Hakaru, thank you very much for pointing out that option for the Ships and Items tab!

I have to say, as bad as the UI derp was, it's worse that they don't share it when they sort of underped part of it, albeit in a half-assed way =)

fix the UI.
Make it possible to use the game without ever have to touch or even see the fu*king tree view.

NP. Always glad to help a brother (or sister) out.

I hate to tell ya, but the station interface has had the ships and inventory tabs available since Inferno 1.0, back in late May. In fact, we discussed it as an alternative to the less-than-desirable tree-view when we were testing out the new UI on Sisi.

Why the heck cant I access the fuel bay by right click? Which rretard is responsible for this sh*t??

I just came back to eve after about 7 months away.

Did anyone in QA try organizing and loading a carrier before doing this new inventory system?

Not a diplo.

User: "Yeah, but, I still can't tow my boat with it. I do that like, twice a day. I need a pickup, not a bicycle."

User: "I don't want to drive on two wheels. I have no need to drive on two wheels. I want to tow my boat."

how true :(

I let all my accounts run out after Inferno. Playing some weeks something else. Read the forum. Read the patchnotes on Inferno 1.2.

I thought that they have enough time to bring in the fixes so that i can play EVE again.
After patch yesterday i played some hours and it feels much more better. Right Click on ship is back again (thank you CCP).
Inventory and workflow is better then before but feels not even like before Inferno. So much things did not work as expected.

Also get an error if i try to get some things out of my Orca with an alt which is not in my Corp but in my fleet and so on like all the years before (i can shot you without being concorded, but get a red flag if i try to get a mining crystal out of my fleet Orca hangar (d'oh).

Got some new shiny and blinky tooltips nobody (except newbys during tutorial) needs.

Tested the new ORE Ships. Could be quite good. Time will tell.

CCP did the same failure like in the past. Brings in a patch which is only partial testet on SISI. Released the patch without examine all bug reports. Shoots up the hole spawn mechanic. Shame on you. Maybe i should take another timeout from EVE. Maybe for 2 or 3 months?

Did somebody recognise that if you try to move a window (click on window move the cursor) the cursor is miles ahead and then the window follows or most of the time follow not? Try to move a window on the top of the screen. Maybe im a little bit handicapped but in "Windows" it always works as intended.

Awesome thread will be my first words here.
Did it take just as much to get the Captains Quaters as an option back when they forced that one on us ? Or do we need atleast 100 pages here from somewhat angry customers to get the new inventory system as an OPTION.
To be honest I have learned to use the new system by now, but its not even close to as good or FUNCTIONAL as the old one, specially if your planing on capital logistics etc.

arsed typing everything thats already been said..... i already said it in a petition because it was ****ed up... couldnt do anything...

and your cargo and loot froma wreck is a pain in the arse also... having to hold shift on a right click open wreck/cargo just to get a seperate window...

looting stuff is now worse specially when its a race... and the LOOT ALL buton is worthless... maybe i dont have much room and only want t2 modules or faction stuff and none of the crap its dropped like a tonne of ammo or rubbish??? which would otherwise fill my cargo before getting anything...

So, CCP. you have had more than just a couple of days to fix this piece of garbage that you still consider as "better".


Tried looting the field after a big battle yesterday.... had to relog as your "better" piece of garbage took over 7 mins to load anything.

Can't even be arsed to post bug reports as it is clear you find it to hard to read them anyway.

I have no idea what your definition about "better" is but yeah .. this is far from it.


I suggest, before you start messing with "improving" ship balance and introduce even more useless **** in the game that you first FIX the ISSUES.

Also, instead of brining in more ships. Your black ops still need to be tuned, as does your mother ships, titans and the poor Hyena. I dunno what that poor animal did to you but ... it sure is "better" when it is dead and buried

THIS.

Still hate the new Unified Inventory. At least the right click options are back. It's still crap and they should re-code the old system back, given that the UI as been so roundly welcomed by the paying player base. Still waiting for a dev blog containing the next round of changes.

