They do that modal window stuff even in dust...

You are ruling tha battlefield, shooting the guts out of your enemies...total heat of the moment and then *BLIP* a modal window appears and before you realize whats going on, the enemy was able to dismiss the window faster than you and you're dead.

This is still an issue, and still annoying, CCP please allow us the option to turn this off.

I am hardly on for DT shut down but I can say that this is one of the features that depresses me. In all honesty i see no reason why they can't put it in the top left corner where all the other timers appear.

One hour before downtime, and then 30/15/5 minutes before, there is a popup message to tell the players that the server is coming down. This is all well and good, but it completely shuts down your User Interface until you click the OK button.

Can we change this? I haven't lost anything yet, but I'm waiting for the day one of my ships explodes because I can't click on anything due to this popup window.

Can this be changed so that the window still shows up, but doesn't shut down your overview.

Ta.


Yep, agree. Should have been done a long time ago.

Keep the notification, remove the Lockout of all other functions will that window is open.

Also do the same thing for "item does not fit" messages when looting.
Currently I hit Loot All, theres not enough space, a popup appears telling me, but also locks the UI so I cant MAKE space until I dismiss that bastitch popup...... Seriously ...... WHY ?
Make it a vocal notification like "The Capacitor is Empty" or something, heck anything that adds more of that voice is ok with me Cool

But, there is no 30 minute popup, only 60/15/5 *nitpick* P
