If it's technically infeasible, well, lets just say I have nothing nice to say about this and would think twice about hiring these programmers.

If Politics is their worry, then they have failed as game creators.

So because you wasted time and money, you're obligated to waste MORE time and money? Do you actually believe that? Cutting your losses is the MOST IMPORTANT thing you can possibly learn when it comes to management.




Any word on why they ignored all feedback and pushed this garbage live? After all, that is what REALLY pissed everyone off and prompted the argument going personal.

It's interresting how Devs answer back only when there is positive feedback.
As working with customers everyday its with the negative feedback that I can improve my goods ( AND F....MAKE MORE MONEY)
3 paying accounts that will stop soon, dont think i will keep wasting my money!
CCP thanks for the 3 years for fun, shame it has to stop.
Fly safe... if you can fly

This may well be my last few posts as this account expires on the 17th and I’m taking a break for a while to see how this new UI pans out but here are my thoughts on it having used it both on SiSi and TQ.

I’m old, I know that, I learnt programming when it was done with assembler and before hard disks became mainstream so I was brought up the ‘old school way’ of programming.

Now I was always taught to treat people like an insect (no disrespect), and insects always likes to do things the same way. In other words if pressing 1 takes me to a new page and 9 takes me back then on every subsequent page the same numbers should always do the same.

This is the fundamental mistake this new UI makes. For instance if I click ‘Markets’ I get a ‘Markets Window’, if I click ‘Assets’ I get an ‘Assets’ window and so on with ‘Character’, ‘Agents’ and such like.

However if I click the new UI button I can get anything depending on what I last closed. It might be the cargo hold of my active ship, the cargo hold of my last used ship, any one of Ship Hanger, Items Hanger or even a proper new UI window.

To open any other window I have to hold shift and click something in the tree list (assuming I can see it) and this breaks my workflow, I might be pressing my ‘Talk’ button or my F1 to F8 keys but to open a window I have to stop doing that and press and hold shift. I really should not have to press any kind of key to open what is to all intents a ‘Top Level’ window i.e. a window I need open.

In using this UI I have also found other inconsistencies, if I right click my ship and click open cargo it opens a new window anywhere but if I double click either my hanger or ship it opens the cargo hold exactly where I opened it last time, it’s small things like this that cause confusion and frustration.

I’ve tried to get this UI to work for me, I really have but I just can’t seem to find a consistent workflow method to suite the way I used to work. Anyway enough of my ramblings, everyone fly safe and my last account expires in August so I’ll still keep any eye on the forums and check the UI from time to time.

I like finding the occasional BPC in the loot., it feels like winning the lottery. Thank you.

I think I finally figured out the Unified Inventory, once I finally got it set up, I was happy for several minutes. Then i exit the station and everything changes, dock again and everything changes, I try to open cargo but it just changes the context of the corp hanger.

If I use a right click on the inventory tree to open a station container in a corp hanger, DO NOT reuse some window that is already on the screen. If I did not want the window that was already on the screen, I would have closed it myself. Do not waste screen space by putting yet another copy of the inventory tree in every window you open.

Are you deliberately trying to aggravate me? What did i ever do to you to deserve such a malicious window behavior? I am beginning to think that you are picking on me. I am trying very hard to provide constructive criticism and state specific behaviors that need to be changed.

I must respectfully suggest that you ditch AGILE and start creating real design documents and do real QA, the hacking mentality is so unprofessional and it really does upset your customers.

You guys have patched the patch of the patch so many times I reckon I can earn a fortune.

CCP = Can't Code Properly

Patch finally fixed my fps! \o/

It was an AA issue... AA never played nice with my gfx card.

"Inventory locations in space that do not use the standard cargo transfer range will highlight to show accessibility based on the actual enforced operational interaction range."

You know something is ****** up when you dont even understand what the hell the patch notes are trying to say. Sounds like you fixed something here. No idea what it is or what to expect. All i know is that this **** will still be a far cry from the customisation, usability and speed of we used to have before you dropped the unified inventory turd on us.

English isn't my mother tongue, but I still understand it.
Normally the range to interact with containers etc is 2500m. If there is something floating in space that is farer away but you can still interact with it, it will get highlighted now. It's that easy.

It says "informartion" in the notes, lawl.

Was the horrible looting performance related to the AA settings or what? Because this is the first time since the release of Inferno that salvaging/looting missions has become practical again, but I have seen no mention of it in the 1.1.6 patch notes. This is a BIG deal that deserved to be mentioned there IMO.

I stopped playing for a week or so and was about to unsubscribe when Inferno was released, tried again when I saw some attempts to improve the unified inventory mess, then was about to give up permanently after the 1.1.3 patch a few days ago, which was a step backwards and made salvaging/looting even worse.

I'm still not happy with the fact that CCP thought it was OK to release that crap in the state it was, completely ignoring the players that took the trouble to test and give feedback about it. This is unacceptable behaviour IMO and makes me not very confident about the future of CCP as a company, but I must say that, despite the new unified inventory still leaves a lot to be desired, EVE is working acceptably for me now for the first time since the release of Inferno...
