Korben Deck Synergy. Imperial Republic Of the North	Posted - 2006.12.14 23:40:00 - [1] Like it says the new map sucks You gotta zoom in really close to see the lines If u use the zoom out icon when u are in space u get the map Cant get around all the animation when u first open the map Did i mention u cant see the lines unless u zoom in really close
Redart Pirates of Destruction Union	Posted - 2006.12.14 23:41:00 - [2] /signed /signed /signed I hate the new map and those dots are ugly, even though I'm used to them now, they are still ugly Matt @ GorgeousGamers.com

Synapse Archae Amarr Solarflare Heavy Industries Pure.	Posted - 2006.12.14 23:44:00 - [4] Edited by: Synapse Archae on 14/12/2006 23:44:25 No the new map sucks. Its not "seamless" at all, its just a cheap graphical trick for switching between 3 different maps, that takes up time and patience. Once you get there the new map is a PAIN to understand and navigate compared to the old one. With the system infos coming up and not leaving, your actions dont move the map until after a delay, not being able to see things zoomed out. Lastly the zoom out button was amazingly useful for fleets when you needed to zoom out and see what was going on. Now you get shoved into the map where you quickly lag out and die in the fight you were in. - - - These elite slaves are exceptionally well suited for physical labor.
Caedicus Minmatar Einherjar Rising Dusk and Dawn	Posted - 2006.12.14 23:45:00 - [5] The new map doesn't necessarily suck. But it is still very dissapointing after hearing the devs talk it up so much. It's really not a seamless map. It's pretty hard to click on things that you want, also. Evolution in Eve:
mechtech	Posted - 2006.12.14 23:47:00 - [6] It doesnt suck, it just needs tweaking. -The lines need to be brighter and thicker. -Show lines by selected region doesnt work atm (really big pain). -The massive info box should only expand if clicked, and should be muuch smaller by default. -The info box should show region somewhere. -The zoom just doesnt feel right, kind of gooey and slow. -Route optimize needs to get away from the O^2 efficiency, and actually handle more than 5 waypoints. -and generally, it should be alot less laggy.
Elliot Reid Digital Fury Corporation	Posted - 2006.12.14 23:48:00 - [7] I don't know if its just me, but the line that's drawn along your planned route looks way too thick now. Have to say it's one of my least favourite changes with Revelations, along with losing the system map off the scanner, but it's not a major problem. _______________________________
Orb Lati Minmatar Sebiestor tribe	Posted - 2006.12.14 23:51:00 - [8] The new map would be fine if it had the following options. 1. (slider?) option to turn up the brightness of the gate lines so if you wish you can see them zoomed out. 2. (slider?) option to tun up brightness of the AP route. 3. Ship hud magnifying glass should go to max zoom on the ship first then another click to go to the system map, otherwise hud transition is fine.

Omega Vistage	Posted - 2006.12.14 23:52:00 - [9] signed... can't stand how when I move my cursor across the map I get huge pop-ups with the system information interfering with my view.
Commoner Caldari Emergent Chaos The Core Collective	Posted - 2006.12.14 23:55:00 - [10] Edited by: Commoner on 14/12/2006 23:57:56 1. When moving my curser over system i get unescessary lag for the info screen which pops of whenever i pass by. I only want to sho info on the system i have selected i dont wanna have popups for half a sec mouseover. 2. The info window is fubared, sometimes the information is too big to fit on the screen and parts of the infomation becomes lost. 3. The lag, sometimes multiple infowindows clutter the screen, making it impossible to find the information im looking for. 4. Customisation, i want to be able to TWEAK what information i want to see. I want to be able to disable graphical gimmics to speed up the "non-seamless" map. Btw. The concept is great, just needs a lot more ironing. !
Aeon Yakati Destructive Influence Band of Brothers	Posted - 2006.12.14 23:59:00 - [11] My beef with the new map: - Not seamless - Bugged (try opening it during warp) - The added scenery stars which are taken from the map and placed in the space background slow down the game.
Ghoest	Posted - 2006.12.14 23:59:00 - [12] /signed The whole problem is the lack of easily seen lines. Make it so you can make all the lines in one sector bright at the same time. Wherever you went - here you are.
Kunming Amarr adeptus gattacus Lotka Volterra	Posted - 2006.12.15 00:05:00 - [13] I wish I could SEE this "MAP" everybody is talking about! Quote: READ THIS NEXT PART CAREFULLY AS IT IS VERY IMPORTANT AND POSTING A REPLY WITHOUT READING IT MAY RESULT IN YOU LOOKING STUPID.
Cleric JohnPreston	Posted - 2006.12.15 00:09:00 - [14] i also hate the new seemsless map thing..bring back the simple older one !!
Deikan Frost Amarr	Posted - 2006.12.15 00:09:00 - [15] I never liked the map in EVE. There's too many stars showing at once, and it's always too cluttered to my taste no mater which settings I use... I wish it was something more like the 2D map this guy made (which is amazing by the way...): http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=226749&page=1Link[/ur]
Gadfly Hawke G-Tek Confederation of Independent Corporations	Posted - 2006.12.15 00:10:00 - [16] We need a button that lets us zoom out on the view without simultaneously getting what is euphemistically called a system map. I thought the old map was an excellent map. The new one does indeed suck, big time. G-Tek is recruiting
Rimac	Posted - 2006.12.15 00:10:00 - [17] I think the new map is excellent save one thing: The orientation should default 'North' like the old map did, for easier orientation. Otherwise I think it's a great addition. I'm a blockade runner and it has made my life lots easier looking for alternate routes, getting a good picture etc etc. As long as the animation mode is set to 'instant' all is well.
Synapse Archae Amarr Solarflare Heavy Industries Pure.	Posted - 2006.12.15 00:13:00 - [18] Updated to my list of whines: 1 - The orientation is wrong 2 - You cant move it when the interface is hidden. - - - These elite slaves are exceptionally well suited for physical labor.
Sirob Gallente	Posted - 2006.12.15 00:28:00 - [19] I think the new map is totally fine, except it has a few minor bugs here and there. The whole thing seems pretty damn seamless to me. Is it a literal veiw that goes from ship and unzooms all the way to theentire galaxy? No, but it does literally unzoom from your ship, to showing your ship in the solar system, to showing the solar system in the galaxy, all without a seam. The lines getting brighter etc as you zoom in also works perfectly fine. If you are zoomed out so far you cant see the lines yet you would be too far to distinguish each one anyways. Here is a hitn for you guys "Flatten Map" and "Instant Animation." There are SOME bugs (like you begin to warp then open the mao and get the warp affect still, and sometimes gonig through a SG while map is opened creates problems, and some small designe changes could be mad to make things a bit easier to use, but over all the system as a WHOLE is great, just needs a bit of fine tuning here and there) Anyways, the new map works a bit diff than the old one and maybe you are thinking "Since I must use this map differently than the old map, it means it is broken" instead of forgetting everything you know about the old map and learning the new map. Once you figure it out it IS better, for EVERYTHING. I spent tons of time with the old map and tons of time with the new, and the new IS better.

