Why ccp?

Why would you change something that was already working great and no one had a problem with?

Why do you not read our posts and listen to our feedback?

I have sat in my pos ever since this change to inventory simply because mining has now gone from pain in the butt to undoable with 6 accounts.

Why do you want players to bot? That must be the reason for this change.

This whole thing has been nothing but ccp's attempt to bring more botters to the game. That can be the only answer. Botters = more money for ccp because botters need to buy gtcs too.

Stop botters from mining my ore please and roll back this change please.

I just tried to do my usual POS and shopping related task as an industrialist, i also tried really hard to use the inv.-tree combined with the shift-click window functionality. The result is that i need like double the amount of clicks and twice the time to accomplish the same things.

Here are the main problems:

1) In the old system window position and setup was saved separately, this means if u open it via hotkey u directly understand what was open, since each window was at a distinct position with a distinct size and setup. In the new system u need double check where u are every time.

2) Grouping windows where saved, so that if u open several pos arrays u always got the same loc/size. In the new system u get the big window.

3) Near a POS with lost of modules its basically a nightmare to work with the new window, since u have to rename modules, so they show up top in the list.

4) U cant separately save the "icon, detail, list" view per container, hangar in the new tree view. This means i have to constantly switch between those 3 settings, since for POS arrays i need the list view, while for hangar or containers i prefer the icon view.
In the old system the setup was saved per window, so i never had to change it after i did setup it, the way i need it,

5) Any corp hangar list that uses the devision layout, simply expands the tree view size. This means that after opening several pos arrays just so i can access the first devision, the list is already so long that i cant drag&drop to the needed second pos arrays. In the old system the devisions where stacked and did not expand the needed window size, which made drag&drop much simpler. Maybe allow to remove unused devisions and save this setting, so the tree view stays at a reasonable size?

6) The new tree view also wont distinguish between off-lined and on-lined POS arrays, this means my POS list is gigantic and slow, while i actually cant even access half of it since those are off-lined. In the old system this was irrelevant since i did not handle things via a gigantic tree view.


Basically the poor design of the new system is based on lost human recognition of size and window positions. The basic idea of the tree is oki, but the lost ability to save different windows and positions makes it harder, since as a human we can recognize location and positions much faster than a highlighted text entry in a tree view.

Tell me how cool it is when you have a missile BPO, missile BPC's, and missiles you're just built sitting in a Corp Hangar and the screen tells you "apples + oranges + pears = ISK".

I would agree with you, but there are market tools already in-game that tell me how much everything is worth based on buy/sell orders. If you don't know how to use those tools, you really aren't ready to buy or sell things on the market.

+1
new inventory has lost functionality (what a surprise), its fine if you dont have much stuff but the old way is just sooo much better especially if you have a lot of assets in one place, also with multiple windows the damned tab read ship name, ship type etc i have to widen them just so i know which can im looking in


ps anyone who says its great is either a ccp alt, being sarcastic or just batshit crazy

there are a few things that have needed attention for awhile imo, like corporation roles (most arent clear at all) aswell as pos functionality, i cant honestly think of anything that was wrong with the old inventory system, it was easy to use and did the job perfectly well - if CCP can bring back the same functionality level back with the new inventory then great but i doubt they can
things i liked before were the way i could double click on something like a can and it would open its inventory window, i also liked being able to select multiple cans and have them all open for me while being able to read the can name in the tab header

Clearly, the people coding this game are not people who actually play it.

Ship hangar back would be good.I miss 1click theres my ships.Having to click away even more to get to the same place is a waste of time and threatening RSI.Do I need to know that the ammo I use is worth less every shot.Loot values are so far out as to be in fairy tale land.I know this is a fairytale land ,but even so....

You aren't paying attention and you certainly haven't bothered to read this thread where people like me have included screenshots to very clearly and concisely describe the problems we have with the new inventory system.

We took the time to post in this thread. If nothing else, you owe it to us to actually read the ****ing thread.

+1 for old window mountains, I ♥ U

*waiting for a Dev singing: I'm bringing easy back, the other devs don't know how to act ♪♫♫♪♫

don't ask where I got the idea for this...

There must be better things to do than **** us all off!
