Grey Stormshadow draketrain Confederation of xXPIZZAXx 929	Posted - 2012.02.17 21:02:00 - [1] - Quote This unofficial thread contains mainly features what have been in game earlier, but have been removed for some reason and not reintroduced on later date. This list may also contain high priority items which have been promised (but not delivered) earlier. Other random entries are possible if enough reasoning exists. This list is maintained by author and he may use very selfish and biased selection procedure to pick up more items to the list from the replies in this thread. The goal is to keep the list very clear on item specific level and gather them all to one place. Global entries such as "add WIS as promised" will not make the cut. Reasoning why each item is in list will not be provided - it should be clear enough without the explanation. Feel free to contribute and/or comment. Hate mail is as welcome as the positive one. Current unofficial task list: Neocom - Add narrow task bar to bottom of the screen where you can minimize windows so that their labels remain visible. -> It is also extremely important that minimized chat labels have user count visible and that minimized labels blink when there is activity. - Make "chat"-button optional. - Modify blink so that it activates on event, blinks couple times and leaves icon highlighted. Make it re-blink after each new event. - Add notification blink to "contract"-button. - Add notification blink to "journal"-button. - Move "items" and "ships"-icons away from undock button and left people to customize their order/location. - Remove random useless junk which is appearing to neocom bar when doing invention, opening cargo containers and so on. - Add character name to neocom to make it easier to multi-box and quickly tell which client you're using. - Add date to the clock. - Add shortcut icon for compare tool. Keyboard shortcuts and overview locking - Add option to enable/disable shortcut key applying to "preselected overview item". -> when enabled lock the overview when mouse is over the overview window. - Add option to enable/disable activated shortcut key applying to "clicked overview item". -> when enabled lock the overview when any shortcut key is held down. - Add shortcut option for compare tool. In space controls - Add option to enable/disable automatically approach object on open cargo feature. Misc UI - Fix copy pasting ISK amounts to ISK input box. It stopped working during "," "." decimal divider update. - Stop to random setting resets after patches. Usually related to window positions / tab widths. Forums - Fix forum BBcode parse error which percent signs may cause. - Allow us to post images and use signature images. - Fix signature editing tool. - Add support function to assembly hall. - Fix session time out which frequently eats (usually time consuming and well written) posts. - Add more customization options to forum layout. Option to disable side borders and background image is minimum demand to increase usability. Get

Valei Khurelem 330	Posted - 2012.02.17 21:53:00 - [4] - Quote This is a fantastic idea, hope this thread doesn't get logged, I'll post my stuff here, lets list everything the players want! I'll put in my stuff, bold is the most important . Colour/Logo/Paint customisation for ships . Far more player interaction in the game whether it's mining or combat . Give far more players access to blueprint copying . Lock UI option so it won't get dragged around too easily . Some sort of simple objective notification on the HUD so we don't have to bring up the journal . Gameplay content that isn't just a load of massive timesinks, missions shouldn't last 1 - 2 hours . Legalise botting or stomp it out entirely, a decision needs to be made . Destroy the Nex Store BURN IT ALL! . End the CSM as it has clearly turned into something that is purely designed to benefit certain alliances and only they understand the system properly enough to utilize it, CCP should be listening to everyone equally not just a select few special interests . Go back to the drawing board with captain's quarters and don't come back until you have the full thing . Don't add more tiers/techs in your equipment and ships, focus on making the game more balanced . More anti-blob options that benefit solo or small gangs . Make mining barges worthwhile especially Exhumers . Exploration content is one of the few things working in this game! Make more of it! You have tons of empty space being unused . If Dust 514 is absolutely not coming to PC then please make an alternative version for EVE players as an expansion, I think ship boarding and station combat would be a fantastic idea "don't get us wrong, we don't want to screw new players, on the contrary. The core problem here is that tech 1 frigates and cruisers should be appealing enough to be viable platforms in both PvE and PvP." -á - CCP Ytterbium
Jafit Dreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 37	Posted - 2012.02.17 22:02:00 - [5] - Quote This is the most vital fix that CCP needs to instigate. http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Exotic_Dancers As you can see, an exotic dancer has a volume of 1m^3 and a mass of 50kg. That's fine But look at this! http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Group_Of_Exotic_Dancers http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Large_Group_Of_Exotic_Dancers A large group of exotic dancers has a volume of 400m^3, but a mass of 400,000kg?! That's 1 metric ton per dancer assuming that there are 400 dancers in a group, as would be the case if they were all 1m^3 dancers herded together into a pen, which is how they should be transported I know we've all had that one fat girl that we had a good time with but didn't want to tell our friends about, but if your dancers are going to weigh 1 metric ton each they should at least occupy more space. I don't know what the average mass density of the human body is but I know that 1 metric ton per cubic meter is too much. So CCP, sovereignty and super-capitals can wait (weight, heh) you need to fix this glaring and pressing issue.
Rixiu North Star Networks The Kadeshi 99	Posted - 2012.02.17 22:14:00 - [6] - Quote Sov -Remove three of the four timers that need to be grinded when taking a system and nerf stucture hp with 66.82%. -> Stop the sov grind where the hostiles come on the last timer and save the system forcing the attackers to start over. -If a SBU (doesn't matter how many) are onlined in a system the sov level index thingy stop ticking and all ihub upgrades are disabled. -> Slight nerf to "defensive SBUs" - Concider removing "system is vulnerable" notifications making it possible to ninja claim those systems that never are used and owned by that giant blob. UI - Redo the entire overview setting window, it's plain out broken and extremely unintuitive. - Redo the market window, especially the group page for all modules of the same type. -> Instead of them all thrown together in a pile they should be sorted by meta level and somehow it need to be made clearer that there are 5 different variations of one gun instead of 15 different guns like noobs believe atm. For example by grouping them together better. + Mega Beam Laser I - Mega Afocal Maser I - Mega Modal Laser I etc. Misc. - Change the backgrounds of the ship preview window so that instead of the generic blue-green nebulae the new ones are there instead and each race has it's own nebulae background -> Similar to how it looks in the spaceship preview on eveonline.com

