To CCP RubberBAND:
Can you please explain, why do you NOT want to rebuild the old UI with this new code? As it is; I want only the old UI to play EVE. I will not further play AND PAY!!! if I am forced to use this terrible idea of unified inventory. I want the copy of the old UI back. Recreate it and make the behavior the same behavior of the old UI. Nothing less is acceptable for me. Sorry. But thats my point.
After more than 4 years I do not intent to adapt to this crap Idea of unified windows. NEVER! I can't play EVE at present. Because of THIS: http://i50.tinypic.com/2ez1wz4.jpg |

a few quick things i'd like to see brought back.
1. An altogether option of using the old system. no fixes no anything, just the exact way it used to be.
seeing how that won't happen here are some ideas.
That is correct, the old system will not come back. We also cannot support two separately coded Inventory systems. The Unified Inventory is here to stay, but we will continue to work on it so that it is something everyone can be happy with.
Really? You want to change the UI so that every one is happy again but absolute decline to solve the problem itself? The Problem Ms. RubberBAND is, that WE DO NOT WANT THE WHOLE IDEA OF YOUR CRAP UNIFIED UI! You can try to change or improve as much as you want. But I will never accept this crap of UI now! Make the behavior of the new UI like the behavior of the old!
Improving the UI to a point that averyone loves - without changing? LOL! You can spare this work! This wont work! Recreate the old UI. THAT IS THE ONLY WAY! I can't play EVE at present. Because of THIS: http://i50.tinypic.com/2ez1wz4.jpg |

ZaBob wrote:When you loot a container in space, instead of closing the container, you switch the window to the cargohold. That's always an extra, unwanted window. THAT one, you newly introduced. THAT one, get rid of.
PLEASE ... if I want to access my cargo while undocked I just click on the cargo button. When I'm clearing after a mission and loot 30+ containers I neither want to have my cargo open all the time nor do I want to see it pop open again and again and again and again ... this is beyond annoying and something that could make me consider giving feedback through account management.

I think I know exactly where you're coming from. Including the reasons you didn't mention. However, to stay in your analogy, sometimes, when the bricks in the lower section of the wall are severely flawed, the whole building will come down if it's solidity is tested under stress.
Btw, I appreciate, that you came to talk to the people here. Thanks.

Quote:We are discussing being able to open up separate windows with unique tree views, so a corporation window might only have the divisions in the tree view. Please elaborate if I missed the point here somehow.
YES
but can I add something to that? Right now if you open a new window, you can then drag that window into a tab by bring it over another window.
so...
why not just let me create a new item window tab by dragging an icon from the tree view itself onto the tab area for an item window? I love setting up tabs, and if each tab could have different or filtered tree views that would be badass.

Furthermore I will not longer wait till your Devs are back from holiday.

It is about your company CCP and your game EVE. You really want to wait till all Devs are back after their undeserved holiday?
Yeah wait! But after your Dev's holiday a lot of other players might be gone!
Why do you not bring out your Devs crap ideas AFTER their holidays? When they are back and stay the next few month in company? You change things in a way no one ever wants and go to holiday? Thats not intelligent.
just get lost already, you weren't going to stick around long anyways, eve is always changing. Nothing will stop that, some people left over the neo neocom, go join them. In the last month eve has gained overall 15,000 subs. The new UI is not the terrible piece of junk you say "we" don't want.
I don't remember who made you a CSM member so you could speak for the whole community.
But i speak for myself when I say, just leave eve already. your posts are not constructive and are just wasting the poor devs time who had to read your post. It literally is just a rant. congratz.

Can you tell them when they get back, that we are all very disapoint' and that they should put back 'right click' shortcut to the different bays, like fuel, drones, ship maintainance bay and so on... I find myself frustratede everyday when I want to access those bays... when I right click my ship and can't find them anymore... it actually takes longer to open them now unless you already have the inventory window up... ALL THE GOD DAMN TIME! :) sorry for my rage, but the unified inventory was the worste mistake since the Jita uprise... it's not as bad as... but in the annoyance factor... it's extremly high! removeing features, just because added another feature isn't always the best idea and as a minimum, they should proberly have asked us all what we thought about it... besides that, theres some minor tweaks that can make the new inventory fine... it does look neat'er than the old one...
but what about the ability add shortcuts in the neocom to different inventory areas... like ship hangar? and if you added these shortcuts in the neocom, they would always open in a new window... you know... like before they broke the inventory system to our dislike?
I also noticed that when I am flying towards a wreck really fast that I want to loot... and I am desperately clicking it... when I fly past the wreck because im too fast... it opens my cargo bay instead of the wreck (because I went out of range I assume...) this is also extremely annoying |

With a 3D Preview of items right there on the right with tabbed information underneath. I know CCP alluded to something like this, but that would be really awesome :)

load of cow crap.
2/3 accounts are now not paying you any isk.
I'm sure you'll tell us when were happy again, right? Like other business your job is based on keeping customers happy. Your changes were crap for this and its a huge part of the logistics of the game. People are still not happy. Put your fingers back to work and cobble it back together the way it was. Course maybe you may want older characters to leave.
There are lots of folks who arn't going to come back now. Unfortuneately there are really "other" things to do besides EVE. When the 3rd account is up well see ya in some other MMO.
Still sad to see things still so borken and no end in sight.

