOVE YOU EVEN MORE!!!!!
Veto were the first group to kick my ass and also show me around..... ahhh nostalgia..... Milo Caman ran this great in game channel to help noobs called Mentors. Some of my first and best in game friends came from there.
I miss you lot a lot! <3
haha, I thought it was common knowledge who I used to be :)
Glad to hear you and fun and got some good mentoring from some of my dudes though, that makes me feel good! :D <3
Hey /u/ccp_falcon don't you have a wishlist that disproves this?
You wouldn't believe some of the sh*t that's on my wishlist for EVE...
...that said, I don't work in development! ;)
We love you too - thanks for becoming one of us <3
Hopefully we'll cross paths at some point and can exchange ammunition!
We have an official feedback thread on this topic now.
As such, I’m closing this one.
It would be nice, wouldn't it? :)
Take a look at this devblog for more details on the future of the new starter pack which was released on June 26th!
Read moreYes, because everyone’s entitled to their opinion and more often than not constructive criticism helps us feed back information into the development of EVE that makes it better.
It’s not rocket surgery.
Really glad you had fun, it was an awesome weekend.
One of the best non-fanfest events I’ve been to in 17 years of playing EVE.
So awesome to meet so many new faces and raise a glass with them!
No stress, always here to help.
That’s exactly why this content pack was created and I’m not going to ■■■■■■■■ the community about that.
It’s literally called a starter pack.
Consumerism in the games industry changes drastically and rapidly.
Games aren’t what they were five years ago. Hell, games aren’t what they were two years ago.
Audiences, their needs, their attention spans and the psychology behind how they play, when they play, what they play and what they pay for changes every time these shifts occur.
People can armchair develop all day long on a public forum, but the reality is that it’s useless without internal metrics on the behavior of the people who’re playing your game.
You’d be surprised at the freedom I have to write whatever the hell I want when I talk to you guys.
The last thing I am is on a leash - if I was, I wouldn’t be working for CCP
That’s the great thing about working community for CCP - regardless of who you’re talking to at the company, we give a ■■■■ about our players and everyone from myself right up to Hellmar is fine with our community communication being an open, candid two way street.
We don’t intentionally screw up or try to cause problems, and when we do we make sure we own them and set them right.
In this instance, we messed up and we’ll make sure that we fix the pack in question.
I don’t disagree - you’re shooting the messenger mate.
We also have a substantial number of devs working toward improving the experience for new players during their first few hours in the game. We spoke about this at EVE North, and it’s something that’s on our radar for sure.
I already posted this over on the official forums, but thought I'd drop it in this thread too...
Just wanted to drop in here now I have a clearer picture of the situation and can speak with some knowledge on what happened here.
We completely understand community concerns around the selling of Skill Points for cash, and we know how strongly you guys feel about this.
A few changes are going to be made to this pack soon in order to square things away.
Just to clarify things, we’ve sold starter skillpoint packs to...

A few changes are going to be made to this pack soon in order to square things away.
Just to clarify things, we’ve sold starter skillpoint packs to rookies in the past via steam, and of course SP rewards are a thing through the recruiment program too. This isn’t something new, and we’re always looking for ways to increase the chances of a rookie pilot becoming a seasoned veteran that sticks with EVE for many years.
The objective of this pack was to give rookies a little bit more leeway with their initial training and to give them a leg up when it came to branching out into their first few new ships. While it’ll have that effect, it’s obviously been implemented in a way tha...
Read moreHey guys,
Just wanted to jump in and respond to this now that EVE North is behind us and we can exhale a little.
We’re aware that some people in the incursion community are unhappy with the fact we’ve seen a reduction in highsec incursions since the release of EVE Online: Invasion.
This is sentiment that we’ve discussed with the relevant people internally and will continue to do so going forward.
Just wanted to let you guys know that we’re aware of the concerns your group has and that sentiment is actively being relayed to the dev team.
Just because I’m not responding, it doesn’t mean that I’m not collating feedback and getting it where it needs to go.
