Hey CCP.....
I know it's hard, but could you please back off from trying to "compete" with the flashy UI's and whatnot in "those other space games" and go back to what EVE does best - namely, being FUNCTIONAL.
First it was the star map - I'd be interested in seeing the statistics on how many people have turned it off and are using the old ones. I'm guessing the percentage is pretty high.
Now it's these..... icons. Or whatever you are calling them.
It's ok CCP - you don't have to try and make your interface look pretty just for the sake of looking pretty. We love you even when you're not pretty, because... you are FUNCTIONAL. (Or were. Now, I don't know.) |

We've taken seriously the calls to include a "use classic bracket icons" option. Originally we thought having two sets of icons in the client might just cause confusion and miscommunication among players, and tough learning/teaching decisions for newbros as well as vets welcoming them in. However these concerns might be overblown, especially in regards to little bracket icons. In any case its definitely a debate worth having.

Thanks for reading!
Well, it didn't work because I have no idea what I'm looking at. I'm curious as to what your thought process was in going live in the current state, especially after the massive outpouring of bad feedback from SiSi.
A classic bracket icons option would be fantastic. That way, everyone is happy regardless of what side of the new icon debate you fall on. You said your new icons improve "granularity" and make it easier to take everything in at a glance, and apparently the bulk of 20 pages of customer responses disagree. This way, we all go home happy. |

@CCP_Surge - Reporting back after a few days of use, as instructed.
The new icons are still terrible. Can't begin to tell you how many times I have locked on to the wrong thing. At least 2 friends who are color blind are having an even worse time with them. I find myself using the "Name" and "Type" columns because the icons are just so..... bad.
So yeah. My opinion is unchanged. Please add a "Use Legacy Icons" button to general settings please. |
