IT'S STILL HORRIBLE.
Sorry. Yep, same for me, after playing eve for most of this past week. Yes, the new UI technically works, but my main issues have not changed.
I'm used to the UI now, however, my eyes do still NOT magically see low contrast shapes faster then simple color "cyan, near top left" will always be faster to locate then "tiny factory thing, near top left"
The slow fade has gone from many areas(thank you for that CCP) but it's still there in others, like when I sell things.
I still don't like the "selected window" transparency change, I still want one setting for everything, so the windows are consistent.(and i wish for nothing to ever change transparency without me manually setting transparency)
Oh, and the color theme options, although very cool, especially the auto ship theme thing, still simply CANT give me the settings I would find optimal, I need TWO sliders for that.
All in all, my biggest issue here, so color, and CONTRAST.
Seriously CCP, I would like an answer to this, if nothing else: Why is the entire UI now LOW CONTRAST?
I know high contrast isn't always pretty, but it's generally more functional in my experience as a user.
Last but not least, I suspect some dramatic performance loss in some situations with this patch, on my secondary comp, but cant verify because this is an MMO and I cant boot up the old version for an FPS test.

I personally like the new UI very much. CCP: bravo! Although I feel that RGB sliders for the UI should come back, presets are bound to be too few for at least someone. Also like the new icons, I'm all for minimalist style. Took 5 minutes tops to adapt to the new shapes, they are telling enough.
Need more well-formatted linking.

CCP should offer the option for players to create their own elaborate designs for the interface, keeping the function per button standard but whatever color schemes and how it is designed would be up to the players.

Do you realize just how much effort it would be to maintain two UIs instead of just one? More than it's worth, that's how much. It's not some boolean value you can flip and automagically give everyone what they want.

I have specific lag issues that surfaced right after Rhea:
1- Transitioning from the log in screen to the character screen takes abnormally long time.
2- Transitioning from the character selection screen to the in-game screen takes abnormally long time. The character logs in and shows as online for other players, yet my screen is still black during the transitioning. The black screen period used to be very short.
3- Sometimes while jumping between gates, the gate stutters as soon as it appears on grid during the warp. It rubber bands in front of me until my ship actually lands at 0 meters.
More than 3 years of gameplay and I have never encountered this before.
I have no internet connection issues with all of my other online apps. My connection speed is stable and serving me as it has always done.
Many Thanks
I would appreciate it if anyone can help me as my gameplay has become very laggy and sluggish after Rhea. The above mentioned issues are annoying as I log off and back on to switch between toons too very frequenetly.
I have cleared cache on all accounts , and the deleted all the mails, emptied trash, but that had no effect. I started a trial account and its right click menus and overall feel was a bit faster. How can duplicate that level of performance in my main accounts? |

you mean the syntax "IF" a button is pressed then choose UI1 otherwise UI2 ? this should be quite easy to apply.

I can understand there may be coding/technical reasons preventing a return to the old UI and RGB sliders. That's fine, as long as the shortcomings of the current implementation are addressed. What if we could have:
1. Slider to adjust window borders from black to white through a range of grays. 2. Slider to adjust window backgrounds from black to white through a range of grays.
Would be a workable solution to the visual clarity issues with the color themes and windows that exists currently. Color sliders would be nice but lack of contrast is the bigger UI design/usability problem right now.

Just thought I would confirm this on my A10-5800k system, using just the APU. I have no clue if this is new in this patch, had not considered this before you mentioned it.
1920x1080 anti aliasing, post processing and shadows off, everything else max. Sun anywhere on screen, 75-90 FPS. Sun out of view, 125-135 FPS.
1920x1080 Everything on max, Sun anywhere on screen, 47 fps Sun out of view, 57 fps
Much less difference in the latter, but still, I'm quite curious why this is, and this is worth keeping in mind for FPS, as It appears the sun can be quite a significant slowdown in some cases.

Feedback on icon designs :
Ok, about more than a week into Rhea, this needs calling out.
There are too many "circular" motifs that bear similarities to one another. This is not about personal taste, it's about clarity - especially when it involves the peripheral vision. Let me remind you again on the debacle a few years back when someone clever decided to replace the guns (and modules icons) with some brown colored, indistinctly shaped asteroid? turd? Take your pick.
Please re-examine these icons for redesign/modifications :
Ship Fitting (Neocom & Station panel) Ship Insurance (Station panel) Bounty Office (Station panel) Notepad (Neocom) Journal (Neocom)
- The Ship Insurance and Ship Fitting icons aren't distinct enough as both have similar motifs (ship enclosed bounded by a shape) and size. To make the Ship Fitting icon more distinct, for example, you would resize the the ship to the size of the circle and remove the circle altogether. There's already an example for this icon when you open up the Incursion global report.
- The Bounty Office is a variation of the Ship Insurance motif. Again, not enough dissimilarities. I certainly understand the reasoning behind these to preserve consistency, however, that's not what's important for this case. There are plenty of other iconic interpretations that can be used to represent a bounty office that is 100% unique and distinct, you're just not thinking hard enough.
- The same issue applies to Notepad vs Journal. Wtf people? Is this the best that you can do?
That said, the rest look decent enough to get by without too much trouble.

