CCP Phantom C C P C C P Alliance 1146	Posted - 2012.04.18 14:32:00 - [1] - Quote Were you ever scrambled or affected by ewar and tried desperately to find the pilot(s) providing you with that much virtual ewar love so that you can return the favour with deadly missiles, drones or gunfire? Did you ever fail to spread your love due to icons being very small in the overview? Then rejoice and read this devblog by CCP karkur and learn more about the first version of the new effects bar, released in the upcoming Escalation! CCP Phantom - German Community Coordinator

A really awesome tweak would be if you could ctrl-click on the names that appear when you right click the icon to target the hostile. Anything that reduces the number of nested menus required in combat would be really good. Also this: Max Teranous wrote: I'd really like to see warp scrambling and warp disrupting seperated out into different icons - the 2 effects are very different nowadays. Other than that, cool for a first iteration. Max The first one would require some changes to the menus (affecting all of them)... of course something that "could" be done, but something we would really need to think about since it's not an isolated change for the Effects Bar. The second one... I'll suggest that to Team Five O, which just borrowed me to implement this and really owns this going forward. This is not a change that I would want to do at this point, simply because I am not sure what other consequences that could have. CCP karkur \| UI Programmer \| Team Avatar \| @CCP_karkur

We do have designs for feature, but I think it's great to get this out now, as it is, to get feedback from you guys on where you would like to take it CCP karkur \| UI Programmer \| Team Avatar \| @CCP_karkur

Can the icons have a glowing circle around them so we can see duration, or maybe have smaller vertical time bars extending out of the top of each status effect? Adding the timers to the icons would have been a bigger task and would have taken longer to implement, and we didn't really have the time to do that now.

CCP karkur C C P C C P Alliance 741	Posted - 2012.04.19 09:54:00 - [15] - Quote Debir Achen wrote: One concern: what mechanism is used for ordering the EW icons? I notice that the icons in one picture show Nos, RSD, Web and the other RSD, Nos, Web, ... . IMO, it is useful if they have a consistent order. They are now ordered as they come in.... the new one is always added to the right and everythings moves because the bar is centered. I think we just need to see how this plays out on TQ... if it turns out that mot people want to have them in fixed place we might change that behavior later on. And you guys do have some good ideas regarding the ctlr+clicks but just so you knows, that is not going to be implemented before it hits TQ. I have to admit that I am really tempted to go to work now (first day of summer so we have the day off, yay Iceland) and implement some ctrl magic but it really has to be thought all the way through and designed properly (ctrl+click works when there is one targeting you but not not many could be confusing, ctrl+click to target all might not fly with the server programmers, ctrl+click in the menu to target would mean we would have to change the basic menus, target the first one to attack you, target the last one to attack you, target the one first on the list, target the one with the most/least modules, etc.). That being said, we do have some designs for it which I think cover targeting back, but I'm not sure how that was supposed to work because we were only aiming to get you the icons above the HUD right now (even the right click menu is a plus to allow you to interact with the icons... it might even be removed when the bar is iterated on and you get some other way of interacting with the icons) CCP karkur \| UI Programmer \| Team Avatar \| @CCP_karkur

Let's say you have a choice between two different versions of this system: A as it stands now on Singularity (per devblog and video) and B that would include more features and functionality; but then at different times since more development would be needed for B, you can get A on 24 Apr but could get B at some later time (and you would not get A during that time). Why would you pick B? I could understand it if you all had completely lost faith in us iterating (e.g., on the UI) but I'm hoping that we have been demonstrating in the last 6 months (since we started on Crucible) our commitment to iteration and incremental improvements, in particular UI improvements. Barring that then A would appear to be the obvious choice, right? Let me complicate the example a bit: A is the version on Singularity A1 is the version that will appear on Tranquility with some extra polish (NOTE: I'm not making promises on CCP karkur's behalf; she may be able to add something, but perhaps there won't be any time given other things that are ongoing before the deployment; quite possibly then A = A1) A2 is a future version that we develop based on the future designs we already have, based on actual usage on Tranquility, and based on your feedback from using the feature on Tranquility B is a future version that we develop based on the future designs we already have, but not based on actual usage on Tranquility, and not based on your feedback from using the feature on Tranquility Isn't it better to get A/A1 now and A2 later vs. getting B later? Both because you will have A/A1 until that later time and because A2 will be a more polished system than B (given the extra feedback; and keep that feedback coming!). Erlendur S.

Why would you pick B? It is understandable why players who don't know about CCP background on iterating whould pick A, but it's more interesting why wouldn't you pick B over A as a developer? Because it makes more sense to us to come up with a staged future design, implement the first stage, get that first stage into the hands of the players, get feedback, validate or modify the later stages, repeat. Players get something tangible and valuable sooner and we get data and other feedback to iterate on the future design. Erlendur S.

That's the practical way of doing it in terms of resources and is proper risk management in terms of code changes. Yeah I get that. Your iterative approach is less risky but I feel it would be more progressive to iterate in chunks rather than one small thing at a time. We will do it in a balance of smaller iterations and chunks. You will see one such chunk in a devblog from CCP Optimal and CCP Arrow soon (and on SiSi in the next couple of weeks). Erlendur S.
