Hai, your internet service provider's inadequacies are the problem, not CCP's patch size. Nothing to do with my SP.
Downloading from other sources isn't anything like that slow. |

20,000 other players who have been online for the last 4 hours disagree. I don't see how they could possibly disagree, since they have no way of knowing what download speeds I get from other sources. |

I'm very pleased that drone health is now visible in the drone bay and that clone upgrades have been removed.
However:
When I was at last able to log in after a marathon download and my screen opened into my hangar, I physically flinched at what I saw. There was my trusty Magnate dressed up the in the most hideous bling imaginable.
Desperately hoping that this was just a glitch on one ship I switched to my Prophecy but, alas, it was just the same. Ah, the humble Amarr shuttle will surely be more presentable . . . but no, the horrible, glaring bling was everywhere.
PBR on Amarr ships is a disaster - please dim it down by several dozen notches. Previously, these ships looked like what they were supposed to represent: massive chunks of solidly-built space-going hardware weighing thousands of tons. Now they look like small lightweight plastic toys weighing a few grams and painted by an over-enthusiastic 5-year-old.
Also, the turrets used to be colour-matched to the hulls, but now they are all a uniform silver-grey.
Some Gallente ships have come out a little better (e.g. the Algos looks pretty good), but others not so good. The polished chrome needs to removed or at least toned down a bit and some of the individual ship skins need tweaking.
The larger CreoDron ships need their green base colour toned down to match the Ishkur, and the Roden ships need to lose that highly polished bronze to a slightly flatter shade.
All the Caldari and Minmatar ships I've looked at so far seem fine.
I would have preferred to keep the old UI icons but don't object greatly to the nature of the new ones except that I think that some of them could be more intuitive. Recycling, clone bay and character customisation are fine, but a spanner (wrench to those across the pond) for repair shop? No, no - spanners are for fitting things, you need a welding torch for repairs.
And what's with the Rifter silhouette to denote a ship? Most newcomers won't even know what a Rifter is. If you must have a ship symbol why not use the generic one from the 'look at my ship' button on the camera radial menu?
Personally I would rather have the mini-thumbs back in my inventory. |

Greygal wrote:Completely forgot to mention in my prior post... but whatever you did to the selected items window, PLEASE fix it back! There are no buttons on the Selected Items window anymore, or at least, none that I can see! You have to select something on the overview, then the relevant icons are highlighted (nice and crisp white), but until you select something, you can't actually see any of the icons! I could write a wall of text about how much this greatly interferes with gameplay and usability, if you want me to... This is how the Selected Items window looks to me right now - this is using Carbon theme, no transparency, blur off: http://i.gyazo.com/e06171ad9d96d239a0c481948dc094dd.png Needless to say, that's suboptimal ... Why would you need to see icons that you can't use?
When you select an item all the icons that can act on that item get highlighted (the others are there if you look hard enough, leastways they are on my screen). |

Adrie Atticus wrote:Because the icon row isn't static and changes depending on what is selected. If you expect the targeting reticle to be on the same location every time, you will be clicking past it when you target different things. Well, oddly enough, I don't click where I expect something to be - I click where I can see it. |

Nah - most people use the Neocom. |

PBR looks good, but either CCP has to ease up GPU load, or I'll have to buy a new graphics card that is worth of few months subscription. Not sure what you mean by "laptop" settings, but I use a 8800GTS with these settings:
Trails: Off GPU Particles: Off
Resource cache: Disabled HDR: Disabled
Anti-Aliasing: Disabled Post Processing: None Shader Quality: High Texture Quality: Medium LOD Quality: Medium Shadow Quality: Low Interior Effects: High Interior Shader Quality: High
Works as a reasonable compromise for me (24-inch screen). |

I dislike the messy star-speckled background. A map is a functional item and should show only the things a user might want to see, set against a plain background of a suitably contrasting colour.
RL examples:
A town map shows roads and prominent locations such as car parks, municipal buildings, hospitals, public parks etc on a plain background. It is not printed on a background showing a pictorial representation of a town .
A map of the countryside shows roads, towns, service areas, public phones in isolated areas, physical features relevant to the road user (such as steep gradients) etc on a plain background. It is not printed on a background of a country landscape. |
