You can't even type in complete sentences and you think a company who created a successful MMO fails? Interesting.

Te voy a contestar en mi idioma los iconos son muy malos, se nota que no eres pvp, eres un carebear?

En situaciones de combate es muy confuso no sabes si es una fragata o un crucero, no sabes si es una bc, una sentry, como puedes hacer enfrentamientos si no estas seguro a lo que le vas a disparar, esto esta muy mal echo pero bueno dices que no puedo hacer oraciones completas, si no entiendes lo que acabo de escribir usa el traductor

No not a carebear, see link in my Sig.

Frigates and cruisers aren't that hard to tell apart but I will conceed that cruisers and battleships are .

That said the only reason everything being an x on the screen wasn't confusing was because we have been looking at the damn things for literally years.

Yes it's jarring and confusing but in all seriousness we will be used to them in a week or two.


Edit: point taken, and I'll apologize... And keep the cookie.

I might have an opinion, but at 90% UI scaling I can't even see the damn icons.

Although I have been poking fun at everyone, I do agree this is an issue and may be the main cause of most of these whine threads.

They look great at 100% but are not that legible at 90% and fuzzy at the larger scaling sizes.

I actually like the new icons. Call me crazy, but they actually make sense. And to all the people saying they look like a 5 year old drew them, it beats the simple boxes, triangles, brackets, and x's that were there before.

Change, its going to happen whether you like it or not, especially in a game that's 10 years old.

I am finding them confusing, but have faith my old person brain can adapt, at least reasonable soon, only just getting to grips with the new sidebar icon changes.

Agreed, here's the acknowledgenent anyway
CCP Surge wrote:

The 90% scaling problem is engine-level. Specifically our UI renderer doesn't support any texture filtering or anti-aliasing, which makes any non-100% scale texture look pretty bad across the UI. It's particularly blatant when scaling single-pixel wide strokes as in the new icons.

And unfortunately re-writing the UI renderer, or bolting on some AA tech is just an item that hasn't made it to the top of the engine team's priority list. But we're aware of the issue.

In the end we support "UI scaling" functionality to some extent, but don't have the proper tech in place to make the experience feel great at anything other than 100% at the moment.

I'm also curious to hear more from, and maybe wasn't aware of how many users played with a 90% downscaled UI (as opposed to scaling up for accessibility reasons.) What are your reasons for doing so?

The new ship icons are terrible, the others I can live with but I mean come on, some of the ship icons (astereo) used to represent something else. What was the reason for this? MORE AWESOME CONTENT? Sorry, that was rude. But come one, the old icons for ships were perfect.

Well, im going to blame this thread reaching page 2 on Barstorlode being overworked recently. Much respect for the solo Patch day defense.



Looking at you Ezwal... I expected this kind of behavior from LackOfBackup, but not you. FOR SHAME.
