/copy and paste complaint about idiotic blinking chat button that cant be removed

These UI "improvements" are really starting to **** me off... now i have to spend 20 minutes reconfiguring neocoms across 5 characters just to get a UI which is vastly inferior to the old one.

What exactly was wrong with the old neocom?

New one ends up being the same for me except i have to mess with it to set it up, i have to disable all blinking b/c of chat button, and the new minimize system is TERRIBLE!!!

This, on the heels of the UI and font resize which really screwed me over since the new font was way too big and 90% scale is too small on certain things (like numbers on item icons in hangers for example)....

Like i said, these UI changes just make the game worse with every release, STOP IT FFS!

or better yet give us options to avoid the terrible new interface changes.

PS.
would it have been that hard to have the new neocom set up by default similarly to the old one so at least we didnt have to go add all the missing buttons back and reorder them?

Edit: ok, so the new minimize system is even more annoying then i originally estimated, and isnt much better than just closing all windows.

HEres a nice little bonus - minimizing wallet, then moving mouse over wallet icon to have your current isk pop up as tooltip no longer works. If wallet is minimized in that little icon it will just say wallet and wont display balance. Yay! I wonder if there are more little annoyances like that?

Love the AF changes. The new neocom can rot in hell. Everyone I talked to that uses the test servers say they and others argued against it. Yet you morons release this garbage anyways. Even the people that LIKE it have complaints. Give us an option to have the old one back.

The new neocom is shittastic. Why are my ships and items buttons now in a fixed position next to the undock button? That's the most idiotic place they could possibly be. Instead of, y'know, leaving them where they were, which was perfectly fine, or making it so we could move them around, you LOCKED THEM IN THE WORST POSSIBLE SPOT.

I hate that when ever I open anything an icon pops up on the bar.

I hate that I can't simply double click on the agent in the station to get a mission. One area opens up the agent info. One brings up a stupid larger picture of them. One smaller area bring up what I want.

You changed it from the whole thing bringing up a conversation with the agent to a small area. Terrible change imo.


I like that the agent says 'accepted' or what ever but the rest of that changes are horrid. Who thinks this crap up? Seriously trash.


Being able to use the old neocom/agent set up would be great until you make this suck less.

Also these new names are shlt because I can't tell what something is without reading through a couple words instead of just being able to tell from the word "scourge" or "hellfire" what kind of missile it was.

There are two major issues I'm seeing with Crucible 1.1:

1) Memory usage in the client.

Firstly, the client now uses like 300-400 MB more memory than it does before. Before Incarna, my client was using maybe 350 MB of memory per client. After Incarna they hovered around 700 MB per client, which might be understandable with the graphics updates and WiS.

But seriously, Crucible 1.1 memory usage is 900 MB to 1.2 GB memory PER CLIENT. Is there some explanation for this major increase?

On a modern desktop with 8GB of memory it might not be a big deal, but people for multi-box and when we run clients on let's say a laptop with 4GB of memory it starts to cause some problems.

2) New ammo and module renaming really sucks.

EVE is well-known for it's high learning curve, and we don't want WoW in space and the type of players that would bring. Sarcasm aside, WTF CCP? Renaming items that had a nice sci-fi feel to it just dumbs down the game.

Before anyone argues that the old naming system was too complicated, my argument is that if someone can't figure out which modules are which after playing for a few months is pretty frigging dumb and deserves to be podded every 5 seconds. It's really not that hard, and besides by using the "Compare" window you can learn which modules are which meta-level easily.

Here's to having to update my fitting xml exports *AGAIN*

Oh and my harpy loves you and I love it now! Always did but especially now!

Bookmarks for ingame browser brillant! Slide over brillant! Need some time to get used to it sure.

Bar to show skill points towards a skill brillant.

Combining not very often used icons under a simple click menu brillant.

I think once people get used to it they will be fine. Or not Can I have your stuffs? isn't that the reply?

Did I mention not leadership boosting needed? Haha love that could have patched that alone and I love you for it.

I want the old Neocom back. The new one just doesn't work for me.

New tabs opened when window opened.
Ships and Items locked near Dock button. Even when my items and ships is merged with station window.
No Calender Date.
Not able to have chat windows minimized on screen.
Large pictures for agents, this just doesnt look right and is annoying.
and many other issues...

There is nothing about the new Neocom I like, I think you should have just let it be.
Hopefully you will at least see this is something that should have been left alone.
Instead of working on changing the Neocom you should have been working on making it available to be aligned to the top and bottom of the screen, but according to your developers blog that was too much work and not important.

I know that is something myself and lots of people would like to see happen, which makes it important because your subscribers want it.
