EVE General Discussion

For those of you who don't know, the current build on the test server has some "improvements" to the inventory system.

Instead of separating out all the containers and hangers into different windows everything is now a single window. This makes it very time consuming to move assets about.

I strongly recommend testing it before it goes live.

yes, because drag'n'drop "on a tree" is difficult.

Also, you can easily create multiple windows if you like.


I love ranting

In other words:
"I hate changing a old outdated habits."

The problem is, that the windows you open don't stay the way you set them up. The game doesn't remember where you put them or what was in them unlike in the current system. This means every time you dock, jump to another system or access a container your setup gets ****** up and all your work setting up the windows went down the drain.

Yes, yes, Chicken Little, the sky really is indeed falling.

Heh, you mean like the chat blinking thing on the Neocom...

The only thing ruining in here is masternerdguy's posts.

Indeed it is the most idiotic thing introduced to the game in awhile.

Anyone into industry and trading and using multi-windows to drag stuff around is going to be severely hindered.

Yet another Dev team impresses the boss with shiny and not the customers.

They don't play or use the game obviously. How they even thought what is up for testing is even a remote possibility of an improvement over what 'was'......sorry bit there just was not a pressing need for any change in this AT ALL.

OP is right on the money.

But this is after WEEKS after a bunch of us have been yelping in the longest thread going on the Sisi Forum. They are not listening as usual.

I played with it on Sisi a week or so ago. It's less about getting used to a new interface/paradigm and more about a bad implementation. The whole thing was a bit counter-intuitive to me due to context not being preserved, small lines of text, no visual feedback, identically named ships cause problems, etc..

Before killing/deriding the messenger (the OP,) I strongly recommend that folks give the new unified window a try on Sisi.


edit: Ok, just checked Sisi again and it looks like they've cleaned it up a *lot*. Ships are listed by ship name as well as the user provided name (e.g. "Corbie (active ship) (Golem)"), context is maintained, etc..

The only annoyance is that you shift-click to open a new window from the left hand frame, and shift-double-click to open a new window for a container in the right hand window.

I think I can live with, and like, the new unified window.

I heard EVE already died when they made the font readable, what next?
