The January Release focuses on a number of fixes, as well as Improvements to The Agency and Forward Operating Bases, and a rework of the ammunition reloading system.
This release also includes more work to bring better graphics and textures to deadspace areas in missions, with more updates to textures and shaders on a large number of deadspace objects.
Check out the full patch notes for an in depth look at all the fixes coming with this release!
There needs to be a toggle for the new chat bubble its really annoying and prone to abuse or alternatively allow us to set all chats to compact mode.
The image below shows the problem if you want to show info on someone in local it is too easy to click start conversation instead. https://imgur.com/gOcGX5F
Please remove the chat bubble. I really don’t fancy having to set auto-reject because some ding-dong in Jita or whatever thinks it’s cute to mass chat invite everyone in local!
The new chat bubble needs to have a toggle, where it doesn’t show up at all. Its too easy to accidentally hit, especially in smaller UI options. a simple check-box in member list settings would work wonders.
Why the hell was the channel list icon replaced and moved? Now you have to fish for the tiny section on the edge of the tabs to open the window when it was so much more accessible and easy to find in the icon bar. Furthermore: Thank you for mindlessly removing the easy “click on the speech bubble to open the channel list” and replacing it with “Click on something next to the tabs to open the channel list”. Great work, really great work.
The last filter option should be where you want, you can select what level agent or “Highest Available” there is no way that you can put multiple of the same filter on (you can’t search for level 3’s that are available to you anymore). Wish they would have kept the agent finder at least until the bugs were gone …
New interface is garbage. Like literal slower, less useful, half-baked garbage.
Lack of access to R&D agents.
Maximum of 12 displayed agents.
Resource hog of a useless map in the background.
Inability to search for corporation agents within a specific area. This is actually really freaking important for those of us that like to station a jump clone or two in places 30+ jumps out for changing locale for a week while dodging a lazy market hub wardec. Or you know… finding where the 5+ agents in a single station places are to plan where you set your mission staging location.
Inability of the interface to be remotely useful to check on things in normal space while within jspace.
It is clear that this interface is more about looks and dumping new players directly into something to do… but fails to be useful for those of us that want to actually employ some planning.
The removal of the Agent Finder before the Agency version has been updated and improved to show the same results is a disaster. The original Agent Finder was a fast and compact tool, how can the Agency version even be considered an improvement?!?!?!
