If you want to know more...
read all about it, go test and don't hesitate to leave your personal opinion after done. This is one of those moments when it just might be worth to do so. The blog forgets to mention thing or two.

made me laugh also..

just a shame it dosnt do as much as it promises to do

Seems like despite huge advantages with the new system, some small bits of functionality need to be added here and there. Top that off with a liberal helping of people complaining because they can't use their clunky work arounds anymore.

Pretty optimistic to call them bits small, but if that works for you who am I to say. I find the original idea of one window for everything and no real support for others being quite big "bit" myself.

This is in test server - yes. Dev blog is out - yes. Dev response to fundamental issues - none.

Read the entire comment thread... at least up to page 24 and you get the whole idea what this is about. I'm not whining here just to for whining. In fact I rather would do something else atm :) The details are all there.

It was the weekend, how about you cut them some slack?

They'd have come back and seen plenty of feedback to read so how about giving them some time to actually read and digest it before moaning they're not responding on their days off work.

I agree with this.

Only things worth complaining about are just simple tweaks.

I LOVE the new filter system. I created a filter that shows all but cans so that I can hide the cans to prevent accidental repackaging of them.

I think the only thing I'd like to be added is so options for the "value" thingy. Lemme pick between universe average, regional average and regional max buy order or regional lowest sell order.

Yes there is, because the multiple-window functionality is broken. The inventory system isn't aware of the fact that you can have multiple windows so it has a nasty habit of resetting itself and make all those windows more of a chore than an aid. This is not a niche case — it's every case for unopened containers.

Wanting to drag stuff from one place to the next while keeping both locations in view is not “eccentric” — it's how you most efficiently handle multiple storage locations. What's eccentric is the new system's aptitude for breaking this kind of work flow because it wants to be a one-window system and thus cannot properly handle multiple windows.

There are nice bits and pieces, but anything that requires significant amounts of inventory manipulation is made much harder and requires far more clicks now than it did before. It has also lost much of its ability to set up a “work space” and have consistently appear and behave the same. It works as a framework for an inventory management system, but it is far from being one at the moment due to that multi-window unawareness.

Then this is a problem with implementation, rather than design concepts, and most of the whining I've read has been about the change to a unified window - hence the troll post up there ^

Thank you.

And seriously - I'd really rather be doing something else. Only real reason why am I in forums again is to make people aware about the many not so kewl things which were not mentioned in dev blog. You guys had wonderful intentions but left to the task assuming that all people would rather use one window than many windows. How ever as pointed in official thread, there are many real in game occasions where one window just won't handle the task you want it to do. Sure - it may do it for some like mr ranger above, or it may do it for majority of casual players. It still doesn't change the fact that it would be huge nerf and inconvenience to great many.

If you address the fact, make a firm statement to do something about it and be kind enough to leave blue post about it - at least I'm done with this whiny part again and carry on to more fun tasks like running in a forest naked with only tinfoil hat on.

...and yes that picture was intended to have some comedy attached to it - I'm not yet ready to stab you guys even soundwave may have told you so.

So dev responses go here now? Please CCP, roll these changes into the Assets window and leave my UI alone! I really really really really cannot emphasize enough how much I do not like using that unified inventory window for everything. I have made several long posts on the subject where such posts belong. I shall assume that someone who effects this project has read them.
