Your stuff, quick, give it to me before others arrive!

When a person is insane, as you clearly are, do you know that you're insane? Maybe you're just sitting around, reading 'Guns and Ammo', masturbating in your own faeces...do you just stop and go, 'Wow! It is amazing how f*cking crazy I really am!'?

I dont want to have stuffs. If icons ruin game then must not have anything fun...

ps: it would be way more helpful if you could post a screenshot of the new icons and stuff, and maybe write any sort of explanation on it, then blah blah quit blah.

You think I havent? walls of text have been written. CCP told us all to go fck ourselves. Okay.

I tried getting used to new icons, I really did. But they are just so terrible and amateurish, and completely break established themes.

You know, when people play for 10+ years, and the UI elements get ingrained into their minds... Its not so easy to let it go. For example, when they changed rats from red crosses to these triangle things... I simply stopped farming sleepers. Honestly, its simply that uncomfortable for me to tell cruisers from battleships apart.

Same with PvP and other icons. Before, a frig was easy to tell on the grid. Now, it all looks like fcking triangles. Well, core of the game is older veterans like me - we like our things the way they were, more or less. A rat is a red cross, a ship is a bracket, etc. You can play with more modern variations of the icons, but leave the common theme alone!

And now these same icons start appearing on scanning, my last refuge of normal, minimalist ergonomical design.

Point i am trying to make is, this is no longer the game I fell in love with 10 years ago. it looks different, it feels different, and it is time to move on.

I love my vintage motorcycles but same time things change so I like the new bike as well. I am not going to hate something because something small is no longer is as good, doesnt mean it is. CCPs goal is to make things better for new players which is what is needed. The new icons have more and instant information as you get used to it. If combat gets more complex, that will be useful.

Well well well... an Icon thread!


Prepare yourself LS, for the hypnotic PLATYPUS DANCE!





Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

I've gotten to like the new icons, I can tell a frig from a destroyer now, and a cruiser from a bc.

Sorry to see you go, but ... understandable.

I"ve got some friends who have played longer than me who have hit their "last straw" moment like you seem to have.

May you find something enjoyable to play.

Well yeah, they did suck at first, but then they tweaked them so that they were easier to see. For a moment I thought someone committed thread necroism and brought up some old thread... hehe. Wow, they are so much of a problem for some people still? Sounds more like just an excuse.

There once was a Spirit from Nantucket
who once told CCP to go F*** it
she left in a huff
can I have your stuff?
Her character ,she just shucked it.

To buck the popular trend, I began to Rage Start instead of Rage Quit.

...and every time I get another piece of Carbon, I know exactly what CCP is getting this Christmas.

Ragequits are red, bannings are blue, if I could just have your stuff, you wouldn't seem such a n00b.
