EVE Information Portal

Loving the new launchers and the missile effects. The spiralling rocket salvoes are my favourite visually, but I'm also a big fan of the launch "shriek" of the standard missiles.

I'm irritated by the Unified Inventory. It is a barrier to my chosen style of play and I find it laborious and unintuitive.

I have mixed feelings about the Inferno Trailer; it was the usual high-quality, slick affair visually, but given the Faction Warfare theme to Inferno, theres no mention of factions whatsoever. The narration was functional, generic ultra-male video-game waffle that would be just at home overlaid onto a Call of Duty or Halo video. It was technically good, but I'd have like to have seen something less like the bullet-point Crucible trailer and more like the sublime and cinematic Fanfest one.

I feel the failure to leverage EVE Online's colourful faction backstory is a big marketing fumble. Briefly glimpsed footnote aside, does Faction Warfare's notable absence from the marketing reveal a lack of faith in the FW mechanic or an increasing cultural distance from EVE's lore?

I honestly don't know why people hate the new inventory so much. I quite like it. Simplifies things down to one window. Sure... it will take some time to relearn it, but for the love of God, spend some time learning how to use it. Don't spend five bloody minutes, conclude you hate it, and then ***** at CCP for screwing it up.

Just try this: Go 24 to 48 hours with the new inventory. If you still hate it then, then come on the forums and yell at CCP to do something about it.

okay I'm tired of this I've just made a fresh character with no like history, let's make this really simple for CCP and the developers,

If you hate the new inventory system and think it should be optional or removed like this post. I will be posting the same thing in the issue thread . let's see how long it takes for this character to get 2000 Likes ... that should make our point painfully clear. If CCP even cares.

edit: I'm doing this this way because there doesn't seem to be any voting system for the forms

…and that's the whole problem. Some tasks are not simplified by having one window — they are actually made far harder and far less efficient. This is not a “relearn” or “be used to” thing, but something that is objectively much more laborious.

By the way, the old system already supported using one window, so there's actually nothing new going on there. You could fairly closely replicate the new system in the old one; you can't replicate the old system in the new one. That alone tells you that the new system is having functionality issues.

I've gone for several weeks with the new inventory. At every turn, it shows more and more problems. Those 24-48 hours happened long before I wrote the post in my sig, and it remains just as true today as it did then.

While shooting the Jita monument, suddenly the missile graphics have disappeared. Still see damage but no missiles or animation. Actually had to log as ship stopped responding to any commands and carried on orbiting the monument.

my feedback is simple.

everything else is good.

the new inventory system needs to die, its unintuitive, unhelpful, very inefficient, hard to customise due to it working how a dev thinks players think rather than how players actually think (multi windows,well at least in my case), poorly implemented and adds no features that couldn't have been integrated into the old system.

Now having said that it would make a very nice assets system but as it is it feels like the devs have thrown away the UI and just exposed an ugly database structure with no relevance to the nature of the game. My ships are ships, not a file in a damn file system, I think of them as ships and therefore the old multi container multi window setup made perfect sense to me. Now this might improve as i get used to it but already its proving far more confusing and inefficient to use than I ever remember my first expereince with the old system to be which is a problem.

my perfect solution would be for the old system to return and a fixed up version of the "new and improved" inventory replace the assets system.

ps. It only gets worse if you need to do something quick in space, I guess ill forget about looting and salvaging from now on and mining has become an even worse chore.

pps. The new system is better for newbies??? How so, it throws away most mmo inventory conventions ensuring that any new players will be guaranteed to be confused rather than the old system where past experience would help them.

edit for spelling

Didn't you hear? There are a few "inventory management" skills lined up. It's a new career too.

Make sure to get "Static Windows" and "Multiple Tabs" skills up to III first.

Not sure who invented this inventory ****,..fix it.and if you cant... .fire him....cause if this **** stays im not gonna pay for hes sallary

The new unified inventory sucks!
Give us back the old or atleast make it optional like CQ

shift click to open more than one window, it says so in the damn hover caption for all the items last i checked.. .same for inventory button....

as for fixes, i have suggested it now and will continue to tell CCP how to make the 99% happy but they yet to listen https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1338033#post1338033
