EVE Information Portal

Yeah the noise is too loud, it needs to be configurable. It's just too "in your face" which seems odd for a cloaking effect which should feel more subtle, imo.

Also, in all these kind of threads I like the "make the second post an FAQ" idea to stop needless posts and ppl like me having to restate what's been written on devblogs.

Pros:

The decloak/cloak effect is very pretty. I approve.
Cooldown timers. These are awesome and long overdue.
Overview settings for d-scan. Equally useful, so I can *see* things I can shoot but I can dscan for towers without forcefields.

Cons:

But my cloaked ships look crap on a variety of graphics cards/settings. Transparent ships were good. Having what looks like a 2d overlay on a 3d ship is poor and I'm not using 1970's hardware!
The names. Serious, I liked all the meta names. Do not standardise, listen to your player base. Yes, have meta items that are different in terms of fitting, effectiveness, capacity etc. to give us more options (and please make T2 better than meta 4). But call them odd things as it makes the lore more interesting.

Indifferent:

Wormhole colours/effects. I use the WH names anyway (x702) to figure out what I can get through, and if I want to know what is on the other end I jump through(!) That should be how wormholes work - you know a little by looking at it / show info but you don't know exactly until you jump (and potentially die)

I like the new cloaking transition as well now that I got used to it. The transition looks cool and I am not that disturbed by that '2D' effect others are complaining about, I like to see where my ship is even when cloaked.

I also had one station with maxed out inventory, the new changes reduced the clutter a bit and have now more room... as now different modules are made the same one. And as for the names, I don't care how it's called, I care about what they do.

As for future expansions, It's a taboo to talk about it perhaps... but CCP was on the right track with the plan of adding walkable stations and who knows even have holodecks where you could do battle simulations and maybe entrable agent offices with a 3D agent character you could interact with.. yada yada. I so wish they would pick up those plans again. It definitely would make it more atractive for a wider audence without changing the core of EVE. Expansions with name changes and a little shiny here and there is not the future of EVE nor CCP.

Not seeing it.

In my experience, you can try and post that in General Discussion, to have it shut down in about an hour by the first ISD as much as sniffing in your direction. Walking in Stations as a theme is being literally censored.

As for EVE and CCP's future, they already have been set on stone and then they may work out or don't.

Personally I've never had faith in the Hallelujah Plan about nullsec-only player made stargates to new space while 80% of the game just gets reheated porridge for years upon years.

That may be, but current situation is that they do offers for free 30 day trails and even free offers with addons as an attempt to get new players in EVE, but the majority are not staying in EVE and don't come back after the trail ended. The free trails with extra's are even spammed on websites, because there are some many free keys given out by CCP and almost nobody wants them. I even tried to get my friends into EVE, but after the trail they are off to play other games. So more immersion and 3D environments with walkable stations and 3D interaction with other players and NPC agents etc would have made things more interesting and anno 1014... instead of text based agents with static missions based on 1995. But thats just my 2 cents and last I will speak about this taboo.

Removed a personal attack and posts quoting or responding to it. Please stay civil and respectful, folks.

To the CCP Graphics team: Kudos on the latest Oceanus patch! This completely fixed the "fuzzy" aspect of the cloaking effect on the Mac client and is literally a night and day transition from the original release. Well done.

The Market Filter change is really annoying:

The new cog > drop down box adds a hell of a lot more clicking (and requires a lot more concentration as in you need to remember what setting you are on!) to switch filter when browsing the market.

A very unintuitive change that actually makes using the market horrible - Please can we get a CCP comment or even better an option to use the old displayed market filters?

Thanks.

Please add a button to turn off the tool tips.

When moving items around in hanger, they quickly get in the way and become irritating.

Thank you.
