Horrible Icons.
Terrible.
* PLEASE * Give us the option to turn off the new icons, or scrap the change altogether. This was not necessary, and is now an ugly burden.

Brain matches symbol with object, brain assigns priority, brain stores. New symbols introduced for same object confuses brain and prompts the brain to issue the "WTF error message".
exactly.
How do we erase twelve years of visual cues and muscle memory? Why the hell was this a priority?
Change it back !! Or - give us the option to turn it off.

The new icons need to go.
Give us the option to disable them if you refuse to take them out.

The military icons make sense. These do not.
Here are the ones the Navy uses:

GET RID OF THE NEW ICONS !!! Seven years of visual cues and muscle memory down the drain.

Strip out the new icons. Wasn't broken, didn't need fixing.
Give us the option to at least disable them.
I blame Iceland. All of it. |

I mean there is a column named type and you can get all the needed information there. The old symbols are just plain and simple and that is what matters to me.
Spot on perfect.
Bring the old icons back, CCP. Di-di-mao! |

Real Feedback:
The new icons make it harder, not easier, to figure out whether to take a fight or not. It was easier to gauge a fight based on the size of the old icons. Sure, you'd have to clarify by glancing at the name of your target to figure out how to fight it etc.
But... the simplicity of the old system can't be overlooked. Having a limited range of symbols, representing a relative size and toughness, was useful. Variety might not always be better?
I think some of it might still be an adjustment of mental/visual cues and such - but I do think the classic system would be better long run. I think people will simply adapt and read names in their overview tabs first, largely overlooking the over-thought icons.
Run with it, and please - consider going back to a "relative size" system. The variety is in the available ship types/setups, not in the way they're represented on an overview column.

Kneejerk?
Roll them back already before we lose more players.
I'm a pre 2006 player. I came to EVE from Star Wars Galaxies, where the same crap killed the game and all of Sony Online Entertainment.
Why not just pull an apology and roll it back? Dev-pride gonna tank CCP Games? Certainly that's not a good idea. I don't see another CCP title that people are excited to play... this is it. And it's dwindling.
ROLL IT BACK

Is that code for do nothing and hope this all blows over?
Exactly.

EVE players on the OS X platform have (and had for years) serious issues like clients freezing or crashing, and here some brainiacs are "threatening" to unsubscribe because they don't like getting used to a modified set of icons? Go ahead, quit playing EVE if you like, and good riddance. Some posts in this thread are just straight up whine-posts written by people who hate change.
You guys disgust me. Traitors to the health of your own game. Forum warrior toolbags.
Play the game, outside of empire, and you'll agree with us that the icons make deciding whether or not to take a fight difficult.
In my personal case, nine years of visual/mental cues just got flushed down the drain. It's particularly burdensome for a pre-warp-to-zero player like me.
I'm not saying i want my stealthbomber to fire cruise missiles again, I just want the OPTION to use the old icons.

BTW - please, never, NEVER disable old map. New map unacceptable in PvP too. At least system map.
All true.

I read the post by CCP Surge several times and then ran the text through my version of the Universal Translator (with the BS filter activated) and was not surprised for the result to be "No reversion to old icons - CCP to make attempt to deceive players into thinking their comments are being considered seriously. Continue to stall and ignore the unacceptability of new icons. Carry on!"
I've seen stuff like this before - in companies that no longer exist...
Accurate.
I hear John Smedley is hiring....

1) What was the opinion of our elected representatives (CSM) who do not log in here to speak?
2) What happens now with the icons? Will there be a choice between old and new?
CCP or one of the CSM-Members: Give us some good news, please.
For real. Whiskey tango foxtrot, CCP? Give us the option to turn off your "improvements".
CSM - you're terrible. Resign. |

Iceland, where are you?
Chop chop, veteran players are disgusted.
I have not called for anyone to be fired, as I though it wasn't necessary.
Now, I'm warming up to the idea.
Fire away.
