This comment is everything that is wrong with CCP today. You simply do not care about the work and effort you customers have put into tools to support your game, and you just poop on them because it serves your purpose.

Not quite sure what all the outrage is about. The IGB has been slated for removal for years. At least with a staggered announcement like this people have time to adapt, whether that be switching to an overlay, changing their preferred ingame tools (or redeveloping them via Crest) or getting set up with an additional monitor. If it's not stable and will require excessive resources to maintain best can it asap before users start having serious problems. It's always been a bit flimsy anyway without flash.
Tbf, I've just bought a 4k monitor (\o/) so windowed mode will be fine and for the first time now have 2 monitors, so maybe I'm in a reasonably good position to deal with this. But ever since concerns were raised about the IGB I've been trying to cut down using it, and once you get used to pretending it's not there you find alternate habits. Either way, thanks for the info about overlays, will test Overwolf and Evolve and see if it's better than windowed. Another cheaper option for those who can't afford a second monitor but prefer to have a browser open continuously might be to set up a small tablet on a stand, or if your phone is big enough just use that.
Those reliant on ingame browser tools could do with poking the developers of those direct to see what their plans are, or have them start a centralized discussion so people can monitor it. They can't have been unaware this change was due so might have new stuff in the pipeline via crest.
Knowing they have more SP than I do isnGÇÖt going to stop me from taking the fight if I was going to take it.

You guy don't even know how much i hate you !!
How many website will i have to be rebuild because of you !! Lots of tools had been made arround that IGB, we're probably not the only ones. Your talking about CREST and a lot of people think it will be fine. BUT NO !! We'll have to rebuild our website arround that thing.... Its a game, we don't want to spend time rebuilding tools that are already working great !
The Browser is fine like it is at the moment.
Why don't u let player use old browser or redirection has a option !!

I'm not sure you understand who you're talking to. I really don't want to be rude so instead of trying to tell you how much I care I will suggest you go talk to any active third-party developer and ask them what they think of me. I know a few are a little annoyed with me and a few of the things I have done but I don't doubt they will all agree I care a HUGE amount about them and the work they do. Hell even right now a few of them are going to be upset they only have three months to do the work... but they still know how much I care. So please, don't give me this "CCP doesn't care" crap because it is complete garbage.
That is just my comment in response to you thinking I don't care... for the sake of not being a complete ******* I am going to not respond to how you think I treat third-party devs.

hmmmm
ok im one of the vets in this game, and i have been plaing since 2004.
The IGB is one of the things that have been helping me since my start, and i really feel sorry for its burial.
Im playing multiple tons on a laptop, ithout a boot, and this game is starting to bug me off.
Whenever you change the luncher we need to add all our overwiev and stuff once more, you never seem to take care of your old players that hve used 10 years or more on getting a decent setu.
IGB: why remove it?
Seems to me that EVE is going the way that all MMO are going. You need a serious setup to do play the game, probably a nice i7 core with 2 screens or more.
I have multiple chars from 2004, and have been doing great on a laptop, woth i3 and 4gb of normal shared ram, and i guess that have been the base of this game for 12 years. No million setup computers, and you coudnt buy your way to rich and famous.
We got skillinjectors, did we complain? yes some
We now loose IGB, do i want to complain? YES, and why? my laptop crashes when playing 2-3-4-5 toons AND need browser online also...
Reach out to Google, opera, microsoft or any other, and let them do the IGB, you can maybe get payed for it as well insted of let the specs to play go skyhigh..

1) CREST allows you to access your tools from ANOTHER device, you don't have to use your laptop for 5 toons and a browser, you can use the browser on any other device.
2) This is not how this works. Microsoft, Google, and Opera don't care about the IGB, and they CERTAINLY won't pay CCP for the massive effort required to integrate their browsers into the game. |

You're an idiot and a ccp shill. I am advocating for quality of life for my corp mates and the rest of w-space. You keep using "slated for removal". Lots of things had been on the chopping block and pushback from players have stopped them, take the bookmark warping for example.
Simply put, MY PEOPLE use it, and dont want to see it go. Its not a ******* crime to want a feature kept instead one after the other being shaved off like the camera or how much ccp is pushing the godawful new probing system. I care about this game because I ******* LOVE it. But when I see **** getting removed like this I die a bit on the inside. Because of this I am so passionate about voicing my opinion on it. CCP have been making the wrong moves in the last few months and its tiring.

ps gag is ironic and post with your main The last WH mapper tool I used was already in re-development via CREST a year ago due to the slated ingame browser removal. I'm not unaware of your complaint, or how reliant some players are on niche tools. That said, there are increasing numbers of CREST based tools. This isn't feedback btw, or remotely constructive. If they leave a broken IGB in place to appease people with bespoke tools it puts all potential users at risk. It's possible that a compromise could be reached, or certain functionality could be integrated into the client. But whipping out the 'CCP doesn't love us, the sky is falling, we're doomed' line of argument demolishes any credibility here, so try again.
This is my main btw. If I am a CCP shill, they better start paying me. But tbh, if I have an issue with a change I don't hesitate to report it, just don't see any point gibbering like a 5 year old. You carry on though, whatever works for you.

