The missile effects is part of the inventory ? The amarr ship colours is part of the inventory ? The frigate cosmetics is part of the inventory ? The inventory not necessary for saving your skillpoints to database. Dont be fool. ...
You talking idiotic things. So, stop it.

I answered the question "why can't they just revert back to a previous version?" - in that context my answer was correct, they can not do that. Reverting back to a previous version would also mean to roll back everything, including the database.

Your statement is correct in a logical level, these features are not part of each other, but they are in a single code base, and thus can not be separated easily (only with a lot of work). The moment since they have merged the new feature branches into a single code base, they can not move back, they can only move forward, and fix this new inventory.

And they can move forward with a lot less people playing the game...

I still don't think they will, since they can still try and add/change the system so it works "similar" to the old one and retain there "vision" of the new one.

Just to clarify, when I say "we're happy with" I mean getting the inventory into a shape that's satisfactory to the playerbase.

No one has at any point denied there is a problem. The fact that I'm telling you we're willing to basically patch this feature every week should tell you as much. I'll happily put it in writing though (again): This feature is not what we want it to be, for that you have our apologies and we'll do everything we can to fix it.

Yes, but how long is this going to take ?
A few fixes every tuesday ?

For me that looks like crappy gameplay for at least several months if not years ..
(While before the patch, the game was playable, now it's not)

I hope CCP understands the somewhat unpleased players .

We've been busy taking in feedback about the Unified Inventory and figuring out what to tackle first, and how. CCP Soundwave has put together a blog on the subject. Please read the blog here, and make sure you give us your feedback right here in the thread.

At this stage I don't like the new feature either, it has serious bugs and design flaws. (I do like to have open 5-10 windows too.) But let us move forward, and let them improve this new thing. It may actualy work.

In general though, I'll happily push changes to the inventory out every single week until we're happy. That's something I don't think we've ever done before, but if that's what it takes to make this good, then so be it.

They did made a huge error releasing this. They have apologiezed, and this is the priority now to fix. Thats all they can do.

I did not say I like it, I'm in a WH, this new feature makes my life harder, and not by a bit. I said we should move forward, because moving back is not an option.

What happens if each of the 1000+ players puts a blue can in front of jita 4-4?

One useful (at least to me) thing that I am missing from the unified inventory is in the filters. I would love to be able to define a filter for the value of a stack, i.e. the "Valuable items" would show only items where the value of the stack is above the specified amount.

Other than that, great changes....you'll get there

this week in the unified inventory

Hello Spacefriends

As mentioned previously, we are not at all happy with the state of the unified inventory. To everyone that is currently struggling with it, you have my apologies.

As a remedy, weGÇÖre going to try and provide you with weekly changes to it, until we get it into a state where youGÇÖre happy with it. Our first group of fixes will go out Tuesday, May 29th, and are as follows:

Looting: Cargo containers and wrecks will function the same. Having multiple wrecks or containers open should be easy to loot as you can just click GÇ£loot allGÇ¥ and it will automatically go to the next item on the list instead of your ships cargohold. There is an added performance increase as well.
Ship Hangars: Your active ship will be displayed in the ship hangar. It was a bit confusing that it would disappear. All assembled ships will now be displayed, regardless of activity state.
Ship Hangars: When you have a ship hangar open but switch ships, the hangars for the old ships will still be listed as GÇ£active shipGÇ¥. That has been corrected.
Containers: Containers are sorted alphabetically. That makes a lot of sense.
Performance: WeGÇÖve applied fixes that let you handle larger numbers of items more gracefully. It should be a great deal faster now.
Performance: Handling large numbers of POS modules was extremely slow. That has been remedied and it should be back to pre-patch performance.
Errors: Action failed messages would pop up if you had two cargoholds open and tried to open a third. This has been fixed as well.
Corp Hangars: If a corporation has impounded items present in a station, directors will have a GÇ£release itemsGÇ¥ button which will give you access to the impounded assets.

ThatGÇÖs it for Tuesday, but we will not stop there. As soon as these improvements are published, we start working on the next round of changes. WeGÇÖll update what those are and when they go out shortly after.

Again, you guys have my deepest apologies for this situation. WeGÇÖll do whatever we can to rectify it. We're going to continue to take your valuable feedback and add it to the list of changes we want to make.



More changes are coming, I'll do another update on Tuesday (May 29th).

DUST now controls EVE, or How CCP sold it's soul.

The recent now 60 plus page complaint thread regarding the new UNIFACE, and CCP's responses to this led me to do a little research on the current state of CCP and it's involvement with SONY.

This quickly brought me to this web page http://www.grapevine.is/Home/ReadArticle/CCP-And-Sony-Team-Up from which you can see indications of how SONY's take over of CCP was already a done deal in regard to DUST.

How deeply DUST will effect game play on EVE has already been indicated by the introduction of CQ and virtual goods, something SONY must have been slobbering over due to the money that can be made by them from you, eventually on the surface CCP back tracked and gave the player base an option button, but it is still there in it's entirety and can at any time SONY choose to push the issue be made mandatory, probably the same time that DUST is finally released.

Further information can be found in this link http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-03-08-sony-removed-psn-barriers-for-free-to-play-mmo-dust-514

I will leave you to assess how this will effect your game play and effect it will as SONY muscle in to EVE to maximise there profits, http://www.tentonhammer.com/dust514/news/ccp-and-sony-negotiate-dust-514-virtual-items-policy

Why only SONY and the PS3, well that can be found in Microsofts policy of 'If we can't control it then it's not happening' on the XBOX', and SONY had to make a lot of changes to it's operating policy to make DUST happen and a company like that does not make such changes unless they see major dollar signs with multiple zero's on it http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-03-08-sony-removed-psn-barriers-for-free-to-play-mmo-dust-514

Hence the Unified inventory 'Feature', direct from Console gamer hell and this is why CCP ran this abomination on SISI, not for player base feed back as stated but to sort out server side interface issues between DUST and EVE as this console game will run on EVE servers, The lag issue and it's clanky operation are normal for console gamers, they understand such things fully and game delays for them are a non issue, scrolling through menu's is not a problem, this is why CCP will not revert the interface, they can't, it's not there call but that of SONY.

The new skins for ships are nothing to do with EVE but are a direct offshoot of console graphics were partial rendering and bland colours of items is again a non issue and the character design interface, again console based, easy to integrate into DUST, Module name changes probably due to conflict issues with DUST inventories and changes to the universe map will be one of the next issues we face as certain aspects of EVE continue to be dumbed down for integration with consoles.

And the one of the casualties I am sure will be listed fairly soon will be PLEX, a device that allows players to play the game free, a thorn that SONY will find so irritating they will force it out as soon as possible, the excuses are already lining up and have been for months quietly in the back ground along with a long series of current and soon to be introduced 'Features'.

So to believe that this thread will illicit any meaningful changes from CCP on the issue of the Unified Inventory and it's problems in game is not going to gain anything, again it's not there call but that of SONY, a body that we the EVE player base have no interface with, that is unless you pay to play DUST.

I will leave you with CCP's current answer to player complaints.