Not being able to drag ships/items to the station window tab unless you have the relevant type set is frustrating as all hell. Used to be I could drag a bunch of stuff there and the ships would go to the ship tab and the items would go to the items tab no matter which was active. Now I have to pick out the items and select the items tab and then do the ships and it's another couple of seconds I won't ever get back because whoever designed this new system obviously never plays the game to any significant degree. |

When an item is being dragged and mouse is hovering over the top or bottom 10% of the scroll bar, the tree should slowly scroll up or down. |

Why an scrollbar or a tree view at all? Double clicks -> two seperate windows-> drag&drop-> job done THIS was the way it formerly was. The best solution compared to the dumb idea of tree view, scrollbars or unified inventory. Again: implement a checkbox for the behavior of the old UI. Double clicks, right clicks and seperate windows AS DEFAULT! I can't play EVE at present. Because of THIS: http://i50.tinypic.com/2ez1wz4.jpg |

I have been (mis)using the new inventory for quite a while now, and in general I like it quite a lot and prefer it over the dozens of inventory screens that clutter my entire screen. However, I have been encountering few specific usuability issues I hit my head against often. I just describe problematic use case I encounter and suggest a possible solution, but truth be told I have no clue if those are feasible or whether my solution wont result in other problems.
My observation is that a lot of trouble or annoyance comes from (unintentionally) dragging an item(type) onto the wrong node. Occassionly I prefer to view both source and destination containers, which is somewhat difficult right now.
Some use cases I found the easiest way to open the inventory while in station is to just double click my ship in hangar :) * Awesome now the inventory tree opens, with the ship inventory - makes perfect sense, however, I wish to see my station items. * Also the tree is hidden => Perhaps shortcuts will help?
When I empty a container, specifically a jump freighter, I tend to hit CTRL-A and drag to item hangar. * Result: all ships remain in the jump freighter and I happily jump to my next destination only to discover my JF still contains the ships. The inverse happens as well, I (unintentionally) throw items into the ship hangar instead of item hangar and they refuse to move an inch. => Altho I am generally not infavor of systems trying to behave too 'intelligent' in this case a bit more intelligence will help I think. When I throw items in the ship hangar, or ships in the item hangar then my intention is to move from their current container into the station. Make it so?
Now it gets on a slippery slope with regarding to too much 'intelligence' in the system. I drag a ship onto my carrier * system deligently tells me the ship doesnt fit in cargo => perhaps I intended to move into ship maint bay?
I drag fuel into drone bay => perhaps intended to move into fuel bay?
Move ship on top of other ship => perhaps intended to move into ship hangar
Move item on top of other item (used to be problem with old inventory * not stackable => move item into parent hangar

I must say I'm not a fan, but I can live with most of the new inventory. However I would like a way of getting straight to the ship hanger from the neocom with one click while in the hanger. Like the ship hanger from the old inventory system, or the Ships button in the Captain's Quarters. |

Id just like to give my view on the new inventory from a player who plays EvE on and of since 2004.
Id like to first state that i am not jaded in the sense that im "used" to the old things, since i often take breaks from the game. I also have been spared of fueling POSes in my playtime.
But the new inventory, with tree view, shift klicks etc is ******* awesome. Extreemly easy to jump into and understand for anyone who has ever used a windows system ever before.
It feels smooth, clean and AWESOME.
For the first time playing eve i didnt get e headache on all the damn buttons for all the damn different inventories, drone bays, fuelbays etc... Its just 1 klick to access it all. And if i want to focus a hangar or ship cargo hold, i just shift klick it and i get a dedicated window for it. AWESOME!
Less windows, with more info showned in effective manner.
I just wanted to add some positivity in here for the new system, that has made EvE look mor elike a game and less like windows 98. TY CCP and please keep improving the inventory in this direction :) |

