The new font is hideous. Honestly, it looks like a debug font that no one got around to changing. It may be more readable, but give us the option for the old one. It's really not that hard.
Fix the logi popup bug and give us the option to suppress the warning all together. Not all of us are stupid carebears who are too dumb to stay alive.
Bring back ship spinning -- Oh wait, you did learn on that one.
Can you please learn from that example and stop changing things for the worse without giving us the opportunity to suppress teh changes? |

By letting us make simple choices about our experiences they can make quite a bit more people happy. Right now, people who want CQ get it, people who want spinning ships are happy too, and people who want both can switch.
Everybody wins! |

How does the test server let me switch fonts or suppress a useless, annoying, and often severely damaging message? |

And it's fine that you do. I'd like to have the option. It would be pretty easy to give us a selection of fonts to use. |

Thread is bad OP should feel bad. Honestly, it's insulting to ask a paying customer to do a QA tester's job and go on the test server. When you're a customer paying for a premium service like EVE, you should expect it to be done right the first time it's presented to you. How we got to the point where we're expected to do something that most developers pay people to do just to get the service we paid for is beyond me.
I like you. I promise not to destroy you. Unlike some other people in this thread... |

The font didn't really need much 'testing' done on the test server. However, those of you who do not like it have had a chance to respond and provide your negative feedback long before it went live. there was even a devblog about it in case you don't want to get on the test server. A devblog with screenshots and samples of the new font that you could see and comment on.
Either you did not provide your feedback at all to the samples and test server version that was shown, or you were simply ignored because you were the minority.
I said from the get go that it's more readable. Doesn't mean it's better. It looks like comic sans and is completely out of place. I personally didn't complain until now because I assumed even CCP could get something simple like this right and make it a selection instead of the only choice. |

Again, that's fine you like it. I should be able to choose. |

The patch is wonderful overall. The font change is a continuation of the trend of CCP not listening to their players. |

The font isn't a result of CCP listening to their players. It's a response to them listening to a subset of their players and making a drastic change. Even if I'm generous, which I will be since I don't feel like counting, and say that 80 percent of the people in this thread prefer the new font, that still leaves 1 out of every 5 that are unhappy.
There is no reason that it isn't a selection option. |

There is no reason that it isn't a selection option. That is absolutely true Badezimmer. But a selection option is very likely not a very simple thing to implement. This is an option that will please (and i'm using your numbers here) 80% of the players. That is a good thing and it does imply that ccp is listening. Maybe a future patch will bring a selection option when they see the amount of players that want that. Still, that will mean that some players will whine about the fact that they can't change the font in every bloody font installed on their system. There's simply no way to please everyone. So. If you are pleased with the rest of the patch, isn't this just a small inconvenience? EDIT: Oh.. and Rhaegor Stormborn... Just because i'm not sharing your opinion does not make me a fan boy. Learn to spell, think first next time and please; next time check the picture and refer to me as a girl. I do understand that you've never seen one before, but you must have heard of them.
There is absolutely no reason why it shouldn't be a simple thing to implement. Assuming it's written properly then within reasonable limits the text fields will automatically scale, position, and wrap any font or font size. |

A font that makes that easier is better. What I'm reading is: "I acknowledge that it's better, but I'm not used to it, so I'm going to complain."
I'm complaining because it's bigger and it's screwed up my overview and because it's goofy looking in a sci-fi themed game. But my biggest complaint is that this is a change that has upset a sizable number of players and we aren't being given a choice. |

And it's fine that you do. I'd like to have the option. It would be pretty easy to give us a selection of fonts to use. Actually it is not easy. The new font is not just a new font, it is a new system for the font. If you read the dev blog that announced the font you will notice that they announced several technical changes to the system. Several times now Punkturis has said it is not possible. If you really want to talk about this go talk in this thread: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=39120It is 13 pages long and Punkturis is actually responding in that thread. If you have questions that is probably the best place for you to get an answer from her. Edit: Sorry I shouldn't have said "not possible" as anything is possible with enough time and money. Point still stands though, it is not worth the effort.
Punkturis responded twice with no information, and what do they mean "not possible?" What the hell did they do. It should be a very easy feature to add.
What did they do? Hard code all the positions for the text? |
