I miss this so much... the new UI doesn't even compare to this...

Also check out the colour of the Gila... i miss this colour also...

Please stop bitching around for no reason

Why did CCP change it while it wasn't broken ?

LISTEN to our feedback, MAKE the appropriate changes and then, at a later time, roll out a new UI if you must.

Give it a try, play some weeks and you will adapt to them.
After this, you can post your review.

Cons

I like the new UI but I couldnt play the game realy, since my graphic card is broken. But still, I like the look. Cons

Let's say you take your car to the paint shop to give it a nice red shiny fresh look, and instead you receive a fugly manure green color with
brownish stains and a lot of scratches ...

Then you ask "What the f*** is this ?? I wanted a nice shiny red paint job and I get this??
What if the shop owner answers "ADAPT TO IT".

You adapt or punch him in the face ?
I guess the answer is pretty clear...

My opinion of the patch - money back.

This sounds a bit illogical.

What you expect of others apply to yourself first, then someone will be able to take you seriously. Maybe. You are either trolling or a designer who produced this nosepicked UI.

You are the one who shouldnt be here in the first place because you have no reason to defend the new UI either.

People don't want it to be removed.
All we ask is an option to modify it or an option to bring the CLASSIC UI back. Thats it. Your done. Bye.

As for me I find this game unplayable and i really used to like it just having played for 3 weeks. Now UI is too alien to the rest of the game. it's alien to traditional values of articity. Since not too long ago I started to pay a lot more attention to my eyes, so I don't play hardcore anymore, I even had to buy a new PC screen. So it was mining and some exploration I did and enjoyed for it being restful and fun. Since Rhea I stopped launching this game.

The sense of the GUI is to control and communicate. From my pov it can't be simple enough. Less is more here. For what you need a colorful overdone GUI what will cover the main reason why we play EVE: spaceships in space. The EVE forums are mainly not really representing the opinion of the whole playerbase. Internet forums were made for grumpy smart-a**es never been satisfied.

32 pages full of Jita pilots posting. This crybaby thread is hilarious and annoying at the same time. Thankfully it isn't representing the player base because then we would have a really good reason to quit the game. Or wait... maybe some good kills to make because people are helpless and confused in space not able to play the game anymore because of some new icons. Hahahaha... I can't stop laughing about posts where people try to sell us that the game is now unplayable. Sounds like I wanted a black playstation for christmas and my mum and dad gave me a white one and I am rolling over the floor screaming.

Thats the point. Nobody played EVE because of its UI. The truth is, that the UI in EVE was always horrible.
Stats, stats, stats but people still play the game, because it has a great gameplay.

The new UI will not change the gameplay.

yeah a gui ain't related to the perceived user experience. like at all.

Now I think I will pray CCP is mature enough to admit fault and at least let us choose between the old and new..

Its what they do, and seems to be ingrained into their philosophy.

Why waste valuable developer time fixing things that are broken when they can break something else.


Aaaaaaaaaand.....God forbid them keeping their "promises" and revisiting previous screw ups to finish "iterations":

That is the tootip fiasco where they said they would provide delay sliders for each type of tooltip. That was 6 months ago and we are still waiting.


Ferking hopeless.

Yeah the simple truth about the new dynamic window brightness effect is:

. It serves no funcional purpose except maybe increasing transparency when clicking in space, to better observe the tactical situation. But even then, 1) it only really works with blur disabled (or else you can't even see brackets under the windows!) 2) whether you're PVPing or PVEing, you'll always have your eyes shifting from space to windows (especially the overview), I really cannot understand why CCP would think that a 'variable brightness' overview is more easily readable than a simple 'static brightness' overview

. It's totally useless when you're docked and managing market orders, industry, fitting ships or chatting

. It's way overdone: the whole client darkening every time something pops up? Like, for example, the N. of items selection when you're splitting stacks. Why do we need such dramatic effects for simple mundane activities, that in certain occasions (for example: trading, ship fitting, etc.) have to be done repeatedly and quickly?

. Apparently several people don't care, that's cool, but many others find it quite distracting and hindering the readability of the windows. Aren't windows supposed to convey information in an immediate and clear fashion? How is constatly changing colors/brightness supposed to improve the readability of the information???

. Some people are apparently more sensitive than others, so instead of being just annoyed by the effect (like me) they're actually finding it unbearable. This seems quite plausible, people are different, some just can't stand constant monitor flashiness, what's so hard to understand about that? Yeah some people may be exaggerating a bit but I'm sure at least a few are honestly having issues


So TL;DR why can't we just TURN OFF the dynamic brightness? I'm no expert but I assume it would at least slightly improve performance on low-end machines, too!


Please CCP just add a nice little tickable box in the ESC Menu: Dynamic Window Brightness ON/OFF. Easy peasy

no the iconization is horrible, otherwise people would not be complaining or having get used to it. good iconization is if the meaning represented by the icon is instantly recognized without having to remember it. the icon has to transport that thru its representation. an icon shall not just be a placeholder that you need to remember in order to get where you want. the new icons sadly fail in this regard.

As someone mentioned correctly: we are the end-user and not the client of CCP. But most of the people behaving here like the super-important client. Because they pay 10 bucks per month? Ridiculous. To make clear: you pay a subscription to have the right to play this game. Nothing more. Everything else is owned by CCP and CCP's decision. And that's it.

It's so easy to give a constructive and polite feedback if you just calm down and talk in the right manner. But this doesn't happen here. Most people seem to have no life experience how to deal with issues and how to communicate with success. Horrible.

It's the old internet "tough guy" problem, it's easy to whine and threaten when there is almost 0% chance of someone knocking on your door and dropping the nut on you. I imagine if CCP sent some Icelandic behemoth to deal out some real-life forum retribution every time someone posts some rant the amount of crap would disappear fairly quickly.

Just my two pence, I don't like the UI but I will learn to see it as normal as everyone does eventually in EVE, I imagine in 5 years time when they change it again people will be chest beating and whining saying "I hate the new UI I loved the old one"


Ask yourself this, does the new UI stop you doing anything that you used to do? Simple answer is no, in 3 or 4 weeks you won't even remember the old one, Yes, it's drab and lifeless and looks like some designer found a 90's design book and passed it off as his/her "new" idea but it's what we have so learn to live with it.
