EVE Information Portal

You are in the wrong place for that. CCP will ignore the complaints for several days, then ask you to get used to not being able to read the skill window, and having no idea how many SP are invested in a skill. Not to mention the busy and jumbled presentation.

Then, in 3 months time when there are only a couple of people still complaining about it, they will say that apart from these 2 guys everyone else loves not being able to read their skill page, and having less information than they used to have.

CCP are a joke.

Its always the little things like this, that should be common sense, that makes me the maddest.

Every little papercut, every little change that replaces a working feature with something that looks nice but doesnt do as good a job, and that no one asked for;

The new inventory
The new camera
The new map
The new d-scan
The docking animation etc.

,,,makes me actually glad to know that EVE is dying.

Im beyond telling CCP that their obviously stupid design ideas should be changed. Keep them. Keep the game. I have no faith that there is any competent direction left at CCP.

RIP.

+1 New Voice is bad Old Voice is good.

How about giving us access to put our own voicepacks in?

But I had the same request with the icon's and we're stuck with them so we're probably stuck with this uninspired voice pack as well. #MakeCCPGreatAgain

Can't stand the "WERP Drive Active" sound.

It's "WARP" Not "WERP"!

Don't like character sheet portrait banner = mimimize it
Don't like new Aura voice = Turn sound down...

whats next?

Don't like new UI = disable it?
Don't like new probe scanner = don't use it?
Don't like new mechanics = don't play?

This is a total cop-out.


If the new aura voice is how new players are expected to be introduced into the game, I feel the bad for them. Eve is meant to be ruthless and cold... the new voice is so sprightly and happy.. not in line with the game AT ALL!

If it ain't broke, don't fix it... and if you are going to revamp something... make it BETTER.. .not WORSE.

My initial impression is mostly negative.

I don't see much change I was hoping would happen some day - ie citadels/outposts becoming interactive on a more deeper and personal level or improvements to PI. There is a suggestion about that somewhere in my posting history.

Alpha clone skill sets are extremely limiting and halving skill training speed just adds insult to the injury. The usual complaint of new players was not being able to get into relevant ships faster and how exclusion from many important skills while also getting the skills twice as slow should help retaining them i really don't know.
At least i am glad to have had a 3 weeks headstart for my alpha character.

Which brings me to the character sheet. It's ****. Terrible. Not once since I started playing in 2006 have I thought CCP went full ******: not when you failed Incarna(you simply don't have the right talent), not when you were discussing gold ammo(you were being really stupid back then, though), not when you messed up the fitting screen(because it still was and is to this day perfectly usable).
But this piece of **** you created is going full ****** at cosmic speeds. It's pretty funny too, because the fitting screen doesn't even show all the apparel the character wears, so people can't see what their character looks like to other players and will probably stop caring at some point, directly cutting into your NEX store profits.

Instead of letting your UI experts messing up perfectly fine interfaces, it would have been a really good idea to force them to create a better drone interface so we can actually have buttons for attack, return, orbit etc.
When I was actually playing the game before, it was in the evenings before sleep, usually relaxing and drinking a cup of tea, and in such a setting being able to comfortably use a mouse for all relevant interactions would have been great.

Playing as an alpha clone I also realized that you most probably won't be getting money nor PLEX from me anymore.
I became quite a carebear after my initial pvp experiences simply due to the fact that earning ISK was and is still boring, so over the years instead of being bored even more sitting somewhere on a gate or flying around for 2 hours for 5 minutes of action I became quite content as a solo player doing 2-3 missions every 3-4 days. And those are pretty much the same from level 1 to level 4.
Everything else is either more fun as an actual Excel sheet(like PI), EFT graph or requires of one to be on the far side of the autist spectrum(scan spam in wormholes), so high sec without fancy ships it is. All completely free with the new shiny and really pretty explosions from what i can tell by looking at the NPC frigates going boom in LvL1's.

TL;DR: everything is meh to awful other than explosions. Those are pretty nice.

In short

-New Voice is terrible, why change something that wasn't broken?

-New Character sheet is terrible and stupidly complicated to use, why change something that wasn't broken?

-New Explosions are nice, but they are so big I feel like my ship should go boom with it every time I see one happen. Maybe they are too big?

-Can't play with my friends tonight because half of them aren't getting their verification mails.

-The good? Ehhh still looking, will let you know if I find something.

Did CCP ever tried to explain why they changed good voice with obviously bad one?

and what hapen with old voice? Why can't continue using it?

Is that official version and being said somewhere? Could you, please, provide a link?

It IS important to note that new Aura sounds much better from the bit of dabbling I've done in the new NPE and youtube vids I've watched. She just speaks waaay too fast in the standard interactions like warp drive active and docking.
