EVE General Discussion

So far, the only 'annoying' thing about the chat is that they do not minimize inside the actual chat icon, but instead ends up in extra 'Info' icons. At least *use* extra 'chat' icons when you do that please - using an Info icon seems really confusing.

Holy wow. I just logged into EVE after nearly a month away and this forced blinking BS had me logging out after less than 5 minutes.

Even with the chat window hidden by adding a metric kazillion buttons, the "hidden button" fricking flashes.

Fail, CCP; FAIL. Bad! No Biscuit!!

I'll be back if they fix it - if not, I'm cancelling my multiple accounts. UGH.

Don't worry. They won't fix it. Only thing these r-tards care about is their monthly pay which they will apparently get as long they manage to get themselves to work in the morning and get something half finished and half working out once in a while.

In most companies it requires serious skills to upgrade stuff to worse and get away with the feedback. In CCP this is not a problem - for some it is a tradition and way of life. As long these kind of clowns work under that roof, this s*it keeps happening over and over again.

I am starting to realize that people involved are just in too high positions and too good friends with each other. It would be horrible to demote or fire a good friend even he is doing crappiest work in the company. H*ll it would be like nightmare to even mention about it to him. It is better that everyone just calm down and sink with the fail boat.

History keeps repeating itself over and over and over again and people wonder why eve subscription base isn't growing faster. Maybe it is because during updates you take 2 steps forward on some front and then someone else takes 2 step backwards on another. Very efficient and this is not even a joke.

"Break what is not broken and fix not what is" has been CCP's trademark for ages and it still is, but year 2012 has brought new twist to that. Now you have added "bling" to equation and ride with that like a boss. Functionality was too big for the bus and apparently got left home.

Yes and I'm really cool guy with all the constant whining, b*tching and insults. I am aware of that. You guys at CCP are allowed to hate me as much you want. Truth however is, that I know people who are already way past the point where I am today. I still care enough to come here and yell always when stupidity or ignorance takes place, but this will not continue much longer either. If you enjoy they day when I too shut my loud mouth (which you probably will) and think you have won - you have. The price however may be bit questionable on long term. Have fun with it.

Having said that - must add, that even I can be real a-hole I also know when to say thank you. For that people need to at least try to do their best and learn from the mistakes they make. Slouching around with half lights on praising stuff what is going to be released while still delivering half finished and half working crap won't get much fan mail. Specially if you really have balls to go even step further and (constantly) leave the junk to the tranq and just carry on like nothing happened.

End of another rant which lovely and kind forum mods hopefully manage ignore again.

And they wonder why nobody's working on game content.........

I wish it was. The new neocom has many severe features missing/bugged which were working fine in old one. I don't wanna start listing them here as have made totally dedicated thread for that already.

Learn you case before starting to troll.

Ok... as you wish... let's start listing crap in here also then...

New neocom offers:

- Forced reconfiguration of every character after deployment to get icons to the places they were in (many key icons are missing from the bar and are in wrong order).
- Forced window location / size reset to several windows during deployment and apparently during neocom updates also.
- Having a minimise button that makes thinks completely vanish killed window labels and ability to quickly and easily follow local count and blinking chat names.
- Opening minimized chat windows takes 2 clicks and some menu browsing instead of 1 simple click.
- You can not tell which chat is blinking by just looking the minimized window label.
- In old neocom blink activated on event, blinked couple times and left icon highlighted for each new event. In new neocom 1st event activates permanent blink. No way to know about additional events than the 1st one.
- Contract button doesn't light up at all.
- Journal button doesn't light up at all.
- There is very commonly used icons right next to the undock button.
- Ships and items icons are in opposite order related to old neocom and they can not be switched around.
- Random useless junk appearing to neocom bar when doing invention, opening cargo containers and so on.
- Character name was removed making it harder to multibox and quickly tell which client you're using.
- Increased memory usage (dunno if this got fixed already or not)
- Date was removed from the clock

This list is probably not complete but most junk should be listed.

If someone honestly has guts to say that "The new Neo Com is much better in most respects", I would really want to know what those most respects are.

My only gripe is that they didn't it as a beta like they had planned for the original implementation back in Jan 2011.

Woulda saved them everything in this thread.

Aside from that I'd be hard pressed to care less, I only have one other chat window that's minimized and i only minimize it cause it's the one of chat channels I don't use often but should still keep open so flashing button is minimal.

My only other problem is a personal one...in what order do I want my buttons xD

I don't want to remove the chat icon but:

FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING THAT IS HOLY, HOW THE FARK DO I MAKE IT STOP FLASHING!!!!!

Do the Impossible

Unsee the Visible

ROW ROW FIGHT DA POWA.

Touch the Untouchable

Break the Unbreakable

Has someone found the bytes from the conf .dat file which control the chat button existence?

Obviously it would be against the eula to use hex editor to change em, so I am only asking to gain some higher wisdom and knowledge. Wouldn't even think about fixing the issues myself because I know that CCP will provide final solution to neocom very soonTM before year 3000.
