MOSAIC (NEW) ISSUES & FEEDBACK:

First, some positive feedback: I like the POS Shielding visuals! A pleasant step up from 7 years ago! Good job!

The rest are issues with feedback intertwined in observations with possible solutions:

- DELAYS: TRANSITIONING FROM UNDOCKING: There seems to be a 3-8 second black screen delay between undocking and entering space. This is just from local experiences. Makes me quite hesitant to think of undocking in systems like Jita. Is this a suggestion of too much background program mechanics occuring before player is given viewable control in space, and will this affect being shot at while your screen/client is trying to create the outside view of space after undocking? (Interestingly: This is not happening between stargate/system session changes, if that helps. Only undocking from stations.) It should be noted that the entire game itself "feels" a slight bit "slower" involving everything...

- UI STATION WINDOW-MEMORY/ORIENTATION ERROR: "MARKET DELIVERIES" window ALWAYS CLOSES: For some reason, of all windows to be "remembered to be open" when re-docking to a familiar station (i.e. Corp Headquarters), the Market Deliveries window ALWAYS is closed upon loggin in/docking. This means you have to keep finding that option and opening it. Behavioral question to look into: Why just "Market Deliveries" not being remembered to be open, yet everything else is remembered as is?

- AUDIO ADJUSTMENT: STARGATE AND STATION EXTERIOR SOUND IMBALANCE: There are some "vocal/indecipherable talking" comm sounds that are WAY louder than anything else when exiting/approaching stations and stargates. This occurs when all volume settings for Stations, Stargates, and even the general "World" sound settings are set to normal/default settings. The volume for those com sounds needs to be taken down a decibel or two.

- AUDIO BUG: "BOOM": At highly random moments while docked in a station, going about business, etc, suddenly, out of nowhere, the "BOOM" sound effect normally heard when logging into a docked station (or when session switching from out in space to docking in space dock) will randomly just "go off". Completely unreplicatable, so far. It "just happens" when it wants to.

- GRAPHICS: CLOAKING EFFECT: There seems to be some frames missing in the (de)cloaking effect, depending on how far away your viewing your ship scale-wise, or how much is going on in your screen. This has noticably increased in occurence since the "upgrade".


EXISTING ISSUES STILL PRESENT SINCE "BEFORE MOSAIC":

- "DRAG/DROP" CORPORATE SELLING MALFUNCTION: "Drag items to add to sale" drag/drop selling STILL does NOT function when attempting to drag items to sell from a corporate hangar into the selling window. Only way to sell multiple items is to select them all, then sell, or right-click and select "sell" to force the client to add that item into existing open selling window. This has been an unresolved (but filed and acknowledged) "issue" since the roll-out of the new selling items window UI implementation back in 2014. Functionality was promised almost a year ago, and has yet to really be addressed openly, just amongst feedback, petition and tickets. It's time to make that "Drag and drop" we see in the selling window actually function as it instructs us to do: "drag and drop to add items to sell". Crazy idea, I know...

- "NEW/UNREAD" MAIL BUG: Oddly and unexpectedly unreproducible, old/previously read mail will randomly be marked "unread" as far back as a few random mails from 2013, even. Unexpected, this was.

- UI TRANSPARENCY/OPACITY CONFLICT BUG (CHANGE?): RIGHT-CLICK MENUS OPACITY: Every "right-click" subcontext menu is translucent, even when no translucency/window blur options enabled and transparency=0 (OFF). For example: When using the "Carbon" theme with NO "window blur" and "Translucency" set to "0", the high contrast white text of anything "underneath" any newly right-click-created menu shows through, making legibility of the top-most menu difficult to read under certain circumstances. This also follows no consistent pattern with "tool-tip/pop-up" windows, but those, too, are translucent when dealing with corp items or out in space, hovering over mods in HUD. Please re-check force-option behavior (possibly) in any code changes to make sure all context and sub-context menus (seemingly only occuring in right-click created menus and "tooltip" created windows of textual information) adhere equally to the designated terms of display opacity behavior of other windows which obey user-set parameters under the "Theme" settings (within "General Settings" ESC menu). This new behavior has only begun occuring "noticably"/visually sometime after April 5 (approximately).



Win7Pro64-bit

Scanning and Probing with this new map is absolutely the worst crap i've ever seen.. Who tested this and signed off on it? Who was like, "Yep this is far superior to the product we currently have, LETS RELEASE!" It's freaking garbage and they should be fired. FIx this crap.. It makes scanning and probing not fun or useable.

This is a real issue. I've noted it for the past couple of weeks prior to the new upgrade, but seems worse now. This is very unnerving when undocking with my Viator loaded - and I am waiting to be able to insta-warp to bookmark. Needs to be fixed please.

That's just silly.. If corps are worried about leaking important information through titles, make them non-obvious =P

I like the skins! But are some bugs still with missing skins in preview mode of ships and such.... Some frigates are realy too expensive, i dont mind the 'old' ones keep this high price since they are low price in-game anyway because of the old prices. But all new frigate skins should realy not cost more than 1500~ aurum or something....

