EVE Information Portal

Chiming in to add my voice to these complaints:

• Can not set destination to citadel from market window, or orders panel in wallet (this means that to visit stations with my active orders I have to set destination to the system, then *gasp* manually activate docking with the citadel)
• Please give us the option to disable docking & undocking animations
• Docking animation appears to block loading of the market while docking with citadels (or else citadel markets have always been slow and I just never noticed)

I can't find any way to disable the new in-space messages pertaining to ISK amounts added to bounty payout and ore mined with each laser cycle.

Need a button to turn off this annoying crap. I can see how much each rat is worth in their target info, and I know how much my lasers are going to yield before I start them. I can also see the bounty in the wallet when it's added. I can see the ore in my cargohold.

I really don't like useless information scrolling right in my face in the middle of the screen. Put in a button to turn it off, or if such a button already exists, tell me where to find this Easter egg setting.

I would like to discuss the impact to the new player base with the removal of the thrill of the hunt quest. I see where feedback from vet and active players would render this additional 10k skill towards the bottom of the eve importance but how much consideration was given for the new player base? Eve is a very challenging game with a large learning curve. Skills take time to train this 10k SP gave new players the ability to be very flexible in the first few weeks of the game. Being able to check out different skill loadouts and each day level up a few skills to level 1 or 2 is extremely helpful for a new player. I am sad to see this removed as it feels like eve is only focused on the vet and long term players that are active and voice their opinions. Eve forums and public events are filled with the vets of eve not the new player base that is learning the game.

My suggestion would be to add a limited number of objectives such as opportunities that force us new players out of our comfort zone and reward us with a SP bonus in the process. Another option would be to have different career missions reward players with different size skill injectors to assist with the early progression of the game.

My 3rd day playing I was killed twice by randoms while i was mining with no possible defense. The only thing that kept me interested was knowing that I could get a nice boost in skills for logging on and completing a task.

Well of course I wish a fellow capsuleer the best when they're thinking they need to embark on to new frontiers. You know, "Godspeed" doesn't quite cut it when you're close to an immortal scion yourself ;)
May they find greener pastures, I bear no ill will to them as long as they keep it civil.

In all honesty, they were a bandaid fix to a problem that CCP still hasn't properly addressed. Of course there will always be the ones who start out anew and the ones who are years ahead. CCP thought that adding up more skillpoints was a good idea, when in fact it wasn't. We've been there with 800.000 SP characters before, their skills based on the background choice you took at character creation. It was a nice sentiment, but was far too easily abused through alts. "The road to hell is paved with good intentions" as the saying goes.

The issue never has been the initial amount of skills, it was how to distribute them. There never is a gain in giving someone free stuff they can't even understand or appreciate.

There is no easy solution to it, although I find a strange appeal in buying skillpoint injectors. I view it like the chip-skills in Shadowrun. You already have a cybernetically augmented brain, downloading "experience" doesn't sound so wrong. Yet, experience alone does not equal success.

Personally I would say it has taken much too long for opportunities to be revised, the NPE is nowhere near close to good. The impact of a few skillpoints is insignificant compared to the problem a true new player faces in eve, which is deliberately withheld information and a lack of meaningful guidelines.

There are folks who believe, the natural selection of eve is throwing the player into the great mystery and see if they can figure it out. If they do, they're the 5% who are meant to play Eve. There is some merit in this theory, but only if your sole hurdle is your own mental agility. Regrettably the failure and inability of the system to provide you with said knowledge is a much bigger challenge in itself than the player's IQ. Say what you want about the pre-opportunity NPE's, but they at least where informative or immersive (depending which one you look at).

I also am experiencing this.

I agree entirely , please give us the option to turn off unnecessary information box's that only repeat info we already have.

Not sure if this will help, but click on the setting icon when wallet screen is open. There is an option to turn off notification of wallet changes.

EDIT: Nope...

I was skeptical about the 'daily rat' 10k SP reward. After some days I loved it. Would like to see it coming back.


Specific to Mac client/launcher: 1045952.1.988:

Before June 28th the first undock of the day was about 12 sec black screen delay. Now it is 20 sec black screen.

New: a delay of about 30 sec black screen at first login from champ selection. Not critical but nasty, as the locals see me online 30 sec before I even have the station environment appearing.

For both of theses extended delays, please give advice about what to do to make them shorter. Meanwhile I use all and every graphical setting at low or 'off'. What else can I try?

New: visibility of objects in space is not predictable. Sometimes I see my own drones, I see wrecks and other ships as icons in space. After any action, such as dscan activation or changing window focus from dscan to probe scan, the space objects disappear or re-appear by random. Sometimes they do, sometimes they do not. There seems to be no rule.

New: when using shortcut commands, such as approach or orbit, sometimes theses commands are accepted at first keypress, sometimes the command appears on screen only to disappear some seconds later and cancelling the command. It's not predictable if I have to press a shortcut key once, twice or three times to get the action done. Very nasty!

Thanks for a quick bug fix!

Hmm, this is the first I hear of this. I've reproduced the issue and created a defect for our programmers. Thanks!
Sorry, this setting is not in yet. Coming very soon!
Thank you!!
