I have 5 labs for different things and now moving stuff between these is a nightmare where before it was just work. What the heck was wrong with the old system? Who asked for it to be "fixed"?
All my corp hangers and structures, which were so easy to use via the tabs I created years ago, are now a haunted house of horrors to navigate witha resulting zillion windows and many more clicks required to to the jobs less efficiciently.
This is progress?
No, this is not progress. In RL, I am a Systems Analyst for a local healthcare facility. I've seen lot's of attempts at make a working, usable system "better" by adding nifty buttons, controls, and other crap that turns the perfectly usable system into a jumbled mess that is difficult if not impossible to use. Guess what CCP just did to us? Yep - crap.
I don't claim to be the "be all, know all" when it comes to proper UI design. I do know when I see a system take a major step backwards. Believe me, this is one of them.
Example: At one of my POSs, I wanted to move some Scandium from a silo to my ship's hold. I could have sworn that it moved to the hold, I onlined the silo, and warped to another POS to deposit there for further processing. Surprise, it didn't transfer into the hold. I had to warp back to the first POS and try again. Now in the old system, I'd have had two windows open and would have been able to visually confirm the Scandium transferred as I expected it to without having to click on some branch in a tree to move from one storage location to another. Simple, clean, easy to use. In this new system as explained in earlier posts, it is difficult at a POS to find the correct silo/hanger to pull from or drop into. I can only imagine the issues I'll have when I try to salvage tens or hundreds of wrecks if this isn't fixed.
CCP - There is absolutely no way you can convince me that you tested this inventory system with POS management and believed that it is an improvement. Further, this code was on your test system for some time. I can't believe that anyone who tried this on a POS could have liked it either. Please, either take this system out and put the old system back in or give us the ability to choose the system we want to use. The current system is unplayable... |
