EVE Alliance Tournament Discussion

The Good

The new UI. Those potential dps and control bars for explaining the game to new players is top notch, almost want something similar in game for fleet commanders/ wing comm

I love that the UI isn't BRIGHT WHITE. The gray dark UI looks classy and doesn't clash with the darkness of eve's visuals.

The commentators don't look like kids on their webcams in their moms house. This really means a lot to me, the whole thing feels more professional again.

The new banning format. Genius, hope to see this in the main tourney.

The team format is enjoyable to me because in AT you have a few teams who form just to fight in the tourny. Now we have a few teams who are all members of one alliance being the odd balls. This dynamic is really awesome. Some of the mix teams are actually teams that fought under an alliance banner. Players changing alliances in advance to fight fora team is common. The new format allows these players to shine, the alliance doesn't get the glory for mix teams.

The not as Good

Why can't we see cap levels? No seriously, can a blue post not a normal forum goer please answer me this? With all of the new info up on the screen to help understand the matches, why can't we as the viewers see when a ship gets capped out instead of guessing? I think it would be way more exciting and nail biting to actually get to watch his cap drain to a cruse. To see it tip just past peak recharge, the crowd would go nuts!

Matches not in order, all backwards on ownedtv... unable to watch order because it's ******* impossible. Please fix?

Talking at the start! talking at the end! Please think about always having the talk at the end of the match please. People new to eve aren't going to sit through 15 minutes of people talking about eve when they haven't even ever sen game play. Also just having it be consistence would be awesome.

Not being able to tell which ship is which on the top view or bottom right tactical view. This is only an issue now because everything else is becoming so clear. And I really feel like the goal of turning eve into a more watchable E-sport all comes down to accessibility. and in eve looking up all you see is red and blue squares. There is no way to tell which is a battleship, or which is a frigate. This is a really serious issues that even in eve online needs a fix soon. There needs to be some way to tell which ships are which. r at least tell which size class ship they are. Why is every single ship in the game represented by the same icon?

when is the last time you played supreme commander? Imagine if when you zoomed out there only blue dots to show your army and no way to tell what was what. So you'd have to zoom back in to see, but then you lose the overall view of the battle.

This makes it impossible for new players to know whats going on. I kinda can figure it out because the logi is the blue dot far away, the 3 red dots clumped must be the nightmares because I can tell that effect going between the 3 blue squares is cap tranfer. The faster blue sqaures must be the frigates. This does not make watching fun for people who aren't seasoned vets. you want more viewers? show people whats going on.

I hope I'm not sounding overly critical, I love this tourny, I just want to see it get better.
