They are reviewing the options and will know more tomorrow - ie: on/off or delay


In the time it takes to evaluate which option to choose, they could have done the right thing and done both.

This isn't rocket surgery.

Customizable and optional tooltip delays have existed in games for years.

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.

We updated the new module button tooltips today, Friday, in Inferno 1.2.2, based on your feedback.

Please find information on the new and updated tooltips in this post from CCP Soundwave: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=142498

We'd love to hear your feedback on today's update in that thread.

Thanks for the heads up Explorer.

I'll be on a bit later and will see how it looks.

You know what I would love to see? Some statistics on how many people disable the tooltips in their clients following today's patch.

The feeling I get is that CCP comes up with the idea, in this case it's tooltips. Something nobody really wants or needs. Then they introduce these tooltips into the game, with no ability to turn them off. An obvious upset ensues (show of hands, who here did not see this coming?), and the toggle gets patched in. This is usually where the story ends. But I'd like to see the real ending of the story - how many people disable the tooltips, meaning all that time and effort was completely wasted on a superfluous feature nobody needed after all.

I'm basing this on previous MMO experience, where most people would disable or significantly delay tooltip apperance, because they know exactly what these abilities do. And that's in MMOs where most serious players use keybinds, not mouse, and thus tooltips are much less of a problem.

Having said that though, I absolutely love the in-space tooltips in the tutorial. You guys could do an entire UI based off that, instead of current UI. Would be much more interesting, especially using a tactical overview. But that's a discussion for another time.

Since they didn't add an option to toggle it off, the answer would be 0.

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

not sure why they can't just give the UI to the players and let us do what we want. they've shown repeatedly that every change they make is going to upset one segment of the populace.


If they gave the UI to the players, some would still be upset.

It is the nature of Eve players to be upset at something or other most of the time.

This is not a signature.

Good! Last time I met Spank in space it only took he-she like 2 seconds to kill me! Next time it's on! Spank splatter all over space!

Do not assume anything above this line was typed by me. Nerf the Truth, it's inconvenient.
