EVE Information Portal

It's the old internet "tough guy" problem, it's easy to whine and threaten when there is almost 0% chance of someone knocking on your door and dropping the nut on you. I imagine if CCP sent some Icelandic behemoth to deal out some real-life forum retribution every time someone posts some rant the amount of crap would disappear fairly quickly.

Just my two pence, I don't like the UI but I will learn to see it as normal as everyone does eventually in EVE, I imagine in 5 years time when they change it again people will be chest beating and whining saying "I hate the new UI I loved the old one"


Ask yourself this, does the new UI stop you doing anything that you used to do? Simple answer is no, in 3 or 4 weeks you won't even remember the old one, Yes, it's drab and lifeless and looks like some designer found a 90's design book and passed it off as his/her "new" idea but it's what we have so learn to live with it.

That's probably true, and although I personally am not a fan of oversimplistic interface design, I'll adjust to having simple vector art instead of pictures, that's obvious really.

What I'm hoping to get across to CCP here is that the monochrome however, IS an issue, it's making the UI slower and less intuitive in a way that's because of how eyesight works, not design.
Also something in it is causing headaches for me, but I cant spot what yet, maybe someone else knows.

The transparency options are too simple, the best I can get now is "almost" as good as it was before,
But it really feels just.. unfinished.
Many options like the blinking tabs, that's just annoying.
For my precise opinion on blinking things, try making an entire webpage with {blink} at the top and {/blink} at the bottom, and then actually read the text.
(may not work in good browsers, HTML tag incorrect intentionally)
Also I really want to murder the focus transparency change effect, but no menu option for that.



to CCP:

Please don't tell me you took the huge flood of negativity on the test server as "we just don't like change"
Because reading the thread here now, it's just not that simple.
You have some very good ideas going with the interface, and lets admit it, the old one wasn't exactly going to win any beauty awards, but the current iteration has some serious issues.

This interface very much feels like a beta
and that's a question for you CCP:

You put the MAP changes in beta, why not these huge interface changes?

I personally don't have a problem with the shapes and layout of the new UI, but it needs some slight coloring to make it easier to spot the icon you're after. Especially for new players! I would like to see the icons on the left tinted with offbeat colors, that way they won't distract you or strain your eyes.

It's the lack of anti-aliasing, at least for me.
Try turning the UI off (screenshot mode) and see if it still presents.
If it does then it is the new rendering method (which is notorious for creating aliasing).

Yes it does, i have stopped supplying a big 0.0 tradehub at all because my eyes start to burn when i do market stuff. And since my job is also at the computer i just cannot afford to get hurting burning eyes from my leisure time.

I want to remind you that there are "professions" in eve that have to live for hours with the new UI. While for PVE PVP Mining guys the UI is just framework, we producers and traders have to face the UI fullscreen for hours. Im sorry for all the newbros in our homesystem now having to buy their toys for a higher price or not getting them at all, but im not going to risk my job or my personal health for a game just because someone of the Dev thinks the game needs a flashy new UI.

Yeah, that FPS drop and heat increase seems likely to be a bug, both my computers are performing the same as always.
Haven't checked the laptop though, but since it has the equivalent of a geforce 8400(eve min. 8600) it's been a bit of a slide show for quite a while anyway.

Hey, thought, both my systems are ATI/AMD, do you by any chance have Intel or Nvidia?
If it's just for some people it might be a vendor issue.

Correct, in general, people who pay companies do so for the ability to use their product or service



incorrect, every person who pays a company for their services, product, or the use thereof is that company's "client"




That option is available to them if they chose to use it, however, posting responses that basically are as "you have the final answer" when it is clear that this is not the case, comes across as though you are trolling people as opposed to trying to give them a helpful or productive answer.

With that said, there are some clear and obvious issues with the new UI, hopefully CCP will look at the recurring comments in this thread and find a way to address them to the benefit of all of it's clients.

M.M.

Among all this noise, I hope the devs take note of this- the new UI features work well outside stations and support the interactions in space, but are very counterproductive in station and especially when trading, which involves rapid interactions with 2+ windows.

Ideal solution- option to disable the brightening & blurring of windows while docked.

As have I, I've also had mails that are stuck as "unread" even after reading them several times.

deleting those seem to help, but the flashy is still there.

Santa

my UI was all reset today, shortcuts, overview everything.. I now cant set new shortcuts it wont let me

I am also getting Lag blips everytime I click on a chat window or an icon...

Fix this please CCP
