The tool tips are fine, stop bitching. It's not like they are always on screen, the box goes when you move your mouse.


You don't ******* say genius. Did you figure that out all by yourself?

Dear CCP, I know the range on my warp disruptor. I know that when I hover my mouses over my cloaking device - it is indeed still a cloaking device.

Can we please get the option to remove tooltips? Or are you going to have to get that by the Art Department first?

May I suggest a slider with the following options for the new tooltips:

off - 1 sec delay - 0.5 sec delay - no delay

I don't need tooltips in most cases, but they are very handy when being tracking disrupted or to do a quick check on crystal damage. So I would set this slider to 1 second delay.


or just a frelling combo box

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

New tooltip is useful when carrying different type of ammo, you keep switching back and forth
depending on the scenario. This way you can get the info you need about what ammo you have loaded asap
without clicking things.

God forbid clicking Blink

So what's better tough guy - the text being too big or too small?

Clearly my point was that it's only on screen for a few second.

ps. you're a douchbag. grats

The wishlist is pretty much complete...

Why is Taranius de Trollville not banned yet? Not a single constructive post.

The tooltips are way to large, and I really wish there will be an option to turn them off.


He is not banned, as one always tries to make allowances for childrenSmile

more talking... we are also planning on adding more delay (not sure how much).... I'm about to start making those changes :)


Please add the delay to the tooltip-like funciton on mouse-over brackets in space too!

It's annoying as hell to have those things scattering all over the screen the instant my mouse gets near a bracket.

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

New tooltips look GREAT! Don't let the naysayers sway you from the excellent work you're doing, CCP!

They are a great addition especially for new players but voting for the option to hide them asap as I have the targetted items strip horizontal above my capacitor for quick access and its interferring with the way I play :(

Agreed, please have an option to turn these tooltips off. Tooltips are a terrible accessory in most games. It seriously adversely affects my gameplay with the popups.

EDIT: please bring the option to turn them off fast...and stop wasting time on tooltips :I seriously, tooltips...the most disabled feature in every game.

What resolution are you using there? I usually play on 1920x1080... sometimes I get fancy and do the 5760x1080 thing.

PS: Besides bigger monitor, you also need moar DPS.

I hope you guys will still use them, but if you really don´t want them, you will be able to turn them off (so it's new awesome tooltips or no tooltips).

I hope that will work for you guys :)


I'll always use them and I wish you lots of licorice. Big smile

I love the idea, the information displayed, and the ideas to add an option to disable/add more delay that CCP already posted ITT.

What I would REALLY like is for you to make them about 25% smaller or add a few different size options.

Being able to set a delay may even be enough. Adding the option to disable a single function might be a bit overkill with a proper delay.

And why the icons ??

The tooltip assumes that sometimes you might eg fit three active shield hardeners and not remember which one you happened to put in which HUD slot Smile

I'd suggest an option for a smaller version without the icons.

I don't use icons in my inventory. I don't use portraits on my chat. Let me get rid of the icons that make the popup larger than is necessary. It's four lines of text that could be condensed to 3.

edit: I want it to look like this:
