EVE General Discussion

totally agree
let us use both so everyone will be happy

This, pretty much. I wasn't too fond of the old system. And I don't really like the new system, it's not clear enough at a glance, and not intuitive enough. Given a choice though, I'd probably go back to the old version. Somehow square targeting in a game full of square windows (overview, D-scan, local, etc.) looks better to me, more consistent. However, if they re-do the UI so that all windows have rounded corners? Might be better. Readability should still be improved though.

X-bring back the old box targets.

Take your tongue out of the devs a$$.

The red circle is an incoming damage reference.
The ones with the brightest and biggest circles are doing the most real damage to you.

Yea, I said this on a test server and there was almost no reaction.

Those new bars (HP/Armor/Hull) are very hard to read.

Part of the problem is that the new bars are actually loose collections of boxes. There is (too much) space between the segments.

Not wanting to sounds like an old stink in the mud.... but I prefer the old.

I think I could get used to the new if only the mini ship portraits were not so f'ing dark - the nice thing about the old was that you could easily see the ship type, this new one makes it bloody hard.

I'll try playing around with my brightness/gama.

My first thoughts last night after a fight were literally, I wish they bring back the old bars. Its pretty annoying to have to squint to see their hp in the middle of a fight. CCP WHY U NO LIKE BARS

it's pretty terrible, the locked targets stay in position rater than move down in ther order you locked them, so you are constantly squinting to see which is the next target as the pictures of the ships are so vague. I list targets vertically and now only 3 fit upwards? that means with 7 locked targets I will have 3 columns of targets.

I can even stomach that if the new damage notifications didnt give me brain cancer, why The F*** have a constant stream of unreadable text scrolling in the middle of the screen? I heard rumours that I can move it, or even get rid of it.

Why are there big red blobs around enemy ships? This and to the already messy messy over view.

When engaging multiple war targets they flash on the overview. For some bizaar reason certain targets flash out of sinc with the rest again making it a complete headf**k to look at.

The circular locked targets are very hard to read, it is very confusing to quickly assertain how much damage a volley/strike is doing against your target without hovering your mouse over it. They are also too far apart on the screen.

In all, it it far, far too busy and meesy than before displaying pointless crap and colours for no reason, in a very poor manor for anyone engaging multiple targets, or running missions against multiple targets.

Please make my Christmas and let me use the old system. this new one is abysmally poor.

The only redeeming factor is the new skills allow me to be unprobable again so I can run missions whilst tabbed out, thus avoiding need a labotomy before bedtime after looking at the screen.
