EVE Information Portal

We should go shout at the sisi crowd.

Whats really jarring is the big opaque black box the information is shown in, and it gets worse the more information thats shown. EVE is a pretty game and this just detracts from it.

Shall we gather at Jita tomorrow and shoot the monument?

Thank you for the improved mouse movement in the menus it's great!


As a noob I do like that the tooltips show the shortcuts (I am currently learning them)

I do a lot of these data / relict sites. I noticed that with the new tooltips it's harder to collect all the cans which are ejected after successfully hacking.

I don't like that the tooltip has an mouseover effect and stays there when the mouse is over the tooltip and not over the cannister anymore. Maybe it should starting fading out after the mouse leaves the cannister .

pretty sure said monument will have hard time if CCP doesn't get their fingers out their rear and come with a solution before this weekend

Something strange happened earlier with the tooltips. I was no longer getting any pop up tooltips on one of my accounts. I would hover my cursor over objects from ships to celestial and I got nothing--no new tooltips blocking my view, thankfully, but also none of the old info pop ups. I re-logged and the tooltips were back. Not sure what happened. It was wonderful to no longer see the tooltips! But also not great to get no pop up information whatsoever. (Just what these terrible changes need--instability in functioning as well!)

@CCP

Overall I really enjoy the tooltips and putting a UI/UX hat on, I know they're going to be positive for the game overall despite what some people are saying.

Tooltips are everywhere in software and every major operating system has guidelines for when to use them and not use them.

I will state that, in general, players shouldn't be receiving less information from updated tooltips than from the original tooltips. Or if that's happening it should be done with forethought.

Many good points, it seems, were brought up about certain tooltips getting in the way of clicking on things or seeing things -- and those need to be addressed. But, please, CCP, please do not listen to the players who are simply stating that tooltips are useless just because they don't use them. Or that they feel like you're insulting them because you're, e.g. adding a tooltip to the close button. This is standard practice and many studies have shown that this is important for new users of software.

I would, however, use the tooltips as places to put additional relevant information and not just a repeat of what's there. I think you had some great mockups in place at Fanfest.

D. (though wishing I was funny enough to be A). Someone who figured the common combat cases would be covered by the majority of other responses and decided to cover lesser used stuff.

Look, I think mining is, generally, as boring as the next person. And I'd love to see it replaced with something better, but in the mean time we can at least make it a little less annoying.

As for the other things, they're just little quality of life issues. Save me a click by not forcing me to open up the wallet. The notifications system will make it all better, but that's probably a year away. For the stations, that's just another click saver.

Somebody from CCP should fly a mission and try to target individual ships (not using the overview) within a group by using ctrl and the mouse.

Let us know how it goes.

New tool-tips will be altered - removed pretty much immediately.

From what I understand this was never on the test server.
