EVE General Discussion

Oh, the irony.

What happens in July? SC starts Beta or ED gives planetary flights?

Sry if i missed something, midnight summer fiestival and all...

There are so may ppl in eve that just don't care about changes as it won't effect them in the slightest as they are not in Null.
I'm in Null tho so I see some minor changes

Oh and numbers are down. Can't remember the last time jita was full and could not get in but it is summer time.....

See what were CCP´s response to color blinds about new icons and overview.

Middle finger.

I would not have much expectations about changes being made or reversed.


EDIT: post #129

The wipers only work with the sun roof open on the one I just got from the icon team.
It must be the "improved version" mentioned in their latest blog.

New blog - That sadly doesn't address - much at all really

I am left a little puzzled by;
I'm not sure I understand why they are duplicating something that is already possible by adding another layer of configuration.
I really don't see thousands of players wanting to fly around with overview settings open, so they have an in-client icon legend to use as a visual guide.

Devs it seems really have no idea what was possible (with overview configuration) and even less idea of what players want and need from icons.
Unless icons can tell me whether it is a Merlin, Hawk or Harpy, they tell me nothing that was not already available by looking at other overview columns. Which will still be required no matter what they do with the current blurry mess.

IMO just go to nice simple icons and optimize the rest of the overview so it can be used effectively by the wider eve community.

Well, I already foresaw and forewarned on the downsides of faster change. The player side (novelty stress) is already showing up, and the developer side (creativeness depletion) will kick in sooner or later.

Now, I think that CCP is running fast to implement the Rubicon plan as soon as possible, and once it is implemented, they plan to throttle down and enjoy the fruits of their success. Just there won't be such success because CCP got the goals wrong and they're too late.

See, Ripard Teg wrote last year that CCP Seagull is attempting a last run to the fences, but she wouldn't make it. And that's my impression. We know the guidelines of the development plan, and kwow that it will take up to 2016 to implement it, even at the current frantic pace.

And I look at it as a part of the "62%", and see absolutely nothing in it for us. At best, some structures will replace the POS for industrialists, but the rest of the plan... space colonization... come on. People who wanted that from EVE, already did it, and they make a small sliver of the grand population of the game.

We didn't come here to settle nowhere. Look at Thera. Look at the Drifter wormholes. Look at Fozziesov. Look at how many people who wasn't "playing the game right" actually moves there rather than quit...

Why stop there. The beta Map is horrible as well. You can't even scan probe from it.

They fixed some bugs with probing on the new map, but honestly separate solar system and galaxy maps was better in terms of practicality.

The new map is very much a case of form over function, the old map is superior in every way except of aesthetics. Making things pretty is great, but doing so at the expense of functionality is a horrible idea.

Unlike some things I am reasonably confident that CCP will actually improve the new map over time though.

Fixed.

"Oooo... shiny!"
