@Players: reverting back is not going to happen, that can not be done in a way it would make any sense. I know it sounds so easy: "revert the code back!". It is not, and never has been easy; not on a codebase this size and complex. However they can change the inventroy, they can go forward, and shape it how you ask them to. That they have not changed it before release based on the sisi feedback was a huge mistake, but it can not be undone now. They have apologized for that, now they have to move forward. It is time for you too to do the same, either way.

All joking aside here, it is my belief that the problem with the Unified inventory system is not the system itself but CCP's developers inability to understand why this system is not suitable for EVE play.

Each aspect of game play in EVE is governed by a series of requirements regarding the layout and amount of information presented to the player at any given moment.
A request for the contents of a ships cargo hold, a can or both are two separate sets of inter-actable information which the player could under the old system modify at will to suit there own particular game play requirements, they could also add or subtract at will information they did not need in that context again at will.

This gave the player's usability of the inventory system under all aspects of game play such as ratting, mining, PoS, Station work and many others not mentioned and it is the loss of this total flexibility that has angered so many players.

In return CCP has issued an inventory system that does not fit the requirements of game play as players actually play EVE which gives rise to the idea that CCP actually do not know or understand
the multiple use profiles that players employ when playing the game.

There frank announcement that they will not revert this system under any circumstances even though players have expressed a requirement that they do so, explained in detail why they need this and how bad they feel about yet again being ignored is a further indication of the depth of the divide between CCP and the players of EVE.

This I feel is a sad indictment of CCP, it's Developers and Management were the ego of a few members of that once close knit team is doing in reality terminal damage to there product.

As a direct result of this latest mess and the realisation that CCP has not got it's house in order in reality on any level my decision is to compress my accounts as early as I can and pay for the residual with Plex and not credit card as I do now, in other words you are not getting paid for failure.

Since this update again as a direct result of this inventory system being forced into game my game play has become stunted, tedious, uninteresting and reduced to a minimum required for skill changing and PoS servicing from which I will pay for the Plex required for a single account rather than four cash paid accounts I currently run.

It is from this vantage point I shall watch with interest as CCP developers slowly roast and die in the fire of there product INFERNO.

LONG LIVE SONY.

But for sure! REbuild the old UI with the new CODE. This may take time but is possible. What once was present can be there again.
Just compile the code!

But it is easy. They have a goddamn version control system, all they have to do is git checkout CRUCIBLE_1_2_3 or whatever they tagged it. If they were dumb and didn't tag it, they can still look at their commit log.

And revert the whole database with your progress on the last week, your wealth, your skill points? The missile effects and the wardec system and everything they released?

The more I think about this steaming pile of **** the more infuriated I get! I will go on record and say **** you CCP and **** your ****** interface!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ban my account for all I care as I've already unsubbed; banning me will do absolutely nothing as you've already destroyed the game I came to love. The old interface worked more than fine and the new interface is a steaming pile of ****! Everyone already knows you "CANT POLISH A FUCKIN TURD."

You guys who worked on the missile effects great job!!!!!!!!!!!

Those of you looking for people to blame for this abortion look no further than these fail people that need to lose their jobs:

Game Design Director :Craig Scott
Lead Game Designer :Kristoffer Touborg
Game Designers :Marcus Andrews, Carl Christian Frederiksen, Stef+ín Fri+¦riksson, Guilhem Marin, Hrafnkell Sm+íri +ôskarsson, Matthew Woodward
UI Designers :+ûrvar Halld+¦rsson, Steinar P+ílsson


In particular these 2 fail individuals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! +ûrvar Halld+¦rsson, Steinar P+ílsson Those **** stains need to be fuckin fired!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your applauding those retards on this steaming pile of ****?????????????? The more I look at this game the more mad I get . How about this ladies and gentleman;

These ass hats are the people PAID to protect us from **** being implemented into our game:

QA Leads :Helga Bjarnad+¦ttir, Dave Mitchell
Testers :Gabriel Bell, Linzi Campbell, Kenny Crowe, Hei+¦ar Eir+¡ksson, Charlie Eriksen, Aaron Fell, Jaimie Fryer, Hinrik Gylfason, Ben Hall, Ben Hunter, Simon K+¦nig, Daniel Preineder, Scott Rhodes, Andrew Robinson, Stefan Schubert, Ian Shiels, Sami Solkinen
e4e Contractors :Jesse Alfstad, Gary Bannerman, Iain Bex, Alexander Clowes, Gregor Chalmers, Aya Fujio, Chisato Goto, Benn Green, Euan Hislop, Ryotaro Hoshino, Satoko Hotchi, Nicholas Inglis, Rowan Liddell, Neil Logan, Tormod Maclean, John Nelson, Chance Newman, Michael Read, John Ree, Victoria Sinton, Sayaka Speirs, Drew Spencer, Mark Stuart, Will Vasquez
QA Manager CCP Asia :Bing Mikael Xi
Testers :Wenqi Guo, Justice Liu, Daniel Wu
EVE China Localization QA :Lion Chen, Marshall Ao

The most laughable part of this is the testers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF did they test?????????????????????? As I said, I already unsubbed, I can care less if they ban my chat priveldeges nor do I care if they ban me from this game for that matter. Can't play a game with broken mechanics so banning me prior to my remaining time expires is saving me endless aggravation.......

And revert the whole database with your progress on the last week, your wealth, your skill points? The missile effects and the wardec system and everything they released?

I said done in a sensible way, what you suggest may take many weeks, maybe one or two month to do so. In that time they can do many improvments to the new.

And revert the whole database with your progress on the last week, your wealth, your skill points? The missile effects and the wardec system and everything they released?

But for sure! REbuild the old UI with the new CODE. This may take time but is possible. What once was present can be there again.
You can build the body of a ball pen out of plastic; wood, metal or what else. Different materials but always the same function.
Just compile the code!

...And where is the CSM ? This is their job, to present customer concerns to CCP.

Please explain this, since I just have been senior software analyst for 20 years so I am certainly newbie in this area:

- You had a partially re-factored system that was not ready for production. It's not just about the bugs, but judging by the "scarce" amount of feedback you are receiving, it lacks of fundamental gameplay features.

- You knew it'd take weeks to implement the missing fundamental, game breaking gameplay features.
If you did not (odd), you know about this now.


Despite the above premises:

- You will take weeks if not longer to implement the showstopper missing features but will keep it in production and will keep having a plethora of annoyed players.

- After weeks and weeks in the best case we will achieve... the same stuff we had for 9 years. Just slower and taking unneeded screen real estate.


What's the rationale behind this?

Where is or where was ?

Just check it. Before Sisi release. LOL
This is our brown noser CSM without inventory try.

Our UI people have been on a tear lately, reshaping EVE's many interfaces and making the experience of using them a lot more pleasant.

Please read the latest on your user friendly EVE future in this blog from CCP Arrow and CCP Optimal.

user friendly^^ LOLOLOLOL


I want some of the drugs too

good to know they do nothing, except drinking and doing stupid stuff, like doing ermmm nothing and drinking

server stats from http://eve-offline.net/?server=tranquility do show a nice and steady downwards fall

yeah you have a point, seems a good strategy from CCP to wait until its to late for a roleback

...The first improvement MUST BE to rebuild ALL the functions of the old UI including hundreds of available windows. If YOU dont like this idea fine. ...

I've been racking my brain trying to figure out where I've seen this "inventory tree" style before, and then I realized where I've seen it:
