EVE Information Portal

not necessarily, until recently eve retained people longer than any other MMO once they got over the learning cliff.

CCP seems to be trying to change this however.

Becasue we, the player base, suck donkey balls.

CCP know's best dude, trust them to screw us .. err ... sorry, to take us where we dont know

its ok.

were going to get some of the functionality back...........maybe.....eventually....possibly

why cant we have it all back CCP?

why cant we have the BETTER inventory back?

it really amazes me how you guys work, on onset, i think you guys knew you're pushing a very buggy patch/expansion, unless window not retaining its sort order, or an index pane that resets its size every time you reopen a window or the filter tab that keeps expanding every window reopening, are features...

you pushed a feature that never got an acceptance on SiSi, i marvel at your work ethics and astounded that you could still keep your jobs.

.... and it wouldn't be hard to do either.

- temporary rollback.... those who must save face can do so. I'd live with this just to get this current mess out of the game.
- put this system back on Sisi.... where it belonged, and still belongs.

Take the pages and pages of reviews, suggestions, recommendations, likes and dislikes: begin modifying the system.
- This time Devs approach the work with a focus on the player-driven feedback
- Work towards a targeted reintroduction to the game of parts of this system, with:
- Retention of functions that have met with approval
- Elimination of functions that have infuriated many players
- Strong focus on player-driven customization that includes shutting of unwanted, unneeded functions
- Placement of the system in Assets, not Inventory.

CCP can still tout having 'improved' part of the game, and pilots can get back to playing the game.

For the win ==>> This system is out of the game while in intensive care.

Come on CCP Soundwave.... a bit of battlefield triage would generate much good will from some extraordinarily aggravated players.

Essentially this is telling me WE (the unhappy playerbase) are forced to deal with this major cluster**** for months while you guys at CCP slowly ATTEMPT to get us back the easy interface we used to have. Let me ask you this Soundwave, do you seriously expect us to keep paying our hard earned money for you guys to work out all the bugs? I demand to know why this was released knowing full well there were tons of problems with it. Why did you bother having players give you feedback on SiSi about this if you guys at CCP were not going to listen to their feedback?

I know I am not the first but I have cancelled all my subs. I honestly feel as though I have been stolen from. I truly wish I could get my money back for one of my subs that just recently got another 3 months worth of time on it. Well D3 here I come.

I just don't get how the Inventory System ever made it into the patch in the state it was in.
Do the guys that made it even play EVE?, did they ever once, get in a ship and fly around and test it out?
Surely they would only need a few minutes to understand that what they had produced is no where near what would be good enough and fix it.
CCP you could have easily combated all this rage by just getting some of your own employees that play to test this out for a few minutes. Does QA only look at code or do they actually test to see if it works as intended too?

You guys have your internal magazines to challenge how you each think of EVE and radical idea's to change it, but does any of your "teams" go to another "team" and go, this is what we have got, you think this will work? or are you so set in your "teams" you dont work as a single Team.

I've given some constructive feedback about the Inventory system in another thread a few days ago, but the more I use it, the more I just can't believe that you guys would release it in the state it was in.

Of course you will constantly improve it and make it how it should have been, but this should have been little tweaks, not another overhaul of a good idea that you got horribly wrong.

Cheers for the patch CCP but come on, play the damn game.

Ok I logged in to my other account this morning and found that all my items are gone. Ships are there, no assets. It seems to only have affected the station I call home. Everything was there before downtime and now is not. Makes it hard to train a skill when that skill was in a station container that has vanished! My other accounts are ok, just that one is affected. Tried several things like undocking,relogging,clearing cache... nothing works. I subbed a petition and bug report. I know you guys are busy but this makes that acct. pretty much useless until I get my stuff back. Thanks

Please give us the option of disabling this. It's slow, confusing, and just unworkable. Trying to loot wrecks quickly is impossible now; i've had to leave the loot behind on several kills today.

The old system was perfect, why can't we have rollback :(

If this feature is not what you guys wanted it to be, why the hell do we have to live with it?

That's what has people pissed off. You pushed out something very poor, which you now admit is poor, and yet you still want us to live with it so you can fiddle around on the margins. Your apology doesn't make our gameplay better. The only way you can make things better is to MAKE GOOD on doing everything you can to fix it.

Meanwhile, I am wondering if you can even articulate the top 3 concerns players have about your inventory fiasco. The system is fundamentally wrong for this audience and this style of game. A sandbox game has literally 10s of thousands of unique cases which can only be handled by having an incredibly flexible system so people can devise their own gameplay patterns.

It is CRUCIAL that you don't fit players into one size fits all solutions, because that will never be the case in a sandbox. It's bad enough corporations, contracts and insurance are shite in this game, but to seriously frak up the way people interact with their assets and capacity to quickly iterate for battle means you guys are sabotaging thousands if not 10s of thousands of experiences.

You're making the game worse, and too proud to reverse course. Short-sighted.
