Hi!
Sry, did not read all the 80 pages - did someone mentioned that new icons are ... bad? If no - I can confirm - they are bad. Really.
Main problem for me - I cannot differentiate meaningful groups of objects: player ships, NPC ships and other stuff (i call it Misc. as my overview tab).
Also, as for icon's design...
New ones has many curves and lines now (which complifies its transcription greatly) - old ones had less (but still enough to differentiate)= squares and crosses.
I think, new design will win with this minimalistic approach - player would concentrate more on gameplay than on 'icons reading', IMHO.
Many carebears has the most beautiful and iconic symbol hardprinted in their subconciousness - "Red-Big-Fat-Cross-NPC-Battleship-Yeah!" If you ruin it - how much efforts should be put to form a new one? Is this sacrifice is really worth?
C'mon, guys, my hope is still alive ;) |

I still hope there will be remedy for this fail, but meanwhile I've checked some alternatives and found Perpetuum as the most EVE-like game. |

Words about adapting to something stupid makes me laugh, really.
Just imagine you had a 100k$/year job and for some reason you've been "demoted" to like 40k$/year.
Now, you came to boss and asking - "WTF? Am I doing something wrong?"
He said "No, you're absolutely fine, Jon, but we had to restructurize our company, blablalba..."
So, will you dumblessly say "Okay.." and try to 'adapt' to new lifestyle or begin to search ways to get back what you had?
I think the answer is obvious - and this is what we are doing - trying to rescue EVE by so called 'whining', cancelling subs and (SUDDENLY) providing very constructive and accurate feedback with gifs and detailed explanations! Dam! Every gamedev is dreaming about such loyal volunteer&free software testers. |

to Joia's post. Please, correct me, If I'm wrong - a colour vision defect is different for different people. If so, we have even more reasons to make UI customizable (including icon's colour AND themes setup - remember RGB sliders).

I suppose, if a person who gives a feedback is actually playing EVE, which means he/she pays for sub (with $ or with time) and generate content (by killing or dying or messing with market goods). In other words - such people are valuable asset for whole EVE-Online project (because MMO without people is dead MMO). So, to save the day (cover everyone's needs) it is logical to give users an option to chooice (customization tools, check box at least). What do you say, Cleanse, is this the best option for all community and CCP itself? (because, I still did not understood why not, srsly) |

to Cleanse: Thanks, I got your point, but still have some of your statements which are not clear for me.
[Correction]: I did not mentioned complete rolling back - old and new variants should have its apropriate places (check Audio Settings as an example).
[Clarification]: By term "best option" I mean solution that satisfies everyone's needs (no 'lose' party - only 'win-win'). Your statement looks like - "its best because we know (who exactly and by which way that knowledge is available?) that CCP wouldn't change it". And it does not cover unsatisfied PVP'ers. Also, I really "don't know" this, as you state, because I ground my expectations on my past positive experience with similar cases (remember 'black screen of death", gunz avatars etc... - CCP fixed them after users' feedback)
Sorry, but in current state your words sounds quite illogical for me. But I would really appreciate if you'll clarify what do you mean by term "best option" then.
Not trolling, just want to make things as much clear as possible.
[Suggestion]: Maybe there is a very important reason why this new stuff was implemented. Maybe 90% of users aren't right when spkeaking about broken icon set. If so, please, give us an answer - why it is better? I strongly believe that well-grounded and logical explanation will beat all this mess in thread. But for now all we can see is the sarcastic and unrespectful blog (you know what I mean). All in all, we dont have to love each other - but we can try to cooperate with each other. We (users) have Blood, you (CCP) have Environment - lets do this like we did with "black screen of death" at least ;) |
