One hour before downtime, and then 30/15/5 minutes before, there is a popup message to tell the players that the server is coming down. This is all well and good, but it completely shuts down your User Interface until you click the OK button.
Can we change this? I haven't lost anything yet, but Im waiting for the day one of my ships explodes because I can't click on anything due to this popup window.
Can this be changed so that the window still shows up, but doesn't shut down your overview.

Frequent annoyance for me as well. This is an issue for anyone who plays before downtime. |

Despite corp affiliation I agree completely with this. The day when I die to a gate camp when I can't cloak because that message pops up is the day I **** and moan and keep playing eve anyway. A good change.

Known a couple of people to lose close frigate battles because of it.

Exactly this, downtime is during aussie prime time (9:30pm).
And with living in a wormhole, you end up running the world of alts all at once. |

Doesnt effect bot users, since its close to servers shutting down anyways, but it DOES effect players in those awkward timezones, im all for this, as i used to play around downtime, and nothing is more frustrating then trying to sneak-haul some moon-ores out of a lowsec pos and having to log out 13 jumps from highsec, and try to coordinate logons afterwards to get the fleet back on at the same time, not a game breaking issue, bhut definetly a severe inconvenience.
(note: i dont hang in lowsec anymore, just what my old corp did, so i know the feels of downtime suckage) |

Good idea, not being able to activate reppers/boosters, or various other important modules at the right time because popup can really break things. The guns may not shut off, but you had the booster turned off to save cap until you needed it?

Truth. It is this. You don't escape EVE. It could be the worst experience of your life, and you'd still come crawling back.

Make the whole UI turn red with alarm sounds. People will get the message without the need to block the UI.
Make it idiot-proof and someone will make a better idiot. |

This has been asked for for years. CCP believes that the box killing you is better than DT killing you... or some bull thing like that.

There is no reason why this message cannot be done in one of the following ways:
- Same box, same message, just don't lock my controls out.
- Flashy red message in every chat channel you're in.
- Opt out message, like all the other warnings in the game.
- Only show the message on session change.
All of these would be acceptable, although the last one would cause annoyance with having to click the box every time you warped to a new gate. The warning is fine, I have no issue with it being there, the issue is that it completely locks me out of controlling my ship.
It has killed people in the past, it almost killed me tonight, and there is no reason for it to do that. |

This needs to change. Death to modal windows.
Well.. I can sort of accept modal windows if it is a chat invite from a GM or something important like that but for anything less? Just NO!
