Version 18.10 - General Feedback

Font is horrible. Like extremely bad. It physically hurts my eyes to read chat channels, noticeable strain. I don’t wear glasses but feel like I need them now. It’s like trying to read something when you first wake up, but it doesn’t go away.

On average once per minute my client stutters for 1 second, only happens with the audio on, and happens on both my computers at the exact same time. Odd. Annoying. Hopefully it gets worked out.

Not sure why you messed with the font, or why you would push it without significant testing.

I feel like you guys rush stuff (see jump gate animation super fail). I was going to suggest incentivizing people to thoroughly test on SiSi but apparently people did test the font on SiSi, gave you lots of feedback telling you it was terrible, but you ignored it anyway, so… yea whatever.

Seems like the C5 drifter response battleship is warping away even when pointed with 4 points after the patch.

In the autopilot section, there’s a checkbox for avoiding EDENCOM and Trig minor victory systems.

This doesn’t make sense. I can’t think of anyone who wants to avoid both. You typically want to avoid one or the other, depending on your standings with each.

Can you make them two separate checkboxes, so I can (for example) avoid Trig systems but not EDENCOM ones?

Ore anoms in jspace in particular look very barren and desolate. If not adding more ore to the field maybe resizing the rocks and spread so they don’t look so depressing would be nice.
I think the redistribution is probably a good thing, but keeping the ore itself in good supply would be good to prevent boxers pushing out newer players in highsec from getting anything later in the day. As orcas can pick belts clean with little effort.

Removed some off topic posts.

CCPlease, make the new font sharper or allow us to change it, the possibility to change the size is very nice, but the font makes reading tedious. I’m on a 4K screen, i’ve tried multiple setups but none is comfortable.
I don’t care about game mechanics changes you know, i’m all for the HTFU thing, but if i have to choose between my eyes, headaches and Eve, the choice is going to be simple.

PLEASE IM BEGGING, I can somebody teach me how to revert to the original font style, my eyes are really hurting no joke. I am willing to pay a handsome amount! of isk!!! MY EYES ARE HURTING!! MY EYES!!! MY EYESS!!!.

Font change is horrible: blurred and hurts my eyes ( I wear glasses) after 20 minutes - previous was fine. It’s beyond me why such an awful user experience would be permitted. Usability testing ?

Welp guess wormhole mining needed another bullet in the head after the first few.

Apart from the Resource changes which were a bad idea, the new font is AWFUL. I have bifocals and have an astigmatism. It makes my eyes blur and was starting to give me a headache until I just gave up and logged off. If you tell us that this font is permanent I’m not playing again. It’s actually painful to me (literally) to try to focus on it and read it.

no, this is a way to get people to scan down wormholes and start using them, to populate wormholes, and to make it more profitable for people that already do scanning and hacking, without a ton of competition in that area, giving them a leg up on this kind of thing.

what also happened was that it meant more people will go forward with scanning and hacking, possibly allowing wormholers to have a change of pace, as well as givin gmore people a more secure area to play in if they want (the povchen areas) as well as islands amongst everything to go do crazy stuff in without having to deal with other people, however that does mean they have to deal with wormholers.

why does everyone have to be so negative about change?

when you do the same thing over and over again, it gets boring, plus, botters and botting programs are easier to write for the stuff that doesnt change more frequently, so are you saying you are one of the people that bots, or are you saying you want more botters?

do you support marriage? because if you dont support marriage then this is perfect for you because you never have to just sleep with one person all the time, but hey, who am i to judge what you like?

anywho, this is a great thing actually, people like to be challenged and have excitement, this is that in spades, and it makes markets more profitable now, with more choices than just JITA to go to, so, now even though niarja was conquered, people were still going through there to go from amarr to jita, now they cant, so this means amarr and jita are two ends of the trade route, meaning some stuff will be more expensive in each area, while others will be lower. i think this is a great way to get stuff moved around the markets. honestly i do.

I have no vision problems thankfully and this font physically affects me as well. It’s actually painful trying to focus on text in a chat channel, the UI text isn’t so bad, I assume because it’s bolded and much larger (like current location, Route, Skilling Spree text etc), but everything else actually is causing me to have a headache and I decided to log out as well. I’d rather play another game than physically suffer headaches and eye strain.

oh Dryson… You special snowflake.

I know that is the only way you can win against me. Lock me down so I can do nothing in game :slight_smile:

CCP what has gone on with the ice belts have you taken some away or is there a problem because where I live three system that have ice belts in them they have spawned again since down time yesterday, thought you were just reducing the time’s not getting rid of them??

Fine, I can understand everything you wrote, BUT what of those people who enjoyed the monotone sound of a mining laser because the day has been long and stressious? They are now degraded to be target practice for some “PVP”-people. They were before, right, but now with fewer people in the belts (since there is simply not enough stone anymore) they will get killed more often … hey, big fun.
What about those who enjoyed to just buy some things here and there and fly that over to Jita or Amarr to sell things there ? They got ■■■■■■ up, since now they have to fly a detour that is NOT funny anymore.
Yes, for those who like to imerse the game totally and maybe have the time and patience to do so the game might get better. All others are on the loosing side. And maybe just maybe … just a thought. I as a casual player cannot make in the short time I can spare for the game enough ISK to play for free, but have to pay by creditcard. This I will not do anymore. I will wait for a month, NOT starting the game and see if CCP come back to a clear mind. If not, well, I had a great time, but then its time to part.
So long you can mine your own ore, you can build your own ships and you can trade your own good. And honestly I think that at least 50% of the PAYING customers are thinking the same way. So it might be that EVE will finaly die, since without real life money there will be no servers, no developers no nothing, since ISK is only in EVE-Space.

Something I find funny: By killing Rogue Drones, you gain Trig standings but don’t lose Edencom standings. That means you can easily have +10 Edencom and +10 Trig. Very intuitive and reasonable.

Why, after this patch, I again (it was already like this) began to hear the sound of the Sun in space, although I am at a distance of 7.3 AU from a.e.???

:nauseated_face: :nauseated_face: :nauseated_face: :nauseated_face: :nauseated_face: :nauseated_face:

p.s. With each new update, you often break what you have previously fixed.

Triglavian station (and system) sounds are way too loud. Its really getting unmanageable, especially with multiple ships docked. And they are only affected by the common “ambiance” slider under audio. If I set that one to 10% or less (to make the trig ambiance bearable) I cannot hear any other essential sounds, like changing ship, docking/undocking or any related.
Please, either make trig ambiance quite a bit quieter or provide a separate slider for the “faction ambiance” or however it is classified in the code…
