Next year i will have to book more time off before and after fanfest. It was so difficult leaving the Blue Lagoon to catch our plane.
I couldn't bear to do that. Marking the end of FanFest and the beginning of the end of my holiday in Iceland was bad enough; having to have leave the country as well? That would've been too much!

1) Clearer info regarding registration for events (Dust514 Tournament, Pub Crawl, etc)
Many people who paid for the Pub Crawl were unaware you had to sign up for a group until the Crawl was underway.
I have to point out that this was stated on the FanFest events pages. However, CCP Guard and Darth Beta did confuse things slightly during the cover of CCP Unifex's kick-off session on Thursday by saying that there were sign-ups for round-table sessions when it was simply first-come, first-to-nick-a-chair.

On the subject of suggestions, something for the sober folk would be nice (like in 2011) during the pub crawl. I know sobriety is a strange concept during FanFest, but I was told that group had filled up just like all the others so there are a fair few out there...

Fanfest was great!

(Only issue I really had was with the clashing of the poker tournament and charity dinner - seemed unfair to those who had paid for both.)

Everyone was lovely, but I want to say a particular thank you to CCP Flying Scotsman, who is just a brilliant man. Big smile

Edit: there was a designated sober pub crawl group?

Last year, yes. It was announced during FanFest iirc, not in advance. I didn't make it because I thought chessboxing would clash; I was a bit disappointed when it didn't because all of the spaces were full by then.

Yeah that annoyed me too, good thing I am horrible at poker, there was no lights for the table and I was able to loose my last chip in time for dinner.

I just saw that and am watching it RIGHT NAOW!! Thanks Arrow! I work in advertising and used to be a UI designer so this issue near and dear to my heart. Bear

I know these are just works in progress, but if I could give a thought for your future UI reworking - the "brackets" or icons for ships & drones, it would be nice if they could be feint if the mouse is not over them and they are not targeted, and have just a "bracket" with their specific shiptype icon over to the top left or top right, so the actual in-game model doesn't get covered up by the UI. It would give the impression, in my opinion, of being less cluttered, especially in a huge battle. Reducing the clutter and making details available for those who need it when they need it, but not present all the details at once would really help I think. I hope this makes sense, I'm really excited for the next UI devblog!!

That video is awesome, thank you CCP Arrow!

Now I just wish that I knew which of those are "future" and which are "fantasy"