Last year on podcast and forum I heard the UI was crap. CCP puts a post on the new feature and ideas thread to gather feed back,
The make changes , to inventory control, making the organization more similare with windows 7, the have been making continuous changes in response to the player base.
I have yet to fuel a pos , but so far I have found the new UI azaming, eventhough it taking am alittle while to relearn it.
I do agree this change is needed as the game out grows its original design with ships lik the rorqual has 6 separate cargo holds Fuel, ore,cargo, drone, corp hanger, ship maintenance bay,not including the 7 tabs in the cop hanger.
. To help reduce window to monitor at the same time I would like be able join tabs lice corp and alliance and have the show up as different color typing and a toggle that will allow me reply to a specific channel, like city of heros sort of .
This way I only have to monitor 1tab adding more and more less active channels into the onI am watching. That should free up several windows. Also make the text boxed adjustable for layering so if I am clour blind I can send an empy dialog box behind the capacitor symbol , allowing me to maked my own letterbox look to it.
Hopefully after the universal inventory is complete other UI issue can be addressed.
Keep up the good work CCP Some day I will have the internet and be able to play again. |

The question is: If it is possible to open new seperate windows via shift+click or some other mysterious sh!t shortcut, WHY THE HELL is it NOT possible to set a selection of new seperate windows as default within the ESC-menue? Looting is now such a fugging bad thing!
And NO!!! Stop the bad work CCP!! Please stop it at once! Stop renaming sh!t, stop to indroduce or change things no one ever wanted. Fire Arrow and his team and focus on performance issues again! I can't play EVE at present. Because of THIS: http://i50.tinypic.com/2ez1wz4.jpg |

I am absolutely positive that you can mask the current UI to act like the old UI in function.
Add option to add buttons to get to locations that open as secondary windows. Always minimize tree view Show/Hide Isk evaluation double click new window toggle. close wreck window after "loot all" etc option to expand right click menu for ship bays/hangers
all this backpedaling is embarrassing. In the dev blog CCP Arrow asked us to confirm that one window was the answer. on sisi we said no it wasnt. and why. What's going on in Iceland? the week after it was on TQ and the problems started to pour in, what were you thinking? its been long enough that someone with authority over the project should have come on and presented how to do everything faster/easier then then the old UI.
all we have been given is workarounds that are slower and harder to use then the old UI was.
Where is the CCP video showing us how to use the UI? Its not possible to please all the people all the time, but it sure as hell is possible to Displease all the people, most of the time.

I think the main problem with the unified inventory is that there are a lot of shortcuts that players don't know exist. Shift double click to open a wreck in a new window, that closes when you loot all for example. When you have things that happen when you click, vs when you single click, vs when you double click, when you shift click, when you shift double click, etc. then the system gets too complex.
They simply need to standardize a way that things work: Single click changes the focus of the child window. Double click opens a new child window. Every child window needs to have a persistence.
Really though, they need to let go of the reins, and just make the UI client side, and let us mod it how we like. Most other games have known for a while that a default UI pleases no one, and never can. Maybe I want the market quickbar to have the info button on the left, so that it doesn't cover the extra text that i added. Maybe i want my wreck container window to simply be the Loot All button. Maybe i don't need a border around every window that simply adds to the limited viewing portal i already have. There are countless other examples that i would change that others would not, and that's the point of letting us mod them ourselves.

When you have things that happen when you click, vs when you single click, vs when you double click, when you shift click, when you shift double click, etc. then the system gets too complex.
They simply need to standardize a way that things work: Single click changes the focus of the child window. Double click opens a new child window. Every child window needs to have a persistence.
Really though, they need to let go of the reins, and just make the UI client side, and let us mod it how we like. Most other games have known for a while that a default UI pleases no one, and never can. Maybe I want the market quickbar to have the info button on the left, so that it doesn't cover the extra text that i added. Maybe i want my wreck container window to simply be the Loot All button. Maybe i don't need a border around every window that simply adds to the limited viewing portal i already have. There are countless other examples that i would change that others would not, and that's the point of letting us mod them ourselves.
I had trouble understanding your explanation of all the ways to click/dbl-click... Yah, way too complex and NO TUTORIAL. If they made something so complex that nobody can figure out the (assumed) true coolness, they should have made a tutorial. They still can, but I think CCP is masochistic and likes all the player driven abuse. So, a tutorial is out of the question as it may stop the verbal abuse.
+1 to the modding community idea! But I have a feeling that CCP is either too paranoid or too arrogant to allow the modding community to get their hands on a client side UI code. Didn't they start charging some high fees for the API dev set ? No, I don't think CCP will give it away even though all of us know that the modding community will do a MUCH BETTER JOB (typically) for free to the players.
I have a much more fundamental concern: has CCP learned from this debacle, and will they continue to publish utter crap when warned by the player-testers on SiSI ? I may still hang around and wait to see some of the ship balancing stuff. But if CCP ever pulls another debacle like the UI, I'm perma-gone. There is simply too many other fun options and I don't need this continued frustration.

Just let me right-click on my ship to open my drone bay (like I can do with the cargo bay). PLEASE! |
