Now consider the Neocom, which can host a few dozen icons, which are all basically equal in importance. Giving them all different colours of equal importance is literally impossible, and giving them all different hues is also impossible. This leaves you with several icons with the same colour (adding to confusion), and some appearing more important than others.

Making them mono solves all these issues, while leaving colour for more important things- such as the timer indicators.

I started to play EVE less than 2 months ago after reading an article about it.
The main question was : How can EVE still be live after more than 10 years? And one of the answer was : because devs pay attention to people playing their game and consider feedback is important.

I decided to try and started with Trial Account.
I immediately liked it and I didn't even wait for my trial to be over before subscribing.
Even my not so recent computer could run the game smoothly as long as I would not ask for too many advanced features.
I was quite happy with this game and started to think I would probably play it for a while..

Then this patch was released.

The icons, are O.K.. I think I could get used to them after a while. No big deal here.
But the interface ? Everything is laggy now. I tried to put transparence to 0, deactivate any fency feature, nothing changed. Windows, mouse cursor, everything is laggy now. Even the solar system map when probing is laggy. I don't even talk about hacking window...

I logged in about 2 hours ago, started to play the way I was before and logged out 1 hour later, pissed of by these laggy windows that ruined my gameplay.
I can't see an improvement here. The interface was O.K. the way it was. I don't really know what causes that window lag but I do know one thing, I can't play a game with laggy interface.

I have 2 more weeks until my subscription expires. Sadly, it will probably expire for good .

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 rightpriveledge 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.

There's one part of this update which I really hate with a passion. In fact, it's so awful that I don't know why others haven't noticed it, but apparently I'm alone in this (so far)- the gold on the Amarr ships looks tacky, and the white/grey parts look dirty. I could not be more dismayed at this if they'd bedazzled the Amarr symbol with rhinestones.

In short, the Amarr ships looks like a Dubai Billionaire had a gold version made.

Here's what I mean:

I'm still hoping maybe I have a setting wrong somewhere to be seeing it like this. The gold is just way too shiny- it needs to be subtle.

and btw, I don't hate all gold. But there's decent, tasteful, subtle use of gold.. and this is not it.

With the exception of the Tristan I'm not loving the Gallente ships. Far too shiny and a weird shade of green. Incursus is slightly improved by the removal of that stupid pointy thing.

On the devs listening though.. I really am hoping they hear us, although it would be nice to see a blue post, if only to show that they didn't just make this post to make us vent in a specific place.
Although seeing as how negative this thread is, I'm not surprised they are hiding.

In the end, we need to give them a chance to fix this though, fuming at them wont really increase the chances of them joining the conversation.

Think of it this way, would YOU join a conversation where you would probably get yelled at immediately upon showing your face?
To be honest, I wouldn't :)

Who the **** came up with the idea to stop chat tabs from blinking if the cursor touches them, however briefly? Do you realize how easy it is to accidentally mouse over a chat tab and completely miss that someone had said something?

It's also ******** that every chat tab stops blinking when you only click one of them. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.

Please stop forcing big overhauls on us like this.

New icons are pretty bad, less intuitive and harder to find at a glance

Give us back colour sliders!
The choices you've given us don't even cover the whole spectrum let alone have a decent amount of choice. I actually don't like any of them.

On the plus side the new star map (which is a beta option, why didn't you do this for the UI?) is beautiful. Put whoever designed it onto the UI so they can fix it.


Rollback the UI

Hi, don't know if CCP is going to actually gonna read this post, but the manual flight control is very nice and a lot smoother than I thought it was going to be. If I can make one suggestion though; having an option to lock the camera to the ship's rear (third person view) would make it easier to pilot with these controls in combat because at the moment the camera is not fixed so you have to keep one hand on the mouse controls to keep the camera centred when manually turning. This makes it hard to use in combat because you normally require one hand for module activation/deactivation and one hand for selecting targets and movement, so its hard to add camera manipulations into the mix as well. Just a tickbox would do or a keyboard shortcut perhaps. As far as the graphics go I think they are pretty awesome, I especially like what's been done with boundless creation's ships, they look really nice now. The angel cartel ships might need a little bit of work, they look a little dusty coloured at the moment and they have lost the shine to their hull they used to have, they could do with being darkened some more and that distinctive 'glisten' added back to the armor on the hull. I like what you have done with the User Interface, no quibbles there it looks very nice, the ability to match to current ship theme and set transparancy are pleasant.

The above is just my two cents anyway, good work CCP, keep the updates rolling
