EVE Information Portal

I lost some cans whilst exploring because these tooltips blocked my view in space

I also know what the overview symbols mean

PLEASE GIVE US A DISABLE OPTION (or at least a disable in space option) This isn't space-wow...

These are great for newbies.. but cmon you just celebrated yoru 11th b'day... so you know there are players older than a month :)

I hope it will be possible to disable most of this tooltips at all!!!

When you are going to add or improve some interface features like this – please, test it first! Or give us an opportunity to disable it immediately without waiting next patch! It is dangerous to fly in a fleet now! Really, I was near to lose my ship running Incursions yesterday because of this stupid tooltips falling on me from every place!

And tell me please, how many idiots are playing this game so you need to explain via tooltips what “close window” button is really doing???

This ^. I really preferred just the icons when you would mouse over a cluster of celestials/wrecks. The giant black background is just aggravating.

That would make sense, as anything on grid had to be loaded already for overview, et; al.

please can you create a way where tooltips can be turned of. i much prefer the old way.

when makeing changes it would be awesom if you could create a way where you allways get a on off button. so if you dont like the change you can revert it back to how it used to be befor it was added. in my opinion giveing people the option of personal choice when it comes to changes is awesom customer care and helps keep people happy. i for one dont enjoy this new tooltip thing. i know my game i dont need it to tell me whats what. i understand it helps people that is new to the game. but what about us old long timers who dont care much for changes like this


plz plz plz give us the option to turn it off.



many thanks

As others have posted, I used to be able to hover over a column to see the full description (long station names, for example), and hover over a pilot to see Name[corp]alliance(ship type). Now all I get is "Planet", "Station". Not handy at all. I can tell these items are planets & stations by the icon, I certainly don't need a redundant popup taking up my limited screen real estate. This is especially annoying with the pilot popup. I don't want to hover over a ship only to have the tip tell me the ship hull, or that the pilot is a suspect. I have ship type column on my overview from which I can glean hull type, and the flashing skull icon is more than sufficient to inform me of a pilot's suspect status without barging into my targeting area!
Allow disable/custom overview tooltips & return the hover-over details please!! SOON!

Overview tooltips: hate it! -1

Predictive mouse movement: very nice. +1

So i'm going to assume that the dev team tried these new tool;tips out with everything to be sure that it doesnt impeed players in any way, you know like in exploration. Scatter cans can definately do with tooltips that hang around for a second or so because no one in there right mind is going to want a specific can out of those very anoying cans to start with..

In short,. which are you keeping? Tooltips or the scatter can annoyance, because they are mutually incompatible, having to wait a second for the information about the can doesnt work when you only have 10-15 seconds to find the relevant cans to try and scoop. Now don't get me wrong, looks pretty, and i'm all for keeping the tooltips at the expence of the scatter cans, they shouldn't have made it into the game to start with.

I am not able to get all containers I want when I hack relic or data site because of your new tooltips. It takes longer to realise if its parts or a materials container, also tooltip can get in a way of hovering over some other container. All this needs to be done very fast if you are to get anything good out of those sites. New tooltips slow me down to the point that I had decided not to do those sites for some time. So please please give us option to put all back a way it was.

Also - just as a slightly crass aside - where is the current CSM on this?

Surely their first issue - and yet no word?

several CSM have commented on this thread, in fact they have mentioned that they also would like some control over which and when tool tips are shown / what is displayed.

They have not mentioned if they had any say in this before it went out.
Here is the list of who of the CSM has posted and what they posted at the time. Ali was the last CSM to post on page 11

- The overview tool tip is nice. However, I just noticed that I expected the tooltip to display the name/corp/alliance info of a wreck I was heading towards.

- am fairly sure that Trebor, who has been fighting for the predictive mouse (amazon menu hack) for years will be buying someone some vodka for this addition.

-Quick feedback note:
Hovering over other pilots on the overview should include corp/alliance info.
The new tooltip (class / info about why it's colored that way) is f'n fantastic, especially as a learning tool. But I used to hover over people to get their corp/alliance-- I have those on some overview setups, but not all; I don't think it's a great use of space when I'm not scouting. Still, I like to see who's around me, because it helps me make decisions about engagements, hence the hover.
Two other ideas: why not add corp/alliance tooltips to local, too? (would it be annoying?) Makes it a lot easier to see whether the local reds in system are in their home system, or fellow roamers cruising through.
Second, what about making some tooltips newbie-only? By which I mean, hide them (with option to re-enable?) after the player is no longer able to join Rookie Chat. For example, the "stargate" and "station" ones are ones that most veteran eve players *should* know, but might help a new player map symbols to type of space object.

-It's funny you mention this, because the tooltips on the modules have been in-game for a long time...maybe even over a year? Also fwiw you can shift + click on a mod to overheat it; much easier than hitting the green bar.

-Information was hard to discover in-game ("Targeting? 20.0 points? What the ****?") and some displays of information were unhelpful. It was hard to tell what ship class you were fighting if you didn't have all of the name -> class mappings memorized (this, memorably, lead to me killing a blackbird in a catalyst because I thought blackbirds were frigates).
Now some different displays are redundant, but others are much more helpful. The scrolling thing and the big black box issues were acknowledged by CCP DelegateZero earlier in the thread. The existence of tooltips at all-- the module tooltips, the tooltips on the fitting window and station services screen-- will be something that vets will likely adapt to and ignore, just as we ignored the old tooltips.
"This is the worst feature since ______" is unhelpful feedback; "This is interfering with my ability to do ________, __________, and ________ because I'm trying to x and instead y happens" is useful stuff that CCP can use to actually improve the feature (or kill it, as they have with loot scatter!). If you're interested in a better game for yourself, I'd suggest using the latter language, or at least pretending you're talking to a real person standing in front of you when drafting your post.