This is the simplest I can make this: http://imgur.com/GOuElfq
Top is harder on your eyes, bottom is more lenient. As a bonus it's easier to read because the contrast between the text and background is not as acute.
Implement windows to have permanently this setting and stop them from changing colours every time I turn the camera or focus them please. |

From reading the old threads, there was a lot of support for making a new interface. However there were immediately a lot of problems with the implementation, and reading between the lines, the big issue is:
Customization!
The old interface had a LOT more settings, things that could be disabled if people didn't like specific parts, and many slider bars for colors, and transparency.
The new one is pretty much, "you better like the default settings", because there are some preset color options, a blur tickbox, and one transparency slider, and that's it.

Well i think thats actually their plan, they are still really hoping that we get used to the new UI. But for me thats not going to work because the UI just doesnt work.
Have tried it again and again but havent been really playing eve for a week now. Still getting hurting eyes and a crazy feeling when touching the market and orders. And trading is or better was allmost all a i really liked in eve :(
I even tried a bit of PVP and while the new UI was still disturbing (why on earth does my whole screen go black while i enter a new standard orbit?) it was ok. But as soon as i really start to work with the UI it drives me crazy. |

Certain input windows cause the screen to go dark when they pop up (splitting a stack in your inventory among them... I mean, seriously?).
This is massively annoying. Please remove that feature or at least make it optional or at the very least exclude the split stack pop up window from this. (As it is, it makes me want to strangle someone - preferably the person who came up with this idea - every time I trade for a few minutes... and I hardly trade for more than a few minutes ++er session these days, because I can't stand this screen flshing.)

What I wrote to CCP in a ticket as well, and if they continue to ignore it I will keep writing them every week, is ONE SIMPLE REQUEST:
Allow us to disable the focus tracking animations/change in luminosity / translucency, blur Just an option to keep the interface LOCKED in a fixed state ( no focus tracking, no animations, no blur, etc. )
... so the brain can be focused on the things that are moving and you actually CARE about ... like ... enemy ... SHIPS.
And yea, traders and other people who are clicking in the interface a lot, their eyes are getting tired really fast from all this blurry mess.
I'm quite sure that would not bloat the client, isn't it ?
p.s. - Ability to customize colors would be nice as well, yea. With the icons, as ugly as they are, we can live with... but it wouldn't hurt to be able to put a different CUSTOM background color on each of them! Sooooo many people would be please with just these very very simple changes to the interface.
AH YES, one final thing, option to make OPAQUE NEOCOM PLEASE !
2nd p.s. - Even if all of us that do not like the new interface are a minority ( a quite large minority ), we are still CUSTOMERS. Customers which are totaling several thousand $ or Euro /month. I'm sure it would be wise for a business not to ignore that aspect ... at least try to make those customers less angry with small but significant improvements. |

Please just give us the option to revert to the old UI and Icons.
The interface is laggier than the old one, making it harder to have more than one account running at once.
The new icons are so samey, I have never in my eve career opened so many wrong windows by mistake.
The little white pixels in the corners of the windows are god awful. Just make the windows rectangular unless you're going to commit to doing proper rounded corners with transparent edges.
The WASD controls need a chasing cam and more love and attention to bring it into it's own, but I think it's deserving of more work.
The new renderer is very patchy when it comes to ship quality. Many of the Amarr ships are looking great, but other than that there are just as many ships that are looking really bad, like plastic toys rather than "real ships" like the devblog claims. I think many of the skins need updated to look good under the new system.

I have the same issue with the "selected window" transparency, Ever since this patch I find myself CONSTANTLY selecting random windows again and again while in space, the reason: I want the solidity on the "selected window" to go away, so that I can better see what's happening behind all the windows.
So yeah, I would very much like no part of the interface to ever move, or change, in any way, by itself. Some of those changes are distracting, while others obfuscate actually useful things.

I don't know why you're even assuming it is two seperate UI's. Looks to me EXACTLY like the old UI but with hard-coded themes and rediculous white pixels in the corners.
