EVE General Discussion

I don't understand your oddly defensive attitude. Why do you assume those of us that love the animation would have a problem with an option to turn it off? Only a lunatic would argue against something like that that doesn't even effect them.

You never came across a WiS hater, did you?

For yet another time, light dilation has NOTHING to do with motion sickness or camera sway, you ignorant excuse for a gamer!

Light strobe effects are MUCH more easily adjusted than something like this. Hilariously easy in comparison. But no, all of the ignorant gits out there think you can snap your fingers, type ten lines of code, and poof, their problem disappears. But it doesn't work like that in the real world. They as much as told you they can't just turn it off.

Deal with it, wait for them to fix it, or quit. Those are the only options.

And to add to that: don't reinvent the wheel.

If artwork has been vetted by 9+ million players -- and for years -- it's long been safe to use (Blizzard changes them on feedback, especially after that heal when MoP was released that blinded raids completely...lol). Can study it and figure your own design, and avoid the pitfalls.

WoW is a good example to research for effects, because they have soooooooooo many for every class. Get them on a 40man BG, on a scrimmage line like AV, or a 25man raid in a tiny room, and if all those effects doesn't blind and disorient players it's golden.

Plenty of ideas for effects, and without the snags. May have to use a lot less due to blobs (even with 25 players if all CDs are popped when time warp is cast, the raid can stutter beyond belief), but it's a good start.

well, the thing is that there are many many ppl complaining about this because CCP ignored the feedback given while the expansion was on SISI, where the ppl giving this feedback are really interested by actually improving the game, hence post constructive feedback post.

now, the issue being ignored and reaching the prod server, you have every kind of player posting about it, including ppl not used to post feedback, wich are more used to "WTF IS THIS" kind of post.

if CCP would have listened to the constructive feedback from SISI and modified the animation, or simply mad it optionnal, we would'nt be here with everyone and his grandma complaining.

i have a pretty powerfull rig (i7 2600k @ 4.2 / 16GB / SSD / gtx670), and a pretty nice connection (16ms ping / 100Mb/s (real)), and i have many many issues with the new animation causing fps drops, all kind of bugs (screen filled with one color, no brackets / overview upon landing / stuck in the animation), AND if i make a trip with 10+ jump, i start fealing nauseus.

so this animation cause issue, and doesn't improve the game, so AT LEAST, give us the option to turn it off, then everyone will be happy

If I was going to alter the animation...

Your ship approaches the gate and slows down into range. Remove the whole swinging around to align and leaving the camera controls to the owner.

The gate begins sparking away, glowing brighter. This should have an option aspect.

Your ship in its present position gets engulfed with electricity and fades into the cloaked mode. Years ago, fading away was this rolling effect across your ship so a bit of spark might be pretty. Again, this should have an option aspect.

The whole screen fades into black. Going on "realism" (with a heavy grain of salt), if we pilots need to spend a bit of real time to travel faster than light across one galaxy, how are we suppose to travel the void between these galaxies nearly instantaneously and still watch the lights go by? For me, the black screen represented we were moving so, so, so fast that we outran light itself! Again, this should have an option aspect.

The exit side begins to fade into view - not this mad dash of everything closing in, but your surroundings slowly appear more and more solid in nature. Again, this should have an option aspect.

Your ship appears in its cloaked mode state.

This would give players numerous options on traveling the gates. So if a player wants the rush of sliding down a tube at high speeds, then let them. If a player wants the casual jump feeling, then let them. The basic foundation of being moved from one system to the next system is already there. It's the graphics that should have the options available.

Just my thoughts.

Great ideas

new jump animation is unnecessary.
at least give us the option of turning it of.

its only cozz there idiots that thought it was a good idea to hardwire the animation in to there base code they just need to redoo there base code and take it out and put it somewere easyer to add an off switch alot of work but should be done

Yet another! ... You fit like a glove!
