Today's patch fixed inconsistencies within the new icons. That is fair, it means we now can judge the product addition for how it really was meant to be, right?
*looks at the topic*
Do you want another 70 pages of the same repetitions all over again?

What do you mostly do in eve and do you play with 100% scaling? How much have you relied on the "type" column before and what are your tagging options for player ships?

What makes this even more surreal is their notion that they want to give us more space to look at our ship. But wait, I mistook that. Their idea was to have more see-through for less legibility so that we can see more of the skybox and ship in blurred transparency... :c

I don't have a large screen. In fact, I have a very small screen. I still refuse to go down to 90% because the base font is an atrocity, has broken spacing, and whatnot. Trying to increase font size via the options is an exercise in futility. It just looks more broken in comparison to the rest of the UI.

Well, as I mentioned before... it took them 4 to 5 months last time to fix something of this magnitude. If the new word is "faster" for updates, then maybe their reactions will be faster too... so maybe 2 months?

I also urge CCP to not misunderstand the "insignificant" drop in user statistics.
There are still many of us who are in the game despite the struggle, because of various other reasons. But the more you're cutting at the game, the thinner this bond will become, until it eventually fades and people break away completely. And your playerbase IS declining, the online statistics don't lie and a more detailed picture from the start of 2014 paints this even clearer.
I don't even want to go into the "how many players are actually playing the game" thing. There is a significant number of people who only log in to chat.

So in reality, if we had a way to see who is actually playing the game and not just sitting in station chatting, or having eve idle in the background...
... actually, I don't even want to know.

so a week of complaints and you are still forcing us to use this crap?

EDIT: I really should have said trying to force us to use it, because in my case, i refuse to get migraines, eye strain and whatever else, due to some designer who doesnt play the game thinking he knows what is best.

11 days and first account will have gone.

"Redone Overview Icons: Brackets and overview indicators are more intuitive and uniform."

Funny stuff. They are neither uniform nor intuitive. Of course "clusterfu-k," probably wouldnt pass the censors.

Naah...it's not a big issue that you can't log. If you log you will see the same ugly icons so there is no point log.

TIL that even if you explicitly cancel your sub, CCP still spams your mailbox with notifications that your accounts are about to expire. Can someone recommend replacement game? Because CCP seems to be keen on doing Incarna v2.
Also, silently ignoring all feedback and then patching the remaining old icons is just adding insult to injury.

patch is an insult

prolly you have a good fun making idiots out of us.. for our own money..

maybe you need it?
new "0ld" icons alternative concept ))

Мало что понял ))

Fix this!!

I agree here, 6 months with the new sidebar, guess what CCP, I STILL find them confusing.
The thing is, they look ok, when they are at their full size(and waste screen real estate)
When I shrink them down to get more screen real estate to use, they become very hard to tell apart.
The old neocom icons were MUCH better for this, because color variations are easy to tell apart no matter what size



On the new icons, I was originally all for the change, because for example, lets say I run into a group of ships, a mixture of T1 cruisers, T2 cruisers, and battlecruisers, the old + and (cube) icons made them all cruiser icons, and I have to sort the names/type to tell them apart, for target priorities.

So I liked the idea of making this simpler, and was happy with icon changes..
Then I used them for a few days..
And I have to say, no, this is not an improvement, this system is just flawed:
It's too much about aesthetics, and too little about functionality.

I was hoping for something like:

or perhaps this one:

The big difference between these and what you went with:
Simple geometric shapes, are easy to tell apart at a glance
Artistic depictions, are NOT
Especially when they are made small(such as to get more screen real estate, or for people that don't have good eyesight), simple geometric shapes remain easy to tell apart.
Artistic depictions, get WORSE.

I know CCP, that it's painful when people say your idea is just bad and they want it gone, but please, for the sake of making the game better, shelve your pride, and FIX THIS.



Last but not least, please switch to the old patch schedule, or at least add delays to this one.
I for one, want new content when it's good and ready, not just as soon as possible.


Hoping someone there still cares,
