Its ok. When CCP deliver Fozzie Sov with the same quality and effort... he wont have any sov.

Cos if they cant even deliver and get the UI workable... how are we to trust them to fix the broken POS and Sov mechanics?

And small subnote... The 90% scaling usage came from CCP changing the font ages back and not allowing us to use a different size or edit it. So they added in scaling to "address" that problem.

And now... here we are. With a broken UI engine that wont scale or do AA.

Doesnt inspire confidence.

Rio Bravo, I like you. You are persistent in advocating your positions, and blunt.

Because of your persistence in saying the new icons looked good, I logged into the game at work and discovered the new icons were clear, were easy to identify, and didn't give me headaches.

I discovered the sun icon had little dots around it. I had never seen those. I had never seen any of the details on the new icons.

My monitor at work is a 24 inch Dell, my gaming screen at home is a 27 inch Crossover. Both are two years old. Each renders the game beautifully, except for the new icons, which are displayed quite differently. I spent 45 minutes trying different resolutions, and the best I could get on my 27 inch Crossover was four faint dots around the sun icon. I am not a programing/IT person, and as this is my first MMO I do not have the experience with other games to even guess why this is happening.

The Crossover is a better screen, produces a crisper picture then the Dell at work, why it does such a poor job of rendering the new icons I have no idea. It should produce a better picture than the Dell. It produces a better picture for everything BUT the new icons.

Perhaps this info will help.

Frankly Rio Bravo, I thought initially you were advocating your position without justification. I was wrong.

I still get headaches. I have cancelled my subscriptions. I had thought to resub should this issue ever be sorted out......until I read the devblog........

Someone needs to give CCP Surge a handbook on customer service.

We are talking about disposable income, entertainment dollars (in my case). I do not have to spend my game time, play time, or money on EVE. I choose to.

To paraphrase: But in New Eden space is merciless, and change is ever-present.

I agree, and so is real life. After reading this blog, I will not be back, period.

Unlike many, I will not leave my stuff in my hangar. I intend to get blown up a few more times, sell the remainder, take my isk to Amarr, and buy hulls and give them away. My annual subscription does not end until next year, but I will be gone by mid-July.

LOL you can really see the "Decoy's" ... Their the 1's defending all ccp moves... smells like they are trying to put a different spin on reality

Dude, the Dev blog said they are working on a 90% scaling fix and there are plans to make the icons set up customizable. What are you still crying about?

"Mea culpa to those affected. Making the icons at least usable at 90% scaling is one of our top priorities for improvement, along with others outlined below."

-CCP Surge

"Improve NPC and player ship distinction

We agree with much of the feedback that the subtle interior fill to indicate NPCs is simply not drastic enough, so we’re looking at other ways to make NPC brackets more clearly identifiable compared to player-controlled ships.
Improve drone distinction

Another common feedback was the drone icons were still too complex and easily confused with ships. We’re also looking at ways to make drones on grid easier to separate from ships at a glance.
Add icons to overview customization

We’ve heard the most benefit from the new icons was gained by those with properly managed overview setups. We’re looking to add an icon column to the customization window, to make it super simple to understand which items you want the tab to display and how. This will also double as an in-client legend and visual guide to learning the new icons faster."

Hope that helps you a little bit...could have read it yourself with out me turning the pages for you. Am I a fanboi or troll because I actually read the stuff I post about? Or you mad bro, because I keep throwing water on the fiery hate-fest?

They are working on it...

Because annoncement is not yet follow by acts...to be continued...

Because there is a "feature" on the live server that in its current state clearly belongs on the test server.
That what sissi is for...testing unfinished, half baked stuff.

I have removed a blatant trolling post and one quoting it.

Go ahead, mock the ones that are leaving over Icongate. Call us touchy, stubborn, non-evolving knuckle draggers the game would be better without since we're vision impaired, color blind, stuck with monitors that are sub-par, and won't keep drinking the Kool-Aid.

Then when something 'little' or big comes out that is a make or break for you, get used to it, sukk it up, and grow up. The same message we're getting as some leave for better customer service skies.

By that time however, you might be a little lonely in your howls and tear offerings, as there might not be as many to care either way.

Call it sudden rage (Incarna style) or a slow burn. The numbers don't play favorites. Checking over at Eve-Offline, and watching the average logged in account numbers (slowly I will admit) sink further down shows in simple digits, there is a growing problem that is not being repaired. Head in the sand actions won't fix that. Neither will more shiny SKINs to pick from.

No Vampire the Masquerade game. Dust not doing what was hoped. Eve Online numbers dripping away.

CCP better hope there's enough people willing to spring for the high end system and hardware for their VR game. Floating a business budget of Plex and Aurum purchase will only go so far. Best of luck with that.

I'll check now and again, see if the game is once again playable without agony. Otherwise, meh. I have other places to throw the entertainment dollar, as I've stated before. Have your sandbox, it needs scooping as it smells.

If it was my game, I think id rather have dead end content that wasnt used than lose subscribers. Content doesnt generate ££££££, subscribers do.
