Cool



Because 'Ctrl A' and drag was too difficult for some people?

Players will be crying that it doesn't prioritise the correct items if your cargo hold is nearly full next...


That's the attitude that you find in gamestudios, that make average games instead of great ones. The correct attitude towards improving the playing experience is always to ask "how can we make this thing better" and not immediately settle for "good enough". Regardless it always makes sense to improve a feature when there are no negative side effects attached to the change and implementing it isn't an issue.

PS. You are still free to use ctrl+A and drag the loot in your cargohold, if you feel it's the better way of doing things. Blink


So, 8 years is an acceptable time to 'make things better' in order to have a great game!

I'm fairly sure that's not what they meant. With CCP's new focus on EVE and making the game better as a whole, we're seeing a lot of features that were "Good Enough" before, that are now becoming great.

  • The Font used to be "Good Enough" and now we have a new one.
  • Loot All is another example.
  • V3 project for ships so we can have logos on our ships.
  • Incarna (because ship spinning alone used to be "Good Enough".)
  • Blaster Fix.
  • New Tier of BC

And that's just a very small portion of what CCP is doing for us. All this is because CCP has finally acknowledged the fact that their game is not, in fact, "Good Enough" to just let it sit and suffer. Adding new things and fixing old, CCP is slowly changing their game from good to great.

Mmm, I love the smell of pod goo in the morning.

EDIT: and no more dragging and dropping.


Because ctrl-A is just too damned hard.

I'll pass the cheers along to the relevant party! That's just the first of many things my team been up to.
Stay tuned. You haven't heard the last of us. Cool

We need something to celebrate while we shoot Jita memorial for no reason whatsoever.
That is how Jita people celebrate or rage, memorial always gets it. Cool

Questions:

1. I'm assuming the range is only 2500m?
2. If you don't have sufficient cargohold for everything it loots a portion same as current to fill hold?
3. Is there a hotkey?
4. Do you need the wreck/can selected (no: what if there are multiple wrecks in range?)?

Nice little feature. Cheers.

Range should be unchanged. Its 2.5km on SiSi.
If cargo-hold doesn't have the space, i guess it will loot whatever can fit.
Hotkey is doubtful.
Currently, you need to open a wreck/can and press loot all, so one by one as it was before.

Some filters would be nice, do not loot metal scraps or cap charges, but i guess that's too much to ask for.

you can buy adult nappies for that problem you have.

Everytime you buy something that says "made in china" you are helping the rising unemployment in your own country unless you are from china, Buy locally produced goods and help create more jobs.

Ahh... Now that is the million dollar question. Blink

Unfortunately, I don't know if this is the venue for a formal introduction, which should happen soon enough through official channels.
But in the meantime, a team name couldn't possibly hurt anything...
