Yeah sorry guys, we won't be able to do everything at once, but hopefully we can trickle some fixes out. We had some go out today, some will go out next Tuesday and hopefully we can continue until it's in a better state. Anyway, that's it for now.



Or, and I understand this is a radical idea, you can roll back the inventory UI to what it was and fix it on the test server. Then redeploy it on live when it's no longer a broken piece of ****. I know! It's a radical idea! Using the test server to test new features and get them actually working before deploying them on live. Someone needs to man the **** up and do it though.

Technically anything is possible. Without knowing how their system is built, kinda hard to say what is and isn't simple.
Still would've been nice had they used the feedback on Sisi, then it would be less likely we'd be having this conversation. Lol


I am very certain of how the system is built. It's a publish/subscribe shared data bus, much like a financial trading system.

I build them for a living.

Just UNDO all this bullshit first. THEN do it with normal release procedure, with 1)USEABILITY TESTING 2)BUG TESTING. And only then release it to tranquility. Do you in general have testing team? Do you know what they for???

Hi CCP,
The solution is simple:

Make the inventory like it was BUT add your idea with your tree.

For example:
When you open something, a new window will open ....always ....like the way it was before. If you want the tree stuff you can expant the window like it is now. This would be an easy combination with the old and the new idea from your side.

Never change a running system !!! Just add some funktions.

Best Regards,

Mai

For such small number as 30k and without respondents specially filtered out - it's not so representative. For example, it is like going to a small town and asking only old ladies' opinions, instead of picking people from all categories. That's what I'm talking about. Sisi's audience is not little copy of TQ's.
Maybe if my English were better I would spend less words to explain what I mean. Need to read moar. Roll

Keep the old - just add the new

I think the idea is sound, but the failure was in forcing the UniInv to be everything, when it should be just a really awesome auditing tool which compliments all previous cargo/hangar windows. Here is how to make it work.

1) Replace "Assets" in neocom tab with Unified Inv.
Include all locations along with it. Assets tab is now obsolete and It makes no sense to have a UNIFIED inventory, which leave out all your other assets in the universe. Bridge those two. Include all structures categorized, even if you are not on grid and cannot acces them... its unified,

2) Bring back all previous windows / buttons / functionality in relation to cargo and inventory.
Allow assets to be moved and viewed through these windows as before. ShiftClick works, but having a bloated windows when all you want to have is a couple lean jet-can windows open is a reversal of simplification.

3) Connect all these windows to Unified Inventory.
Here the unified inventlry become more of an autiting tool, a MASTER window into all your assets, as opposed to this be-all-end-all uber tool.

Done

Oh - And one small thing. Making the ship disappear when you board it is a little annoying. Why should my ship disappear from the hangar just because I boarded it? You just removed functionality there.

Again, nice expansion guys - lovin it.
BoBo out.

i notice for all the people saying "you just need to get used to it!" there still has not been one good reason as to why there can't be a check box to switch between modes.

how about it Soundwave? ONE good reason why it's not possible to put a checkbox in and "because we don't want to" isn't a good reason.


still waiting for a response to that, maybe soundwave was the wrong person to ask, how about CCP Arrow and CCP Optimal anything from you guys as to why you can't have two different layouts? you know one that isn't bug ridden and works and the "new improved" one.

but while i'm posting here's a great "feature" i shift click (because as we've been told over and over again shift click fixes it all!) on my ship inventory, put that where i want it and undock, warp to a POS and look in an array.. which has decided to open in my little 1x4 ships cargohold window.

awesome, so i unpin it, resize it and open up a new ships cargo do what i need to do at the POS and warp back to the station and dock, then i go to look in my hanger. which opens up in my ships cargohold AGAIN

add to that how when it does remember to open things in a different window it just randomly decides to pin things and then also decides to randomly resize the tree view so all i can see is the god damn arrow.

cache, cleared, windows reset, STILL HAPPENING

jesus CCP did you even bother to try this patch yourselves before you pushed it live?

