Sequence of events:
- I am hauling some stuff through low-sec using the cloak/MWD trick. - I see a friend login on his new out-of-corp alt, so I invite him to a chat. - He instead joins the group chat channel. - I jump through a gate into a gate camp and hit "align" to a celestial. - As I hit align, my friend rejects the private conversation, which results in a pop-up message stating so. - The pop-up message overtakes the screen and no commands work until it is closed. - By the time I do so, I am scrammed webbed and already into armor.
It's funny enough, so I'm not whining about it in the sense that I think the kill should be reversed or reimbursed. I will ask though that CCP [b]change all in game pop-up messages to not take over the screen[/b]. That includes rejected messages, 1 hour until downtime, etc. |

You probably blame your friends when you get pulled over for texting and driving as well huh?
Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings? |

I wonder how many cell phones lock out all vehicle controls until you acknowledge that your friend ignored your text?

I think chat spam invites were classed as some sort of exploit at one point pre-TiDi because of the pop-ups.
Posting complaints on GD whilst you have a petition up doesn't really help your case though (Hint: wait until after the GM has told you the logs show nothing, then do the outrage).
+1 for making your friend reimburse you TO THE RIPARDMOBILE! |

Edit: If it's a multi-person gate camp then monitor Local for new entrants, wait 55 seconds (if no one appears), and have your group send convo requests. |

Max is a million i believe. As a noob i thought it went to me, heh heh. There is a reject all option in esc menu, but yeah, doing chat channels while jumping a hot gate, you pooped your bed now lie in it.

Sending one or more convo requests for the purpose of locking your target out of the game client is as far as I can recollect deemed an exploit, as it is unintended use of a feature to gain an unfair advantage.
In case of the OP it was more a matter of the timing of the convo request being slightly off..... ISD Ezwal Captain Community Communication Liaisons (CCLs) Interstellar Services Department |

I wish CSPA charges were paid directly to the guy you're trying to convo. Set your CSPA to 1b, and hope someone reads it as 1m.

The downtime ones are pretty annoying. Not content to just tell me 2 or 3 times that downtime is coming, it also requires my assurance that it's "ok" to have downtime every single time. Yes, it's ok. It's always been ok. Please stop asking. |

IIRC, those can be closed with a simple tap on Esc ? If not, then at the very least, CCP should do that, even if they CBA to fix the last blocking prompts...
And yes, I also agree that it's bad design - the only blocking prompt should be the one telling you you lost connection to the server |

He couldn't execute cloak/mwd because of the pop-up.
Try reading the OP before jumping in with your poorly thought out smartass remark. |

You are an idiot
There is not enough information there to say even if he was starting it
If he was being ganked, he could have already been pointed, but he doesn't say if he was or was not

Modal windows are highly regarded as the most stupid thing any developer can do on ANY interface except on the confirm exit command.
That is the very first thing anyoen learnign about user iteraction lerns, yet so many still stubbornly put modal windows on thigns that have NO REASON TO BE MODAL!! "If brute force does not solve your problem..... -áthen you are -ásurely not using enough!" |

He writes a list of steps. He clearly states he hit align. He states the popup popped up (-.-) and that means it prevented him from hitting cloak and mwd.
Also... please... language! :( https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=4492860 Killmails for Wrecks!! Ganker tears, best tears!

And he started it. It doesn't matter if it'd have saved him or not. There's no reason for the popups to demand you click them before you keep playing. |

Learn to infer. Granted you have to graduate from playschool before that can be expected.
Other than that I'm putting you on block since a quick review of your posting shows that is the smartest thing to do. Good day.

Yes they are wanting to share free ammo with you, 1 volley at a time. |
