Gnean Tyrova	Posted - 2011.06.26 14:30:00 - [61] Edited by: Gnean Tyrova on 26/06/2011 14:30:43 x Bring back the old icons please. Possibly even the old graphics, but I will admit the new guns are alot more interesting. Regardless, the old icons need to be back ( or I'll start trying to use salvagers and tractor beams on NPCs -_- )
Suboran Gallente Best Path Inc. Cascade Imminent	Posted - 2011.06.26 14:43:00 - [62] X mroe than 100% agree, no need to change the old icons that were pretty much iconic. 1400mm arty looks like a brown potato popper now.
Zel Nughat Amarr Nughat Corp	Posted - 2011.06.26 14:50:00 - [63] X agree completely, icons are fubar, most of them have the same range of colors, now by looking at a locked target and asigning turrets to it, you can't tell what it is that you asigned at a glance, and the icons to the side of the target are oversized and blurred by it ------------------------------------------- The moon is a terrible mistress... ...who walks the night with demons of dread.
Ben Fenix Caldari	Posted - 2011.06.26 14:55:00 - [64] Edited by: Ben Fenix on 26/06/2011 14:55:52 X Makes me wonder if they had seen them before they have implemented them. The icons look like 8bit sprites. Terrible. They almost all look the same. __________________________________ Space is massive. Humanity is not.
Nasty Nigel	Posted - 2011.06.26 14:58:00 - [65] x new effects are cool new icons are crap
Prince of Nigeria	Posted - 2011.06.26 14:59:00 - [66] New turrets? ****ing awesome. I love them. New icons? Ow, my eyes.
Portmanteau Gallente CTRL-Q	Posted - 2011.06.26 14:59:00 - [67] x yes the icons sux donkey **** but they look ok on the ships Turbefield for CEO
The Old Chap	Posted - 2011.06.26 15:00:00 - [68] X Yet another example of over-development of something that was fine before. A waste of dev time and effort, definately a missed opportunity to fix something else that could have been worthwhile, like a new ship.
Iluminat Minmatar Sharp Dressed Man	Posted - 2011.06.26 15:00:00 - [69] x
ChYph3r Multiplex Gaming	Posted - 2011.06.26 15:01:00 - [70] X I love how auto cannons are always spinning! -------------------------------------------------- CCP Greed best Greed!

Synistar Torr	Posted - 2011.06.26 16:30:00 - [71] XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX And to color the turrets black.... So my target is in space. Did you know that CCP ? And what color is most of space ? Black you say ? Wow, very good. How well DOES BLACK ON BLACK SHOW ? Did you even ****ing look at it before you introduced it ? Whoever colored the new turret icons, you should be fired. You flat out suck at your job. You are a con man for getting hired at CCP and CCP you are even stupider for allow this dumbass to work for you. Oh ya, I can't tell the difference between my tractor beams and salvagers. What's that you say ? You can't either so we'll fix it by putting a white diamond on it ? haahahahahahahahahahahaa Fail again you lazy ..... Admit you screwed up and fix the turret icons please.
Trader Billie	Posted - 2011.06.26 16:40:00 - [72] You know i actually agree. I like the new turrets, however I hate the icons for them there very dark and hard to see when active. I can hardly see them when i'm mining cant tell what rock i'm mining without squinting. but other than that i do like the new turrets.
Julien Brellier	Posted - 2011.06.26 16:45:00 - [73] The new turrets themselves rock. Great animations and in keeping with the character of each of the races. The new icons SUCK. It's virtually impossible to tell what is what and what turret you have activated on which target. Either give us the old icons back or make the new ones better definined rather than just an amourphous blob thumbnail of the turret itself
Komen Gallente The Night Crew	Posted - 2011.06.26 16:49:00 - [74] X The turrets themselves look great. The turret icons in the UI are barely distinguishable blobs of color. The old icons were clearly distinguished and brilliant. Please return to those.
Mira Stargazer Caldari Epic Warfare	Posted - 2011.06.29 21:17:00 - [75] X - I can't even tell salvagers from tractors anymore
Tau Prime Black Barrel Black Habitat	Posted - 2011.06.29 21:19:00 - [76] xxx ================================================ Prior Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance
Mulm Minmatar Burning Napalm Northern Coalition.	Posted - 2011.06.29 22:04:00 - [77] Yes, the icons are absolutely terrible, they are all black/brown/grey blobs. What the hell were they thinking.
