EVE Gate Shutdown – Wednesday September 27th

That’s really presumptuous and so ridiculous. I love how CCP talks to it’s customers these days. Keeping it real classy Falcon.

may be of interest to some people.

It’s very much in development. But the core functionality is there.

:slight_smile: I know that’s gone, good ridance to it IMO. I just need a place to use that cane.

Very nice :roll_eyes:, a dismissive & contemptuous response to a cient, down-voted.

A phone screen is not a computer screen & phone buttons are not a keyboard, a phone app is NOT a replacement for a computer app.

I use EVE Gate to check skill queues a fair bit.

It saves me a lot of time logging in to the client waiting for it to load logging off, logging in to the client again… etc.

So is their going to be any porting of those services across to another app :worried: because I see no mention of that up there?

Also is there any hope for plans to replace it with a new PC app because a phone screen simply isn’t big enough for convenient use & typing on a phone is certainly not as comfortable or quick as typing on a keyboard… a phone app’s great when you don’t have a PC handy but really isn’t a replacement for the convenience when at home of a PC app.

Snarky response from CCP Falcon - check. Confirms my thoughts about how this would play out. Forget having Eve Mail except in the horrible phone app.

You sure aren’t a very good community manager are you? You’re about to remove functionally which you say isn’t even being looked at being replaced till next year and then ■■■■ on your customer base for not being happy about it. Keep it classy

I’m not sure about the mobile version of the site, but you have several options to jump to the first post in any thread on the PC. You can click the top date on the bar on the right side, you can grab the slider on the bar and drag it up, or you can press the Home button on your keyboard.

I uninstalled that app along time ago as it had next to no iterative updates and functionality was severely broken for me.

I hope CCP has some sort of plan to get out of game mail access functions restored asap. The gate was useful (when it worked over the last severely months)

The mobile app isn’t great. Barely worked for me when it was being updated. Details not refreshing, issues accessing mails etc (yes I opened bug reports and I’m pretty sure they were either never updated to attached or just out right closed)

I don’t want to have to spend time on my phone to respond to an evemail when I have a much nicer, larger 27" at home and a 24" display to look at.

Honestly… I thought you guys just gave up on it quietly shuffled off to pasture with other in development features. I could have been wrong, but no info generally = dead. Especially when it so heavily talked about during fanfest, etc.

Looks at Google Play Store” Yup, Last update JULY 27th, 2017. Going to assume the issues I had are still there.

Just to be clear, I am not salty about Eve Gate shutting down just because I like to be salty.

Eve Mail, via Eve Gate is one of the most useful tools I have as a Corporation Recruiter.
If I am at work, surfing the forums to find potential recruits, I use Eve Mail to reach out to them immediately via Eve Gate. I can do this on my PC, while still appearing to work.

The future state means I would have to get on my phone (with my OLD eyes) and try and Eve Mail someone from an app that from all accounts is awful. Instead of looking like I am working, I look like everyone else with their face buried in a Smart phone 18 hours a day.

It’s that or wait until I get home from work, which then puts me hours behind in getting back to folks who posted.

Sure my reasons are selfish, and perhaps strange, but the loss of this tool is going to hurt my corp.

Thanks @Steve_Ronuken!

You’re being selfish in response to your interactions with a game which you (theoretically) spend money on for your own enjoyment?
Shame on you
