EVE Information Portal

newdood here, love the new UI, I've heard 1-2 complaints about the new UI lacking individual colors for each icon makes it harder to find stuff. I however disagree the new buttons are far more readable because of the clear crisp outlines.

I only got to log in for all of a few minutes before I got the message about the server restart, so pretty much just got some first impressions of the new UI.

I really like the way everything looks, but would like some more options with the color. Luckily my old UI was close to one of the presets, but the icons blend in with everything, and you can get a bit lost. I was able to grasp which are which pretty quickly, so it will just take a bit of getting used to them, but everything seems... washed out. An option to change the UI colors independent of each other would be really nice, and making the icons a 3rd color option would do wonders. As a pipe dream suggestion, being able to make each icon a different color would be incredible. Green for wallet, yellow for market, grey for fitting, red for mail, w/e you wanted. It would give the icons the ability to pop that they seem to be lacking right now.

As far as the ships look, I only fiddled with my current ship, and I must say I love how crisp it looks, but it's really bright. I know our ships are supposed to be shiny, but my word! When the side of it caught the light I couldn't tell what the textures were supposed to look like. I think you guys need to nerf stars a bit, they are wreaking havoc on eyes across new eden.

it works ok for me but some light pastel subtle colour would not go a miss.

Please add color to the icons; monochromatic shapes are difficult to differentiate.

Please don't brighten up the background nebulas in order to create ambient light. If your "physically based" results in ships being too dark with just the light from the local sun (and planets), then tweak the formula; energy conservation is a fine concept, but so is "visibility and ease of play even for the visually impaired."

Please add an "active target monitor", a resizable box similar to the ship model viewer, that we could put in a corner to let us see the target we're shooting at up close without having to switch camera off our ship. You've put quite a bit of effort into the ship models and textures, but often we play zoomed out to the max looking at a blob of brackets, so all of that effort is lost.

Please add a camera mode that's locked to the direction of our ship. Please let us bind joystick axes for ship movement control, in addition to WASD. These two features would allow (optional) full joystick flight in the game.

The list of pilots in Local has been used for intel since the game was launched; it's not just a chat list. Please separate the list of pilots into its own detachable box so that we don't lose valuable screen space for the rest of the Local window. We want to see the pilots; we don't care for the crap they spam.

The only feedback that my ship is about to launch from station is a bunch of blinking orange runway lights. Maybe also a noise; I don't know, EVE doesn't have sound. In any case, the lights are NOT visible if I'm spinning the ship and it just so happens that I'm not looking down the launch corridor. Please either make the whole ambient light orange, or change the station floodlights around my ship to orange, or turn my camera to look towards the exit corridor, or something.

Most of your pre-defined color schemes have black as the secondary color. As specific examples, Gallente 1 seems to be green on green, but Gallente 2 is green on black, both Caldaris are blue on black, and so on. Is that intended?

Hello.

I wanted to give some feedback, too.

New PBR and ship look:
- I mostly like look of the ships. I like the shine, it does not look like toys, it does not look like plastic in my eyes. I play on medium details and it looks good, firing weapons also look nicer somehow Ships across factions look very good, I just don't like military camouflage personally. And some ships could be still improved.

New UI:
- I had to turn blur off and transparency to zero. If I don't, my fps drop significantly and while docked in station with inventory open, mouse cursor gets laggy. With transparency on, agent dialogs in dock are not well readable. Another reason for me to turn in off.
- Some people reported some nausea. I also have bad feeling after playing, especially after doing stuff docked, market transactions and inventory organizing! I don't like the "flashing" of activated windows. Does not have any practical use, too. Maybe when you are in space and select something in overview, the overview gets more readable in case of bright background. There I see a use.
- All and all, I would prefer maximal ajdustability for everything. Colors for separate windows, transparency, flashing, and so on.
- Please make the UI less demanding on CPU. It kills too much perfrormance.

Beta MAP:
- Looks very stylish. I checked the information and statistics available in the map, but I found some problems. Values are displayed only in color, not in numbers like in the old map. That is a big problem, I could not find exact information there.
- Flight path is not visible when selected, and when some statistics are displayed, the unhighlighted systems are almost invisible. The flight routes and system just kind of disappear and it makes orientation in space difficult.
- Zooming is little bit problematic sometimes. If you want to zoom out to whole solar system for example. Often times you zoom too much, or not enough. You can't see if you see whole system, or not. Makes it uncomfortable.
- Map in current state need testing and attention, or it will cause major outcry.

Other:
- I like the world events - sleepes in known space. New star. The new warmholes also are good for a lot of people. New variety, new things to try or explore.
- Too bright nebulaes cause unreadable module status and targeted entities. If you don't tune the brightness down (Nibaikier, Nahyeen systems, Amarr...), than please do something with readability of stuff in space, including location marks in space.

I hope you fix as much as you can. Keep up good work.

why should we have no right to voice our opinion because we don't log onto the testserver or read every devblog like a nerd? idgi.
since this is, you know the feedback thread for rhea, well we might aswell give feedback here... and not every feedback is positive. deal with it.

CCP is a business that offers its services to paying customers. Anyone who is still subscribed atm, whether via PLEX or direct subscription can be defined as paying customers.
Therefore, each and everyone who is still subscribed is fully entitled to submit their feedback if there's an issue with CCP's service. Simple core business basic. Let's not forget this.

As to the issue of constructive/non-constructive feedback, both should be expected. This is the internet. Being polite is good, but there's nothing wrong with being caustically negative to drive a point either (I'm guilty of that sometimes). If you fly off the handle just to post an admonishing post (which is factually wrong on the entitlement portion) for all the rude remarks, then sir, you're guilty of the same thing.

You know what no its not a bit dramatic its a serious issue that you cant just make light of. She has an issue one that this game only now makes worse. But only since this update/expansion bs. I for one concur with her I am not sensitive to things like these but even I felt like I was getting one serious headache after an hour or so of playing. That tells me this is a serious issue that should have been caught and fixed PRIOR to launching it. But thats just one humble opinion make light of it but know I think less of you for trying to shame someone with a serious issue. Hope you enjoy being less them scum.

Thanks for the excellent work .... but the U/I needs a bit of love still..... it is a mash of unreadable gibberish when you have screens laying on top of screens.... yes I love the graphic work you have done on the universe and ships... but when I am trying to buy and sell I really don't care what my ship looks like..... I need to be able to opaque these screens at least so I can see what I'm doing.

Please stop bitching around for no reason..
The real problem is that the most of you arent familiar with the new icons.
So most of your arguments are plain stupid.

Give it a try, play some weeks and you will adapt to them.
After this, you can post your review.
