Test Server Feedback

They've already stated that it's impossible to do that. The new transition is completely integrated and there's no way to go back.




Use the "C" button and turn off your tracking camera before you enter a jump.

If you have the new scanner overlay running when you jump through the gate the black background of the tunnel opening obscures instead of blends with the moving green overlay front. Makes the 2d sprites look really obvious.

it is very big shame, that it is not option, becouse i see now little difference, with tranquility for advantage for old loading bar, and my unbelieving eyes don't like it, even after longer time at test server.

It's not a bug. The camera moves to aim toward where the stargate goes. When the jump finishes, that's where the camera stays. It doesn't swing around or look anywhere else once the jump is finished. In order to do what you want, the whole effect would have to be changed or the camera would have to swing around after the jump - which is exactly what everyone complained about.

The scanner sweep fades out quickly when you initiate a warp. I've watched it fade out several times, and it seems like that's the exact sort of treatment that jumping needs.

Initiate warp -> scanner fades

Initiate jump -> scanner fades

It's not a bug.

To use your own words, yes it is indeed a change to gameplay. You may not think that changing the transition is a gameplay change, but stop and consider what a fundamental and complete change it actually is. They didn't break anything, they didn't change anything, they removed the old transition completely and put in a whole new one. The old transition is gone entirely. History, extinct, no longer part of the client, consigned to the realm of memory. I don't know how else to continue repeating myself creatively.

Oh, I thought of another way: They didn't break anything, they decided to say "It doesn't work that way anymore."

I tested it in my home constellation, where I'm quite familiar with the camera angles upon system entry. Sure enough, putting the camera into those angles I'm familiar with from TQ would require lots of after-jump tracking and moving and swinging around just like what people were complaining about.


Let me say it one more time for you. It's not a bug. It's a feature, and I'm being quite serious when I say that. The camera is working as intended.

Qual - I feel your pain. I told them the exact same thing about race-locked content in the avatar creator, and they called it "working as intended," despite the fact that a lot of people were very upset about it.

I posted this feedback in another thread before I saw this one...

basically I think the new transitions are cool at first, but get old very fast. I know you say they can't be disabled, but nothing is impossible. I'm sure it's too late to change for next week's release... but please consider allowing players to turn this off in the future if they wish to do so.

For me it's not about performance, I just find the effect strange and disorienting. If I had my camera set to 1st-person shooter mode, then the effect would be cool. But to be forced into a different camera mode every time you jump systems just seems odd and I don't enjoy it.

My 2 cents...

Yeah, what is this changing of camera angle? I want to keep looking where I am going to, not that the camera swivels back to where I came from every time I jump.

why ? do you want to pay for my hospital bill if i have to receive assistance for seizures or worst ? because of the new animation camera snap ?


you see, not everyone react the same way to video games images.
some people get dizzy more likely than others.
and not everyone gets affected by camera shaking.
some people however, will get affected and a perhaps a smaller percentage has the risk of getting seriously affected.

now, you have a good part of you're costumers base telling you that there's an issue with you're fine work, that the camera snap makes them dizzy after a few jumps.

maybe people didn't realised it right away, but like reading in a car, you don't notice you're going to get dizzy until after doing it for a wile, when you try it.
in a similar way, jumping several gates, with a brush camera snap each jump, adds up to some people's discomfort and dizziness.

effects like camera shaking during warp, can be deactivated at players choice.

- why can't the camera snap on jumping gates can be deactivated too ?


so, you would be a lot more appreciated if you would put you're talent working on a solution to mitigate the issue, like an option to turn of camera snap on jumping gates, instead of making jokes back at people complaining to have a health issue, with you're new forced feature ?

thank you for understanding.
