The look of the inventory system is nice.

Sadly its functionality is trash. Did you guys even use this crap before you deployed it? Seriously.

Salvaging a site of wrecks now is painful as the inventory window switches to the contents of your ship after looting EVERY TIME. How about just making the window disappear after looting like it did before?

Moving cargo from one container, whether it be a storage container, my items hangar, or a ship's cargo hold, is crazy clumsy. This could easily be resolved by allowing the users to override which types of containers open in a new window by default in some sort of settings or preferences screen.

Thank you CCP, for again releasing something that isn't really finished yet. Its almost like you crashed my emotional attachment to ship spinning again. Do you guys actually have real software developers over there or do you just take some of the kids from the local schools and let them slap some crap together as part of their finals?

EDIT: Why in the hell does SISI exist? Players give feedback but it must be routed straight to /dev/null. I'm tired of putting up with insanely bad software on a test server only to revisit my exact experiences after release. Some people say Eve is a sandbox. For the past year at least, its more like a dumpster.

Mac OsX 10.7.4 :

lost connection after 5 minutes of inactivity in the game, never happened before new version.

The only saving grace of the assnine inventory system on the test server was being able to turn it off. Yet you didn't listen. WHY does CCP insist on messing with things that work fine, were told that was a horrible idea, instead of fixing things that need fixed. Overview and pos hangers are two that need overhauled totally.

Also 99.8% of the time I don't care one bit about the value of my cargo hold or cans. Yet I am forced to have wasted space with that junk. It takes up critical space.

Also moving cap ships and gear around is so cumbersome. Rorq pilots are having nightmares. Plus its laggy.

What worked smoothly and easily before you have now made cumbersome, inefficient and ********. Why should I have to shift click to open a can in a window instead of having a setting to make it do that by default.

This keeps up and I'll be having to drop a few accounts because its so cumbersome and such a pain that it becomes a distraction and could cause me to get jumped.

As others have said roll this back. You finally did it with the station walking around, do it with this.

I think the new inventory is awesome. Less windows means less clutter. and its easy. i dont get the big deal. Nice job guys

So, are you guys ever going to make the 'Our Wars tab' show the time that the war ends again (once cooldown has started), or just ignore this incredibly important piece of information? For those of us involved in many wars at a time, this information is vital to our operations.

I went to log on to eve this morning as I normally do to check on skill queues, personnel issues. maybe buy and fit a new ship to bring into the wormhole system. I've done this almost every day for 2 years.

Today something different happened.

I found that I just could not face the idea of navigating the the new unified inventory.

So I didn't log on - check the server logs if you like.

I could sit and write a paper on how the new unified systems does not meet user needs. You could counter it with a well constructed argument about how it does meet my needs, but that I just don't like the way it works.

Both have merit, but what it boils down to is that it turned, for me, an excellent game that I loved into an unpleasant UI annoyance.

I run a small wormhole alliance - probably 100 human beings who regularly log on and fly and fight with me. When I am online, more gets done. More missions, more sleepers, more PVP and so on, and it's been great - I have loved every hour of it.

So 100 players' game experience is directly affected by how often I play.

Right now, my motivation to play has been removed. For me, the UI is just too... difficult. Irrationally perhaps, I spit blood every time I see it. Maybe because until now I felt irrationally positive about Eve. Who knows?

It seems like such a small thing, and yet it turns out that it has affected my play experience to the extent that I no longer wish to log on.

So 100 player's game experiences are about to become less engaging. Some of them will drift off and stop playing. They'll kill fewer ships, produce fewer nano-ribbons, buy fewer PLEX and spend less money on subscriptions.

I know I'm not alone in how I feel about this - I've read the forum and consulted the guys in my alliance.

Out of 30 people's view I canvassed directly last night, 1 was OK with the new system. 29 loathed it - quite vehemently.

