Test Server Feedback

If the fix the looting fuctionality where the window closes after hitting loot all comes thru in this patch. The new NPE works fine but right now it changes to a main inventory window without any explanation center screen.

hope you can save other items too - like liquid ozone and repair paste.
(or a damsel ^^)



another great thing would be if you could fit ships out of a corp hangar or any open window where you have access to items, like containers.

The new Titan nerf. :)

Can we please also get tracking speed?

Blueprints for clones? What?

probably dust.

hopefully new awesome feature for everyone. I f you want cloning, make clones

That's cool, but why are you asking every time instead of just putting a checkbox on the window somewhere?

That's the difference between 10 annoying clicks or just one when fitting 10 ships.

Some things for the new new player experience:

Popup 08: Mission 1 complete. "If you dock at a station with no ships available you'll be given a free rookie ship" While technically that is correct, you might want to add "dock in a pod" or some similar effect to avoid confusion.

Popup 09: Training skills. Otherwise good, but could tell you where to obtain new skillbooks too! If this is a too early and confusing point, add it in 23: additional reading.

Popup 15: Basic combat. "Right-click the ship and select Target to lock on, and then click your weapon to activate it. Once you have killed the first one, a second one will show up" Consider adding "you might need to close distance first" since you warp in at 10 or so and will be out of range.

I think some mission description promised isk but did not give any. Either remove the reward from description or give the 500 isk.

Otherwise the new tutorial looks better and easier to understand. Those pointers and labels help a LOT in finding the relevant stuff.

Here is my feedback.

The market window+browse is so ******* boss.

I'm serious.

Except for when I search for an item, and I am not specific in my search and get the cool dropdown menus. I do not get the 'groups' functionality.

So if I search for 'nosf' and select the Ship Equipment tab on the left side, I don't get that chosen selection on the right side.

The problem with tutorials in general is they tell rather than show. The first thing I do when I get a new video game is push ALL the buttons. EVE wants you to read a stereo manual (i.e. some of the most boring text you will ever read.) However, the tutorials in EVE are extremely necessary. But re-writing boring unreadable text into new boring unreadable text will not help.

If I were to redo the NPE, I would first have better default window positions so new players have a context in which to talk to other players. I would then add a small window that is a context sensitive "activities" window. Click a blueprint in your assets, the content of the window would change to "build, research, evelopedia". Click a ship in space and you get a portrait of the pilot, ship icon, info on the ship (size, class, typical engagement range, ewar strengths etc, but obviously no new intel like what is actually fit.) Work all the tutorials into that context sensitive window, along with some "click here" arrows showing rookies rather than so much telling. (over time I would rework every window in the game to mesh with or be replaced by the activities window to turn EVE into an actual cohesive streamlined game. in fact making EVE a streamlined cohesive game would be a top priority for me, and you aren't going to get there with unfocused unintuitive unproductive inventory systems.)

The NPE needs less talkie talkie, more doing doing. Otherwise it just makes EVE seem boring and more confusing than it actually is.
