Version 23.02 - Catalyst - General Feedback

same on all 3 accounts (shift + click) not working either

Another mildly annoying thing with the Char info… The Info placement is not static. Every time you open the window, it reshuffles the placement of the avatar because it is visibly slow at loading the information and formatting. Additionally, it further moves it up or down depending on if there’s an alliance line or not. Instead of leaving the god-damn avatar static at the top of the area it tries to center it based on the height of the text cell next to it. Who the hell thinks this is useful, practical, desirable and good UI design? What the heck?


This is completely useless. This dynamic placement serves no purpose whatsoever.

Related to the above: I just saw this EXHILERATING line in the blog:

With the Photon theme enabled, new players benefit from:

Improved readability across windows, icons, and text

You care about readability but make the Char and Corp info LESS readable by introducing poor text formatting and the corp branding that inevitably interferes with readability.

Players: How impossibly bad at thoroughly thinking through your own developments and expectations can you be?
CCP: Yes.

Did CCP screw up the Paragon window as well? In the past, when I loaded a listing from a chat, the first row would list other skins for the same ship type and I could easily search for other skins for this ship. Now it lists All Skins and only shows the Back button, and it’s not possible to search for other skins for the same ship. Or was this only ever possible when I click the “View Sequenced Skins” in the ship info window? :thinking:

You did something awful with the UI. When I look at a character profile, the background of their name, corp, titles and sec status is much lighter than the rest of the window. How do I undo this?

You cannot. This is their corp branding showing up all over the place now.

Good greif, of all people I’m actually agreeing with you right now

Where are the patchnotes for yesterday afternoon’s hotfix patch?

Shift-Click the module to toggle overheat.

I like the fact that CCP have made an attempt at making the UI much nicer to look at. It does show that they are trying something.

However, the usefulness of the corporation branding on character info windows is severely questionable. It deters from the overall clarity that the previous non-branding design had. Imagine, if you will, someone making a purposeful effort to have a garish corp branding colour arrangement that made it extremely difficult to see what was being displayed?

Allow us players to have more places where we can put the branding, how it is applied and when it is applied.

The UI icons themselves, as others have mentioned need to have a wider band of colours. You’ve manged to get a colour picker working for the UI colours (to a degree, nothing like the OG UI settings), so why not incorporate that into it, rather than giving us 12 colours to work from?

Hell, I would love to see an option to have the Trinity era UI icons back. I wonder how many Devs remember those icons.

I dont often to these, because a lot of the things i can actualy live with.

But this time its gone to far,

first thing i want to say:
If we want bright colours, and ingame ui colourings, we will be playing things like Fortnite.
or LOL with their colour scheme`s.

We play EVE we are not here for these kind of gimmics.

We want more story lines, better QOL and actualy things that we need.
You see at places like ubisoft what its bringing them, please DONT GO on the same road CCP!

hire back the devolopers that ahve passion for the game, the story tellers and the people who understand the gamers.

ANd if you ahve to make such ugly changes, then at least make them Clickable
So on the corp info you can now see who the CEO is, make this clickable (which is very logical next step!)

But please revert this, its not worth time or effort. its not eve like, and lets bring back the story lines, new ship lines (like a full line of ships: example T3 battleships (Like real ones)

LIke a EWAR Battlecruiser (specick roles for each race)

Or a Area Denial Cruiser
That fires a micro EMP off that disrupts any other E-war modules for example

or what ever…. but this is not what we ask for.. sorry ccp but in my eyes, you are going down the rabbit hole of Ubisoft… please read up on this…. and learn from it…

LOve your game otherwise!

Fortunately, there is an option to remove this. Check the brand management window for the corporation. The problem here is simply that CCP failed to provide documentation, and their default setting is poorly chosen… but you can fix it.

Why am I doing free tech support for CCP?

Just a quick reply for your first part: EVE used to be able to be FAR more colourful and uniquely coloured than the smaller range we have today:

This is from a video that shows you how to do it, so many many years ago.

I am pretty sure it has been asked but it would be amazing to be able to mute station voice, as a trader you spend a lot of time in station this is super annoying although you need the sound in space

I have been asking for this for years now. Ever since they introduced those station human voices. It’s so annoying. I just want the station background without human speech – like it used to be.

I know about that… it’s just a muscle memory developed over 18 years of playing :rofl:

It’s especially interesting when you listen on 12 accounts simultaneously.

Most of the bad color schemes I am seeing seem to be due to corps not having chosen brand colors. The system appears to select the colors itself in that case, and it seems to favor these bright tones that look awful, especially when viewed as background in the info window.

@CCP_Bee and the whole EVE Online Team:
I want to thank you for your hard work and the way you intervened quickly during that recent server emergency. The game was back online in no time.
I also want to thank you for all the little changes you’ve added or brought back.
I think the colored icon in the Neocom are very nice and thank you for the bigger pointer.
It is a real pleasure to play the game.
Thank you.

urghsss…

and thank you for still having the flickering issue. it is a real pleasure for my eyes.
