We all hope this maintenance will include reverting that Monster of the training skill abomination you added in.
PLEASE! Remove it !

Look, I normally play devilās advocate and try to stop people judging changes too quickly, butā¦ well Iāve only been playing a couple of months but the new skills panel is justā¦ confusing.
It opened to the āSkill Plansā page initially, and it took me a good 30 seconds of staring at it to even figure out what Iām looking at. Itās likeā¦ the opposite of intuitive. Itās scary because itās so utterly meaningless. Thereās 4 GIANT buttons across the middle, and I have no clue what theyāre for, what they mean, what they do. Theyāre so big I actually didnāt even realise they were buttons to start with. Not only that, but everythingās got so much glow on it that itās actually difficult to read.
Then thereās theā¦ tabs? ā¦at the top. Thereās zero visual separators or indicators, so I had (and still have) immense trouble comprehending what Iām looking at. Like youāve got a tab control at the top, with another child tab control below it, but thereās no consistency between them? What? How am I supposed to realise that theyāre both tab controls? And then the child tab control is just floating in nothingness with no indicator that itās in any way a child of the parent tab control. Itās like this was designed by someone whoās never actually used a UI before.
Letās not even mention the four tiny faction buttons at the bottom or the ridiculously small scrolling section at the bottom that contains bizarrely enormousā¦ things? I donāt even know what they are or what they do.
Itās like they thought that if they removed all the visual aids to comprehension, removed consistency between parts of the interface, made some parts unreasonably large and others incongruously small, and then didnāt add any useful information about what is being displayed that it would make it easier for new players. Was it designed by marketing? Do they realise that EVE is always going to be massive and complex and you canāt simplify the interface without simplifying the whole game?
Better high-level overviews are what will keep players in the game. Explain what the game is, what you do, and give an understanding of what various terms mean. The game has been around for so long that thereās dozens of terms and words that are totally meaningless to new players, and frustratingly difficult to find answers to. These are the problems that need solving.

Whatās wrong with the character sheet? Genuinely curious. I get to see my whole character, which just seems like an obvious good change. Bearing in mind Iām a new player and donāt use the char sheet for anything.
I like the whole character image in the new character tab. But the skill menu needs some improvement. The current tabs do not include skill training price, or skill training time when I hover over them. IMO this is big issue.

Please consider that the skill UI negativity comes from +35yr olds that have played the game for +15yrs. If they donāt say whatās wrong then ignore them.
The old UI was horrendus, the new UI takes some time getting used to but is much better over all in design and performance.
If we complain loud enough, they ought to revert, right? 
I hate the new skill panel. Itās unintuitive, missing core functionality that Iād expect to see in an upgrade (?) (why am I no longer able to preview the length of a skillās training before putting in the list?), takes up a ton of screen space, makes micromanaging difficultā¦
Itās like they hired someone whoās never played Eve and told them āmake something with pretty graphics!ā.
I wonder if the new skill plans go hand-in-hand with the expert systems. Something along the lines of āenablingā newbros to train their rental skills they paid for with expert systems in this new aMAazing!111 UI.
Meh.

Yeah, the new skill interface sucks bad. Itās huge, clunky, painful to navigate. I also prefer the old one.
Also, does the extreme number of Cassandra Tyrannasaurus Rex warp ins have anything to do with faction warfare? Because I experienced an extreme number of them all at the same timeā¦ My screen looked like the Goon vs PAPI battleā¦

The new UI elements are way too big compared to the rest of the UI. I use 300% scale to make everything readable, but this makes the new character sheet 2ā tall. IF I reduce the UI scale the new elements are fine but the old UI elements arenāt readable.
The new skills menu doesnāt allow me to see the actual number of skill points in each skill? And itās more difficult to see what the primary attributes are without just looking at the category.

What is wrong with it ? Dudeā¦ everything is wrong with it, I could write down probably multiple pages about all of the stuff thatās wrong with it. But many others already did on reddit in 10 different threads, so there is no point to explain it again.
This is complete full on screw up. There was no damn testing of this crap and there is not even opt-in, they just slapped this garbage on live like itās nothing.
Itās just a joke, the biggest blunder Iāve ever seen in EVE.
ps: Just read first 10-20 comments on this page, itās always saying the same ā ā ā ā , same as reddit, that itās complete failure, I canāt even imagine how someone could make it worse than this. And no way in hell someone actually playing the game made this UI.

I just stopped trying and manage using the android app. The new interface isnāt usable.
Iām just going to throw my 2 cents in here. The new skill UI is a giant elephant turd. NO excuse for it to take up the whole screen, NOT OPEN up immediately where you can start training new skills etcā¦ Skill plans could have easily been implemented just like the simulated fits: In itās OWN WINDOW, separate from regular skill training.
