Just wanted to chime in and say that I disagree with this proposed voting idea. Clearly the feedback process could stand some improvement and player polls should be more accessible, but if any of you think that CCP is going to sacrifice its creative vision to a self-imposed democracy, you're out of your minds.

They've already told us what they're going to do. 1.1 on the 19th and the next iteration 14 days later. They've prioritized performance issues over logistics. A player with only spinning discs and no inventory system at all doesn't care much about right click functionality. They've also said they're discussing customizable shortcuts, dragging tree entries to the hangar and the neocom, and hopefully permanent shortcuts for the station/corp hangars.

I agree that regardless of the inent, the term "vocal minority" wasn't very complimentary. Even if it's accurate, it has a dismissive connotation and wasn't well-received here either. I'm still interested in this issue even though I've ceased writing about it. My gameplay is still lacking. I'm just writing on other topics because we have days until the next development here. There's already thousands of comments on the subject. But calling for heads to roll and being generally uncouth isn't going to make the wait any more bearable. We've got 5 days until the 19th and 19 more to 7/3rd. That's the timeline we're on.

At least give the devs a chance to iterate and see what happens before you start burning tires in the streets.

In the sense that everyone would like this issue behind us, I'm sure you're right. The problem is that once one commits to something, he loses developmental freedom. The answer may well be that they don't know what they can restore, what they're willing to change, or the rate at which the playerbase is adapting to the new UI. These are the people after all who declared war on multiple windows. They may still be in shock that there were so many people out there who liked those. I suspect part of the issue too is that their premise is that with enough time, most people will adapt. You can't even test that premise without waiting and patience isn't fun for anyone. I do agree that even a rough outline of what is planned for future iterations could set minds at ease but at this point we don't know if they even know what they're going to do yet.

I'm not a complainer and I never get on the forums. But this inventory system is a pain in the butt. I would really just like an option to use the old system. Put the old code back in as a seperate object and allow the players to choose the system they want to use. I know its not that simple but it is easier then the alternative.

Windows has the option of mulitple windows or open new window in existing window. I like multiple windows and really need them with the 500GB files I move around between servers and processing data accross thousands of miles in my real job. Would really like it back to the way it was in here.

It doesnt matter how much polish you put on this turd its still a turd, man up and admit you failed and do the right thing ROLL IT BACK or recode the inventory the same as the old one, everyone will be happy to have an extended downtime to roll it back to normal.

Soon, we will start seeing the announcements that CCP Personnel are heading out for summer vacation. That is what might push work on this project all the way through the Winter holidays (per CCP Soundwaffe's initial work schedule posting).

Before that happens, we need to push for closure on what is still a highly unpolished and yet critically necessary feature of the EVE entertainment service.

@ CCP: Believe it or not, we have your best interests at heart. That which makes the game usable and fun for your customers also makes for good marketing and more revenue through word-of-mouth advertising and PLEX sales. Help us to help you, in other words.

Thank god they havent removed the 'Resign as CEO' option when you right click your name in the fleet window. I dont know what i would do without that.

Not getting a list of incoming changes makes it rather hard to give meaningful feedback.

So we will see your hand on monday.
Yes, I could have chosen to provide my preliminary list of needed workarounds, but I get a sense of being 'dumstædig' on CCPs part, so I am just going to wait and make a thorough post next week when I have had time to grind it through various tasks.
Also postponing all other points in this thread until then. I have a weekend with part of the family coming up and I am not going to let this get in the way.

CCP, why when we complain about a fix that was not required you will not roll back to the old system such as with this rubbish UI. Yet War dec it was returned almost immediatley because it was broken. Every one except a minority did not want this UI and told you, CCP, at the test stage.

Since this is about the UI why is it every time I 'loot all' I then end up with two cargoholds open on top of each other once the can closes. This is frustrating. Try to fix one thing then break something else.

I repeat what i have said before. Give us back the old system and move this UI into assets where it should have been all along. Give the players what they want please.
