EVE Information Portal

Not sure if local is still doing it. but Dodixie solar system says 516 in local all the years ive played never seen it past 400.

Hate the new inventory missles are amazing make the unified inventory optional please ccp.

Well been thinking of taking a short break from eve but with this new inventory might be a long long break it really sucks. You need to give people the choice of which way they want their inventory to be. until then looks like my 4 accounts will be ending soon not sure if I am gonna return or not fly safe and good luck

Why does eve use SOOO much more cpu to run multiple clients now? How come I keep getting "Socket Closed" all the time now? I admit to being a carebear and can live without the chat windows updating who is and is not online atm. I HATE the new inventory situation. Salvaging is a nightmare..
However the worst thing is the Socket closed crap.. How am I supposed to run missions?

Hello?????

Patch 2 and it's still there. Is this actually going to be fixed or declared a new "feature"?

Instead they are slowly fixing the new inventory, making it somewhat useable. Unfortunately the main problem will stay: About 80% of what I do with items is drag & drop between different instances and forms of containers. And this is where a one-window-solution will always suck, no matter how nicely it is animated.
And the POS modules still don't remember what division I'm using. Fail.

Ok CCP here is my point of view why I dislike the new item management system and why I require the old system back:

Bust first: I know it was a really hell of work to do that patch and I really like the new missiles and the changes you have made.

If you have any question pleas send me an ingame mail (link to your post is ok).

1.Size

The new item management system requires too much space on my screen. If I´m flying in space and wnat to have my cargohold in one corner to observe cap booster reserve or ammo/booster reserve it´s now taking more space even if I put the window as small as I can (due to the changed frame wideness). If I have the window as small as before I can´t see as much details as before. Information like the price are maybe nice for traders but really not needed in pvp.

Se you can keep the function but you should implement a switch that players can decide if they want to keep it or not (same with the number of items )

2. Lag

Yeah you have seen right. Lag. If you have a large battlefield with very much wrecks youneed a long time till you have loaded the full number of wrecks/cans and that´s maybe too late to loot expensive items or is really pissing you off if you are salvaging.
That leads to point 3.

But first I have to mention posses. You will have a hell of a lot of silos and hangars which you in most cases can´t even acces. So why are they in that list? and additionally they are creating massive lag while you enter the forcefield.

3. Lack of overwiev

If you try to loot from a field with many wrecks it´s taking ages til you have found the wreck you want to loot and It´s even more time til you find your cargo even if you have your ships cargo deattached with shift + drag n drop. If you already found the wreck in the overwiev or in space you don´t want to search for the right cargocontainer in that item management system.

Overview is important for all players But I think It´s most important for carrier/supecarrier and other cap pilots because they need their hangars on different places on the screen to switch items/ships/fuel fast. And as a carrier pilot I´m really pissed because that means lag (because I just need my cargo and my fuel bay and not all other stuff, too).

4. Autorest of set positions

So I finally deattached my ships cargohold and put it in one of the corners. Now I´m docking. And suprise it is again in the middle of my screen (where I don´t want it to be!!!!!!!!!).

That´s really bad for me but It´s worse for miners (which you tried to satisfy with your last patch and now you are giving them a slap direct into their face) and I think the salvaging ppl are upset, too because of the damn long list of containers which will take ages to load and is complicated to manage if you just loot all.


That´s what I´ve found out until now and I may add some things in other posts.
As written above if you (CCP) have a question please write me an ingame mail (with link to your post is ok)

New unified inventory needs to be a power user mode... something like the original, simpler mechanism should be the default.

First I'd like to say the missiles look amazing. I'm not sure exactly what the motion is about right after they launch, before they ensue the target, they sort of Z out into space and then head off, kinda odd. Not so much a big deal, just little details.

Stealth Bombers look pretty awesome. The T1 to T2 hull characteristics are not really the same from what I can see.

War Dec information is very nice, very informative, so far I'm a fan. I also think the factional warfare is pretty well done. I look forward to jumping into that at some point.

Item management I find very frustrating and I don't think it's a "you'll get used to it" thing.
*When I dock, all of my inventory windows are closed, I need to reopen them.
*The size taken up the by tree to the left (though you can collapse it, that's nice) and the approximate value on the bottom (does not go away, unnecessary space) is a little too much. Maybe make the value space collapseable also?
*Personally not fond of my ship being removed from the hangar when I make it active, I think the box around it was sufficient.
*For those of us that sort hangar items into cans, the filter feature is incredibly useless.
*Opening a wreck or can in space over your inventory is a pain also. The Loot All option is awesome when you have the room, but if you want to pick and chose, you need to have the tree open and drop things in the right spot. This kinda hits the size issue again.

I think separate windows was much easier, I personally liked being able to just see what I have in what container and being able to drag and drop freely instead of trying to find the name in the tree and possibly putting it in the location above or below.

Call it nitpicking, say I'm unreasonable or it doesn't make sense, but personally I like the old inventory system. Make it an option to revert at least.

Please give the players a choice between the old inventory system and the new unified inventory system.

Thanks!

No. Do not.

Bring back 'Trauma' missiles, too.
