Test Server Feedback

Can you confirm UI resize feature? Is it in early development stage or will be delivered in winter expansion?

Just wanted to provide my feedback after loading Singularity. The new font seems rather DOS-ish....the old font, as flawed as it may have been, did create a unique game feel. Furthermore, the new font is easier to read..but that could easily be because the font size is clearly larger. On the settings screen, there are some issues as the font remains jumbled amongst the settings and is unreadable.

I strongly support the old font...then again I am Amarr and struggle with change.

Christ almighty... the new font looks TERRIBLE.

Well I think it is one of the cleanest fonts I've ever read. Fantastic piece of work!

Very well done and thanks


Wish I could use it on my ebook reader

I'd like to provide some feedback regarding the font issue. I greatly appreciate attempts to improve gaming experience via changing old font to new, easier to read one which despite some overlapsing issues looks really well. BUT I consider old font to be one of major components contributing to this unique and attractive game feel. If the new font is to stay I'd love to have choice between new font and old font. New font is much bigger and for people that know what is where and what are they looking for it can make finding some things harder, because items in menus will be much bigger and they will require more space, which could be used to show more positions in old font. It feels like CCP feels the need to take something good away, didn't work with spinning so now the font is on target.

tl;dr: If the new font has to stay at least give us possibility to use ol' good font that we love so much. I don't like new one.

That's no explanation. We do not want 2 fonts at the same time, we need an option to choose one or another. If switching the font on the fly is not possible, then maybe you should rework on the codebase until it is, and then work on a new font. And no, i'm NOT kidding.

Did i tell you, that the ugly new font looks like from a cheap asia-grinder? Yea, i think i did. Nevermind.

I despise the new font. I've always liked the old one.

The new font looks like a child scribbled letters on my monitor with a pencil.

The numbers are bloated and horrible.

My wallet transactions will take more vertical space, and most things will take up more horizontal space. more paging thru items to get the same information. OVERVIEWS are going to require more vertical space, and that's something that will bring you some ire from the customers. That's just the tip.


I hate that it's not fixed-width.


I prefer the clean look of all caps, sure it's less informal, but a computer ( either in a station or in a starship ) is feeding you data.



I don't like it, at all. Aesthetically it's bad. And it takes up more precious UI space to do the same job as the old font, so it's less efficient.

Give us the option of keeping the old font, or don't do it. Learn from Incarna. Plenty of folks wanted WiS just like plenty of folks want a new font. Don't take away the option of using the old font we've had for 8 years, just like you should'nt have taken away ship spinning when you gave those folks incarna.

Offer us options? Great! Force a change because some folks want it and others don't, Bad!

seriously, some people liked staring at the incarna door.... and some people liked 80 dollar monocles. Is that your arguement here?

Have you lost subscribers because the font was a little hard to read? Do you have data on that?



Make the old font larger.

Or, take your own suggestion and make the UI Scalable.

The new font is horrid. It's doesn't reflect scifi - eve'ness.

and yes, OMG it's ugly.

You think that doesn't matter? That matters the most of all. Eve has often been compared to a fancy IRC client, or a pay-to-play spreadsheet game.

a HUGE percentage of your time in eve is spent starting at the font.

Far more often than the pretty nebulaes, or even the pretty ships ( especially when you took away ship-spinning, but we all know how that ended.)

Yes the font appearance matters far more than it's functionality.

whether it's pvp, chatting, or minging, or marketeering, or scamming, the thing you use the most relates to the font.

so take your piece of garbage font, and get rid of it. it sucks, we know it, you know it, and changing the font is NOT the answer to the readability issue.

SCALING IS, and you've mentioned that 'future project' yourself. So scrap this, and start on that. There's you're answer.

Posted this in another thread (didn't see the sticky, duh!)


Ok, I'm officially stupid, where are these options? I can't find them anywhere.



Well it seems we're in the minority here, but I have to agree. I have no problem with the current font presently on Tranquility. This new one looks like someone is writing a BASIC program on a Spectrum 48k. More importantly, I can only see about half as much information on screen at a time = major functionality impairment.

Either provide an option to keep the current font, or at least a way to resize it so that we don't lose functionality.

1680x1050 on 20" and fonts are too small?

I don't blame your eyesight, I don't blame CCP, I blame monitor manufacturers.

27" is the smallest I'd go for 1920x1080 and 23" is the smallest I'd go for 1680x1050 even then my parents have to lower the res on theirs.

I mean now they're making 21" 1920x1080....

Either wait for a scalable UI or drop your resolution.

Old font forever.
