Thank you,

We have a clear notifications button in the works, probably coming in a followup patch this or next week.

We definitely want industry, PI and a bunch of other new notification types, we just couldn't get them in yet which is part of why we went with opt-in to start. We will be adding notification types as soon as we can.


since i saw the category "structure lost" i assumed that it is probably a notification for pos structures only. Would be nice to have that for the new deployables too. Clicking the notification would open the loss mail.


i got a notif for a lost MTU (left it out in space coz apparently im ********)

Needs more right-clicks! I want the normal right-click options on people logging in, placing bounties on me, etc.

Would also be nice with a separate +1 toggle next to the visibility toggles. I want certain things in my history without spamming me with +1s.

All around excited for this new feature!

I miss the little bit of info the old notification gave you when contacts logged in....like what color they were set to and what 'label' they had...

Also, yeah, please make this per character. Atm it is PER PC. I opt-ed in on one of my characters, now all of my accounts have switched to it....with all the same settings...

And that sound....no volume control eh? ("oh we didn't think about that")

I like the new notifictions system.

It's discreet and the information balance seems to be right.

I would add that we obviously don't need to be notified in the neo com as well though. The new system is enough and nicely presented.

Don't take me too seriously though, I like to tease a bit on the forums, but that's only because I love you...

If im logging in after a few hours (clicking on portrait), i see 1-2 minutes a blackscreen,
till everything is loaded.
If experimental notifications are disabled everything is finished loading in a few seconds.

Altough i have to disable this feature since i've no clue if im already
appearing in space while there is just that boring blackscreen.

I have to say that im probably getting 15-35 notifications everyday.

not usre if this has been said, but i'd like to have it so if someone logs on one, and longs off that just a single notification for them being on or off will work. I had a watch list contact log in and off 10 times, so I have 20 notifications for it.

OMG Comet Mining idea!!! Comet Mining!

My first impression - handy, but I don't like where the icon is - I would like to move it to the neocon right above the clock at the bottom and have it expand up and out to the right... but see no way to move it.

The main issue sits in my inventory window, or over it in hangar and over my drone window in space (if it stays when undocked) I try to keep all things I can off the neco because, windows... and limited space.

Otherwise, no problems or suggestions so far.

Lovely thing, a few things tho:
Bug:
When you add someone to watch list, it generates 2 notifications (Only when adding)

Suggestions:
-If you mouseover the popup notification, it will be marked as "Read" or Seen and will not show a number for new notification. Would also be nice that when you click a mail notification, the mail will actually be marked as Read (it doesn't always do that)
-Give the notification popup a small cross so that you can close it. I have mine right over my Overview (bad place I know, but currently the best), and it gets kinda disturbing when it's stuck there :)

Moving the box is done by holding right click on the box and wait till it expands in size about 3 seconds.
Settings menu when opened allows you to change how it opens.

Not sure if this has been already mentioned but:

When I get a skill training completed, when I am not online. It appears I get two notifications, one when the training actually completes, and one when I log on and the "skill training completed" sound is played.

Example

Nice! thanks for the help with that, I had found the expand stuff in the settings but there was nothing on moving the icon I could find.

Might suggest then they put a right click - move or something like they do with other items... or at least standardize this whole thing with one way to unlock/move/lock stuff in EVE... maybe too much to hope for.

Anyway - will move it when I get home - so far so good then. I do like this item - handy UI tool.

Trying to find a location for it where it doesn't obscure too much information is a bit of a problem for me, that could just be because I have a chaotic screen however.

I did find while moving it around that if placed in the upper left next to system and autopilot information that all notification pop-ups appear behind the system/AP information rather than over it. Would be nice if it could show up over those giving another place where it could be placed out of the way.

2. - Add ability to manually set the transparency of the Popup, because depending on the location of the notification window on our screens, its contents may not always be easy to read.

Yeah, an option for the opacity and the size of the widget icon would also be nice.

when you click on someone logging in and it brings up the chars info .. it would be nice if when you click on the notification a second time it would close the window .. so you don't have too go up to the x too close it and same with all windows the notification lets you open

T3's need to be versatile so no rigs are necessary ... they should not have OP dps and tank

ABC's should be T2, remove drone assist, separate HAM's and Torps range, -3 HS for droneboats

As far as I can tell, the notification icon is locked to the bottom right. This might just be a bug on my end - as there are display options that seem to indicate it would move adjustable in position - but as far as I can use it it's not adjustable.

The second and most important flaw: The notification icon cannot be made to disappear. You are effectively stuck with the icon on the screen the entire time. This is outright bad design, no justifying not giving an option to have the icon itself fade away. Give us a hotkey to bring it back up again and allow us to set it to disappear.

The new notification system suffers from the same problem as nearly all new UI inclusions in the past couple years: Inability to change position of elements and inability to collapse. You guys need to start realizing that we don't always want certain elements of the UI to be visually apparent. You made this mistake with the industry interface, where we cannot collapse the top section to give us more room to search for teams, blueprints, etc. Please, no more. Separate things appropriately and/or let elements be collapsible entirely.

Thanks.

Hey guys.

evening all,

I'd like to make the suggestion of being able to disable the notifications while in space. I play Eve on a laptop and while traversing space, my screen can get awefully crowded. When I get notifications (possibly about my ship being destroyed) that cover up my warp off button, one gets a tad disappointed. I really do not see where I can place the notifications (especially in regards to the rather big popups they bring) on my screen.
It would have been lovely if those notifications had been either delayed, or just became visible after i had docked.

Yes yes, I know, Harden the F**k up ... But still :-)

Overall, I really like the new system and am looking forward to seeing how it grows and evolves.

The bugs/problems I've noticed have already been mentioned but I'll re-assert them here:

  1. FPS drops when loading. I've gone from 60 to 30 FPS while docked in a station.
  2. Spelling misktake in Miscellaneous > Jump Clone Distruction


Some features that I would like to see in the future:

  1. Ability to colour code history and pop-up notifications. Having a colour lets me know if it is currently relevant to what I am doing and how urgent it might be. Pirate
  2. Standings for watch list notifications.
  3. Market - Sell/Buy Notifications
  4. Contract - Accepted/In Progress/Completed Notifications


Cheers,
Tim
