27 hours of discussion and you covered the following topics:
You need better websites
You want to set up a charity
You decided that the CSM isnt about us telling you what we want, its actually another method of us telling you what we think of what you did instead
You agreed to NOT have sexy booth babes at Fanfest ( )
You agrees that beer is expensive at Fanfest
At what point did you talk about the actual game?
Game-related discussion has been postponed for 18 months due to lack of developer resources. |

I really shouldnt have to mention this (as it is clearly stated in the devblog), but
This is only part 1 of 3 of the minutes
We did not spend 3 days discussing what you read here (in fact, this is roughly one day worth of discussions). The rest - with a notably more gameplay heavy theme - will come in the following days :) |

TBH the DevBlog is pretty ascetic... Mentioning that we are getting Part 1 of 3 does not give us very good idea what are the remaining topics in Part 2 & Part 3. Also, having in mind the "aerodynamic style" of Part 1, I am afraid that Part 2 & Part 3 will be heavily NDA-blurred as well... Just for a reference - CSM5 June 2010 Summit MinutesOne big difference - The June 2010 minutes contain lots of specific questions / suggestions AND ACTION POINTSP.S. The rate of interesting DevBlogs has fallen in the recent weeks, probably due to the Holidays, probably due to the soon-to-be-hit deadlines...Who knows? CSM or CCP?  Originally by: Dierdra Vaal

And heres some stuff from outsider perspective :D Lots of noteworthy stuff here  : Part 1Part 2Part 3Sorry I ruined the suspense  Excerpts: Quote:
Conversation moved on to the topic which is currently being discussed quite widely in the community, botting and RMT. Whilst there was not alot of in depth information with regards to combating these discussed, it was noted that bounty input into the economy has been increasing steadily since ‘Unholy Rage’ which has increased the money supply. There has been a marked decrease in belt ratting which means that the bounties must be coming from elsewhere. This may be explained by the sovereignty upgrade system introduced with Dominion increasing the number and value of deadspace complexes which spawn in a system. Leading those participating in 0.0 PvE to run these rather than rat in belts. Whether or not this is related to botting is unclear.
It does and I smell a rework of the sovereignty upgrade system... at least the rewards it gives, more and better salvage maybe (more intact stuff to make t2 rigs affordable). Quote:
Many players will be glad to hear that there is a new font in the works, and whil it was difficult to tell from the big screen in the meeting room, there was a distinct improvement over the old font. The CSM did suggest that zero be given a diagonal slash though, in order to further differentiate it from D and O.
Random quote I know, but something players have been asking for. Quote:
The 0.0 game of EVE is seen by many as what make EVE what it is, and since Dominion it has become increasingly homogenized. Victory is determined by sheer weight of numbers rather than tactical and strategic brilliance. Dominion was supposed to place limits on the amount of space an alliance and provide opportunities for smaller corporations and alliances to gain a foothold on the frontiers. Neither of these have been the case. Dominion failed.
Yes it did, it failed horribly. Quote:
A variety of possible solutions to these issues were discussed, and the proliferation of supercaps was probably the on that drew the most attention. It was concluded that makeing them weaker through a straight nerf of their combat capabilities was not a solution as this would simply lead to larger numbers being fielded. A variety of ideas were put forward which would make them harder to move around, the most promising of which was a ‘Cyno Spooling’ time. Basically the idea is this: Cyno pilot drops a cyno in the destination system and depending on the distance from the departure system it takes a certain time to either get the cyno field up to the required strength or for the capital ships jump drives to get up to speed to make the jump. This time would increase with distance and the cyno would need to be defended during this period. This would limit the ability of Super-Capital (and Capital) fleets to hotdrop on targets with no warning from half the galazy away, it would also mean that a Capital fleet would not be able to cross the entire galaxy in about 20 minutes.
Decent idea, I support this product and/or service. |

Edited by: Shepard Book on 10/01/2011 21:28:58With respect to presentations of non-EVE CCP products (such as Dust), the CSM has no problem with this, but feels they should have their own sessions as opposed to being mixed in with major EVE presentations.  Dust can effect 0.0 and therefore it should be there  |

Not really. It will least effect 0.0. You can only settle a planet if your alliance holds sov of system. Hiring Mercs in 0.0 will be hiring mercs against your corp/ally mates. Great game design eh? |

1) a setting such that portraits never load on the local member list (even when you right click->show info);
2) make the player/corp show info screens *never* default to the standings tab, as this causes clients to lag for 1-15 seconds while all the standings crap is loaded when the client arbitrarily decides to open up the Show Info page with the standings tab open.
I don't suppose these were discussed as possibilities? |

"apparently the cost of explaining to the Icelandic Tax Vikings"
"a single player (who requested anonymity) donated over 240 PLEX in a single contribution"
Good job on the charity stuff - definitely the most important thing discussed. And I'm being serious. RL > Eve.

