And read the dev blog which explains how change-averse people can make the new camera behave almost identically to the old one.
They remove old camera and there will be riots. New camera is s*** and have been saying so for months. Broken useless s****.
Same story with the stupid ring they added around the cap display that's supposed to "help navigate." The icon changes I can live with, don't like them but whatever. They don't effect gameplay so much. But who ever is doing this UI work needs to be let go. It's just one worthless, unwanted, nonfunctional change being forced down our throat after another.
(not to mention the new maps and probe scanning. Ppl are still having issue's with those)
I will give them this. At least before forcing this garbage to default they fixed camera rotation during look at. Last I tested it on the test server if you selected an object and hit "track" (though why they needed to force us to hit a button to do that when it worked automatically before is beyond me) and you then tried to rotate the camera to look around the camera would detach from your ship and rotate around a point in empty space. Completely destroying any sense of situational awareness or even giving you any clue where you ship was at all for that matter. Your ship just completely vanished out of view and would VERY slowly slide back into view after 10 seconds or so. The camera seems to remain on your ship now at least, but the camera movement is all still so horribly clunky/drifty/bouncy that the entire thing is nausea inducing.
So lets see, what have they given us and how much of it is either largely disliked, unwanted, non-functional or just down right abhorred...
New "blurry transparent" UI?
New ui icons?
New module icons?
New overview icons?
Navigational ring thingamajig?
New star map?
New system/probe map?
Changes to dscan min range?
New "improved" camera?
First person camera? lol's
All that and one simple thing that either can't or refuse to do that ppl repeatedly asked to have back that we USED to have but they took away, custom ui colors...
CCP's UI devs and who ever approves their work are more out of touch with the player base than the US government is with US citizens.
