No,
I don't like when EVE decides to switch to an Incursion channel just because I entered a system where an incursion is going on. I just lost a covop because I didn't realize it while flying around in null and though the local was empty. This little astero had all the time of the world to find the site I was in and to fly cloaked to me.
Add at least an option to the menu to skip these kind of unwanted "chat invites", thx.
Pff.

I know situation awareness and game mechanics very well. The most important one in nullsec is: always have at least one eye on the local or you will have a bad day. This is exactly the reason why I don't like some kind of a spam program to open a chat window without request and put the focus on it. I just have to overlook that this little sneaky invitation window has changed something and exactly then happens what happend to me: another one entered the system, took his time to probe down my site, fly in cloaked, sneak within 5000m range, decloak and kill me. Before I realized my error I had a lossmail.
Btw.: I don't care about the isk I lost or being killed at all. I don't care if other players kills me but I hate to lose against a computer or a program.

Just fly around with the map open instead looking at the stars, then you will see it.
When you jump into an incursion system you don't see the color change of the background and as additional feature the incursion details (typically shown beneath the systems name) stay hidden. The only warning you get is the switch in the tab header of the chat window. Just miss this little point and you are trapped. |

So you were looking at "local" to know it was empty but somehow missed the RED welcome message to your new "local" channel?
I don't care about messages, chat, whatever. It's null, you normally don't talk. And yes, even without incusrions I often have red text in the chat, e.g. from sleeper caches, WH jumps, other warnings. Just go to null, enter some anoms, ded complexes, WHs and you will find that most of the text you see actually is painted in red. This is null, not Jita.
All I care is: is there someone or not. a nice icon I am interested in, not more, not less.
So again, I hate it if the client decides that it is so interesting to read who is doing this that it does not only opens a window without asking and leaving you no possibility to stop it from appearing but also moves it in the foreground. It's just like surfing the web without an add block and each time you visit the wrong page a big banner appears "HEY, did you see? The fantastic Sanshas have appeared and offer their service. So come to our shop, visit us, we have special deals with NPCs, you won't be disappointed.". |
