EVE General Discussion

Did we really need this? I mean, apart from a flashing red box, gunfire trails, sound effects, and damage notifications saying 'this sentry is killing you', now we also need a red halo? How much easymode do we need to add to the game? I mean, you changed missle names b/c color coded missles were confusing some how, you changed propmod names b/c people couldn't figure out how to right click, you added arrows to show people if they're in range, and you added popups that calculate your gun's range and dps for you (that you can't turn off b/c they're part of the super customizable UI). What's next? Add an autopilot button that also engages targets for you, or better yet, making it to autopilot warps you to zero, thus making the game easier for all macros and invalids?

At some point, we just have to accept that some things in eve and in games at large are hard and that it's not a bad thing if they are. It's not like all this information was hidden somewhere before these patches, you just had to actually look at it as opposed to having it spoon fed to you. If I wanted a game to do all the work for me I'd play every other MMO out there.

TL;DR

whaaaaaaan

/fixed

more informational HUD is never a bad thing. If the effect is overly obtrusive perhaps they could lessen it for sentries (i've not seen it yet)

Please post feedback on EVE Online: Retribution here.

Do not create additional threads for it, as this spreads out feedback and some might not be seen.
