Thank god finally, I'm so happy you're doing this it's the only thing I wanted for christmas
For me there's quite a lot of niggles with the interface in general, mostly stemming from how archaic a lot of it is, but going into specifics my biggest gripes are mostly related to recruitment.
Firstly, there's currently no in-game tool or interface to audit who accepted/sent out applications/invitations. To find out who let a character in to a corp you currently need to ask everyone with recruit roles and hope you find the right person. In large corps with several recruiters and as many or more directors this is naturally a lot of people to go through to find the person in question, which is a a pain if you just have a minor innocent query to make and I'd imagine even more irritating when trying to work out liability in cases of theft or what have you.
To remedy this at least partially I'd really like a tab in the recruitment page that listed all new recruits for a given (user-defined?) time period, showing who they were let in by and when. A similar list of people who left or were kicked from corp would be handy too but is a little less important in my mind. I'm not sure how practicable this would be but assuming it is it would be of great use.
Secondly, there's no way to copy text directly from an application without rooting through the notifications history to find the application notification. If you're constantly getting spammed with all manner of notifications, even sorting by the Corporation subgroup, it can still be a chore to find the correct applications. Sometimes I've lost notifications (no idea how, maybe this is just me being dumb) and had to copy out API keys by hand. I feel it's also an extra, sometimes time consuming step into an unrelated interface to solve a problem directly related to recruiting.
A way to quickly select the body of the application text internal to the applications tab would be really neat. Even just a function in the right-click menu to copy the entire body of text would be better than what we have now.
Thirdly, I'd like a way to add a reason text for an application rejection. As it is I currently send rejected applicants an eve mail explaining why they were rejected, but I feel it'd be handy to be able to give a reason for rejection that will pop up as a notification in their feed. I think it'd be nice to be able to keep things tied up in the applications system, both for the applicant and the recruiter, for purposes of simplicity.
Away from recruitment it'd also be neat to see more options for corp logos in the future. The narrow dropdown window you get at the moment when selecting colours and logo elements is pretty restrictive, as are the limited colour pallettes. I'm not advocating a huge glut of options, but RGB, transparency and and gradient sliders would be a nice start. That said I do honestly quite like the variety of the current logo elements and there's a surprising amount you can do with three layers and maybe 100 elements.
I'd say the corp interface in general could do with a lick of paint too but that's a bit vague and not exactly helpful, so until I can articulate on it better I'll leave it at that.
Thanks for taking everybody's feedback CCP Punkturis, looking forward to the final result. |
