Who cares about the blog post ETA? It's not like we are going to enjoy what it says.

I'm more interested in the fix-the-UI-despite-their-pride ETA.

The simple answer at the moment is no.

Without going into too much detail as the blog will cover it, we have ideas to simplify the current system from the feedback on this thread and discussions from the CSM.

i love the new icons, they're better at discerning ship types....before you couldnt tell a frigate from a destroyer or a cruser from a battlecruser. dont change a thing!

.........

As I see your KB stat and date of birth in game why you even comment this tread when you all live were stay docked in the station?

What logical reason was there to change the icons?

If there was one, I would also like to know the reason.

But in more than 90 pages with discomfort CCP has not even delivered an argumentation, why a change was necessary.

a holistic icon strategy where we make all things in EVE that have a uniquely defined role, function or purpose have their own distinctive icon.

The long term goal is that in the foreseeable future we will no longer see the same item icon for two different modules or other things.

We want to ensure that all items which exists in the game and have a uniquely defined role, function or purpose should have their own distinctive icon.

What they want is total chaos.
Simple.

2. Be respectful toward others at all times.

The purpose of the EVE Online forums is to provide a platform for exchange of ideas, and a venue for the discussion of EVE Online. Occasionally there will be conflicts that arise when people voice opinions. Forum users are expected to be courteous when disagreeing with others.

3. Ranting is prohibited.

A rant is a post that is often filled with angry and counterproductive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and is helpful in development of the game and community. Rants are disruptive, and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise and clear manner while avoiding going off on rambling tangents.

4. Personal attacks are prohibited.

Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts that are designed to personally berate or insult another forum user. Posts of this nature are not conductive to the community spirit that CCP promotes. As such, this kind of behavior will not be tolerated.

5. Trolling is prohibited.

Trolling is a defined as a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting other players in an attempt to incite retaliation or an emotional response. Posts of this nature are disruptive, often abusive, and do not contribute to the sense of community that CCP promote.

We'll probably get that Blog up and available before the fix-the-UI-despite-their-pride patch. I'm in the cynical thinking, we'll get that blog just in time for it to be completely buried in the next release blog blasts. So it can be 'shown' as uninteresting to their customer base by lack of views, therefore 'proving' to themselves they were right and we were unreasonable about a 'little' thing like an icon change.

I thought he said that they'd put the blog out after they "dotted the i's and crossed the t's" of their "fix"....which likely means we won't have any say in how anything is changed, because you have seen how well they took the SiSi feedback...and now atleast 3 weeks of this feedback...all for not.

They simply need to eat their pride, and revert this hot mess until they have "fix" ready, then put it on SiSi and actually utilize the feedback, none of which will be mine because by the time that happens my accounts will have lapsed with no renewal. And i'm okay with that, if they want to shoot themselves in the foot some more...fine by me.

. Better yet you could always go on SiSi when these changes are put live there, check them out first hand before they go live...

Just so CCP people are aware, when I notice a suspiciously positive / fanboyish comment that seems out of place, I compare the character's born date to all the born dates of everyone listed in CCP Alliance and I discover a lot of your alts that way. I keep your posts recorded in the same Excel table as your born dates, and I'm going to write an expos+¬.

I'm revealing this because I would rather see Devs participate genuinely in forum discussion on their main. As funny as it is seeing Devs try to hide behind alts, unsuccessfully.