SHILL HATE THIS UI!!

its gotten 1% better with all the patches and fixes to it. IT IS STILL A BIG PILE OF CRAP!

i have been moving allot of assets as of lately and this UI is always in the way of doing simple task fast.
the tree is crap!
the "My Filters" is crap and i cant make it go away, or stay minimized, but that dose not mean you need to fix it to stay minimized, it needs a way to kill it to never come back!
the tree is crap!
the borders are toooooo big!
the tree is crap!
o and i don't want too forget THE TREE IS CRAP!

Yeah - Tutorial Icon that keeps reappearing.

Oh and the Unified Inventory that was supposed to have been fixed, but looks like it was "unfixed" and is just as crappy as it has ever been.
For example: Inventory windows don't "remember" if the Filter option was expanded or collapsed, for ANY and EVERY inventory window, IN AND OUT of station (in every ship, every POS, etc, regardless of how many times you have been in that ship, on that toon, opening that container, within the last few minutes/days/weeks/etc).

The "Item" Icon that decides you really don't want to look at your hangar inventory, but would rather display the contents of your Pod cargo bay (WTF ?!?!?) (or whatever ship you are currently in).

Or like how if you have your Hangar window open and undock, suddenly it is now your Ship Cargohold window, regardless of where you normally would have that window positioned.

Or how when you click the icon to open your cargo hold, it opens in the same location/size window that your Item (Hangar) window would normally open in. Of course, if you use "shift-click" it opens where it should, but if there is a specific icon to open a specific thing, why do I have to "shift-click" to have it open where I want ? It's not like I can click the same icon IN STATION and therefore confuse the client about which CARGO HOLD window I want to open.

Same goes for POS mods. Seems odd if I click on a POCO and then the "Access Storage" icon, the POCO window opens where I had it set previously, but if I click on a POS mod and then click the "Access Storage " icon, it opens the window in the same place as my Item (hangar) Inventory window, unless (again) I use the "shift-click", which (again) if there is a specific icon to open a specific thing, why do I have to "shift-click" to have it open where I want ?

Oh yeah - another feature that I really, REALLY like is the way that, when you transfer a large number of items from one window to another (say, from a trade window to your inventory, or from Inventory to a corp hangar, or from a cargo hold to a CHA) the inventory tree has to refresh after EACH item is moved. Item moves, inventory tree refreshes, next item moves, tree refreshes, next item (etc, etc).
That is and especially AWESOME feature when transferring a couple hundred items at a time ! Simply AMAZES me to have to sit there waiting and waiting until finally the last item gets moved and the tree refreshes for the last time !

Ah forget it. I give up on this crap. Maybe they'll refix it (again) in 2-3 years. Or not. After all, it has been YEARS and I still can't get the Trade window to open where I want it, regardless if I pin/unpin/resize/relocate it 3,000 times.

another week has passed without any reaction from CCP;


your inventory crap still sucks. Takes ages to load, pop open when it doesn't need to and the way around.

your merge ships and item solutions sucks just as bad.

Two issues we’ll fix but have not found the exact solution to

There are two things we´d really like to change but don´t have a nailed down solution to just yet.

One is persisting windows that only work in certain places (you have a window that only works in the station and you want it to be open and in the same location the next time you dock for example).
What is the status of this initiative? Persistence in both position and user-defined configurations (view type, sorting column, etc.) is not consistently working across all of the various Inventory windows / containers.

IMHO, it is helpful to both customers and CCP to have clearly defined ways in which the client is intended to behave in order to properly set customer expectations and to have more effective defect (bug) reporting. Is this something that CCP is willing to publish?

Still kind of waiting for the My Filters window to remember it's position, and windows to remember their state. Any chance this is still being worked on, or has "it's good enough" set in and you've moved onto "good enough" tooltips?

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

It's the weekend, we won't be able to reply at the same pace as we can during the weekdays.

In general though, I'll happily push changes to the inventory out every single week until we're happy. That's something I don't think we've ever done before, but if that's what it takes to make this good, then so be it.


3 months later, still waiting on those fixes.