1) CREST allows you to access your tools from ANOTHER device, you don't have to use your laptop for 5 toons and a browser, you can use the browser on any other device.
Let me give you all an example when the In-Game Browser has a great impact on EVE. If you fly under NRDS (Not Red Don't Shoot) rule and a SPECTRE fleet comes in you want to be able to identify the red pilots as quickly as possible to avoid shooting those who are not known as hostile. Currenty the IGB allows setting standings quickly by clicking on a name of the hostile party which opens an in-game window from which the standing can be set quickly. I do not see how it could be done from another device; not to mention that this functionality does not work with the Out Of Game Browser. Unfortunately for NRDS it is just another example of user generated content which as far as I can tell is not part of in-game mechanics. The in-game mechanics does not really support NRDS in itself, so removal of IGB and the extended functionality it provides might have a negative impact on this play style. I really hope at this point that you are not going to draw parallels that NRDS is a "substantial margin" of EVE as most of it is NBSI (Not Blue Shoot It) anyway, just as it was said in the DEV blog that most players do not use the IGB.
I also cannot understand, why do you even expect the player to buy another device of any sort to play the game? The game gives you the most entertaining experience when it has all the features included in it. Many functions that the IGB has to offer are unfortunately not included in the game itself. However, the IGB allows the player to reach outside sources which does not force them to minimize the game and as such makes it a great UI extension. |

If you're going to cut the cord, then you need to have solid support for users who are not 'Windows Centric'
- WINE doesn't function well in a windowed mode, and the framerate performance starts to crawl and cause all sorts of twitchy issues.
- I have yet to get anything to function from an Overlay perspective in Wine.
- Needing to bounce in and out of Eve to look stuff up makes for a poor user experience. (Especially on the Mac, using the full-screen WINE client.)
- Mac Support - Browser centric models don't discriminate against users of alternate operating systems.
- Checking information regarding missions/reference material while keeping focus on the game is a crucial part of the In Game Experience.
- Forcing people to run either in a Windowed Mode or have multiple monitors is not player friendly
- Loosing the IGB is CERTAINLY not new-user friendly. (What are your IGB stats for new user accounts and trial accounts that aren't associated with either the same credit card, or email address?) The lack of information about the game available IN GAME is painful from a learning perspective. The New User Experience is painful at best, and being able to pull up references that allowed me to find my own answers was great. While staying in game.
- Poor user experience may not kill it for everyone, but poor New User Experience and a lack of proper in-game resources will kill it for lots of folks. (Especially for those who don't run windows.)

The Ingame browser will still be around until october, Links just wont default to it. By the time October rolls around, You will probably already be using your iOS / Android device as your browser / EVE Multitool for ingame and out of game stuff, or of course you will also be able to use Safari, FireFox, Edge or Chrome to access the same tools, along with your legacy tools.
To me Crest looks to be capable of delivering a lot, loosing the ingame browser is going to be an adjustment, but its for the best. Let it go, and hell, while you are at it #LetLetitGoGo!

I don't have an iPad and no way in hell I'm relying on my iPhone for regular information for Eve. I don't see how the october time frame has any relevance to the fact that there is absolutely no overlay options for Mac users, are you just arguing we must be at a disadvantage compared to windows players? The IGB/Overlay aspect is hugely valuable, and honestly pretty critical to a lot of activity in the game. |

As a new player I did not find out about the IGB untill I clicked a link in Local chat... It was a Porn Link. I did not use it again until my CEO linked me to some tools like Dotlan, which worked better for me out of game than they did in game. I did most of my web / tools stuff out of game on a phone, tablet, in station ALT-Tabbing, and I learned most of the game mechanics from EXPERIENCING the game, watching video's, and learning from my corpmates. At no time have I ever been dependent on the In game browser. I learned how to play without it, it made no difference for me as a newbie, and I doubt it would for anyone else if they hadn't been TAUGHT to rely on it. Times Change, Games change, and the tools will also change.
