Version 23.02 - Catalyst - General Feedback

urghsss…

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

Are you an alt of the previous guy? You said the same thing.

Even if CCP choses sensible defaults, what’s to keep some corp from chosing an awful color? I just want normal background again. How do I fix this?

I agree they ruined the character sheet what’s with all the useless colors.

The cursor size is 3 options… super small, a bit to big… and so big that I’d never use it. They could’ve added normal size option.

I wish they’d get more feedback on UI changes before updating live game with a change that most people will be unhappy about.

I agree with Atomke why wasn’t the test server opened to see these changes just as it was with the new map changes giving people a chance to give feedback.

Because that would make CCP devs feel bad from all the negative constructive, well-explained and well-verified criticism. You can’t have that in this day and age.

I wish they would get ANY feedback about upcoming changes nowadays. By the looks of their changes from at least the past 2 years, they do not solicit ANY feedback at all (the map being the only exception).
We have this forum to gather feedback on upcoming changes and get an early evaluation by players to make these changes better, but it was deserted by CCP years ago. Looking at these recent UI “mishaps”, I can guess the why.

True this way there will not be a history of people pointing out the flaws, no way to tell how long it took them to correct it if ever and no way to tell there is an issue at all unless you encounter it in-game.

Directly controlling the history records is one way to create the false sense of there being no problems. “The game was always flawless. Always.”

Oceania had always been at war with Eurasia. :thinking:

:psyccp:

They don’t care about such thing, evidenced by the fact they release untested bugs filled features that they “playtest” on the live server instead of the test-server.

They simply don’t care to receive feedback and are perfectly fine with ruining the experience of paying customers instead of paying for an actual QA department and only push properly working updates.

(And if after that a few bugs here and there surface that would be much different to the broken messes of updates we receive on a regular basis.)

Stop worrying about issues and buy more PLEX in a NES near you. :face_with_monocle:

The window background of the show info screen on characters is in the foreground over the standings icon, making determining standings very hard.
The standings icon and flag are also clipping over the actual portrait? Why? There is half a screen worth of space to put those icons. Can they not use up some dead space?

Honestly the whole lot just looks washed out and I wish I could turn it all off, but maybe if you’re forcing us to use it, give us the option to colour the background by standings? That would be useful.

Aura Guidance (Beta):

I am so looking forward to what lunatic hallucinations this AI mess will bring to the newbies. We definitely need a meme topic for it.

Addressing Rookie Confusion

Have we seen hallucinations? Yes. The system once made up a ship called the Albatross. These things happen with language models.

To address confusion, you implement a tool that is wholly known for spreading nothing but misinformation, lies, wrong and misleading statements. I see

We want to push people toward asking other players.

In that case I really hope you include the information of the players who actually answered these questions in the Aura statements. Removing the need to ask questions in chat will surely make people more likely to risk interaction with scary other players. This is exactly how these AI assistants work. Of course.

We will evaluate, and if Aura Guidance doesn’t improve retention, we will shut it down and look for other solutions. Failure is acceptable. This is not a silver bullet. The problem we are trying to solve is real, but this particular approach has to earn its place.

Like you did with the Chat system that is, to this day, plagued with issues, regularly requires the shutdown of the entire cluster despite claims this outsourcing would make this unnecessary, and despite the fact that the issues continue to happen long after your own deadline from years ago after which you wanted to shutdown the new chat system if the situation didn’t improve dramatically.

Now even reputable news outlets call out CCP and Scope on their silence and inaction in this matter. Classic CCP.

Factional Warfare:

  • Being promoted in factional warfare will no longer trigger derived standing gains, meaning that FW rank promotions now work like epic arc standing rewards, where you will now only get positive standings to the FW faction you are promoted for, rather than postive and negative standings. This means that it is no longer possible to lose standings when getting promoted in FW.

    This is not how epic arc standings work at all. Epic arc standings give you derived standings. Source, i just did 3 epic arcs. All of them gave derived standings mostly in the negative form.

not sure how to open? looks like there is no :slight_smile:

New pack skins and SKINR things also broken: activation doesn’t work (SKINR gives error, skins no feedback at all) and the icons also seem to be missing (blank icons).

Just wow… We now get Emergency Downtimes because of some crate hacking and skin applications does not work. This is hilarious. Where are all the independent systems that we were promised years ago that could be fixed independently from the cluster and would spare us from such complete shut-downs…

Stop Temu coding this game, for Bob’s sake.

what chinese do u use?

can u dont use taiwan chinese?

and dont change strange things, just fix bug ok?

the last step will give u rewad but not write in rewards

if u play eve a long time u will know cpp speed

At the end though, the huge standings reward doesnt come with derived standings. Thats why every 3 months you can do all 4 empire and remain positive to all 4.

TQ just died. The server stability and reliability is amazing since the last few patches.
