EVE Information Portal

I don't think it that much of an issue - it just mimics the funtonality of the windows explorer here. Ever tried dragging stuff around in your start menu?
Can't comment on much else as I didn't even try to adjust it yet. I just CBA so far and I'll probably just wait another few weeks. Not like reloading ammo needs me to open the inventory - I can rightclick my guns =).


+1 to Trinkets friend for best post on threadnaught (followed by Chribbas xD)


As far as I am concerned the UI could load the assets too - that way at least all the inventories would be unified into one window. The procedure for loading said information would certainly have to be worked on (e.g.: allways have "Assets" as a possible tree but minimized and unloaded - after all you don't look stuff up there that often. At least I don't).

Pretty frightening statement, especially as a lot of the fixes you have been working on have been performance related.

How did your internal testing miss so many noticeable performance issues and what steps will be taken to prevent this happening again?

Lol

Please explain to me how you thought you were ready considering the amount of negative feedback this inventory received from SiSi? Did everyone that posted feedback waste their time, because it certainly looks that way to a lot of people on here.

Also with regards to you needing to get back on track with your scheduled releases, i presume this is in the hope that you can gain a few new subs to cover the ones that have left/are leaving through this latest debacle.

IMO your priorities are completely wrong. You should be trying to keep yiour existing customer base before trying to attract new ones.

Dear CCP,

I fully realise that this thread is already 6 pages long and based on past observations it will no doubt have already stopped being read by you and the chance of any more dev replies here is down to a fraction of 1 percent. But i will post my post anyway and then cross my fingers that someone in Iceland reads it.

Wrecks, Cargo Containers (that do not belong to me or my corp), Mission Containers (e.g. The damaged Heron in World Collide), Radar and Magnetometric site containers.

These are things that DO NOT belong to me so why are they opening in MY inventory?

When salvaging or exploring I do not want or need the whole inventory to open every single time I try to loot a wreck or container no matter how much you speed it up from it's current asmatic snail speed (seriously the whole client should not come to a complete stop when you open a wreck!!!!)

Please, please, please, separate these items from MY inventory. You have turned these things that I loved doing into something that makes me want to put my fist through the screen.

I am now crossing my fingers in the hope that this is read and acted upon.

Regards

Obviously CCP has done as much as they can to "Fix" inventory in as short a period as possible. Too bad some issues labeled as fixed weren't fixed to the level CCP project members desired. But then I think they are going farther than CCP as a whole should.

It is time for CCP to move back to more normal release schedule. Its time for everyone to recognize that fixing some UI issues needs to be given a long time on the back burner. Allow for sanity in design, coding and priorities rather than panic mode.

In the mean time CCP needs to consider telling people that some issues WON'T Be fixed because they are too fundamental and the time spent wouldn't improve the game enough to be worth while.

Real PVP players only need inventories big enough to fit and hold their current ships. If your inventory was that reasonable size,performance would be just fine. That is what CPC tested against and they succeeded beautifully. All you other whiners are asking for stuff the game really doesn't need to support. Choose industry and mining and you simply should pay the devil's price a carebear should expect when abusing the game that way.

*** In fact I suggest CCP tell industrialists that the UI was an intentional NERF just like ship nerfs. A slow UI in fact does reflect a more realistic industrial process. Frankly all production except ammo should probably be slowed further. Ships losses should be meaningful not back in a hour with the same ship fit. Maybe the new UI can discourage so many players from doing Industry and mining -- so that losses can finally outpace production and bring forward the exciting possibility of actually winning EVE (last corp standing).

* A slow and unreliable UI also stops unrealistic feats like haulers snatching ore from flipped cans jsut as they instawarp or ninja bystanders in hi sec snatching loot from honest gankers and instawarping away with the profits. ***


Basically if you need a fast reliable inventory -- you aren't doing enough PVP and playing EVE the way it should be played.

I think CCP should survey players by EVE career/playing style before putting more effort into this issue. I highly suspect most decent PVP players are pretty satisfied and that only bad PVP players looking for bizarre edges and exploits care about further UI improvements. And the core of complaints will come down to a tiny minority of carebear industrialists and miners who warp the game when anyone listens to their needs. Again choosing that career in EVE is equal to choosing to suffer, so CCP should more or less let you do what you can in EVE based on an interface focused purely on the needs of the majority of EVE players flying the CCP vision of action and not waste time catering to a sad whiney self-torturing minority building piles of treasure for no specific end purpose.

This

You mean like this? Or this?

You have obviously never done any sort of serious industrial action before.
Do you realize that getting all the indies to unsub causes the prices on everything to go up.
I'm starting to doubt that there is an inflation problem as opposed to a massive exodus of industrial players leaving the game due the excessive ganking and idiotic UI changes to make inventory manipulation an exercise in frustration. No wonder people are disinterested in having anything to do with industry or mining in EVE anymore.

Perhaps you should inform yourself about the topic being discussed before posting.

Please go back and read the sisi test threads (multiple), the devblog comment threads (several), the official GD thread on the topic (numerous, but one that the devs themselves commented in and referred everyone to), and the dev-initiated UI proposal thread in F&I. Then come back here and apologise for your shameful display.


edit: less rage about blatant idiocy and ignorance.
