EVE Information Portal

This puts is quite to the point.

- Though I don't believe we will get the old voice back, maybe someone can take out some of the highs and squeakiness. Warping a fleet and having multiple toons in that fleet sounds like someone is constantly nagging at me.

- The separate skill queue had its foundation in simplicity and functionality, all of which is gone now. Further more, by just checking a few simple numbers, everything is buffered and the frame rate drops down to 1-2, every time. Complexity for complexities sake - over function - never. There should be data available of previous character sheet usage vs skill queue usage and I bet a Plex that the difference was more then 10%/90%, where cpu load was the opposite, like 90%/10%.

Not sure why you need 'add to skill queue' when you can just drag it down... not a dominant issue, but it demonstrates how cluttered and over designed tool tips have become. Drag and drop + save button or separate window and 'add' function.

Not being able to see the progress of partially trained skills (and the SP) is a big miss, one icon and a mouse over count down is doing none a favor.

- Another issue I have is (and which has been brought up before release - see JonnyPew), that as an Omega I still see all items marked yellow for Alpha clones. Every time I open a container, wreck or inventory, everything looks like I am committing a criminal act. This is not acceptable. If you get use to ignore the yellow warning edges and have your safety set to yellow or red, you will by accident commit 'crimes' and become suspect or worse. I waited till the first post expansion patch to see if it got addressed, but no - FIX IT NAO!

- One more thing I would like to see (and will mention in the specified thread) is, that I would like to see a check box for the new fleet boost animations. For certain characters or fleet role I want to seem them (need to), but under normal conditions they just mess up and clutter everything, especially if you use (like most I guess) multiple screens. And though they look quite ok from farther away, just moderately zoomed in, they become very unattractive (blurred, rough pixels) and disturb the beautiful view of deep space ,)
Now, even if we won´t get a specific on/off option, I think this can be remedied by speeding up the animation and adding more transparency, maybe eve a bit contrast so it won't blur so much, but is rather distinct but 'thinner' if that makes any sense.

-An issues, which probably is now passé, was/is the e-mail verification/authentication. This was just plain stupid. As many mentioned before, some e-mail addresses were unused, lost or with missing passwords. This should have been considered before pushing the new system live.
And yes, I myself saw the notification early and checked before the release. My e-mails were verified (and payment accounts and credit card etc ...) which should have been enough. But I was forced to do it again... and even though everything was verified in the account settings before, I could not log in to one of my old email accounts for the authentication rubbish, wrong password, even though I had it written down, so I assumed the e-mail account was removed and lost.
In the end I managed, after a lot of tries, to access it again and verify my eve account... And the last mail I had in the mailbox was from my eve registration °°


Cheers o7

PS: As I mentioned during another release, usually everything not complained about is fine, and I love the new explosions, though there seems to be some audio stutter. So don't feel all bashed.

What have you done to Aura? She sounds generic and human now. The old one was way better! Bring it back!

What.....?

They must hate money because I rather set mine on fire than give it to ccp now.

After nearly 10 years feel really let down with the way they treat people but sure they are backed up by those drone players who defend them at everything.

Please redo Aura's voice. We do not necessarily require the old one back, but we need a voice that sounds professional, clear, smooth and soothing - our only friend in galaxy full of predators. The current implementation is harsh, fast, unclear and extremely impersonal. The sound is also oddly choppy. It's as if some CCP employee recorded his sister using a webcam.

Launcher might need more testing with multiple accounts. I'm finding it loses all saved accounts except one overnight.

At least as I add them back in it is not asking me to validate them all again. I did them all the night before the patch, then had to do them all again the morning of the patch. Preparation in advance didn't actually affect anything despite the community service announcement.

Same, turned it all off as well (same as EVERYONE else I know in the game btw). And I agree that the new Character page is a total over designed pain in the ass that does not work.

But you do manage to put in some long, long hours of endless complaining on the forums, regardless.

Devs, do you even care if we stay? What did we do to inspire you so thoroughly to detest us as your playerbase? Are you so arrogant as to think your success doesn't hinge on how many people play? I am baffled and confused regarding this "expansion", and your attitudes toward us as your players and the heart of your company. You took away all that we related to for a decade or more and then flippantly act like teenagers toward our reaction. If you no longer want us to play, say so clearly and stop with the subtle hints.

OK, we don't know each other.
For the record:

I like the new warp tunnel, the new map, the new scanner and as far as I could see yesterday the new character sheet is also an improvement. It's much clearer to see which skills you already have and which ones are missing.
Also, bragging with the sum of all ranks per category was not possible before. That alone entertained us few vets for awhile. :-D
And EVE definitely needs LESS windows that can be independently resized, clutter the screen and randomly stack/resize with other windows if your mouse actions are a bit clumsy.

(still, Aura... :-/)
