Version 18.10 - General Feedback

You can all clearly see how careless CCP is. There are like hundred posts here from people clearly saying the new UI/font is just bad - not optimized and blurry, but the dev directly skipped these, even with people tagging him like 30x.
Another reason to buy plex and sub, oh wait.

I donā€™t have eye problems and its killing me, though that may change if this continues. It must be horrendous for those that do.

CCP at their best again.

The font looks fine to me. Maybe a notch more readable than before (although Iā€™ve always thought it was a bit too small). I wonder if those of you who are seeing it suddenly much smaller are using DPI scaling in Windows? Like you have a 4k 27 inch display with the Windows display setting set to show things at 200% or 300% size or whatever? Could be the font is failing to scale. That is a relatively common issue for applications.

Is it official CCP position on font issue? Why we didnā€™t get any comments on this matter for the whole day?

Please change something about the new font, or inserts the option to use the old font alternatively. The new font is difficult to read in small font sizes, while the white and coloured font, especially ā€œboldā€, is clearly too bright and too thick, which impairs clarity. Also, UI elements are partially overlapped in the ā€œd-scan rangeā€ field and in the scanner because the font is too wide.

Currently setting an avoided system as your destination does not give a warning either. So even with avoid on for Eden and Trigs if you set the destination as one of their systems that should be avoided you still end up getting killed with no warning or feedback.

they obviously dont see it as an problem and absolutely will not acknowledge it as an issue, everyone at CCP has 20/20 vision and damn it you should have too.

I have 4K monitor and play, err PLAYED at 175x scaling and font 13, was OK.
Nowā€¦ thanks but no thanks ā€¦

I posted a response in the secondary thread where the font issues are primarily discussed. Re-posting here for your convenience:

Changes of this nature can be very polarizing as they are subjective to everyoneā€™s personal experience and preferences. Based on what we can see some of you really like the change as it made the font more easily readable in certain situations and high resolution displays, while others are having a hard time bringing it to a comfortable point using the font and UI scaling settings available.

We are closely monitoring your feedback and are going to be tackling specific issues with overlapping text, blurriness of the bold font or spacing of characters that you have been speedily reporting. Please continue sharing your feedback and letting us know exactly what issues you are having with the updated font style, so we can pass it back to the team.

Font is blurry, hard to read, and keeps giving me a headache. Might have to quit EVE altogether if there isnā€™t a way to change it back to the old font.

atleast give us the option to change back to the old one otherwise i have to stop playing the game

Resize contex menu button? Will it be returned? I donā€™t want to rescale (hense - enlarge all element of UI) interface. Only context menu as it was before.

Uh, as a new player this really concerns me.

Maybe I misunderstood, but it ā€˜appearsā€™ as though a very useful safety feature for noobs was dumped without any warning, we are being told to just figure it out and deal with it, and maybe we will talk about it later.

I wouldnā€™t even mind that much, except the game currently has each system tagged with a security rating. It is a very poor introduction to this game, to be told second hand by other players, that there are poorly identified systems all marked as high security, which are suicide to enter. At least there used to be those nice warnings and route triangles. Why pay developers to remove good features? That is just investing in company self destruction. SMH

I dont remember that any one disliked old one. Why holding on to something is clearly broken or unwelcomed.
How hard is it to admit - ā€œDear players, we admit we screwed up, we are rolling our stupid changes backā€ ?

I have seen ONE or TWO posts that said that they like it, and CRAP TON that dislike it.
CCP Dopamine are you kidding yourself?

The changes in mining are very imersive, I think, Iā€™ve paid for this. Now I think about canceling the account. Maybe itā€™s time to to play an other game. Fortunately Eve is not not the only one. But Iā€™m annoyed that Iā€™m paid for.

So many changes lately hard to keep up. When you have thousands of replies to patches I think you did something wrong. All these changes so fast just wonder if anything was even tested.
