I don't understand something, does CCP have a problem with the concept of UI ?
I mean, two years ago we had a not-great but decent UI to do our stuff. Today, what do we have ?
- We have lost the possibility to choose the colors of the UI. The actual choice of themes can't contentate everybody as it is "color on dark" and nothing else, you can't change the background etc... And depending of the quality and the setting of our monitors, some themes don't seem to have ant difference, especialy between variant I and II of all racial ones.
- The Neocom is now "separated" of the rest of the UI as it is transparent all the time even if you set the global transparency to zero. It don't feel right and sound amateurish as it seem to have forgot something...
- The Neocom looked less "dead" with the previous icons. Not like they didn't need a revamp, they really needed one... But this iteration is not really great. The Chribba proposition at this time was better.
- The overview icons was less numerous and so more efficient before. Now they are better looking but as they try to give us more precision by covering everything, it make it hard to distinguish anything without memorizing everyone of them. I rely only on the text of the overview now, the icons just give me the direction of the mass of reds on visual...
- The automatic resizing of the icons of the "Show Info" window is annoying depending of the selected item, as they can become too small to be really distinguable and usable especially on a big monitor, unless you raise the size of the window to avoid this automatic resizing. Yes, it is something who was added in 2007, it was a bad idea at this time, and now it is a real annoyance. I relate that because it is at this time that CCP begin to break the UI.
- The new map... Well, what can I say ? I use only the previous one...
- Etc.
- And now the locust sound and this damn Aura repeating nightmare. Hopefully they added all this GREAT sound options and so I have disable UI & Aura sounds... But I wonder how long they will remain, as CCP hate options.
Well, we gained some good stuff too about the UI. More overview tabs, fighter control... but it don't compensate years of slow but systematic destruction. |
