Hey CCP, how many ships did that modal dialog box cause to go pop as we frantically tried clicking "OK" on it?
Don't do that again, please.

Yeah CCP. Please - Dont let us know about stuff. Dont inform us. We pay for this game, with zero support, zero information, and zero Dev communication. So STOP BEING CONSIDERATE.
Oh btw - I held my sarcasm button down for that.

Actually I agree with the OP. Modal pop-ups randomly appearing are not good from a usability point of view.

I don't see why these kinds of announcements can't be echoed throughout every system's Local channel.
After all, it IS for communication, right? ------------------- "Kill a man one is a murderer; kill a million, a conqueror; kill them all, a God." -- Jean Rostand |

Wrong. Local is for smacking and intel gathering.
Announcements should be displayed in the constellation chat channels. ...

Modal popups are stupid in a action game. "Dear veterans, the servers will be closing in 30 minutes for a scheduled reboot just like the last 1000 days, please stay out of harms way! Unless you already died thanks to this popup, in which case the logs won't show it anyway! - The caring devteam"
Just get rid of them ffs or make them killable option.

Fail!
He's complaining about modal dialogs interrupting his interaction with the interface. (You know, the thing you interact with?) Not, the information.
Modal windows are dirty hacks. Even Microsoft admits it. You can read more about it in the giant link in my sig if you're so inclined. - Support fixing the UI|Suggest Jita fixes|Compact logs |

Edited by: Zombie Network on 13/03/2008 20:33:18 If only there was a way to send messages to people in game, some sort of messaging system- we could call it Evemail it would be great.
EDIT: You could even have mailing lists where people who are interested in this sort of stuff could subscribe to announcements.

i have nothing against popups about info.... but i DO have a issue whit the thing that you cant click anything else before you click ok on the damn thing.... that is the most ******* stupid thing CCP has ever created.... i have allmost lost 3 ships to this... and if i loose a ship to it .... im going to make a VERY unpolite petition
they should change it so you can still click stuff normally like modules and whatever. ---------------------------------- This is Me, fighting stupidity one post at a time. PS: There are no computer BUGs, there is stuff called "Random Features"

It used to be a popular strategy to send convo invites to your targets so that their interface locked up while they fussled with trying to cancel your invitations. That's why standard fleet op policy is to set Auto-Reject to invites these days. ------------------- "Kill a man one is a murderer; kill a million, a conqueror; kill them all, a God." -- Jean Rostand |

Originally by: Riho you cant click anything else before you click ok
That's the definition of modal.
Also, "Ok only" modal dialogs are the lowest form of dialog. - Support fixing the UI|Suggest Jita fixes|Compact logs |

Jesus this is the 4th useless pop notification inthe last few hrs. Who the hell is going info box happy lately? Please look into another method of passing info to players in game. A method that doesnt require you to click ok, or steal focus from whatever a player is doing at that time.

I like pop-up messages. I can make clicky clicky on them and time goes by. Please, do not nerf the pop-up messages, they are the cornerstone of any succesful mmorpg!.

Wow, we get this a handful of times every single day before downtime, you go and put it at a different time of day once and look what happens.
But yes, they are nasty, they didn't used to be there long ago, they need to go back to having a big counter in the top-middle of the screen instead, one that doesn't obstruct and doesn't need to be clicked.

So,,, instead of a popup,,, the servers just ditch on you mid combat for no apparent reason and when you finally log back on you're in a pod,,, again. Awesomesauce.

How about a popup that doesn't prevent you from activating modules until you click it? -------------------------------------------------- <3 my Drones |
