Test Server Feedback

Thanks for listening to our feedback.

This screenshot was taken during a trial run yesterday. The Angular Velocity column had to be expanded to more than twice its usual width to accommodate fading. As you can see, the fading starts on the fourth significant digit; the last number is barely readable. The fading looks pretty in screenshots, and perhaps when there are few moving objects on the grid, but became annoying rather quickly because (1) it bloated overview size for no good reason and (2) the constantly-moving, barely-readable numbers were very distracting. Please give us the option of turning fading off. Or allow us to set the number of significant digits which each overview column will display. Also, please don't remove the vertical lines separating overview columns; they greatly improve readability of tables where entries completely fill or overflow their cells.

Was the removal of horizontal lines separating discrete dragable elements on the Overview Settings panel intentional?

On an unrelated note, would it be possible to have multiple overviews?

Thanks for letting us know what's happening, and to the ui team for taking time to discuss it.

Ack. A nice idea, looks cool.
But it´s horribly inconvenient during actual gameplay. Please just shelve it .

Confirming that that a part of the changes have been reverted and are possibly pending a later release and the rest of the changes are under discussion with the UI designers and the UI programmers, the outcome of which can't be commented on right now.

I am just going to say this about the whole deal - we really need to move away from that to something new... the OV is really laggy and dated imho.

I would like to see the critical info on the target on the target lock, not just distance and ID or a rollover on it where it gives me the critical info, or even better - on the tactical - where each bracket would have all that floating in a text cloud next to the moving target.

The colomns are rather a pain, and take up alot of screen realestate that honestly just needs to be streamlined down... UI overhaul.

*AND*... we need a client FPS clean-up... my FPS is down half in the past two expansions and nothing I do in the past 2 years and 9 Months in this account is different...ugh.

I think what we really need is to take the DScan, Overview, locks, and tactical and add in a roll-over or selection lock and turn it in to a thing that runs around... I like your percentage idea very much that would be so much better.

I could see it as a list, just merge overview with the Dscan - why I have two of these to check is beyond me in UI design, it should be one thing... and then it should be active scanning/or manual on demand (settings), and then we should have a lock - when you lock it should give you all info that is needed - percentage hit, dist, ect..

what we need is more a HUD UI then a mass of laggy tables... too much raw data is bad, while I guess people like the idea, I dont't hink we need to get rid of anything, but we should be able to use only one window and one lock to tell what we are doing, not 3 and then a lock, and then an info and then a... gets a bit much...

I think we could get into a lot of things like this... simplification of presentation doesn't mean you have to chop off features, it just needs to be more streamlined, that and should really also cut into client lag, if these are needing constant refresh, the client should be faster and putting the performance on the game... TD was nice, but I would think that we could even slow EVE down by a percentage to reduce lag, do an accross the board clean up and then if needed slow the everything by say a percentage (there is that thing again) and lower server client call returns as well, say a 10%... no like we would notice that all that much.

anyway, I digress...

Yay! The gradient going over three chars was a bit much. Do it over the scale of one character, that should be sufficent.

Just been on sisi and the column lines are still missing. Are they still getting put back in?

Thanks! that is an awesome change, much more readable. +1 CCP

Once again CCP Veritas save's the day :)
