Test Server Feedback

Bumping for support.

That's too easy... The little arrows I left on the top left corner of the pane minimize one pane thus reducing the used real estate.


EDIT: And how would that make it any different or improve on the current live inventory system.

Because frankly, the one on TQ is atrocious. We're just so used to using it we're accustomed to it's terribleness. For example, the slight hesitation the entire game has when clicking through stacked/tabbed windows. Or when stacking windows.

A few people have complained that the 'loading' animation is annoying. I have to say it's a lot less annoying than the whole game waiting for a corporate hangar to load.

I would agree with you if you were asking split window to one window with all the fancy other extra bits.

I don't really mind how good/bad the "one" window is as long I can open plenty of standard old fashioned windows, set them as I want and trust that they stick where I put them. Everything added to that will most likely be improvement - your idea included.

Oh the pain. Stop it!

Some missing features:

- Drag&drop sorting of columns in list
- A ≡ settings button in the top left of the window. Things for the setup menu:
- Managing (currently too well-hidden in the context menu of other columns).
- Options for how the 'estimated price' is calculated
- Filter management (instead of it's own separate window)

Also PLEASE, whenever CCP allows players to customize UI in any way like setting custom filters, have it saved server-side and add import/export functionality.

Also devs, please check out this document for more ideas on improvements:

There are also more entries in other categories, CTRL+F and look for 'cargo' or 'inventory'

Thanks for displaying what is wrong with it :)

Putting this on the first post.

Great, now everytime I read a Tippia post, I'm going to hear that accent!

And you didn't talk about other problems, such a handling cap boosters in pvp with huge windows and other things.

Great video.

I went back to see what improvements there had been. A dev had made mention that they could look at something like the looting headache. I have tested again and they went the wrong way with it. Now when you open a loot window it goes away and you are back in to the main cargo hold. You have to chase your loot all button across the screen now.

Please call off UI for Inferno, it is only going to enrage players.

My excuse is that I only had 15 minutes and just went in chronological order of the things I found…

But yes, cap boosters are basically another form of ammo only, if anything, even more vital to keep track of since their sheer size always means they're in lower supply. Same with the other “cap”: handling the various bays on a capital ship (in particular fuel), many of which you'll want to monitor concurrently and where you don't have to spend half a minute after each jump to set up the various views you want.

Also, I needed that bit at the beginning to show why multiple windows are so hugely useful and why, while it might take a little while to set up the first time, it's so easy to use simply because it's a static setup. Once I have my windows working, they just work. It plays directly to muscle memory since I know by heart by now where I can find any one list of items. That demonstration certainly ate a lot of the time I had available to show actual problems with the new system (but most of them are variations on the same themes anyway).

I suppose one criticism could be “why do I have such small windows — if I enlarge them and I can have the tree view unfolded at all times and make use of it to solve some of the problems”, but that's just the thing: I don't want a larger window. I want many small ones except for maybe the personal/corp hangar in-station (because in-station, there's very little information in the background that I need to have at my disposal: no tactical map, no overview… having the screen filled with market and contract windows works there). Having to go big goes against the fundamental problem they wanted to solve — having your screen covered in inventory windows. My three/four-pane view strikes a perfect balance (for me): a fairly narrow strip of windows at the bottom of my screen, leaving plenty of room for other information and other windows; a sufficiently large diversity in the number of inventories; and a good separation of functions (bulk inventory, critical inventory, temporary/fiew-item inventory, workspace inventory).
