EVE General Discussion

Boomhauer's new explaination of the UI for POS's: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DatDZGpjjiM

Account expires in 40 minutes. New inventory is ******** in my opinion.

This after the micro transaction issue shows me what kind of company CCP is.

No you can't have my stuff. Go gank some miners if you need isk.

39 minutes and last of 3 accounts dead.

What CCP promised: CHANGE!

What CCP gave us: damn it!

ive moved my base of operations several times in my eve experience. the most recent time under this new system was by far the worst. it's clunky, inflexible and generally takes longer to do things not to mention i lose things in inventory so much now it's ridiculous. i really really REALLY miss the old system. im working with the new system, bearing with it and hopefully they just make it an option to go back to the old ui. it would make so many people happy to have the option, if you like the new system that's great, but many of us don't like it at all. we shouldn't have to be subject to a silly pet project of CCP that failed and they won't admit defeat and we must suffer with their mistake.

there are some aspects of the new system i do like such as the filters feature and estimated isk value, but overall it's a step backward in my opinion. having a tree to navigate is nice but not when you have to find the miniscule slide bar to go to the bottom and set things down as you navigate down the tree to slide it all the way to the bottom. i especially dislike that when you drag an item into another cargo and if you take a split second too long in doing so it automatically switches to the destination cargo - can be absolutely infuriating at times. and the loading... just don't move all your corps stuff from multiple stations all at once anymore, you will regret it.

During a routine mission to my POS in my Orca, I encountered a strange anomaly.

It started out as two spinning circles, then began making me left-click, right-click, shift-click, drag, scroll up and down, click tiny triangles, then stare at spinning circles again.

After a lengthy engagement, I finally discovered this anomaly to be a new feature called the UNIFIED INVENTORY.

Exhausted, I retreated to my nearest station and logged off. Not only had I lost the battle, but I knew I had to face the enemy again soon.

I personally refer to it as the Inventory from Hell. But to each his own.

I'm getting used to it, which does not mean it is better then what we had before.

I came back after a long time away and ran into this piece of crap CCP calls Unified Inventory. Unsubbing until CCP Soundwave is either fired or his ego deflates sufficiently for the Unified Inventory to be removed.

Sure! Works GREAT if you have maybe one ship (as long as it's NOT an Orca), a handful of items, and no corp hangar access.

Yeah! Works GREAT if you aren't trying to run some manufacturing or invention jobs at a POS.

Uh-huh! Works GREAT if you aren't trying to pick and choose specific items out of a wreck.

I agree 100%... It works GREAT, unless you are trying to do something... like ... inventory related...

An hour left and this toon goes off the air. I'll check back with trial accounts to see if they ever turn this UI system in to something that doesn't frustrate and annoy. Ending gaming session pissed off because I was battling the inventory system and having to double-check every move and verify every ship isn't worth the money to me.

In my opinion, the great flaw with the UI was not that it was introduced, but that functionality was arbitrarily removed. The attempt to make everybody 'be the same' after having options for years was wrong. It should have expanded on the system rather than outright trashed it. One solution answers don't work...

If I were to ask all of you to try and come up with a brand of coffee -- a type of coffee, a brew -- that made all of you happy, and then I asked you to rate that coffee, the average score in this room for coffee would be about 60 on a scale of 0 to 100. If, however, you allowed me to break you into coffee clusters, maybe three or four coffee clusters, and I could make coffee just for each of those individual clusters, your scores would go from 60 to 75 or 78. The difference between coffee at 60 and coffee at 78 is a difference between coffee that makes you wince, and coffee that makes you deliriously happy.



Fly safe. My stuff? It is in there somewhere.

Not over the Unified Inventory, but the moronic way CCP continues to ignore customer wishes. I guess when they removed the learning skills it was all over for CCP.
