EVE Information Portal

Love the new Aura voice. Not as good as the very first Aura voice, but better than the one we've had the last few years.

there is no way to tell from the structure browser what bonuses you get from the rigs on the engineering complexes. There are numerous rigs with many different bonuses - there should be some way to tell with actually having to go to each and every structure how the ec's are configured.

Alphas Need just a little more wiggle room when it comes to making money. Most I can make is 4m isk/hour mining in a venture. It makes dreams of ever buying a 1.2billion isk plex hopeless. I figured Id play for free...not play for free til I die.

Ok, so.

Its clear that you just want us to accept the character sheet redesign, even though its harder to perform the most basic function of finding a skill category due to a non alphabetical arbitrary sorting... Followed up with a grid design for skills that there is barely any room to expand.

Its clear that you insist on wasting large amounts of space with emptiness between grid items that would have been easier to use and more space economical in vertical alphabetically sorted lists like they used to be (not to mention any sane design for almost any data presentation on the world).

You want change because its different, not because its better. In fact, you seem worryingly satisfied that your new design is actually terrible as though mindlessly achieving objectives dictated from a boardroom from people who dont play the game and are apparently clueless, is more important than delivering good iteration.

But there are at least 2 things that will have to be fixed.

1) I never again want to see my real time 3d rendered portrait again. It looks like it was rendered on a playstation 2.

2) The window must remember the horizontal width i gave it. The window is stackable, and should remain so, but it has to stop overriding other windows widths if they are open at the same time as it.

Obviously, id rather a redesign to have alphabetically ordered lists in vertical panes, but i think that kind of advanced design work is a little out of CCPs league.

Its staggering how much better the old character sheet served information with no fuss and with such an effective use of space.

Its staggering how im here reminiscing over a basic information window in a game.

Only CCP can take something so, normal, and replace it with something so wacky.

I guess you dont appreciate the little things you have until CCP takes a huge dump on them, over and over again.




I dont really care about the new aura voice, it doesnt sound as good, but whatever. The character sheet is a minor thing in the grand scheme of things. But the fact that this is the best CCP can come up with for such a simple feature (not to mention the inventory, map, dscan, camera etc), really makes me think that eve not really in safe hands.

Thanks bro, you're an angel. Where's the cookie in your post?

I do also not like the new Aura.
I want to explain why on the Command warping.

The new Aura speaks quicker, with a happiness in her tone. If your adrenaline pounds to your veins and you just ran from a lost battle, the least you want to hear is a voice that is happy about that you are just warping, maybe just saved your clone.
So every time you are not happy, your Aura kicks you in the ass. Not a good ally.

I think the idea that a voice that expresses happiness might be inviting for a new capsuleer to do what has to be done. But eve world is not happy, fluffy unicorns in space. you need a voice to ancor you on the experience you just had. get you down, prepare you.
This is best done with a quiet, neutral, meditating voice. The old Aura had this qualities in my opinion.

When you warped out of battle and your Adranilne pounds through your veins, Aura told you in a quiet voice that all is good and you can focus on your next step. It fitted to your action indipendant on your mood or purpose.

Please go back to your Aura design board, and check your options. I do not think all has to be remade. Only those places where emotions play a big part.

Thank you for the efforts. I like the general direction the tech decvelops into. Keep it going.

Nothing is wrong with being helpful, but there's being helpful and then there's holding someone's hand. To me this is (still) a dark gritty sandbox where you should forge your own path and discover the mysteries on your own (or with your friends). It has nothing to do with elitism.

Perhaps i was a bit blunt, but what i mean is 'think outside of the box' and don't expect this to be some 'railroad' game where you hop on the train and follow it till you can PLEX every month and flash purple fits. God forbid it ever turns into one..




Who are you, or anyone, to judge that what i suggested is not helpful?
Did you judge me because i don't sugarcoat things like you do?

I'm all for original Aura. Have nothing against emotional voice character, but even original Aura were doing it better.

Just a reminder - ready to resub - waiting for the Aura fix.
Any feedback, CCP?

New (terribad) Aura is here to stay
Devs interest in player feedback regarding this - Nil


One Dev summed up CCP's respect for its loyal (paying) player base with one word - NOPE - Nothing more to be said..
