Yesterday I was quiet enthusiastic with the new neocom, but after 20 days of use, I'm already missing the old one.

Why, why OH why (and who) decided that everything should be minimized into it with the same Question icon.

So in the past all I had to do was looking for minimized windows titles to get it right with a quick look.
Now we gotta mouse over everything to find the good one.
Do you call this "new and improved"? Hell you managed to make it less practical and less intuitive, and for those who play on their laptops with relatively small screen height the neocom fill up incredibly fast once you minimize a few different windows making it even less convenient to navigate on.

It looks good tho, so good that the rest of the interface looks like **** now.
But it's clunky.

PS: And new wiki fonts need to be zoomed caus some dude designed it to look good on his ipad2.

PS2: And lol at forum gank

I for one, welcome our new neocom overlords.
We have a skill progress bar now.
A PROGRESS BAR. Now I can watch my power increase while ship spinning.

I only have one negative issue with it, chat channels... I dont want them all minimised into one icon, I had intel channels minimised to the bottom of the screen individually so you can see which one os flashing and open just that one... Now every time any of them flash I need to open it to see ifits going to be somethign relevent or not... At least let us make individual chat icons on the neocom

Trust me, I almost know what I'm doing.

Yeah your are right. Fixed the OP post.

Time aside, nobody being annoyed by not having minimized windows with title at the bottom of the screen anymore? Hell I hope CCP will influence webbrowser developers! it would be so pro if all tabs had only a favicon as description. Oh and they should put them into a submenu too!

... yeah right.

Im with this guy. The neocom looks good but the only new useful function i got from it is you only have to hover your mouse over the wallet to stop it from blinking (freaking awesome!). however the loss of ability to quickly check which chat channel has an update is really annoying.. can we have that back please? or at least an option?

I assume that with 20 days of experience with the neocom, you have been playing a lot on sisi?
And yes, the new neocom sucks because of minimzing **** and unremovable chat (witout big). Oh and OH NOES! CHANGE! but we can get past that last part.

But honestly I'm losing faith in CCP's ability to release something coherent.

Imagine your favourite browser get an update. Tabs now are expended verticaly, they removed the pages titles so you don't know which one is what without a mouse over, and left only the website icons, only problem is in eve it's always the same icon.

We agree you would change to another browser right after witnessing such incompetence.

Well they ******* did it.
