EVE General Discussion

Nope. It's simpler than that. I stop buying tickets. Seems like the common sense approach.

You analogy would be appropriate if, instead of being optional, you had to take a roller coaster ride to each place in the amusement park. I live and primarily move about in W-space, so my interaction with Hisec is minimal, but I do still have trade and industry characters that need to navigate through empire.

Guess what? For better or worse, we're all different. Those of you who have absolutely no problems with motion sickness, I envy you. But some of us do have problems with it. I'm not colorblind and neither are most people, but I think CCP should make accommodations for those who are. This is a similar situation, except people will soon associate the game with nausea and vomiting ... not a good impression to leave with customers, or friends of potential customers.

"Hey Bob, how was that new scifi game you tried... EVE, was it?"
"Yeah, every time I played it, I felt sick to my stomach and even threw up a couple times. I had to stop playing it."
"Oh wow, guess I'd better stay away from it."

Heh, The only time I've ever had motion sickness from a computer game was minecraft for some obscure reason, something to do with the camera bobbing about when moving combined with strafing and looking around whilst moving.

Basically it's your brain recieving conflicting information between what your eyes are telling your brain about your movement in space, and what your ear is telling your brain your body is experiencing in terms of balance.

Closing your eyes or moving further away from your screen will help stop this as a quick workaround.

But yeah, CCP should definitely tweak the jump animations, make the camera transitions a little less harsh etc...

Another option would be to leave the animation on by default but add another optional jump sequence which fades to black on clicking jump... briefly fades in the target system name and region, then fade back in once the jump is completed, this would help keep the cinematic feel of travelling through space, without annoying people or causing nausea for those susceptable to motion sickness... or those players who've had a little too much to drink :)

All of these idea's are great. I personally like the jump animation tho it needs to be like a true worm-holey feel instead of a static image feel.

Maybe have some degree of colors depending on the gates and location jumping to. And have more of a curve in the animation instead of being straight it kinda has a curvey feel to it. And doesnt mean have camera move around but the actual portal moves around.

Maybe have Capital jumpdrive jumps different from jumpbridge jumps, and gate jumps could reflect the gate ambient color in the portal. Cov-ops jumps could be like a iridescent blue type.

But yall(CCP) should always include an option to disable something.

Also why does my ship auto-target one target back when its set to AutoTarget Back : 0 Targets

OK, i stopped jumping.

Sub's running out, I've started to like my free facebook games better than EVE now. At least, they dont make me sick.

Cya in a years time or whatever, why play a game that makes you vomit...

I'm going to use this quote because what I want to say will not be polite -

"Can I ask we have the option to turn off the warp tunnel effect when going through gates - I don't often suffer nausea playing eve - except when having my Machariel hot dropped - but after 10 jumps (and admittedly a few beers) was ready to redecorate my computer monitor.

Also the ability to disable the new system scan - although I have the option clicked to 'hide overlay' it seems to reset after jumping into a new system."

Actually the tunnel does not bother me as much as the forced camera pan before you enter the warp tunnel. That is what is stomach turning. There was nothing wrong with the old jump visuals. Why are you devoting so much worker resource to fixing things that don't need to be fixed. Meanwhile the top 4 ships are Caldari. Put more people into ship balancing and they may have the ability to revisit some of those changes more frequently. If all your new characters become Caldari and crowd into Caldari space that will threaten the health of the game. Your new jump animation threatens the health of your players.

Also, the forced scanning animations after every jump and the forced display of the green diamonds around anomalies is a royal pita. Again, how was this identified as a needed new feature? Even if someone may want it it should be an optional feature. It is damn annoying that I have to see this tron wave over-lay my view of space.

Aw **** it, I'm not going to be polite. YOU ARE ******* UP THE GAME with this ****. How is your subscriber retention going to benefit from making your players physically sick to their stomachs or annoyed to hell with mandatory tron visuals every time they enter a new system??
