What is there to respond to? - Simple - "We will roll back the old icons! - that is what they must say and do. Because these are the wishes of the 80% of the active ppl!

No one cares for their blogs!

Greed is Sin! Greed is not Good

So don't you realize that we can't DO anything with this sh...ity icons?! That's why the ppl are screaming! So if they want to DO something we can DO IT with the old PVP and PVE icons! That's it!

I'm very surprised noone from CCP came to post this link here:
http://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/bracket-icon-feedback/

edit: aww, space gator beat my to it by seconds :)

Ok we have had the icons for awhile now And they still SUX
I even read the dev blog from CCP Surge

But my opinion is still the same (see quote under)

Gah, CCP, you missed the train entirely, at least for my personal problems

I have no problem telling the icons apart when I focus on them.
These icons are so similar that i HAVE to focus on them, to tell them apart, which takes longer.
Your new icons are very pretty, AND make sence, unfortunately, this is a visual problem, that has nothing to do with preference or aesthetic.

Also that blog post has somewhat of an attitude to it.
I seriously feel that whoever wrote it was pissed off at the complaints and would have preferred to be allowed to tell us to **** ***

You may want to follow http://eve-offline.net/?server=tranquility or your own version of it
This tells me more of your customers opinion on this this change then everything in this thread
The peak users have dropped by about 2500 in the last two weeks?

If I'm counting that right, and that is NOT just a coincidence, it looks like AT LEAST 2500 people stopped playing, to send you a 35000$/month middle finger, for this change..
The true numbers have yet to appear.


And seriously CCP, I expected better from you than that blog post, it's just dripping with attitude.
Tasteless, at best.
EDIT: specifically, the meme near the top, reads like a big middle finger, you may want to consider removing that.
That last paragraph also just leaves me speachless

Read the blog and the last paragraph leaves me completely speechless but at least we are left in no doubt about the contempt most of the playerbase are held in so well done in making that part so clear.

I got to say that the dev blog is completely unreal. It is as tone deaf as saying $1000 space jeans were good for eve.

Its been said before and is worth repeating - the new icons do not "Improve player’s situational awareness and reaction times in combat" instead they make them worse since the icons are too small and too similar to each other. The icons also do not create a "clearer system for identifying different objects in space." Instead there is just informational overload with a needlessly cluttered screen that hides all of the useful information. As for "Unifying the iconography with the ship tree in ISIS" - who cares? Most players (at least those that I know) do not use ISIS and have removed it from their overviews (I stuck mine into a junk subcatagory).

The blog is clearly just a finger in the eye to the players. Its CCP telling us, we cooked you up a shitsandwhich; maybe with time we'll make it tastier but now you got to eat it for the indefinite future since there is no estimate as to when we are going to get it right, so just like Captains quarters, its likely going to sit around in its halfassed state indefinitely.

Sure CCP I get that you feel the need to turn simple things to complex ones. But since you seem to recognize that the icons are currently subpar, at least let us use the old ones until you get these new ones up to snuff.

That is my point m8. Because the Structure icons is quite similar to the old PVP ship icon and Entity icons is quite similar to old NPC ship icon. I want to use them for my PVP and PVE overview for all class ships!

I don't care for the sun,station,gates,betls icons etc etc

Perhaps they look better on whatever huge monitors CCP is using, but i'm playing on a 22" 1920x1080 monitor, when I get a blob of ships, I only see three things:

Small triangle: frigate
Big triangle: destroyer/cruiser/battecrusier
Arrow thing: battleship

And I need to focus and look carefully, to tell them apart.
Getting a quick guess of how many of each, is quite impossible.

It's all a blob of crap that looks the same
give me a group of ships, and there is no way I can tell how many of them are triangles with lines under them, and how many are fat triangles
It's all just a blob of fat triangles.

OMG, they're lapping up their own BS....

Given the length of time peeps have had to wait for this 'tell us want we didn't already know blog + dev's finger', I see the feedback from this thread has been put to good use... (NOT)..

Absolutely pitiful blog on Icongate issue...

I believe now ccp is on its own mission and frankly doesn't give a damn...

Question, a very simple one... Why would you want to give every single item in space its own icon??

The icons achieve quite the reverse of what your stated goal is....

Signing off from this thread, as little point talking to a wall..... Returning the finger

TLDR; "%#@$ you"



Ok then, %#@$ you too!