I am sorry we didn't like your new baby. Truly, because I was looking forward to using a few of the new modules:
drone damage mods - wonderful news for a gallente pilot like me, new possibilities
cpu rigs - again, helping enhance gallente drone combat - their advertised strength
the new shield booster - giving active-tanked shield roams new angles - great!
new armour mod - possibly very helpful in small-scale pvp - I was planning to test that today... but.. now I just don't want to.

No-one likes criticism. It must be very hard to have championed this change through the design authorities at CCP, and to see such vitriol expressed by the player community must be upsetting, not to mention potentially career-damaging. There is a simple answer, please let me optionally enable and disable the new look. This way we all win. CCP becomes once again the feted champion of the players, and we all get to quietly forget that this ever happened.

Here is what I need to see before I am going to want to play with the UI again:
1. corporate division tabs back at the top (a division is not a 'kind of' container)
2. one click, one container opens, and only one. No subscriptions to all containers on grid.
3. Each container remembers its exact position and size in my client cache
4. ISK value removed
5. thin borders. keep the "progress bar" if you like, but make it 2 pixels high.
6. container windows auto-dock with each other - and here's where your inventory tree could be used:

note: I don't mind whether multiple docked containers have horizontal tabs or a vertical tree - so long as I choose how many are in the window cluster. I don't want every loot can, every gun emplacement, every carrier corporate hangar, every ship maintenance array and every assembly array. I never will.

7. separate ship, items, deliveries and corporate hangar buttons in a station. These things are not equivalent. In code I know they are all a "kind of" container, but when I use them they represent very different contexts and use cases.

So, farewell for now. I'll monitor the forums for a while to see if there will be movement on this. If not, you'll probably lose me.

I have played for 2 years, and bought 48 PLEX for my 2 accounts. Equivalent of close to £500. I have also lead a corporation and alliance of players who now regularly PLEX their accounts, feeding the Eve PLEX market, creating demand - which means that some wealthy players have been able to take advantage, trading cash for ISK, thus feeding CCP, its employees and directors.

Last time this happened (in-station 3rd-person view), the wise path was taken. CCP provided a check box, I clicked it, and I have never ever once even considered un-checking it to take a look at a man sitting on a sofa. So the precedent is set. You can allow us to undo this UI change, and really you must. The economics will speak for themselves in short order.

Sincerely.

Less that one year ago, CCP draw a line in the sand, asking us to trust them one ome time;

They said they learned from they're mistakes, and that us, the customers won't be ever put in the same situation again... yea, right

That "line in the sand" was about releasing incomplete and untested software on servers, and i'm very disappointed to see that you CCP, forgot your promises in less than one year.

Let me put it clear: your new UI system is TRASH;
the developers that made it have no idea how this game is played;
the inventory thing it's not a ******* management accounting thing, it's way more that that; i don't care how much my hangar stuff worth every time i dock, i don't wanna load those one million items from corp hangar every time i dock...
i want to have a nice, fast and smooth working sistem that allows me to dock, refit, resupply, undock in seconds, for example; you know, like the system you, CCP just ERASED!?

This change is a ******** one in so many ways, and the ppl that pushed this on should be fired!
How about "if it aint broken, don't fix it"???

CCP you are stepping on very thin ice here, and if you belive that your costumers have forgot about last year fiasco and your promises, you are terribly wrong!

This account will expire in 3 days, and guess what..?

P.s. : CCP, feel free to mail me in the future, about your "new feature": "you may now use the old inventory system again"

i want 50 or 100-stacks for datacores pls.

5-stacks is so annoying clickfest

Otherwise great patch

I agree with the guys who have said if it aint broken don't fix it CCP. Very frustrated with the system crashes and the drones I been loosing as a result of downloading the latest release (not to mention new inventory). I have 3 accounts and thinking of leaving all together. There are positives to this release but its the negatives that make this game less enjoyable to play and the ones people will focus on.

I once thought that this character along with the rest of my 'toons' would outlive me. This is looking increasingly less likely.
