We will watch what you do, not what you say.
So, not a mention that what was promised in the 'Friday' blog wasn't delivered in the patch. Exactly three non-POS improvements were promised:
1. If you use a shortcut to open a specific inventory/bay, that window will open in the compact and separate mode.
'Done' according to 'A' in patch notes below, but still broken; I filed a bug report on this yesterday. Verdict: Not Done
2. Inventories like the ship hangar, item hangar and item containers will maintain their position/layout when separated, even if you undock and then redock. This is the 'big fix' but it magically vanished from the patch. Verdict: Not Done
3. When you want to open an inventory in a separate window, you can now drag and drop it out of the main window as an alternative to the shift + click way of opening it. Also vanished from the patch notes. Verdict: Not Done
The actual patch notes for Friday listed these:
A. Shortcuts to open Inventory locations will now open those locations in a new separate window.
B. The text color in the tree index view of the Unified Inventory is now the same as in other places in the EVE UI, making it more readable when the Inventory is pinned or something other than the default color.
C. Items, Ships, Corporation Divisions and Delivery Inventory windows will now remain open in a station if the user leaves them open when undocking and redocking.
D. Shift click will now focus on or toggle open/closed other windows.
'B' is trivial. 'A' failed. 'C' doesn't affect me, but it's good that it got done. 'D' is more annoyance than improvement.
Bottom Line: P.T. Barnum lives. So much for the 'New CCP.' After all the commotion, I have yet to see a single improvement for looting or mining or even basic inventory management. Canceling my sub just went from 'maybe' to 'yes.' I'll check back after the next expac to see if it ever got fixed all the way.
BTW, Debby and Ernesto and Friends, if it's that hard to fix after the fact, maybe you should have listened to us on SISI and not mucked it up in the first place. But...thanks for the carebear tears.