Lets not... there is ideas and suggestions forums for those + the little things thread. Try to stick in features which are either broken, need to be updated because of some magic reason or have vanished from the game. If some totally new "item" makes it way to the list, it has to be really neutral thing what would benefit most players on their daily tasks somehow. Players want plenty of stuff, but they rarely agree about the things they want. This is why I try to keep my "own" wishes away from the list also and focus on the obvious flaws and issues. The fixes and changes have to be clear and if something divides people to 2 opposite camps, it probably doesn't belong here. Getting old functionality back is the priority. If there is something what can be done to make it even better - that is extra. Get

Ok thx... after reading this thread I get a feeling that this is more or less issue with some bright nebulas than issue with missing black bars. Reintroducing black bars would certainly fix the problem from areas where the bars are, but leave the other areas as they are. This would clearly be solution for some, but is it the optimal one? Before adding the item to list I would like to hear some additional suggestions and comments about the issue and nebula blindness. Are those nebulas which are too bright limited to certain few and/or what would be the best methods to fix or get around the issues? Are the black bars necessary if such method can be found? Should some UI items be less transparent or have some static backdrop? Is this problem appearing only with certain colours? If black bars would be reintroduced, what additional measures should be taken to fix other areas of the issue? Personally I think that simple solution lays in adding some drop shadow or similar to white fonts, which seem to vanish to some nebulas rather well. My opinion however relies pretty heavily to these 2 screen shots you people had posted to that thread. Specially the text under target labels on 2nd example becomes rather unreadable as it is. Example 1 - Example 2. Get

Grey Stormshadow draketrain Confederation of xXPIZZAXx 938	Posted - 2012.02.22 07:09:00 - [23] - Quote There has been some recent changes to overview locking system but I see those fixes inadequate as final solution. Only known true and proper solution is as explained in todo list. It does require coordination between keyboard shortcut team and overview UI team, but it shouldn't be reason not to fix it properly. Besides plenty of people have been complaining about shortcut key behaviour long before overview locking problem even existed. If it was fixed way back then already, most likely we didn't have the issues we have at the moment. Will leave the items there up to the point they are fixed or other as good truly working solution has been found. Get

Terazul The Scope Gallente Federation 9	Posted - 2012.03.03 20:06:00 - [28] - Quote Obvious visual things that need to be done eventually: - V3 all the ships (now in the works) - Visible missile launchers (now in the works) - Customizable ships (now in the works) - Visible ship damage - Better ship deaths (gradual deaths for larger ships instead of SUDDEN EXISTENCE FAILURE, combine with above for massive immersion boon) - Ship-specific wrecks (instead of the generic unidentifiable masses we currently get) - Random hit locations (instead of hitting the same spot over, and over, and over, and over...) Pipe dream: VISIBLE CREW MEMBERS. I want to see those buggers spilling out into space! Also, escape pods. Yeah, this ain't happenin' any time soon... Anyways, I think if all of the above were accomplished, even the boring monotony of ratting could become a glorious spectacle as you behold your ship chipping away or catastrophically damaging enemy ships without looking at health bars, allowing you to witness the carnage as their hull is breached, sending hapless crew members spilling out into the void of space, doomed to die of exposure to vacuum, if not from the inevitable explosion of the ship itself. I'd also love to be able to one day breach enemy communications and listen in as they scream in frustration and agony as my ship bores its way into their hull. As their fleets whittle down towards nothing, I would smile as I hear the remaining forces growing increasingly panicked as they realize their chances of survival have become equivalent to null and void. As it is, however, the act of blowing up battleships is such a boring, pedestrian affair, with none of the humanity that an actual space battle would entail, as there are so many elements that would make it much clearer that you are decimating and slaughtering hundreds or thousands of people with every turret blast. But I digress. This is kind of outside the scope of this thread, I know...

