I think it's nice. No real criticisms, I like being able to shrink it and only have a few buttons on it like wallet, map and journal.

It's great.

Much more modern and customisable.

Why are people whining?

* why is items/ships buttons locked

* why can't i dock the neocom on the top/bottom of the screen
* why doesn't contract button blink when a contract is completed anymore?

the only thing that i like is being able to get rid of a bunch of buttons i never used, other than that, it removes functionality we had before.


-Might be added later
-Cause they're always out? i dunno CCP could change that...
-Cause this new neocom works like Windows 7 style, if you wanna see local like that in a minimized form then do the "double-click" minimize and move it down there
-This was already mentioned by CCP
-No idea, that one could be a bug

@ Fleet missing:
uh guys?....It's under "social"

And honestly, how much stuff do you minimize anyway?

I recall though that CCP was planning on adding some new icons for the sort of thing where they are all "I" right now

And would appreciate having a text mode that showed the icons with words. I usually keep them as just icons but when i get a bigger screen/more screens I wouldn't mind expanding it out to text view.

Cause it is missing critical stuff from the start (fleet anyone) it has very distracting blink, no words for those of us who liked words.

Anything like the scanner window, etc, that gets put on the sidebar turns into a "i" icon... no words (with out hover), so who the hell knows what one is what... dumb update.

They could have kept the old style and made that customizable.


Edit, it fleet is under social... well in a pvp game wtf, that should be on the neocom LIKE IT WAS, they left market... but moved fleet? wtf?

I'm glad you found it where I suggested it might be hiding.

Keep in mind that the majority of the players in EVE do not use Fleet... but everyone uses Market.

On a related note, although there are probably a few little bugs and usability tweeks it could stand, overall it is a big improvement... even more so when you can move it all to the bottom (although the bottom orientation was one of the biggest gripes people had with the first iteration they tested).

I'd like to be able to keep the text labels on the neocom buttons. And my portrait in the corner is way too small now to admire properly in game.

A humongus resounding mother ****ING YES it sucks. I fail to see how its an improvement at all. I'm all for change. Not being able to minimize my chats though? Is this company handicapped? I truly believe so.

After the patch we're giving the market some gentle supply restriction, like tying one wrist to the bedpost loosely with soft silk rope. Just enough to make things a bit more exciting for the market, not enough to make a safeword necessary.  -Fozzie

Step 1) Arrange icons to suit your needs
Step 2) Enjoy your new neocom

GOD THIS IS SO BAD AND TERRIBLE I HATE EVERYTHING I'M GETTING RID OF ALL MY 15 ALTS

In all seriousness, it isn't without issues (the blinking, the fact that certain windows don't have neocom buttons, a lack of dividers, etc etc) but other than that, it's basically a straight upgrade from the old neocom.

But everybody hates change, even good change.

Kids these days will whine about anything.

.. God, my character is seven years old now.

I like the new neocom BUT I dislike that I can't remove chat (without bug) and that everything that is minimized goes into the neocom instead of a small tab at the bottom of the screen.

NO.

It could use some tweaking (ingame browser bookmarks wont scroll), but overall it's good.