Leon Razor Gallente	Posted - 2011.06.29 23:49:00 - [78] Raised this concern in the original feedback thread. New icons need to be much crisper.
Enna Shendara	Posted - 2011.06.30 00:03:00 - [79] The old icons were fine. Like someone said, they were original art. Icons should be stylised, and easily recognisable. Its not important that they look similar to the turret models, what matters is that I can tell what they are at a glance.
Cletus Graeme North Eastern Swat Pandemic Legion	Posted - 2011.06.30 02:41:00 - [80] Edited by: Cletus Graeme on 30/06/2011 02:42:02 I love the new turrets & also like the fact that they don't reveal themselves until you actually fire - which makes it impossible to know what people have fitted until they actually shoot at you - a nice stealth nerf right there!. The icons, however, are horrible. Too dark and difficult to identify. Either make them a lot clearer or bring back the old ones.

Cornullus Rage	Posted - 2011.06.30 02:46:00 - [81] dark gun icon on an outer space background. yeah, that is a bad idea.
Terminal Insanity Minmatar Convex Enterprises	Posted - 2011.06.30 02:48:00 - [82] the icons need to be made brighter, i swear every time i see my Autocannons i think they're offlined
AkJon Ferguson JC Ferguson and Son Ltd Ferguson Alliance	Posted - 2011.06.30 02:51:00 - [83] Yes, they suck. But this is the kind of suck I've grown to expect and accept from CCP. CCP, please return to sucking like this again. The suck is too damn high! Want to buy a monocle?
Jint Hikaru OffWorld Exploration Inc	Posted - 2011.06.30 03:03:00 - [84] I agree totally whit this tread. New turrets are amazing, just what we have been waiting for! Job Well Done!!! The icons... TERRIBAD! Did the testers even try racking up a Battleship with some different highslot items and then using the icons??? The main purpose of an icon is to be instantly recognizable at a glance (and to look different to the on its next to)!!!!! What was wrong with the old ones?????? --- Jint Hikaru - Miner / Salvager / Explorer / SpaceBum I can tell you that this is one of the moments when we look at what those at CCP will do and less of what they say.
Sha Dar eXceed Inc. No Holes Barred	Posted - 2011.06.30 03:14:00 - [85] X
Sig Sour	Posted - 2011.06.30 03:31:00 - [86] Originally by: Rixiu Agreed. And no it's not because they are "new" and I'm "not used to them". They look horrible, period. Typically I would tell someone this. However in this case, they are just really hard to see. +1 or X w/e
ninjaholic House Aratus Fatal Ascension	Posted - 2011.06.30 03:33:00 - [87] X WHAT THE HELL ARE ÇÇP DOING TO THE GAME? + Support EVE's own IN-GAME fight record tool!
buck herrick SS-20	Posted - 2011.06.30 03:36:00 - [88] X fully agree. even with my shiney new monocle i am unable to distinguish between tractor, salvager. fix this or i will give my monocle to a peasant
Anna Maziarczyk	Posted - 2011.06.30 03:52:00 - [89] Give the ICON guy a break. Its not like he was given much time to do the stupid icons. They were basically created in 2 days by 1 person. The first batch looked even worse. And so they got scrapped. YOU try doing a whole set of icons for an MMORPG in 2 days... ALL BY YOUR FRICKEN SELF. Its not as easy as it looks. The old ones should filter down to Perpetuum within a couple months. If you like those ones so much, then go play Perpetuum. Either way works for US. Now calm down .... The ones we have set aside for the NEX are WAY BETTER. Im talking to management and it looks like we might sell them for HALF of what they were originaly going to sell for. But you didn't hear that from me. $99 is just way too much... for a pack of icons, in a set of 30 packs. I would suggest ONLY buying the sets you need. Don't get juiced for all your money over ICONS...... Greed is Good. $1000 Jeans.
Evenus Battuta	Posted - 2011.06.30 04:56:00 - [90] ôThe first principle of icon is that they must be clear and easy to recognizeö I learnt this when I was in elementary school ,really. But CCP are making far too many mistakes at this level than you can afford to pay attention to. Seems no choice rather than just go with it.
