EVE Information Portal

Let me start by suggesting a couple of procedural overhauls.

First, if you have the choice on one hand of implementing a new feature that removes easiness and flexibility (and therefore experience control) from your players, and on the other hand of waiting another month to fully develop the feature; go with the latter option. Rather, please go with the latter option. There is no reason to have instituted a new inventory system until you figured out how to pin our individual windows in familiar places, especially when the primary reason for creating the new system is to simplify our gameplay, not complicate it.

Second, please remember that EVE is a work of art. You win awards for your beauty and your intellect. The previous inventory system, flawed though it may have been, had easy-to-push buttons available in large, stationary windows with a simple but elegant look. You've replaced it with a clunky bunch of boring drop-downs in a complex window with several, inelegant colours. In the future, remember to keep the atmosphere in line with CCP's goal of simplifying gameplay.

No matter what else you do, if you stick to these two principles, you can do no wrong. Whatever comes out, we'll enjoy it.

But if all else fails, you can always offer the next half-assed change as an "option" until you finally get the bugs worked out. When nobody is using the old system anymore, remove the option.

What i don't understand: Was there any problems with the old UI system? I never seen any. So why CCP must change a running system?
Are there any french engineers? They allways have to change anything, unless it's good or not. It is uncomfortable, not saying ****** to use. And the next thing, as i read here and at other chat's, the problems and "suggestions" were on the test server.

Why did you deploy the change when you know it's not welcome? Unbelievable for me.

Are we (paying customers) players so unloved, useless, crazy, mad that CCP just ignore the voices like a CEO of a big company ignore the employees?

Because we don't know the big business? Wth we have done so far? Do we pay to much, that there are some new programmers of the ****** itzibizy shiny Apple I-whatever generation must force us theire frontend?

It's completely useless to know how much value there is in the cargohold. Only for gankers and pirates. Or you work for the pirates now.
Tell us, if we are not welcome. Then we will have a look for an other game. Make a global vote concerning the new UI. I promise you far over 90% wants the old one back. But honestly, i'm sure you will do nothing as you are not interested in our opinion.

I'm in a WH now and have to open a couple of containers to moove stuff around......****²

Eos Alexander

A million times this. Words aren't bad in and of themselves, how they're used is what can be harmful (and only to the insecure, who frankly need to grow the **** up.)

just another thing, dunno if mentioned before..

what bothers me most is the corp hangar..

WHY is it in MY inventory at all ???
it's a total seperate "place", not even belonging to me solo

and if downsize number of windows was a goal... bzzzt .. fail !

before i had 1 window with 7 tabs easy to navigate
no I would have to open 7 seperate windows in order to sort what loot goes where
and even more fun in trying to open containers in those .... ^^


so
fix #1: get the corphangar out there ASAP !! and restore it in old style.. was totaly ok
fix #2: move my dang active ship back into the "my hangar" thing

I'll look into this one, thanks for bringing it up.

We'll be back in the office Tuesday but I'll post a bit again Sunday.

Well, I apologize as I did not intend for any of the actual playerbase to feel negatively towards my posts. I am just trying to get my voice heard by the powers at be and the unified inventory has just gotten under my skin and very frustrated.

it would be nice to see the corp hangar down on the bar again.. does get a bit annoying.

So its obvious that a lot of people don't like the new Inventory.
Some people do like it.
CCP wants to keep it.
Maybe there is way we can all get want we want.

1) Allow the ship hanger to be dragged from the new UI window, back to the Neocom.

2) Allow the Inventory button and ship hanger buttons to be locked at the bottom of the Neocom.

3) Allow the corp hangers to be dragged back to the station panel on the left.

4) Put the active ship back in the ship hanger, and not the default thing that opens up when I push the inventory button. (When I push the inventory button I should get my items. Not my cargo hold.)

5) Place a check box in the ESC menu that will open all hangers/containers in a new window. (Pushing Shift+Click is not a valid solution....It now takes 2 hands to do what I used to be able to do with 1 hand)

Basically make the Inventory customizable so that we can get it to look, feel, & function very similar to the way things used to work.

honestly soundwave, i know your job isn't easy but you may as well not bother, i've been scanning through the three threads all day, this is the first time i've seen a post off you from maybe.. 3? blue posts not of which addressed the MAIN ISSUE, it's not like you've got over 3000 posts on your forums about it or anything right?

so much for communication on CCPs part right? because we know how much you guys value your customers opinions.. so long as they match up with what you want and don't want to work towards a compromise that makes ALL your players happy

and don't even get me started on the complete and utter joke that is the CSM, mittani might be an ******* but at least he didn't run and hide from incarna the way these guys are hiding from this. that at least earned some respect

every single member of the current CSM should be ashamed of themselves. and so should most of the staff at CCP

I really... Really... REALLY dislike the new inventory thing. It's so bad it's downright annoying to use...

1) eve doesn't properly remember where (and which) inventory windows I had open and "docked" where. Each logon/dock/undock, they're all gone and I can go fiddle with it again until it's the way I want it.

2) fiddling around long enough I can "somehow" make the inventory work like it did before where doubleclicking a container opens a new window rather than changing the window to display the contents of something else. alas, see 1. I can fiddle for 10 minutes each time I log on to make it work this way.

And yes, this is a big deal. I want to DOUBLECLICK to open a container, and I want it in another window like it worked before. This is a convenience issue. I know I can shift click. But would you buy a car where you can only turn left... Hey to turn right, you can turn left 3 times. It'll get you there... But it's not what you expect of a car.

We had a perfectly usable inventory system. You decided to replace it but instead of just adding some bells and whistles you took away pretty much everything that was good about the old system. And gave us something that is barely usable. Have you bothered trying to manipulate large volumes of items across multiple containers ? How about salvaging ? the new system is downright annoying to use.

3) Give us an option to remove the X items, and yyy Est. price rows at the bottom. Neither of these is useful and it's taking up precious screen realestate.

4) Why can my ship hangar no longer show the ship I'm in in an "active" state like it used to. Now I have to try to deduce which ship ISN'T in the hangar to know for sure which one I'm flying. yada yada,
