I cannot believe how bad the new Skills menu has become. Previously it was very functional and had been nicely refined over the years. Now it is a trainwreck that is barely usable. Some things should not be designed by a committee. On the plus side it looks slightly sexier despite the disfunction.

How about fixing the game instead of breaking stuff that works?

I have to agree, the new window is pretty much the opposite of user-friendly.

I agree but CCP will force us to use it just like every other bad idea.

Whomever is making the last few years decisions on what changes are to be implemented in this game, must hate Eve with all their being.

I generally like it.

But can we have a skill learning pause button in the jumpclone window. Or you could remove the the nessessity to pause the training for clone jumping.

CCPlease.

Uhm, you don't have to pause training anymore before clone jumping.

Is there a way to see remaining skillpoints left on a skill?

If you think that the new skills menu is bad you should have seen the original Ascension offering. Vertical menus that you had to twist your neck through 90 degrees to read! CCP noted the adverse comments and sorted it out.

I too was unimpressed with the new version, mainly because of the blasted menus but also because I'm getting old and reactionary and dislike change. Actually once I got to use the new version I soon got used to it. It works for me.

As I have said on other threads it's a bit late to start moaning about all the new things in Ascension now. You should have been logging in to Sisi and testing them before the release. Those of us who did, manage to persuad CCP to rethink some of their ideas and it would of been great if more voices had joined in when there was time to sort things out.

Am I the only one who likes it? I like that it shows all the skills you can learn now so you don't have to search the wiki's or use evemon to figure out skill books you haven't bought yet. Also clicking on each category is faster then constantly expanding and unexpanding the old drop down menus.

I think its better, you just need to get used to it. You guys have been so used to the old drop down menus for so many years your having a hard time adjusting to a new thing.

tbh, having 2 windows open to arrange your skill que is not user friendly