it's not that hard, you've already proved you can do it with incarna and the ship hanger just put in the option to use the old layout instead of trying to force feed us an 'improved' feature that slows everything down! hell you could even spin it as a win "awesome CCP listens to the fans and gives them UI options!" or in your little videos (last few are not great by the way) "MULTIPLE INVENTORY SYSTEMS"

I know a better idea. Selectable option to using old or new inventory system, the everybody will be quiet and happy, except CCP.
But now just the CCP happy and the players is not. The question is, which is the most important thing: happiness of CCP with just few subscribers or huge amounts happy players with more CCP work ?


Thank you. Some one have a good idea .

As luck would have it, the suggestions all point in the same general direction here. You also keep ignoring the fact that this isn't just about suggestions — this is about pointing out bugs and lacking functionality. There is no “opinion“ about it.

I don't believe that 300 can correctly represent 30'000.
Then maybe you shouldn't argue about statistics, because 300 out of 30,000 is a very large sample…



Err. 300 out of 30,000 is a ******* MASSIVE sample size. That will give you every conclusion you need. *IF* it was a true random sampling. It's a sampling of those who feel strongly about the issue. In its own way, that does kind of make it even more damning. The overwhelming majority of people who have an opinion at all really don't seem to like the new UI. When you inspire 1% of your player base to show up and ***** at you about the SAME THING, you done gone ****** up.

The argument I see most often FOR the new UI isn't even an argument FOR it, it's an argument against people overreactiong. "That's no reason to quit" "Quit whining" "You just hate change". Almost no one actually defends the new UI, they're only there to insult and demean the people who don't like it. When it's "supporters" rarely bring an argument to the table in support of it, then once again, you know you done gone ****** up.

so wait, your arguing that they shouldn't listen to feedback from the test server?

even when that feedback tells them things are obviously broken?

like chat windows vanishing? players not logging off? windows not being persistent? etc?

please tell me how those are matters of opinions and not straight up bugs.

A BIT slower? You ever tried moving stuff from one container to another? Or from your cargohold to a container, which happens to be fully loaded with hundreds of different items? I had to wait 10 minutes to move just one can into another. And that wasn't the only can to be moved... All this used to be done in less than 2 seconds with the old system and another 2 seconds to stack them all. Now I don't bother stacking anymore.


Did you read my whole post or just the P.S? What you are describing is almost EXACTLY what I'm doing (I'm not moving one can into another).

The speed comment was meant to describe the actual act of moving the items from one location to another (amount of time spent manipulating the interface) not the waiting for the screen to load (which a dev said is being fixed). There is a big difference between the design of an interface and how the implementation of the design performs. My comment was directed at the former not the latter.

Ive been really critical about the new inventory system.

I think thee changes are a massive step in the right direction.

It good when CCP listens to feed back and take action.

Vote

New list

Old List


This has to be final destions

Agreed ?



This. The result is.

99.5% of players vote for old
0.5% players + CCP employees vote for new.

That is nice so the CCP Has to put back the old list

Why dont just allow us to choose old inventory in options?


That would mean that CCP would have to give up some dictatorial powers over a game that YOU pay for. Heaven forbid that a company actually listen to it's customers from time to time. Or that they actually listen to feedback during a beta test of new features.

Here is one little thing in the UI that the devs could do. Have the "My Filters" slider actually stay in minimized position when put there. When someone wants to use a filter, they then could bring it up. You don't see a "filter" on a webpage taking up a quarter of the page and not staying minimized when you go to a new page.

Before this new UI, things actually stayed in place according to my settings. Now much of it won't, especially when I re-log, even after completely resetting everything to default and clearing cache.

Usually expacs and new features are used to help draw new people and keep current players, not anger them to the point of where they put out negative feedback to their friends. Guess that is why Eve is such a small game base compared to other MMO's. CCP time to get some new coders and content directors.

And you can have my 2 cents....
