I was going to make a lengthy post about the shortcomings of the inventory system, about how all those 'patches' in the patch-note make a trivial amount of incremental change, about how you could really help things by bringing back some of those hanger icons etc. but it's just so infuriating!

This exercise at cramming down a straight-jacketed "unified" inventory has been an illustration of bad game design, and an even worse exercise of trying to apply band-aids to a fundamentally sub-par feature set without tackling root causes of the issue.

You stubborn refusal to mimic past behavior or reduce inherent inefficiencies while pushing through relatively insignificant changes after weeks since the last round and expecting us to recognize them as acceptable fixes is ... disappointing.

POS silo closes when out of range. Thanks for fixing that.

Cloaked ships so far appear to behave correctly for gate jumps and station docking

Why was time wasted on prettying up the unified inventory instead of putting in desperately need features and/or fixing broken mechanics?
Seriously looks like a repeat of WiS garbage over functionality/bug fixing.

My feedback is a general "meh"

Terrible FPS. Using Windows 7, I was able to run 3 clients at a time at 40-55 FPS each no problem before 1.1 (exception being when one or more characters was at a POS, **** FPS then). Now I'm hovering around 20 for one client, and that's with GPU particles off in the settings, and everything set to "Performance" mode (no change switching between "Quality" and "Performance" mode btw). I'm thinking that something definitely changed to generate this drop in FPS that so many users are seeing now.

Some Minnie ships look cool now. Most seem like a step sideways rather than an improvement, and some I downright dislike. Not happy with the removal of bits and pieces that added flavor to ships (but hey, that direction is nothing new anymore). The Prowler is missing the cool glowy force field-y effect around its midsection. That definitely made it visually unique and interesting. The Mastodon is missing the cool red lights. The Hurricane looks plastic. Rather than looking like a devious dragon/lizard, the Vaga looks like it's bald and sad, and not at all attractive. Too many of the T2 ships look like they bought some camo shirts from the NeX store and lazily stretched it over their hulls. Most ships in game now, and I'm not talking about just Minmatar, look kind of bad in darker environments (e.g. when not in systems right next to bright nebulae, C5 and C6 wormholes, etc). Overall I'm pretty underwhelmed with much of the new ship-related art lately.

The inventory is still gimpy. Thanks for adding some features, I like the fact that POS arrays that are out of access range are greyed out and I like the green background for the current ship. But the "unified" portion of it is still kind of grating since it limits customization and tries to force everything into the same type of functionality. E.g. I don't like it that if I select "List" view, it applies that view to every window and I can't select a different view for another window without *that* applying to everything as well. At my POS I like to have everything but the SMAs in "List" view because I just really prefer it, more compact, but I prefer the "Details" view for the SMAs because it makes ship identification much easier by giving an icon which allows me to quickly distinguish between, say, a Drake and a Hurricane (not as straightforward in the "List" view since they are all "Battlecruiser" and I don't necessarily remember which name goes with what, esp. if it's not my ship). Sure, I can quickly switch views, but fact is, remembering views was a functionality of the old system that's currently lost when navigating the inventory tree. An annoyance that is minor, yet it's entirely unnecessary.

Thanks for reducing the PI timer, please don't revert it.

There are changes true.

Still a ways to go though, before you stop getting angry people calling for a roll-back.

- Very much need to be able to make short cuts to get to commonly used things in secondary windows. Right click menus and be able to optionally add perm icons to the Neocom (Although I can imagine them disappearing when not available). Nothing should take more clicks or time to get to than it used to. Be best even to improve accessibility.

Suggest for Neocom Icons/Buttons and right click menus:

Active Ship Hanger
Active Ship Drone Bay
Ship Hanger
Item Hanger
Station Corp Hangers (Preferably with some sort of tabs or subtree for divisions and member hangers)
Market Deliveries / Returns for Corp
(Probably a few more for heavy POS tower users and Orca's in Fleets but I am a bit at a loss to figure out how that should work since it's less clear from context what we would be requesting.)

- I find it annoying that shift-right clicking on the Inventory window with a just a secondary window open only gives focus to the secondary window. Opening a new primary window would be much better.

- Opening up wrecks and cans in secondary windows and making them go away when emptied would probably also make a few people less irate with you. Perhaps even happy.

- Various performance issues other folk have pointed out.

By far, the stupidest thing is that when you loot all, the window reverts to my cargohold.

The only reason why I can see someone would do that, is if they don't actually play the damn game.

W/e.

Couple of quick thoughts:
One: you just crushed an entire market of the cloths that where limited issue. This included the black/red/gold men’s and women’s dress tops and the limited edition Ishokona shirt. Seriously CCP, What were you thinking? You can limit the damage if you yank them out of the NEX store tonight. Assuming you read this post
Two: what about the rest of the 200 items? By releasing so few items you’re not allowing us the ability to “customize” our toons as we’ll all look the same inside of a week. The Jita fire is out roll with it and be bold!
Three:
When are you adding the Dust 514 items so I can get my original “Merc Body Armor” back that I’ve been waiting on since the avatar update? ;)
Four: Don’t shoot me because I like WIS. I like FIS more…

Minmatar ships TOO SHINY. Come on people. IN RUST WE TRUST remember? What happened to our beloved hunks of Metal? Why you want to make all EVE's ships shiny? There's nothing unique about Minmatar now if they can polish their ships :( Sad choice.
I like the improved Drake.

Still hate the Unified Inventory. I can't stand it. I will have nothing good to say about it until you revert or seriously improve it.

I suspect that a big part of the problem arose when some genius decided to change the UI from a replacement of the Assets tab, as it was originally advertised, to a replacement of all-things-inventory.

constant crashing..

Eve freezes followed by white screen of death


never happened till this patch.. super fail cant even play eve..

Well now crashing has lead to 2 deaths which i know CCP will give me some Bullsh!t excuse and i will get no reimbursement anway

so posting super mad
