EVE Information Portal

The new tooltips are extremely frustrating when trying to target several ships in a group. Tooltip pops up and gets in the way, without actually including the ships I wanted to target in the list that pops up.

Please put it back the way it was. It was better before. I'd much rather have tooltips that instantly appear/disappear and actually work, compared to this unnecessary ridiculousness.

Tooltips need to go.

Tool tips do not work well with loot spew... good thing that is going away.

Going over the dev blog again trying to see if I missed something and looking at all those composite tooltip images, how can a designer ok this: http://content.eveonline.com/www/newssystem/media/66148/1/00002.jpg
How can this get accepted while the tooltips are blocking mayor parts of the UI?

Another great example of "what where you thinking when you implemented this" is shown from the next image:

Just look at the neocom wallet button, it's so unnecessary giving me info that I already get when I click that wallet button.
What's the function of telling me what I have in my wallet before I open my wallet? Do I really need to know this or can it wait one more click?

It's like the designer of this and those that approved it never ever heard of redundancy.

Why insist of giving the same information twice like here:
http://content.eveonline.com/www/newssystem/media/66148/1/00001.jpg

It says stargate twice, once in the tooltip, once on the overview and actually if you have played this game for more then a month the info that it's a stargate is there 3 times, as in the icon for the stargate.


It's good to try to help new players but this has gone way over the top.

In the hospital that I visit often there are elevators that tell you when the doors open and when they close. Besides that there is an audible cue there being told what I already see and know is annoying. It's incredibly useful for someone visually handicapped but I'm not.

The dev's behind these tooltips are treating us now like we are all visually handicapped (read new players) unable to distinguish when the elevator doors are open or closed and that, I find mighty offensive.

The last quote summarizes it all. Don't forget that the game exists because of the players, the goal should be to make them happy with your product. It's our game too in a way.

Adding my voice:

Predictive menus good; tooltips very very bad. Please let me turn them off.

I never really liked the vertical stacking of brackets BUT GOOD LORD THIS IS SO MUCH WORSE.

Bullshit.
There was plenty of feedback given for the unified inventory when it was on the test server.
Why? Because they told us beforehand that these changes were coming, and because they allowed everybody to test them.

Here, the dev blog came out the same time these changes were pushed to TQ (WHY the **** would you think that's a good idea) and they only put it on the test server for a portion of the EVE population.

Many people who would have been inclined to give feedback either didn't know about the tooltips or didn't even have these changes applied to them.

So DO NOT make excuses for CCP saying "oh well this is how they get feedback since nobody gives feedback on the test server" because THEY DO IF YOU ALLOW THEM TO.

But with an tooltip on it that says "button" and a message that tells you that by disabling this function you are agreeing to lose all of your new player experience and will receive no reimbursement for this at all.

also, this message box should have tooltip that says "message box"

Please disable these nasty tooltips, very annoying.

Fixed that for you; now take it out and kill it with fire. Terrible feature and there isn't anything to think about; Eve is a niche mmo that caters to a niche crowd. Trying to change that is stupid to say the least and even if you do succeed it will be an abomination to what it is now that will slowly die out as even the most jaded of idiots will get tired of the crap.

You guys need to find a stopping point with all these changes, cut your spending, and let the game be as it is. If it dies it dies at least you wont waste everyone's lives and we all can move on. You need to re-evaluate whomever you have controlling the new player experience because they either: a)don't give a damn and are there for the check or b)shouldn't be given decision-making powers (to be polite about it). I am 100% sure you can get rid of some of your guys and the ones that want to work will stay.

The best way I find to help new players if they don't have the drive is to hold their hands until a certain point and let them go from there. Everyone is different; some people don't have the willpower to go beyond a certain point and you just have to except that and let them go shoot rocks or something. Don't dumb it down for everyone and turn it into whack-a-mole online so that every time I log on I have rainbows popping up everywhere; Eve needs to stick to it's guns and be proud of what it is.