Ctair Pilru Nubs. Anarchy Empire	Posted - 2006.12.15 00:35:00 - [21] I don't mind the map so much, but the aforementioned improvements would be great. The thing that I can't stand is the removal of that little 2D system map on the left of the scanner. Bring it back!! ---
Mattikus	Posted - 2006.12.15 00:36:00 - [22] I'm gonna add my input and I'm gonna be a ** about it. I think the new map rocks! I never used the old map but I've been using it a lot more now that they've changed it around. The animation is awesome and its all of what, 2 or 3 seconds? And people are ***in about that? If it takes longer than 3 seconds for you then you what, its time to upgrade that fossil your playing EVE on. I cant believe people whine about the animation when its only about 3 seconds long?!?! Give me a break and get a life.
Patch86 Di-Tron Heavy Industries Freelancer Alliance	Posted - 2006.12.15 00:47:00 - [23] Is this the new thread about the map sucking, or the thread about the new map sucking? Grammar ftw! -----------------------------------------------
Saint Lazarus	Posted - 2006.12.15 00:50:00 - [24] /signed Dont hate it but it needs some work, and the animation while cool at first is gettin kinda old 90% of the time I just wanna quickly check the map and set a waypoint but I gotta watch it 40/50 times a day when I use it alot and it kinda annoys me. That and other issues already mentioned dosent suck, just needs some work :insert cool signature here:
Anarkia Evangel Slacker Industries Exuro Mortis	Posted - 2006.12.15 00:51:00 - [25] Originally by: Synapse Archae Edited by: Synapse Archae on 15/12/2006 00:14:37 Edited by: Synapse Archae on 14/12/2006 23:44:25 No the new map sucks. 1.

Now you get shoved into the map where you quickly lag out and die in the fight you were in. Completely agree, NO: 7 in bold is the most annoying for me atm, + it reset everytime you look at it. And to Add one, the scan map, why oh why did you take it out CCP?!, makes me very sad. To people who say use F11, it sucks, you lag, takes up 1/4 of your screen and is just not as user friendly.
duckk Gallente Bastage Incorporated	Posted - 2006.12.15 01:02:00 - [26] /signed ... valid points already posted.
Hesed Hamartia.	Posted - 2006.12.15 01:02:00 - [27] Hide lines is nice. (not new) Hide stars would be better. Most especially, I would like the option of just loading my region and sometimes neighboring regions. If you wanna take it further, loading just my constellation and neighboring constellations would be neat too. The whole load-map-and-wait-for-universe-to-flip-over-and-flattening-mode-egage thing is cool the first few times, and then it gets old. It would also be nice to have some parts of the map transferable to draggable windows too. Or IGB. I guess we could do the latter for ourselves. This is about the only thing that I might actually use effectively in a dragable window instead of built into the client.

Darkrogue Standard Operations Building Services Maelstrom Alliance	Posted - 2006.12.15 02:09:00 - [28] OMG SIGNED /signed signizzled ANYTHING! CCP this patch is so sloppy......why?
Dahak2150 Chaos Monkeys	Posted - 2006.12.15 02:13:00 - [29] It sucks like a nuclear powered vacuum. If you're on IE, pretend this is transparent while you get a better browser.
Pan Crastus	Posted - 2006.12.15 02:31:00 - [30] /signed I never use the new map. I hate stuff that makes me wait to see some visual effect I don't need. I miss the fast and useable system scanner with the solar system layout.
