Some feedback!


  1. Agree with Nimrodion, for contacts please add the standing insignia to the avatar like before.

  2. Have an ability to clear the notifications or view all if you want. Each time I open it it loads all notifications I have. Once I have viewed them I don't need them to be in my "Notifications" anymore. I can go see them in their respective places

  3. Have an option to hide the icon if there are no notifications. So players could access it anytime, there could be a link to open the "Notifications" settings in the "E" menu.


Another thing I noticed. Whenever I open the "Notifications" menu, my FPS continues to drop while it loads all its data. I went from 60 FPS to about 17 FPS in 10 seconds. Once the data finished loading in the "Notifications" my FPS went back to 60.

because so far they only pushed existing notifications, as there are no manufacturing or PI notifications in game right now...

We have a clear notifications button in the works, probably coming in a followup patch this or next week.

We definitely want industry, PI and a bunch of other new notification types, we just couldn't get them in yet which is part of why we went with opt-in to start. We will be adding notification types as soon as we can.

With respect to watchlist notifications:

The old system included a standings icon on the pilot's picture when they logged in or logged out.

This appears to be missing in the new system.

Right click functionality (for e.g. edit/remove contacts by right clickin on a login/logoff notification of such contact) feels like it's missing now when compared to the old system.

It doesn't work, regardless of how long I press the right mouse button.

Enabling this brings a popup asking if you want to enable this service and only gives acknowledgment as an option. Even if you close the popup it still enables the feature.

Consider removing that question or adding a yes/no button instead of just 'ok'.

1. Add option to choose 'how many to show in history'. When I enabled new notifications I got 365 :D
And each time I open notification window all 365 are loading. What for? Not cool. Not cool.
2. Please add litle ''cross'' in top right corner of every pop up. So I can close it. If I close it - also a NUMBER OF A NEW UNREAD NOTIFICATION should dissapear.
Because atm it is not very cool. 3 persons went offline. Now I have RED NUMBER " 3 ". And to remove it I have to open notification history. Not cool.

A reallly nice new feature. but it needs a diminshing option. Maybe by time, by "only unread" or by origin. 450 notifications without an option of sorting them out is not practicable.

Couple of suggestions:

1) When history is opened, add a right-click (or similar) option to disable notifications of this type (ideally, as history and/or popup) rather than having to figure out where it is in the settings list.

2) Some of the notification types in settings could probably do with a bit of explanatory text on hover (particularly some of the miscellaneous ones). Most are self-explanatory though.

Finally, there is a spelling error in Miscellaneous > Jump Clone Distruction <- should be 'Destruction'.

Would love to be able to make the entire thing "see-trough", like if you "pin" the window.

Would also like the ability to make the widget a part of the neocom si I can place it in the neocom and not on top of it. The neocom is kinda where everything like it is placed.

Awesome feature! Had it activated on all my accounts.

However:


  1. Moving the widget is unintuitive. Let the user use the LMB
  2. In the notification history, it would be nice if one could right click on visible items and get a menu letting the user disable notification of the same category, e.g. right-clicking on a Agent Mission Expired entry gives a menu Hide similar from History and Do not show in popup. The user clicks on Hide similar from history and get a (discardable) warning "Agent Mission Expired notifications will not be listed in your notification history. This option can be re-enabled from the Notification Settings window." [OK]
  3. Please add a "Clear history" option.


Again, thanks for a great feature. Let's hope the future brings more of these opt-in betas.

In the beginning, there was pain and despair. And death. Immense tragedies and terrible catastrophies.

Some feedback:

1.
It needs more customization options/possibilities, like customizable width and transparency.

2.
The "zoom-in and out" effect when drag-and-droping it needs to be removed for a more precise placement.

3.
We should have the possibility to pin-it to the Neocom; or make it a Neocom button. I can't really find it a good other place on my screen/ui. The notifications could appear in a column like the Neocom sub-menu.

4.
Add the possibility to "clear all" and "clear" individually notifications.


...

It needs a lot more polishing before a definitive release.

I cant move it anywhere or close it, so it pops only when there is any new notification. I can't merge it into this bar in UI, where the rest of icons are.

Custom ship skins, character creator style "repaint". Bring it!

since i saw the category "structure lost" i assumed that it is probably a notification for pos structures only. Would be nice to have that for the new deployables too. Clicking the notification would open the loss mail.

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

I don't understand, why you guys didn't use the "new" widget bar we did get some expansions ago for this. It was never touched after release though new widgets where announced. The new notifications-menu would perfectly fit in there.
