Our corp has 7 people in it. 7 people representing 7 different timezones from California to Australia.
We use Eve time to simplify communications. With Eve time comes Eve date. Our wormhole is very "sig" active. Time and date is our life blood and it is frequently that someone in the corp logs off before the next one logs on. Therefore we date everything we do.
If that explanation does not make more sense to the contrary of CCPs ****** up explanation then I am barking at doves. Then again, we all know CCP do not play Eve. Looking at the thing, how could they?
Out of 7 people I hear, "where's the ******* date?" 30 times a day. |

15 minutes of work maybe - but to make sure it doesn't break anything (like perhaps the entire calendar) it's a good idea to test ot for 15 days...
Removing the date however reminds me of CCP removing the "pinned windows" feature because "nobody used it" hehe. Well - Thank you for being innovative and getting lots of things done - But expect some judgement errors when you have people working hard like this. I think it's great, but plz be prepared to react if it turns out to have unforeseen consequences.
Thx for getting the date back :-)

If you're going to futz with the item, then you should add the day-of-month value back to the clock. Not just add some tooltip which will be just as annoying to use as the current "open the calendar" workaround. |

CCP Optimal wrote:We intentionally removed the date. It was initially added to draw attention to the fact that clicking that area would open up the calendar rather than due to anyone feeling that displaying the current date in such a prominent place was necessary. Now, with the new Neocom, the calendar has it's own button making it easily accessible, and the current date is clearly displayed within that window. We don't remove things like these because we're evil, but rather because we don't feel that the information being displayed is important enough to justify taking up valuable screen space.
this is cool....
except....
what about your players on old rigs that hesitate when multiple windows are open.... like... market, contracts, assets, etc.... and then i need to check today's date really quick... so mow i have to open yet another window... when before I could just glance in the corner...
So, i open the calendar to see the date and...oh .....wait....its locked up....too much at once.....
good job supporting old rigs ccp! |

Got to love CCP, ask them for one thing and they give you the slight different "because you asked for 2 and we're going to give you 1 3/4 cause we think its better" routine...
at least we get something! |

Maybe allow players to decide themselves what information is important for them and if the space taken by it is justified or not - make an option to display date or not.
Tool-tip IMO is not a good alternative since it requires action of moving a mouse over the time instead of just looking.

Give us the option to display it as any or all of the following:
- EVE Day of Week (localized using the short abbreviation such as Mon/Tue/Wed, default to OFF) - EVE Date (default to ON) - EVE Time (default to ON) - Local Time (default to OFF)
The defaults for the date area should match how it's been for the last few years.
What this man said. It cant be hard to code these options under right click over clock menu. You can surely make it so that clock as it's now (takes half of the height of new group) auto adjust to take max two group heights (all 4 options on.) What's more, I do hope that all the things like this, captain quarters, then return to ship hangar teach it's much much better to code in OPTIONS. Instead of first coding something, then later backtracking resources to it simply because people generally dislike being forced to adopt new things.
Think about it, if you had coded the above options in at first spot, instead of simple removal, the person atm splitting hairs over coding tooltips and whatnot in wouldnt need to do that, what's more, you could have touted it as FEATURE "Now you're able to control what important data you want to see and what not." Instead of "we thought you didnt want that feature(ship spinning, date, xyz) anyway."
Please, for love of whatever that's holy and left in CCP office, learn from these mistakes as people generally dislike complaining of similar things over and over after each patch. |

Why dont you just ask us (the players) if we can justify it taking up 10 pixels in the bottom corner.
All these worthless changes without a shred of communication about whether the players would like it or not.

I'd like the date back too. I joined last May so I've had the date in the corner for my whole Eve career, it is invaluable since I'm on a different date than the server for 2/3rds of the day.
Not a tooltip, please -- an option in the config dialog so people who want it can have it all the time.
Thanks! |

Date back please, it's ridiculous to say the date takes up real estate space it's right at the bottom corner and the neocom can be set to hide itself anyways. Don't treat us like children and give us lame excuses that has no common sense in it. Peace is the way of my war. |

Thank you so much CCP
Clicking on Date = Caldander makes alot more sense than clicking on a clock Maybe we should get an alarm tool for the clock to log us off after a set time who knows.

A tooltip is not much of an improvement over what we have to deal with now. It's information that we used to have right in front of us, now hidden away behind a mouse movement.
Most folks would be happy if you'd simply stick the day of month number back above the clock as the default (so "day-of-month", line break, "EVE time"). With an option to turn off the day-of-month display and just show the EVE time.
You would get bonus points for allowing even more customization such as displaying the day of week or local time in addition to the EVE clock as options. |

Guys, it's not you were asked for. Really. The point of having a date is to be able to see it easily, without additional actions like moving the mouse. Please, don't start selective hearing thing again.
