Seraph Essael Devils Diciples League of Infamy 953	Posted - 2014.11.05 05:03:33 - [3] - Quote Well, that didn't last long did it... You can't. Besides it's not like it's in the way or distracting. Now what I would like is a shortcut for the damned D-Scan again... Quoted from Doc Fury: "Concerned citizens: Doc seldom plays EVE on the weekends during spring and summer, so you will always be on your own for a couple days a week. Doc spends that time collecting kittens for the on-going sacrifices, engaging in reckless outdoor activities, and speaking in the 3rd person."
Omar Alharazaad Lords.Of.Midnight The Devil's Warrior Alliance 720	Posted - 2014.11.05 05:07:08 - [4] - Quote You can, there's a pop up window for it in which you can deselect the categories it displays manually, or all of it at once. Just can't recall off the top of my head exactly how I got it to open up and at work, so cannot duplicate til I get home.

You still have the rotating compass (without the colours) and doing this also removes them from the camera overlay itself. Which I suppose helps since all the new overlay does is overlay the previous overlay which is already quite apparent without extra colours on top. :/ Seraph Essael wrote: Well, that didn't last long did it... You can't. Besides it's not like it's in the way or distracting. I can appreciate others may enjoy it or not find it distracting. For me personally, it's very intrusive. It rotates down the bottom and distracts. Not to mention a 2D compass in a 3D space... well I won't go there. ;) I think it'd have been far more appropriate to allow further customisation for such a feature. "Remember this.

Even turning the pop up window "off", the compass "ring" is still around the edge of the capacitor, I'm assuming that's what he means...

I guess I'm slightly biased, I've kinda gotten used to it somewhat already. 9-10 times I'm looking at my overview and modules damage rather than at the capacitor and the spinning doesn't bother me too much. Moot point however for people like the OP unfortunately, as there is no way to turn it off. (My mate saw it earlier and the first thing he said was "Ooooh they made the HUD fabulous"...) Tavin Aikisen wrote: It's intrusive because I don't want it there and it interferes with the rest of my overview which is customised to my preferences, up until now. That's fair enough, but I don't see how it interferes with your overview when as far as I know, it doesn't actually do anything to your overview... (Does it? If it does something to the overview I have yet to experience it...) I will say this, wouldn't this have been better to put in the original feedback thread for the patch rather than start a new topic however? It will probably get seen there.

Kiera Minaris Asylum Institution Care Factor 10	Posted - 2014.11.05 11:14:25 - [12] - Quote There is a way to turn it off Click on the compass, a box should appear. Click on each type that you want off. (Click on all if you want them all gone) Simple as that. If you want them to stop appearing in space Click on the compass, a box should appear. Click on the green eye top right of the box. That will leave the compass working, and stop them from appearing in space.

The Tomonator Central Builders Incorporated Northern Associates. 1	Posted - 2014.11.05 13:26:08 - [14] - Quote I wonder how many dev hours were spent thinking it up, coding it, testing it ... all for a pointless added feature that no-one was asking for and does squat to most game play ... time and money that could have been spent on stuff that is actually wanted by the playerbase? (comment applicable to several other UI 'advances' over recent years actually) anyway ... that's my only bug against it. Now I've turned it off, more or less, I can get back to the game, so the thing itself it not a irritation. Just the wasted effort in it's development.

And, I'm no person to source features from - I'm the most indecisive person ever. lol Actually Tom, the ability to have your bookmarks (among other things) show up in space and be easy to orient on has been asked for repeatedly over the years. They did their best to come up with a practical way to visualize this that was useful but not overly obtrusive, and I'm pretty sure they knew that no matter what they came up with there would be a handful of people who have no need or desire to locate things around their current solar system quickly. I'm afraid you may just have to take cold comfort in the fact that what is a minor irritation for you is actually pretty damn handy for the rest of the player base.

Oh my god, so much this, bookmarks on the screen (providing you don't have thousands) is fantastic, so much less right clicking and so much easier to find and get to them if you're in a hurry combined with the radial menu. I don't always use the radial menu but since bookmarks are accessible on screen, it's so much quicker.

King Fu Hostile Imperial Collective Unsettled. 210	Posted - 2014.11.05 21:37:31 - [22] - Quote The Compass is brilliant , and together with bookmarks in space makes wormhole scouting just much more convenient. I've even learnt to love the sig overlay like my left nut.

Set probe scanner to alt+P, then set d-scan to alt+D. I did that yesterday and it does work, but only if you re-assign the probe scanner hotkey first.
Burl en Daire M.O.M.S. Corp 60	Posted - 2014.11.05 22:42:51 - [25] - Quote I like it and I used it within 5 minutes of release. I had to go afk, I noticed I had a bookmark in system (without having to right click) and moved the camera to the bookmark so I could warp to it and cloak up. I think the issue with the UI in general is that it isn't very customizable, meaning I can't always turn a piece of it on or off and in some cases move it to where I really want it. Yesterday's weirdness is tomorrow's reason why. Hunter S. Thompson

Jur Tissant The TERRA Guardians of Serenity 273	Posted - 2014.11.06 04:29:50 - [27] - Quote You can't have customization in everything. Otherwise the UI becomes even more complex to understand than it already is. If you turn off all the markers the new UI change is hardly noticeable and you probably won't recognize it in a couple weeks.

Otherwise the UI becomes even more complex to understand than it already is. If you turn off all the markers the new UI change is hardly noticeable and you probably won't recognize it in a couple weeks. True, but not in this case. We can already switch off everything except the console. All it is doing is allowing it to be properly customised to how it originally was. It's not 'new' customisation. Overlapping overlays make sense, even though they make things cluttered. However the 2D compass is unintuitive. For one; it's a 2D compass that applies to multiple planes. And secondly, you still need to physically look to determine the angle once you've got a partial bearing... you might as well be looking up from the compass anyway instead of adding an extra step. The bookmark itself is pointless, why look for the bookmark? Just right click and go. Viewing the direction of the bookmark is not a requirement to activate it. Now that's being very pedantic? Possibly. But that's why making the feature customisable, allowing the previous working solution to continue, is a nice compromise. "Remember this. Trust your eyes, you will kill each other.

Zappity Stay Frosty. A Band Apart. 1517	Posted - 2014.11.06 08:13:15 - [30] - Quote There's a button at the bottom right of your screen which gets rid of it: http://i.imgur.com/l4IybQn.jpg Sorry, couldn't resist. Seriously though, just adapt. It is a bit distracting but adds a LOT when you get used to it. And if you can't deal with this change then I wonder how you are going to cope with what is coming up.