Need more and better starting agents that teach you the ropes a bit better some of them are ok but there are things missing that need to be teach to players when coming in to eve. Its not about making the gamer easier its about teaching players how to use the tools they have been given better. The UI in general could also use an upgrade as well, things just feel a bit all over the place and could use the clean up. Also been able to change your UI would be rely nice too, moving things or removing things u never use ect, the little things add up a lot in eve.

Or is there something I'm missing? Yea... it requires moving the bars to bottom manually unless they were "snapped" to the edge. However if they changed it so, that double clicking the header bar would work like the old minimize function did (also move the bar to bottom), perhaps people would find that as workaround they could live with. Hard to tell really - there is always a change that someone actually likes the current double click feature and would be sad seeing it go away. Personally I can say that I liked all windows minimizing to bottom bar, as I always had "work in progress"-windows open there and those also reminded me about unfinished tasks. Now days I don't even want to try guess from neocom icons which one is in "minimized" and which "closed" state. Also if there was narrow horizontal bar, they could fit the date and character name back without any problem. CCP should take time to think over the neocom project, write devblog about the changes they propose and see how it will be received. It is not totally junk - it is just unfinished and some features are poorly designed with eye candy on top usability on bottom. My list is more or less guide line of the lost features and about stuff people have been talking about in forums. There may be additional ways to provide the same benefits and functionality. With some communication and effort the end product would be really much better. Get
Roime Shiva Furnace 263	Posted - 2012.03.08 14:17:00 - [40] - Quote But you only need to move it to the bottom once? When you doubleclick to expand it, it still sticks to the bottom. I disliked the old functionality, because the minimized windows overlapped the stuff I already had on the bottom. I usually closed windows because the bottom part became cluttered. A bar area down there would reserve screen estate, unless they implemented it so that the region only appears once you minimize something. It would still look funny, unless you minimize a lot of windows there. Yes, I'd be sad if they removed this, but it co-existed with old minimize functionality so there probably is no reason to remove it. Window buttons/features don't need to be limited, having all three would make most sense: - doubleclick to flatten it to it's header bar - minimize from min button to NeoCom - minimize to bottom region with shift-something (or vice versa, you get the point) The Neocom icons and their visual clues do need a lot of work. I still have hard time distinguishing them from each other, and the minimized state is not visible at all.

I still have hard time distinguishing them from each other, and the minimized state is not visible at all. Yep... you just described one way to improve things and also one way to use the windowing system. People are used to something and would rather stick with the behaviour if it has felt fine to them. If there are improvements, they should be done in such way, that at usability remains at least on same level Quite a few people have way too many windows open to keep them on bottom. The "double clicking header bar and moving window to bottom"-solution has been brought up before and the feedback has been mostly negative as it being real solution to lost usability there. It is one workaround for some though The reason why I've suggested having narrow maybe 12-13 pixels high bar on bottom was because quite a few, just like you, have been saying that "I disliked the old feature (mainly) because minimized windows overlapped the stuff I already had on the bottom". Having the actual bar there for windows would be improvement for that. It would also be small downgrade for screen estate, but in the end the benefits are greater than the losses for players as whole. Specially some additional information is added to the bar. Obviously the optimal solution would be to have option to either have the bar and minimize to bottom or not have the bar and minimize to neocom. That might be over complex to issue like this though Any way... because of stuff like this it would nice to have this project reopened and discussed to the point everyone (99%) can agree to. Get

At least I wasn't able to reproduce them any more when I tried briefly. 3 good steps taken, no new ones added. Get
Terminal Insanity Convex Enterprises Unprovoked Aggression 272	Posted - 2012.03.15 21:33:00 - [45] - Quote Grey Stormshadow wrote: not being fixed are something that CCP clearly tries to avoid. These include (but are not limited to) Modular POS, bounty system, ~~war dec mechanics~~* and corp/alliance roles and tools. Modular POS isnt just a 'small fix", it would change POS mechanics massively. It would affect many many players who might not want the change. It indeed needs to be discussed a lot more before they do anything to it Bounty System is forever broken. Why? Because i can create an alt account and collect the bounty myself. Nobody has yet come up with a solution to this. Present a solution, please. yeah wardec mechanics need a fix, though they seem to be changing the wardec mechanics... in favor of carebears which is kinda lol because, wardec is specifically for PVP... Corp/alliance roles/tools are also a MAJOR MASSIVE change. No matter how its changed, it will greatly effect the security of everyone's corps and alliances. It seems CCP's primary goal in Crucible has been to clean up all the 'little things', and they've done an -awesome- job at that. They've introduced really small but incredibly helpful features (Those yellow market orders, i'm lookin at you!), Condensed user lists, Retexturing and remodeling ships. The POS/Corp/Alliance management stuff im sure is to come, but thats probably for another expansion next year. Be happy that they've noticed all the small broken or annoying things, and are fixing them. 'death by a thousand paper cuts" is a terrible way to die

I don't see why it is up to us to lobby CCP incessantly to fix their game. They are on top of the world right now, but as seen last year, subscribers can leave at any time, and they will if the game doesn't deliver what they want. Tears will be shed and pants will need to be changed all round.
