...can not be removed anymore, since the last patch.
(correct me if I am wrong)

Now, why, WHY, please why would you, dear Dev, force us to have it permanently?
It did (and still does) work good without that button, and you can get it back through the menu any time!


Devs answer highly appreciated!

I agree! I already have enough flashing boxes in EVE!

Now, more than ever, we need a dislike button.

They let us rage over the weekend... normal CCP policy.

Get classic forum style - custom videos to captains quarters screen

Play with the best - die like the rest

No no no no!

This weekend is already reserved for Shield and Armor fleet raging about Bricks killing moms during incursion
Next weekend is same thing or at least until Brick ends their campaign

Just put a little happy face sticker on your monitor over the spot it occupies and STFU about it.

I was LMFAO when I saw this in the patch notes.

OP - obviously CCP learned from WiS that they know what's best for us and we're gonna like whether we want it or not. No brainer.

Btw the one under "Social" isnt the same, the one under Social is just the same thing that opens when you click the speech bubble on a chat.

The one forced on to the neocom is the only place that you can get to private chats from apparently (provided they are in a single window and not tabbed ina group to warrant an icon on the neocom)

Now CCP can you please make a separate chat icon for each window? This way it helps cut down on the list size when clicking it AND we get a better idea of which chat is blinking before we investigate it.

And also maybe flash only a few times and then stay highlighted like before.

Just what I was looking for!

- Flash only shortly, then stay lit but calm.

- Redo that chat button thingy


Oh well, and maybe learn that:

A programm should allways be build in a way, that is most usefull to the one that actually hast to use it,
(the user, you know?)
and not in the way that the developer thinks is the most shiny/fancy/advanced/awesome one!

Soons as you start building EVE for only your own entertainment, do as you please, until then, do what your paying customers want!

Anything new yet from CCP?

Do they still know whats best for us, and we will like the un-removable button sooner or later?




BTW, any news bout the new NeoCom? Did they allready crucify the intern that developed it?
Are there any things planned yet to import/export setting? (not doing it 20 times for 20 chars...)

Or someone tell me why they did not put the setup of the old neocom (buttons, positions) as default for the new one?
(I know, no one uses "fleet", "contracts", "accessories" or "corp", and they had to be removed by default, but I still dont like it!)

EVE is an experiment in social behavior.

Case closed why you cannot remove the chat button.


Edit: let me add that I too find the new flashy stuff a bit annoying.
Then again, I have much more important stuff to focus on then the new neocom.

Last I heard more UI rewrites on the way, the neo neo com is expected to get tuned along the way as they screw and mess around with every menu within the bar now.

Does anybody have an answer from a dev about why they did this?

I was happy without a chat button on my neocom. I had removed it while it was still possible to remove it. I recently had to clear my settings (because my assets window was broken), and now the chat button is back. I tried removing it in the old way, and it is impossible.

WHY would you do this? The chat button is the only button on my neocom that I will NEVER use, and it's the ONLY button which cannot be removed. This is just idiotic.

QFT, however I'm not referring to a chat button in a game based on social interaction.
