EVE General Discussion

Voting with my wallet.
3 accounts unsubbed.
They run out in a few weeks ... I'll check back in the winter.

It's not just this mess but, the overall trend of late.
Still love the concept of Eve, just not where she has been and seems to be heading.

Ah...

1) I have 2 accounts. Each have a different color UI so I can easily identify which I am on at any given time. With the new inventory... I can't see any of the text on one of the accounts. I have to sit down and fiddle with my UI colors to see if I can get the ability to read back. Not necessarily a big deal but I don't want to lose my pink UI Much more fun ganking the gankers decked out in pink.

2) I can only open my cargo on my carrier. Then I can open my other ship "containers" like Fuel Bay, Ship and Corp hangers.

3) I have about 200 ships in station. Know of other people who have over 300. The damn tree is a mile long. Also all of the ships have the same icon and even more important they are not listed in any, currently known or understood, order. Major PTA.

4) Can't access drone bays from the tree so your opening a ship and then opening a window. Old format was faster.

5) Shift click to get the same effect as double click.

6) loading delay when opening the inventory, this includes when looting a wreak since it still access the inventory system. Slower response time is not an improvement. (unless your talking about an (Edit:) male orgasm I suppose.)

7) If I try and loot from a container I just hacked in a radar site and I have not accessed it yet I get a pop up of my cargo instead of an error. Had an exciting moment there in a radar site today. The container ended up being empty so that was a roller coaster ride.

8) NO BACK BUTTON after opening a new container so you have to manually find and go back if needed.



Not sure how many more are there but these I have off the top of my head. Sure, some of the issues will resolve as people find workarounds to go back to the old way or learn the new system better. The fact that windows don't stay open is a bug is a contributing factor here. Even so the new UI is clunky and a bit dysfunctional even after you get through the learning phase. Here is to having a fast and speedy iteration of the new shiny UI

New window makes industry 10x longer and almost unusable.

Please CCP, talk to someone who plays the game before you "fix" stuff!

9. Unintentional activation of the destination folder during the drag and drop process if your mouse is over the destination for too long. This is another time waster and definitely NOT a good usability feature for those who:

a) may not have the motor reflexes of youth and

b) need to keep accessing the source container.

the new windows is just eh...

its not great, its just different, its not bad its just eh.

another step backwards in ui that goes hand in hand with this decades thinking on less is more philosophy on user interfaces.

The fact I have to shift click open my ship and inventory windows every single time I jump clone, and shift click every time I want to move items around in space, is reason enough to consider it a severely flawed implementation.

It's just pretty, it isn't even remotely practical. You must be a mac user.

Considering that the new inventory UI is a direct ripoff of Windows 7, I don't think that makes any sense.

Necromancy is bad.

After some tweaking the only thing I can say that CCP has done incorrectly was to assume a certain basic level of computer savvy in their customer base.

I like it tbh, it has it's problems but I like it nonetheless, I think it's going to be a slow but steady stream of improvements until it works as well as both the players and devs envisaged, or at least a happy medium. Although it's hardly a unified inventory until they manage to get the assets window integrated with it (please no clunky stuff if you do this CCP, just make it work, elegantly if you can).

CSM? cosmic space muppets?
