Player Features and Ideas Discussion

When dragging an item to another section in the tree, the main window switches focus to this section when you hover over the tree list which is very annoying.

The search box in the upper-right corner clears when you switch to a different section in the inventory. It should remember it's state so you can search for an item and then just click through the sections in the tree, searching for that same item in each tree category.

The tree view uses up far too much screen real estate, a tabbed view would be far superior. Perhaps make it an option so you can choose to use whichever style fits you best. While you're at it, adding tabs to the ship maintenance array that could each be configured for use by a different pilot would be awesome, maybe even allow you to partition off an amount of the total storage capacity so that you could chose to have 2 equal sized tabs, or maybe one tab that is 50% and two other tabs each 25%, etc.

Stacking Items takes way too long.

Make each section remember it's preferred view settings. I want to see my ships as icons and my items as a detailed list without having to constantly push the button to change it.

I like to have my cargohold open in a small window in the lower corner of my screen while flying in space. I don't want other windows to default to opening to this window. Allow a way to seperate a section from the tree view and pin it in place so that it always opens in it's preferred location. I don't want to have to shift-click everytime I want to loot a wreck or something. Maybe allow a way choose whether your default action is open in a new window, or open in the same window.

I have given this new inventory system a chance. I've been using it and feel more comfortable with it now than I did at first. I didn't want to just start griping right away without giving it a fair chance first, however the old inventory system was far superior. Every task you do in the game requires the use of the inventory system and such a fundamental change to one of the core components to the game should have been thought out much better and thoroughly tested before it was implemented. The feedback on the forums about this system while it was on Sisi should have made it clear that it was not ready, yet it was pushed through regardless.

This new system has made me change my gameplay style greatly. I can no longer stand to use the inventory system if it can be avoided. This has cost me a great deal of isk as I no longer want to do any ratting and looting/salvaging, I no longer enjoy trade as it takes much longer to accomplish the same thing. I have had to occupy myself with pvp mostly for now, but without being able to do the tasks easily that I used to do in order to support my pvp habit my funds are dwindling and I'm seriously considering finding another game. My account expires in October. I guess we'll see how I feel about it when October comes around.

Probably overlapping with other suggestions writte here:

Display shorter names for containers. For example, Station, Ships, ETC. Also, if I named a container I probably did so because I wanted to see its name, and nothing else. So exile the descrption (Large Secure Container) to the back of the line.

Implement horizontal slidebars everywhere already...

Instead of displaying only the dropdown arrows, draw lines that show clearly where the container belongs.

It should be possible to see multiple containers' contents and capacity information at once. Suddenly, Dividers! Thousands of them! Okay, maybe a limit of sixteen will be enough? Just buplicate the right-side part of the current window with vertical sorting.

Add checkboxes in front of the containers, so we can easily select which ones we want to always see. This information should be saved, so when a container becomes inaccessible, it disappears from the list, but when it comes back, the divider comes back, too.

Quoted from my blog, Rants from New Eden. More details there.

Since you changed the inventory UI, why do we have a separate, redundant "Assets" window anyway? While you're at, unify the " Assets" tab under Corporation too. I have 3-4 different UIs to find my stuff. That's stupid.

Inventory should be just one window. Where it's currently written "Index", offer a dropdown menu to select a different station (sorted by system/const/region). Then I can select another station and see, under the tree, the things on my personal hangar and corporation hangar. I should be able to see all my stuff with the same UI and do remote actions like selling and installing blueprint jobs.

Also, I don't like how my current ship, all my assembled ships, my item hangar, my ship hangar and corporation hangars all get mixed up on the navigation tree. Give it a reasonable organization. They are all at the same level in the tree, even though they represent completely different things. Make it like this:

- Active Ship
-- Drone Bay
---
- Ship Hangar
-- Ship N
---
- Item Hangar
-- Container N
---
- Corporation Hangar
-- Division N
- Personal Hangars
-- Corpmate N
---
- Market Deliveries

Pretty much this. What we are complaining about is not what you have given to us, but rather what you took away without ANY credible explanation. (Across at least 4 threads I read so far, plus 2 I know about but did not post in). It is a 1:1 repetition of CQ, only worse. I just wonder when we will receive the next tearful explanation and promise to listen to customers more - don't bother, I won't believe you anyways. Just fix this s**t.

ISSUE: The Unified Inventory
FIX: Make a rollback to the old system or a possibillity to choose between the bugged inventory or the good old workable system.

THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been posting this issue in all of the different threads, but no Dev or GM wants to step up and answer it. They just want to point me to "other threads"... Anyway, I really would like an answer to this:

The Unified Inventory, as described on CCP's very own website, IS NOT the same as the Unified Inventory that I am forced to use in-game.



Taken from this page --->>> http://www.eveonline.com/inferno/unified-inventory-ftr/

"My entire fortune" is available with the Unified Inventory? The Unified Inventory gives me "convenient access" to all of my stuff?

When I'm in Dodixie, I can see what's in my Orca in Jita - with the Unified Inventory? When I'm in Jita, I can see what's in my hangar in Dodixie, or Rens, or Amarr, or... ANYWHERE ELSE - with the Unified Inventory? I must be doing something wrong...

THAT SOUNDS LIKE THE ASSETS WINDOW TO ME.

It seems like this "feature" was originally intended to be used for the assets window, and then got sidetracked into this mess we have now. In my opinion, the assets tab really is the perfect place for this new toy.

Could a DEV please explain what has happened here? Your website contradicts the reality of the game.

Other comments are most welcome.

Thank you.

THIS!!!! QFT!

ISSUE: When is CCP going to stop FLAT OUT LYING to its current and future customers? Hmm?

It all started being document-able with the Player owned custom offices (wow, who would have thought "TAX RATES WOULD DOUBLE" would mean multiplied by 10, 100 or more? Is CCP a government company?)

Fix: START TELLING THE TRUTH! AND TELL IT CONSISTENTLY. IF YOU'RE NOT SURE ABOUT A FEATURE, DON'T DEPLOY IT, AND THEN A FEW WEEKS LATER SAY "WE HONESTLY THOUGHT WE WERE READY!"

UI= "Unbelievable Incompetence?"

Fix: Don't make players WHO PAY YOU TO PLAY jump through a bunch of hoops to get on your test server, without reward, JUST TO IGNORE THEM!

Fix: Reward your testers, whether it's BPCs for ships non-testers don't get like Concord Police battleships

Fix: Make SISI stable for testers, it's impossible to TEST anything except something seriously glaring like this UI if you keep getting booted off every 5 minutes or less.

Honestly, if this clunker isn't at least OPTIONAL by the time my accounts come up for renewal, I'm gone, and no those CCP Sycophants can't "haz my stuff."

So it's stupid to point out when someone lies to your face?

Suggest you pay more attention to when CCP DID respond.

Helpful hint: It wasn't when we were all "civil."

Issue: Poor eyesight, resulting in poor inventory usability. (With the tiny text and no options.)
Solution: Toggleable large icons!
