EVE Information Portal

Console people, Console, They been messing with the undock sequence for months now, for no good reason I might add, now you get this sickening drift in when you log in along with all the other crud they have loaded the station up with again for no good reason at all, it has no bearing on game play other than making people feel sick and delays everything you want to do.

Been said many time before all you need is a small visual of the ship your in, access to the hangar tree, chat widows and station services, glitter and glitz, wtf is that all about, all it really tell us is that someone in that office does not have enough work to do if they have time to waste coming up with this stuff over and over again.

CCP forced QC into the game, even though the vast majority of players at the time said it was not required, but we got it anyway, redesigned the hangar tree and broke everything in the process but forced it on players all the same, forced a 3D map into a 2d game, now that was really clever, messed with the scanning interface and then spent months fiddling and tinkering with it just to get it functional and it's still not right.

They keep rolling out more and more glitzy graphics updates that most players cannot even see and even if they could cannot use them in heavy usage areas like large fleets and players have been complaining about the undock sequence for months now only to be told that no one knows anything about it, the problem does not exist or simply being met with silence from CCP and now this abortion we get thrown in our faces only to be told, Oh were looking into the problems mentioned??????.

There was once a time when you could click undock and quickly be outside and engaged, now you sit staring at a black screen while the reams of badly written code sort themselves out only to find your not only facing the wrong way round but your staring at the wire frame of your ship and have to scroll out to see whats going on at all, and all the time those outside cane not only see you but get into position to lock and kill your ship before you even know it's happening, Way to go CCP, you really do know what players want don't you.

Hope it performs better on the PS4 than it does currently on a PC.

Exactly, that's like Trump saying I'll take care of it. We all know he's a pathological liar.

Oh they won't be wasting any of my money. Anything less that having the ability to disable it is unacceptable.

So you want to pay them to not be stupid. Good luck with that one.

Could you at least make a quick hotfix ?

Really simple... While using Captains Quarters, could you make the character instead of stand upright - to bend over ?

At best in a cool cinematic way - i know you can

It's not really like that.

Take this quote as an example of the issues:


So if you pick out:

1. When people ask for a toggle they are usually really asking for something else.
2. Our focus would be to offer them something else instead of what they are specifically asking for.
3. People asking for toggles are required to commit to further communication with us to be successful in persuading us.
4. Adding toggles is always a last resort.

You see how we end up with the situation we are in?

If you think offering 200 PLEX in order to bring about positive change is a negative, fine. That's a perfectly reasonable point of view and a perfectly reasonable response to what is obviously extreme behavior on my part.

I've given more than enough feedback to CCP in over a decade of playing. But I've watched the playable parts of EVE shrink around me in spite of my feedback. Those unaffected don't need to have their game curtailed by my issues. We don't require lots of development time spent on a new flashy thing that equally will not meet our needs. We just need a toggle so that those that have problems can be free of those problems while those that do not can enjoy the eye candy.

That's a fair point, but there will always be some players who want it and some who don't. Even if 80% of players don't want it, the other 20% will. A toggle could allow both groups to have what they want instead of annoying one group to please the other.

Like with the Load Station Environment option for instance, most players seemed to like ship spinning, and great for them. I'd never ask for everyone to be forced to have a static background. That said, I also want the option to have a static background and avoid the performance burden of rendering the hangar and the distraction of movement and the screens when I'm concentrating on something else. When they removed that option it wasn't because everyone hated the static background and wanted them to get rid of it, but simply because it somehow took too much effort to maintain. While those of us who want it back are a small minority, the removal of that choice is quite painful for those of us who don't care about pretty hangars but now have to deal with the downsides of them.

So much this. Your target audience is capable of working on unix server config files. (I put EvE overview competency on my resume as well just for good measure). We can handle graphics settings. ;-)

From CCPs perspective, I would think more customization = less whine, right? Don't like it? Hardware doesn't appreciate it? Turn it off!

Personally, I did like the animation so I'd leave it on-- but I'm still using the old map and the old probe scanner for example. Because I can't make the new ones responsive enough or remove the fancy clutter on them.

It won't be possible to please everyone, not in a long running game like EvE, not with a target audiences between 16 and 86 year old. Config files, toggles, sliders: don't get rid of them, even when other games lead another way. Do this the EvE way! Thank you.

It seems when someone grabs the loot from the Research Vault AND then destroys the Vault itself before the rest of the enemies are being dealt with on the site, it denies you the site completion credit for the Scope Network regarding the Shipyard and Research Facility.

Another way to ruin everyone else's work on this, it seems.
GG CCP.

What do you think the response to the poll asking if the players like the new polling system would be?

That's true. Those who feel strongly about an issue are more likely to post, especially strongly and negatively. It's a widely known problem.

However, if the reaction is strong in one direction, this also attracts contrarians/trolls to devil's advocate for sport. Except in cases where the issue is so black and white that it's hard to be taken seriously if you do, such as this one. I'm worried about the possibility of CCP deluding themselves into thinking that there is some 'silent majority' that is happy with the changes.
