For those having such a hard time with bleeps, bing, buzzes of in game sounds.... I present this revolutionary in game add on

Soundless

There are clowns putting 100,000 isk bounties on everyone in sight. Now if someone wants to take shots at me so be it; it's EVE, there is no 100% safety anywhere. But the whole point of bounties is undermined if EVERYONE has one on them. That's just nonsense. I think CCP have a bit more refining to do on the new system.

CCP must let us know *NOW* wht the Christmas present(s) will be. If any, this year I suspect a lump of coal.

If the present isn't something absolutely spectacular, my subscription dies now, and they don't even get the benefit of one extra month. However, just to be clear, the subscription will be cancelled.

This just gives them an additional month of income during which their devs can find new jobs, as I suspect there will be a huge number of cancelled subscriptions. Again.

god remiel would argue gallente space ain't green if I said so

SALVAGE DRONES ARE BROKEN

and trolls who have to counter every single thing people say won't change that

This thread is twice as long as it needs to be because of Remiel Pollard

Can we get some new posting rules. :P

idk if its just me but its hard to see the pics of the ship your shooting.

Please explain to the rest of us how we use this tool to remove only the annoying pointless sounds and leave the useful ones.

Once again, just going to reiterate how much more difficult the new targeting UI is for me to use.

I didn't like it from the start, I rageposted about it, and now I've gone and used it for ~2 days in active combat situations flying t1 cruisers (which are great btw, nice job), and I still don't like it.

My issue is that number one, it's very difficult to see at a glance how much hp they are missing. particularly the shield and hull bars becuase there is very little contrast between that bar and whatever you are looking at on screen. I.e. if you're looking at the sun, it's harder to tell. The armor bar is ~ok~ because it has bars of white around it, but overall it's significantly harder to see how much damage somebody has at a quick glance than the old interface.

This is further compounded by the fact that the damage appears in a circle. I've said this before and I'll said it again--humans read in straight lines, not in a circle. When my eyes see the point between the white and the red, I first try to look for a horizontal bar, not a circular bar. It's simply much more difficult to do a quick check on how much damage they have taken--this is especially annoying and relevant when they are active tanking. This is already difficult for just looking at one client, but we all know that many people run more than one at once--and I personally regularly run 3 clients in combat situations all at the same time and being able to alt-tab quickly through them and gather quick information is a must. On that note, I've also noticed the damage seems to lag sometimes on the new targeting ui--not accurately showing how much damage they have taken--sometimes lagging out for a couple of seconds.

My other main issue with the UI aside from the fact that it is less readable than the old UI is that it is also bigger. It takes up a significant amount of room and in a game like eve where I need to have my chat window, my local window, my d-scan, my overview, my fleet window, my drone window, my watchlist, and my hud all setup on the screen, this increase in space taken is not helpful. It is most noticeable when doing targeting ui intensive activities like salvaging in a noctis.

CCP, it is extremely frustrating for me to use the new UI. I will grant that yes, it looks cooler, but in function it is worse than the old UI. It probably works fine for people that don't fight in combat situations where they have to manage ranges on multiple enemy ships, watch multiple ewar situations while taking quick glances at the targeting icon to see damage, but for people that do this, it is simply subpar.

Please don't let your pride of your new system get the most of you, please give us an option to use the old one, it's frustrating to login to the game, excited to play and then have my excitement slowly wane as I keep having to double check and triple check my targeting icons because I couldn't manage to see the damage or the shiptype (as noted in other people's posts, the ship icon is harder to see as well).

I would really appreciate a CCP response on this.

Over the past couple years I've made lots of ambient, drone and dark electronic music because of the EVE Jukebox, fitting music for EVE that I often play while engrossed in game play. I fear CCP has destroyed the motivation to keep producing new music of the sort by removing the jukebox. The jukebox was a good feature for a sandbox, not only for motivating creativity by various artists, but giving players the ability to add to their individual experience and tastes within this sandbox experience. Now we have a choice of a narrow view of music for our sandbox experience (which doesn't seem very sandboxy) or turn off the music all together. So now the music of simply off. Return the jukebox before EVE becomes horribly boring.
