EVE Information Portal

EXACTLY!

neocom looks fine here +1

rename is broken , modules ask the old name ,blueprints the same

chat blink needs a fix

add some space between ships-items tab and undock

pos runs fine

Space jello....LOL...awesome

Quoted mainly to agree....

it has been said before, honestly... how many experimental or prototype afterburners or microwarpdrives could there POSSIBLY be??? What, did everyone suddenly go on a propulsion invention kick? Is there something going on that we capsuleer's don't know that could be spawning YET ANOTHER type of propulsion unit? (would be cool if it did... but unlikely...)


Also... naming every one of the roughly DOZEN distinctly different missile types so that all basically fall into Vanilla, Strawberry, Chocolate or... Pistachio?... types, is kind of oversimplifying. Each of the name types was generally a very good match for the missile size and type. Now? not so much...


The point here is that EVE has stood out among the crowd of MMO's and MMO-wannabes for a VERY long time, and it was things like the names chosen for the different items, modules and ships that helped create the immersion that set EVE apart. Hell, I've even gone so far as to look up some of the names used to see why they were chosen, to find that there was actually some basis in fact behind the decision (I learned something from a video game, whodathunkit?) Now you're breaking your own fiction to simplify names in ways that just don't even make sense.

My two cents on the patch

New Neocom:

The blinking....Make it stop. I liked to have my wallet blink, and other things blink. They weren't annoying, they were informative. The chat channel blinking every damn second is so annoying that we have to turn off blinking for every single channel if we don't want to be distracted every 4 seconds.

Also, minimizing windows and then reopening them seems to be a bit more of a hassle than it should be. Previously we only had to look for the name of the window we minimized at the bottom of the screen, which was easy when we wanted to minimize a single chat channel and only have to open it up when it blinked or we felt the need to open it up. Now it seems like a bigger hassle to have to go through a menu to find it, especially when we can have a LOT of chat channels in that menu.

One last thing, Why can't we have our neocom on the bottom or top rather than on the left or right. I read a while back that it was technically very hard to do on the old neocom, so why can't we do it with the new one?

New Naming Scheme:

Makes items much harder to find, before you could search the market for Y-T, Quad, or any of the random missile names and immediate find the module / ammo you were looking for. Now there is a whole lot more work involved in actually finding the items you were looking for because you can no longer simply type: terror, and have only a small list of 10 or less things pop up. Now if you search "Trama" you get a list of EVERY SINGLE MISSILE which forces you to look.

For me it also seems to be easier to search for the missile I am looking for by just clicking on every single one and looking at it's icon to see if it is the right one. The old naming scheme was much better, it gave us diversity, and the easy of searching for the exact item we were searching for rather than just a blob of incomprehensible bull ****.


Also a comment on the localization readability:



That's fine, but next can you fix Japanese / Chinese Kanji so that it is more readable than it currently is. Currently you need to look really hard at them to be able to distinguish certain radicals in order to be able to determine what they mean. A clearer font would be much appreciated not only by me, but to anyone else who uses kanji for anything in-game.

New Neocom ingame browser bookmarks wont scroll.

CCP:

Remove chat button from Neocom
Remove the Cargo and Scanner buttons from Neocom, I have them open 99% of the time, and it just clutters the Neocom
Add the date back to Neocom. Just the date. Not the month, not the year, the date.
Change missile names back, that was just pure stupidity on your part. Possibly module names as well, I haven't really looked at them.
Shrink agent portraits in station services window. They now take up twice as much room as is needed.
Add option for minimize to bottom, as opposed to minimize to Neocom
Change shimmer effect on Neocom, revert to old blinking.


I also noticed a post about a "Unified Inventory" system. Take any hard drives and stacks of paper containing information or code on that feature, and put them in a shredder. Now.


New features may be new, but they are NOT better. Don't fix what isn't broken.

Possibly more to follow.

Chat button in neocom, make us able to remove it.

Also, when minimizing chat windows, make them go to the bottom of the screen like they used to.

Ok sorry ccp but I HATE the new neocom, confusing pain in the ass. You need an option where we can set it back to the old way cause going through 3 things to get to my corp management screen is a annoying as all hell. I was perfectly happy wiht the old system, many may like the new thing but i dont so PLEASE put an option to put it back to the old way.

Oh and the login screen flashing white (or in some ppls case black) is annoying as **** again. You gusy fixed it shortly after original crucible launch but now its back..... tell the kids to watch what code they are deleting next time


Ok done complaining, GJ btw on minimal issues on the POS change, was really afraid my jobs would get screwed up or id find my tower offline but other than the server reset all is good. YOUR MAKING PROGRESS CCP KEEP IT UP, I was afraid youd go the good route for crucible then revert back to the old "player base can kiss our ass we are doing what we want" thing but instead your still going on the new way of doing things, proud of you guys hehe

Another vote to turn off ALL blinking in the neocom. That is just unbelievably annoying.