Ed: And let me donate any time. :)
Agreed. It's a highly worthy effort, and I look forward to its implementation. Also, regarding Tax Vikings...any chance you'd be willing to export some to the US? |

Lots of noteworthy stuff here :
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
These are all really great ideas about changing 0.0. Simply allowing people to sign non-aggression "usage" treaties if they enter a system for the first time would really blow 0.0 out of the water, causing many solo pilots to make the plunge. Also, doing something to increase the number of routes to 0.0, and I like the idea of "convoys" and supply lines. It really reminds me of the old west, and actual warfare, where supply lines are a huge tactical part. Also for trade and other economic things. I love the idea about "locking down" carriers and titans, allowing them to act as mini-bases. I really love all these ideas actually, and I'm really excited to know there's a dedicated special effects developer, and they now have a new font!! I can't wait to play EVE on my 50" television in my livingroom!  |

Well, I'm a big fan of new forums. To keep the discussion in this thread on track, I won't comment on any of the other stuff posted until we get a comments thread of those meeting minutes.

Quote:
The CSM expressed concern about continuity within the CSM about processes, methods, information and other things that are generally inherited by members going between CSMs. CCP revealed that the exact same concerns had been voiced within CCP, and thus the CSM would get the project of creating a continuity document for the next CSM in order to make the transition as smooth as possible.
One option is to rotate out only half the CSM with each election. This would mean having elections twice as often (for only half the positions), but gives overlap between successive CSMs. |

If everyone was allowed to vote in each election, this would effectively double the power of large voting blocks; they would be more easily able to get multiple members on the CSM. Smaller constituencies would get squeezed out. |

It also doubles voting power of small voting blocks. Another alternative is to give the Chair of each particular CSM a guaranteed slot on the following CSM(not necessarily as chair). Will result that there will always be at least one person on the CSM that was on the previous one. |

Why did we get the last third of the minutes first? Let's try chronological order.
That would require waiting until Friday, and releasing everything in one chunk. So instead, we decided on thematic groupings (this one is "Community Issues"), which will also make it easier for interested devs to monitor the threads, since instead of one general thread there will be three more specific ones.
This makes a fair bit of sense. That said I found these notes reasonably dry and not of a lot of relevance. I would prefer seeing everything at once, even if it was broken into 3 pieces and posted at the same time. Outside of midly toubling "...and while the CSM is generally in favor of the idea of blatant vote-buying at FanFest..." I saw nothing worth the time spent reading, at least as a non-CSM Eve player. As some one stated above it was more about housekeeping rather then anything that the player base is looking for from the CSM. TBH, why should I care how the CSM is represented at Fanfest? I (nor most of the player base) will be there and as stated the CSM can't give out more info they they do because of the NDA so it's not like a CSM panel video on Youtube is gonna be worth watching. So why is this important? More sound proofing for meeting rooms? How does this apply to game play in Eve? Seems that the Fanfest stuff was outside of the purview of the CSM so not sure why time was even wasted on that. I would suggest CCP hand out a satisfaction survey to FanFest participants at the end of Fanfest, it would be a better use of resources. Have a Booth Girl hand them out. Gotta keep the hot chicks employed some how! Anyway, thanks for the effort. I'll be waiting for the meaty part. It always fun to watch how badly players can spin some random mole hill into a mountain. |

Okay, firstly, the devblog title should have the words "Part 1 of 3" in it.
Secondly, the sentence "The other two sections will be released within the next week." should be bolded.
I just saw "meeting minutes", skimmed for the download link, read, and was then disappointed at the lack of substance. It wasn't until I clicked the comments thread that I realised that they really were lacking in content. |

Dust can effect 0.0 and therefore it should be there
Considering the CSM does not provide feedback or comments regarding DUST, and that it does not appear CCP has sorted out exactly what the connection between EVE and DUST will be (see October minutes), I respectfully disagree.
Shouldn't we ( you) be elbowing your way to the table in order to start giving feedback and comments before something dreadful happens and reacting to it? Wouldn't it be fun to be just a little bit pro-active for once? KB |

On the forums:
Why a 'like' feature instead of the ability to rate posts as useful or trash (+1/-1)?
Has planning taken place for the sudden rush of new avatars that will be needed for the forums and the method for updating portraits used (will the temporary low quality pictures become immediately usable by the forums, or will everyone become blank?)
Fanfest:
The limited capacity meetings seem like a good idea

"The UI discussion them moved on to look at the proposals brought up by the CSM in October. Of the 75 items on the list over half are either done or in progress and only 6 were turned down completely. The rest were flagged as being tricky, time intensive and/or had questions raised about whether they were worth doing."
I am really curious which 6 were turned down completely.

Did you ever look at the FF videos and followed the roundtable/panel discussions? With those minutes there is a more complete picture now about what and how things are being organized over there. And people joining/leaving the room all the time cause there are other panels/etc going on is quite disturbing. Originally by: Ashina Sito

Did you ever try to understand what some of the questions or answers had been in a roundtable/panel discussion on those FF videos? I'm all for better soundquality. Originally by: Ashina Sito
