Carefull about the small pox , you’ll be quarantine with those with coronavirus

Now all the capsuleers must be quarantine …

Someone has to make that joke !!!

To put the current situation we players are confronted with into perspective, here are some examples of ā€œthe good old daysā€ when there was a real and sustained effort to communicate with the player base, due process if you will, instead of throwing :poop: over the wall.



How times have changed.

Thanks for providing those those examples, @Yor_Stoo.

I’d like to add, as someone who has just started playing, I am watching the development of this ā€œfeatureā€ very carefully, and especially how communication with the users is handled. I am currently an alpha clone, but I can assure you that this behavior is not going unnoticed, and it’s certainly going to influence my decision on whether going forward, I’m going to invest any money into this game.

So far, it’s not looking good. While I do enjoy the game very much, in the three weeks I’ve been playing it, I’ve already ran into a number of bugs ranging from ā€œslightly weird, but okayā€ to ā€œpretty effing annoyingā€. Seeing a new ā€œfeatureā€ being added that provides absolutely no utility, and is poorly implemented on top, and then simply ignoring the entire user base, who seems to universally loathe it, is just putting a bad taste in my mouth. This is certainly not the kind of company behavior I want to support, and rest assured, I will be voting with my wallet.

This trainwreck of a feature has been out for over week now, and I have literally not seen a single person who actually liked it. On top of that, I have seen no official statement from CCP, no attempt at damage control, literally no reaction at all (except locking up all the forum threads about it). This entire thing just reeks of reckless arrogance, and it’s putting a fat stain on an otherwise quite enjoyable and fascinatingly well crafted game.

I sure hope that we’ll see a change of heart soon. It would really suck to be joining EVE just at the moment it goes down the toilet.

I can see narrow niche uses for this ā€œfeatureā€, but it is such an annoying change that it should default to off and be opt-in.

It would be more useful if it had a user definable threshold to appear. Perhaps ā€œappear only on item stacks over 100m ISKā€ with 100m being user defined.

Until this change can be made, this ā€œfeatureā€ should be scrapped. The game was better without the constant nuisance.

You really don’t have to make that joke. It is a shyte joke.

Checkboxes in options please. Turn off inventory notices, turn off inventory sounds.

You could also add inventory mails, every time an item goes into the inventory send player a mail stating so…like …go big… if this is a legit problem for people warranting a red dot notice. Just give the rest of us a way to not be badgered by the UI.

5 Now… maybe the red circles are not annoying enough and ccp needs to find something even worse :slight_smile:

I think this feature is a miss. You don’t really need notification for non-fleet hangars since rest of transfers are transfers you either done manually or was striving for (Mission objective magically teleported in your cargo, which also triggers mission notification change, making red dot redundant).

Call yourselfs ISD, all you do is antagonize people.

Just fix it already and stop wasting people’s time by creating even more useless threads.

Hi, I believe you have ISD confused with CCP. Allow me a brief moment to explain the difference between the two.

CCP are the folks that make, develop, and run EVE Online for a living.

ISD are volunteers who work under CCP and help the community out. They have next to no say in ā€œfixingā€ game mechanics.

Thank you!

I was was judging by some of your replies…

Yeah… erm…

inb4lock!! Hahahahaha!!

They can block me if they wish, i don’t give a ā– ā– ā– ā– , i created a thread the other day about the infamous red dot and it was closed in minutes by the above ISD for ā€œredundancyā€, yet next day he starts one on the very same subject.

I give up.

PS… one law for them…

Well, it’s either Red Dot thread or CODE Space Bully again.

ā€œSomeoneā€ sneakily unchecked the box for playing sounds in the normal Notifications window, must be someone’s idea for a fix :thinking:
