This new Aura voice....
I don't blame the voice actress, she can only do/say what's on her script for a recording session. I put blame where blame is due.
To whomever handled mixing and post processing, the sound of a computer's voice through a paper towel tube is not good audio for a futuristic space game.
To whomever approved the 'Aura in a Paper Towel Tube' audio results, see problem listed above about cardboard tubes and futuristic space games. Matari engineering jokes only fly so far, don't blame this on us!
Side note, I can't tell if she's saying 'Warp Drive Active' or Harddrive Active.' The audio miscues go downhill from there.
CCPlease, fix the mess that is the new Aura audio. It's a very sad bad thing currently.
Will check back to point out any bugs I find, and if the promised Customizable Overview Icons are in place finally.

I was going to be more polite about the new character/skill window and just call it overly cluttered and counter-intuitive. Besides what looks like busy work for busy work's sake (mouse over for everything detailed is a sloppy habit to fall into), it's less friendly to bad eyesight than the old one was. That's not a good thing.
CCPlease, I'll make you a deal. I'll learn to love the new Aura voice if you give back something very much resembling in both form and function the old skill window. Fair deal?

Most of these criticisms were already brought up in the beta environment thread about how poor the new skill window is and were thoroughly ignored.
So basically CCP did the same thing with SiSi character sheet feedback as they do with any feedback that's not glowing in praise. Ignore it until the paying customers complaining shut up and/or go away. How disheartening. I'd honestly hoped with the (fingers crossed) large influx of actual new players, the bad habits of CCP's update/expansion behavior (breaking what works, shelving feedback, going for pretty over functional, delaying promise fulfillment to the time order of years) had been tossed aside so they wouldn't have to slog through the mess older players fight each and every update/release/expansion.
Le Sigh.

How to phrase another problem with this new shiny character/skill sheet.
I get it you want people to subscribe to Omega Clone state. I get Alpha State is not where you want the vast majority of logins to come from. But sheesh.
CCPlease, you might want to tone down the spammy mouse over here there and everywhere popouts to subscribe as an Omega to use the nice shinier ships and mods. It's blocking my view of just about everything I try to do on the Alpha Clone accounts.
If this plan of ingame UI ads was run by a marketing study and was given full thumbs up, you got robbed on the results you were fed. This is beyond annoying. This borders on flipping off the monitor and logging out on any Alpha I have... for a very long to permanent timeline.
If I can't see what I'm doing around obsessive ads, I can't play

That and please a way to toggle off the docking camera. It takes to long to release the camera going through the transition and feels like it just takes longer overall with the Dynamic Camera on to enter and leave station.
I'd love to leave the dynamic camera on but turn off that component. Warping to an insta undock on station for example is annoying as I can't turn the camera out into space for several seconds.
*Snip!*
The undocking of ponderous animation is still tagged to Dynamic Camera Movement. Considering the long delay then silence on fixing some lingering complaints on the New Camera, it might be a while before it's divorced from that checkmark toggle. Wasn't the other workaround involving zooming camera range?

Why would you want to make a deal with someone you pay for doing something you want? That's like telling a car dealer "Ok the car doesn't work, but if you give me a free car wash I'll let it slip." That's not how it works. You are not a slave to CCP. You are not obliged to pay for this game. It is the other way around: they are obliged to deliver a game that you consider worth paying for. You are very much allowed to make demands when you hand them your monthly fee and with that essentially pay a fraction of their salary. And if they do something that offends the majority of the players, then you politely say "Thank you, but no thanks. Now fix it." And if they refuse to change it back, you in response refuse to pay them any further. And if they realize you are serious about your demands, things suddenly change. Because: guess how many people at CCP will receive a salary in December if all players spontaneously quit. Totally agree. I already let my 4 accounts lapse because I refiuse to pay money for the privilidge of looking at the new skill window. xD
Couple reasons I'm taking this method for change.
1. Pointing out that driving off paying customers has not made much of a dent in the wall of current business-customer interaction practices.
2. Offering trades in the spirit of Trade Hubs, maybe using something more ingame will get better results? Maybe some of these decisions to not use customer feedback is a language and culture barrier. So I'll try to New Eden Speak my way to clarification.
3. One of my accounts remains inactive in any clone state until older promises are fulfilled. Doing my part to impact a financial bottom line already.
4. And that I shouldn't have to descend to wheeling and dealing to get a business to work on it's business model but that's what's happening. Demonstration in both object lessons and what happens when a business gets a bit... big for it's britches, so to speak.
Going to stop there on reasons. From here it wouldn't stay polite or constructive.

Wasn't the other workaround involving zooming camera range? There may have been someting, but why do we have to deal with a feature that isn't fully controlable and find a work around. The new camera went live at the start of the year if not earlier. How is it still not addressed. The team is working on a lot, I get it. but at the point it feels like they are leaving stuff on the back burner and never going back to address player concerns.
Stuff doesn't seem to be left on back burners then somewhat forgotten to finish. Stuff DOES get tossed to the side then ignored for the foreseeable future. Personalized tracking added to the new camera is just one of the things falling through the cracks. At this point I'm very convinced CCP has bought it's own hype. Alas, companies don't do well long term when their customer interaction devolves to HTFU, instead of keeping that just in the gameplay mentality.
What's ironic is how many outside Eve believe CCP offers above and beyond excellent customer interaction and service. Their bubble's on it's way to bursting if they continue to shut down any voice that doesn't agree with some Vision. Now there's F2P. So we don't have to automatically pay and 'reward' CCP's customer interactions and decisions.

Add me to the disgruntled customer numbers. I have five accounts. Four have jumped through the 2FA hoops. Two are Omega, two remain Alpha. They'll remain Alpha for a Very. Long. Time.
The Two Omegas? When I can afford the splurge, they'll be full powah. Otherwise rinkydink Alpha works fine.
I only pay 'tips' for good customer service. If CCP was in the waiter/waitress line of work, you just earned two pennies for this product and it's presentation.
Is that the grand plan? Run off the longer term paying customers in hopes the mass wave of R00kies more than picks up the financial slack? Just tell us we're up for replacement for newer blood (with shorter memories), then these design and road-map decisions would make a lick of sense.
Wat do??

At least we won't have to pay for the privilege of having a nice Incarna style monument bash this time. Free2Protest bad design choices? Bad Aura revamp? Lazy mouse-over addicted new character sheet/skill queue?
CCP, you did some amazingly good things in Ascension. Alas, that good is overwhelmed by the bad changes made for what seems, yet again, as change for change's sake. Two steps forward, a half marathon in reverse. Why?
