wondering if in the tournament we are going to hold soon if we can give actual cash prize.
Nope.
community manager
doesn't know of a regular poster on the most active eve community
scratches head
i don't expect them to be best buddies but...
Apologies for not knowing a single individual person by name when I'm regularly monitoring around two dozen discussion platforms relating to EVE on pretty much an hourly basis, on top of all the gaming channels and platforms I'm also watching out of personal interest.
Clearly I'm bad at life, lol.
Roll Tide.
I'm glad you found it funny :)
Awesome man, really made us chuckle in the office haha
Made my day bud, hope you have a good one! <3
I am not awesome. I know this because I used to make video games for a living--specifically MMOs--and it was during that time I realized the industry had transformed me into an uncaring douche nozel contemptuous of the actual players of my game.
Back then, around 2007, I was convinced CCP was different. Now... I am not so sure.
Anyway, I do appreciate that you guys at least try to engage with the community!
See, I don't think I could ever transform that way personally.
I spent a decade as a highly visible EVE player and the community will always stay at the front of my mind. I always want to keep roots there, because that's where I came from.
I think one of my biggest problems at CCP is that I tend to be too direct in defense of the community's point of view sometimes, and also sometimes I'm just too direct in general if I think something's a shit idea.
Do I i think there are some asshats among our players? Absolutely. There's asshats in every community - I'm one myself at times. I think we all have those moments, it's human nature. I stand by my statement that we have the most amazing community in online gaming. When I stop believing that is when I'll move on to do something else. I can't see that happening at this stage in my life.
I tend to have those moments of asshattery at the same time as our players do - when I feel like someone's going to do something bad for EVE. That's whe...

yeah that Jibrish guy's a douche

Good timing Mr Falcon to divert attention from the failed SP event. But you know, that's pretty basic trick from the PR book. Maybe add some "botters teleported to high-sec" for better impact.
Event seems to be working for me - claimed my skillpoints across all six accounts today just fine.
Dytari started this last year with this biscuits or something :)
To be fair those were some nice fuckin' biscuits!
Are you really a ccp executive?
HAHAHAHAHA Executive?
No, lol. The furthest thing from it.
Ok, got to say this is the first time I've checked your twitter... and while this post is funny, the pic with the shocked baby made me LOL at work. Thanks for that now my team is looking at me like I'm crazy(er).
To be fair, my twitter is just a mess of cat pictures, stupid fun, EVE stuff, RocketLeague goals and pictures of Iceland and food... nothing special hahaha <3

Fuck you! hahahaha <3
Seriously though, I haven't laughed so hard in a long time - it's been more than a decade since I had hair.
Coincidentally, my Brooklyn Whopper arrived the same day, so it would be rude not to have a photograph with it given how much of a battering some people have been taking in New Eden recently :D
Love you guys! You're awesome <3 <3 <3
assholes!
I mean, you're not wrong.
Political discussion is against the rules on the forums 
Closed.
Also yes, it’s pretty awesome being in Iceland.
Falcon are you at CCP in any way concerned with corrupting your own data from the blackout, by giving players the information that it is a test / temporary?
Hawthorne effect - Factory experiment for reference on the subject.
Not really, the lakc of duration pretty much covers any concerns we have.
The good old days of lowsec <3

> We said this was temporary
"Indefinite" includes both "temporary" and "permanent."
Read the announcement news. It literally says temporary.
I can't trust you. If it s the case they must take a lot of drug to resist to the commit hommicid each time you make a change who burn all model they make.
No more seriously, i really want to see what they are doing with the ammount of data we generate (and do'nt said MER i will laught, the mer raw data contains a shitons of information, we could litterraly make a dashboard of eve activity ship by ship with that, and i'm sure you have a lot more granularity in information.)
Do you have simulation of eve universe with player behaviour, make some data about kind of player and isolate some interesting group (i have see some video of a fabnfest with some video about player activity, but i mean go deeper in the analysis).
I know some people (beacause it's reddit) will think i flame CCP , not the case i really want to know what they are doing, at witch point you could use data actually. Beacause it's intersting for people who love manage play with data.

Believe it or not, we tend to make data driven decisions with input from our data team, so they're usually fine with it.

We have literally hundreds of internal dashboards that we use to monitor TQ, the community and the health of the game. If someone wants a specific one, all we do is ask, or ask for a pool of data, and we can get it. Sharing is pretty liberal internally, and it's awesome to get whatever you need.

Hotdropping and the fact that every man and his dog in lowsec (including those in FW) started fielding cap fleets effectively killed lowsec piracy and small gang pvp. I witnessed this myself - I gave up on lowsec piracy the day that MC dropped five motherships on me while I was soloing in a Bhaalgorn in Molden Heath. If I remember, that was in 2010/2011 - I hung my eyepatch up after that and ended up joining CCP haha.
BOOM
There it is. Hotdropping kills the game.
All of Eves problems with people not undocking, not leaving safety can be traced back to the fact that there is an unknowable force multplier of austistic proportions that can on grid you instantly if your exposed.
Make caps jump to Celestials then warp to grid. That delay makes the skirmish possible. Subcaps will fight either to apply or escape the tackle and have a chance at settling things before the blob can mobilize. Additionally caps are now less safe because they cant jump on a station.
Also get rid of asset protection for caps. This game needs more dead caps.
It's highly controversial, but in all honestly I'd probably kill asset safety completely or heavily gimp it if it was up to me. I'd also cap the amount of storage space that's in each type of structure, with standup modules to give more hangar space.
I'd also get rid of tethering for anything smaller than a supercap, and have tethering become mooring for supers. Only XL structures would have mooring space, and it'd be limited to a certain number at a time per structure, with the ships visibly in gravdock outside so they were visible.
Yes, it'd mean a lot of nullsec entities would flood back to living from NPC stations, but then I'd probably look to make changes to those too and how they work, like capping their capacity for storing stuff too.
Again, all savage and terrible ideas.

Nah man, I sold it at the Fanfest 2011 Charity Auction... it made a few hundred bucks for charity!
Not bad for a $5 beanie :D
Do you have a data analyst in CCP office ? FOR REAL ?
We have several.