Battleships and up you cant realy complaint, the prices are not much higher than when they were single-use/run bpc copy's and even some cruisers are kinda good price in the NES.

I hope CCP can make some good money on this and that people like it as much as me, and that we will have new skinns 3-5 times a year =)

OMG! the new map sucks when you are scanning!

- Inertia is killing me. The old map was crisp when zooming/panning. Not sure what's the gain with this...maybe it look cool. But then again, it makes using the map a PITA.
- The cursor seems to always be a circle. I am not sure which part of it use to actually point to something.
- The probes show always as an icon cluttering the display even when I am handling them all together as one.
- There is no "you are here" label or pointer like in the old one. Good luck finding yourself in it. ... Oh Wait! The cross-hairs is your ship! Make it more obvious!! Change color/icon. The cross-hair is too similar to probes/planets/gates.
- There's multiple display issues. You launch probes, the cube with the arrows shows up, but no bubbles for the probes so no indication of the range/size of them. No way to change the range/size from the map.
- When the bubbles do show up resizing them is not as easy as before. It's hard to grab the edge to resize them.
- You probe a sig, the "dot" is not displayed.
- Sometimes the cube shows up in the middle of the system while the actual bubbles show up somewhere else.
- Why is there no sun in WH space???
- Lines connecting gates maybe cool (again) but they could be a lot more subtle. They really confuse and clutter things.
- Open the map (I'm in a WH). Hit the "focus current location" control, everything disapears.

I've worked in software for many years and I can tell when something has not even been used by the developer. C'mon CCP you can do better.

Unfortunately this thing will stay off for now. Cry

when i was a little kid and john glenn hadn't done his three orbits yet, i had gotten into hamm radio

when you get things going to begin with you have one heck of a lot of information, or noise. or static as its called since you are effectively listening to every kind of noise there is

one of the very first circuits learned to use that noise is something called a filter

band pass and multi pass filtering is like circa 1900 technologies if you allow the twinkle in tesla's eye reflected out of marconi's "work"

but unfortunately we in the new eden system are too stoopids to survive with such an idea feasible

these gloruious and majestic vistas...that one can ONLY find in false color imagery enhanced specks super magnified from shots out of hubble are Not Visible

toggle NEBULAS

a simple swicth to CLEAN UP THAT SIGNAL CREWMAN so that we could actually NOT HAVE TO LOOK IN ONE DIRECTION to see on grid targets is missing...we cant decide to tell our input sensors to only use a selected part of the spectrum to take power and activate our imaging implants....we HAVE TO LOOK at what is normally invisible perpetually...sigh...because we forgot a cub scout handbook radio badge circuit to filter our noise into usable data

toggle
toggle
toggle

and with all of that we now have a map...that is about as handy as trying to use an atlas in the cab of a semi in a snowstorm on the east side of wolf creek pass...way up on the great divide...so i suppose that is the dividing line...what part of imaging electronics do we have to rip out of these sleeper ships to find enough shreds of information to try and be as smart as a fifth grader...

i mean has it been unnoticed or unmentioned the added time in warp animations

always being swung to some new view when you were desperately watching behind you maybe not to get away but get through the gate first

now we try to scan in this three dee environment and even more serious issues with extraneous data crop up...surprise surprise surprise...



back-handedly , lol, kudos to you... ccp the map is exquisite and well on its way but far to go keep up the excellent work

the likelihood of more options being installed in a more timely fashion is carrying sway and progressing so its unlikely these ideas will go unheeded even if they are sooner or later defended and justified as the way its going to be no matter


but please can we stop seeing the endless background that is always the same...my monitors old and its burning in hehheh

and ...The circle cursor.... just no. Seriously. NO. .ibid
>/o..

EDIT::
OMG YOU REPLACED A TUTORIAL THAT COULD BE TURNED OFF EVEN IF YOU HAD TO START THE GAME FIRST...??useless for those who dont need it...???WITH A TUTORIAL REPLACEMENT THAT CANNOT BE TURNED OFF AT ALL AND OPENS EVERYTIME YOU TRANSITION LOL


if are am not a fumbduck please am are hand fumbduck their sign

Terrible lag and/or no response at all to double clicks in space trying to manual pilot your ship. Effects game mechanics like decloaking. In many cases using "approach, orbit, keep at range" -stuff is too clumsy, I need to manually direct my ship, and when it doesn't do what I want it to, it just.... argh.

It's kinda obvious to me seeing the interface changes from the last 6 months that almost nobody from CCP is actually PLAYING the game.

They make something, then the reaction of everyone... "UUUU, Shiny !" and that's it.
It's like nobody bothers to try how it feels when trying to actually do things in real-time, when people are looking to shoot you, or you're in a hurry to resolve something like your life depends on it.

New map = AWFUL.
It was awful, it's still awful. Blurry mess.

If this gets deployed and forced to everyone with the old one removed I feel a great disturbance in the force will come...

Seriously who ever came up with the idea of the new scanning, it's slow the cursor is laggy, There's a tendency to lose the object ie sigal is all the mush, did I mention laggy? Who ever was doing scanning you only had one job!
