EVE Information Portal

I thought I'd write the laundry list of issues I have with the new UI, but I see it all written here and in the new UI devblog thread by others, so there doesn't seem to be any point in doing it. The only two points I'd like to emphasize is, that a single inventory window just isn't enough and it seems to take a lot of time to load at times.

The single window works somewhat ok while you aren't doing anything inventory intensive. As soon as that changes you encounter a myriad of issues. A single window just can't be made to function efficiently for every purpose. I want a small, simple window for my cargohold, but if I configure it for that, it becomes useless for any serious inventory management. If I leave the tree showing and the window expanded, it becomes too large and cumbersome when dealing with small/simple inventories and eats a lot of valuable screen space. No matter how you configure it, it's bad for some other common usage. If you make windows for every usage you need, most of your play time is reduced to playing with inventory windows. This one window to rule them all was a terrible design philosophy and I can't believe anyone with any UI experience ever thought it was a good idea.

In addition to that basic problem, the UI takes time to load at times and seems sluggish. I don't know if it's caused by the extra features like price of cargo showing or is it caused by how the whole system is programmed, but it isn't making it any easier to like the new system. It's like a spoiled cherry on a **** sunday.

I'm sure you'll get around to fixing these issues at some point, but they've turned off all interest I had in logging on to the game. I've played games on a constant basis since the 80's on multiple platforms and I can say without hesitation, that you've made one of the crappiest UI I've ever had the pleasure of using. Not the worst, since you're up against some pretty tough competition, but still a solid fail that drains a player's will to play the game.

Hope you get it fixed sooner rather than later.

The hell is this sh*t? They didn't learn after we destroyed the monument outside of jita? WTF is it going to take for them to learn to get it right.

Need a new protest target...

Tree view explorer came well before Windows 7 and it's still a piece of crap almost nobody uses.

But, most important, tree view or not, you can open 2-3-5-10 explorer windows (with tree view or not) and drag'n'drop stuff at will.

So why did CCP copy the annoying Windows tree view but not the ability to have 2-3-5-10 open?

As logistics pilot

1) I don't use inventory 99.5% of time;

2) I don't use missiles + turned them off to prevent DPS drop in massive fights;

3) I don't participate in factional warfare;

4) I don't use any new modules;

5) I see incursions community imploding.

So here is my feedback: meh. Incarna was much more interesting even in form of jail cell. It seems DUST consumed all CCP's "expansions-capable" resources and EVE won't get anything interesting until DUST development will be frozen.

The good thing about this expansion is the timing. The weather is nice, so no need to sit in front of the computer. Some alt subs run out soon and won't be resubbed.

Firstly I would like to say I love the Inferno trailer and have always enjoyed EVE online's trailers (in fact I still watch the dominion trailer while running missions just to make myself feel even more epic than I already do). With regard to Inferno I have some likes and dislikes:

Likes:
- Love the new missile turrets and missile effects, I've been flying caldari since launch just to play with the new missiles, not productive at all but incredibly fun. Excellent job on this CCP, my favorite update yet just because of the missiles.

- I enjoy the new textures on the amarr ships, the gold makes them as elegant as their description suggests, great job.

- I wasn't around for the initial deployment but from what I've seen including the lack of a patch after updating the deployment went smoothly, good job CCP.

Dislikes:
- I like the concept of an all inclusive inventory window however the current window as it is feels incredibly clumsy, it took me a while to figure out where all of my ships went when I first logged on, really wish we could go back to the way it was before inferno. Having all of my cargo holds available in one window is awesome for corp office management and especially when leading a mining op in my orca. As far as improving this feature I would like to see the all inclusive inventory screen stay while in space (although it would be nice if wrecks didn't get attached to my cargo hold window, sort of annoying), while returning in station inventory to the original ships and items breakdown.

- It took me a while to figure out what was meant by mercenary marketplace, it would be nice if we were able to see some sort of stats such as kill/loss ratio or isk killed/lost ratio for potential mercenaries. I like the concept but I feel this needs work.

All in all an excellent update (primarily because of the missiles), you've made a believer out of me.

ease up on CCP, those devs are straining their mental faculties to come up with this half-baked idea that they got some info about it from their anuses... their freakin' heads are up on their rectums that they can't hear or see player comments against this implementation...

i agree, the game as a whole is pretty good, and i think the rest of those in anger would concur, but one thing you ought to know, and i guess all the peeps raging here agree that we, yes, including me, are raging because we want the game to stay as a pretty good game, we don't want its "uberness" to get scaled down just because of a good idea but sadly, implemented badly.

Did I just get a rectal exam? Ohh wait it's the new interface!

At least the inventory system is playable. The issue with people remaining in chats makes the game unplayable as intended.
