Greetings

Vote here if you miss your mining laser noises. I very much like the newish laser animation however I really miss the continous mining laser sound. The sound that now occurs ONLY at a lasers start of cycle used to help keep me awake and i just think it sounds cool. Also I used to like the sound made at the ROID end of the laser the cute little crumbling noise as the roid broke up. Big smile Vote to get CCP to bring it back!

Is anyone else noticing that their warping animation has practically dissapeared? Whats up with that? I quite like it as it gives you a better speed sensation and looks cool to boot. I only seem to see it once in a while now.

I thought about posting this in the features and idea discussion,,,,,might have if I could've done a poll. Can you even do a poll in here? Oh and before you say it yah im a NoOb k ..gimme a break im old ok.

Just wanted to vent about my NoOb carebear mining noises. Fly safe all and DIE Twisted to the newbie gankers and Hulk killers out there you scum! Just joshin don't shoot me please! LolBlink Well i was serious about the DIE for the newbie ( can ) gankers, way to go in helping to keep the EVE population growing tossers!

Eve has sound?

People were constantly telling me I was crazy. For a long time I didn't believe them, but after a while, I started to think they might be right.

But it turns out that they were all wrong. One of the voices in my head is a psychiatrist and he says I'm perfectly sane.

Actually having the mining laser only make sound when they cycle is great.

THe relentless sounds from before actually helped put me to sleep at times.
Now they serve as a wake up call.
Sorry, but my vote is to please keep them the way they are right now.


Yeh the warping thing is kind of a crap shoot right now if it shows up.
Hopefully they will find the problem and fix it.

To replace the mining laser sound and the crumbling of roids, I slapped an active shield to my barge and now I listen to the reverberating hum.

Voted.
The continuous hypnotic mining sound was accounting for a total of 80% of EVE's Mining gameplay.
We need it back!

EDIT: Oh, i believe this is posted in wrong question.... Should be in "features and idea discussions" i believe

You can still hear the rocks crumbling and i am glad they changed the sound i used to zoom out just to get away from tjat annoying pulsating noise , this one is much better warning you when the miners start a new cycle

I do not agree with what you are saying , but i will defend to the death your right to say it...... Voltaire

Actually 80% of the mining gameplay was and still is chatting away with your buddies on ts or whatever voice program you are using

Signed!

I also would prefer my cargo window not closing (since the last patch) which totally spoiles my isk/hour mining ratio.

It seems like this has happened before...

It seems like EVE's slowly losing some of its art and audio assets. First ship trails, now this?

At the very least, the mining lasers' constant noises have been a part of the eternal nuance of mining. I thought CCP cared about the 'look and FEEL' of the game... And to the people who think that mining lasers were LOUD? There was a neat option to dampen turret noises, which included mining lasers and strip miners.

It seems like they've fixed the warping animation to an extent, but no mining lasers... It didn't take them too long a few years ago to fix the mining laser noises when they broke them to a worse extent, but that's possibly because it was more irritating to mine with pulse lasers.

This issue has been around for months, seriously... This is an Undocumented Feature. In layman's terms, a BUG.

Every time they change something with the mining lasers, they screw up the sound of at least one of them.

Then again, it's mining. It gets developed by half a manhour per year. Can't expect them to check the mining sounds with a time budget like that.

its a 1 in 30 shot that i ever see the warp tunnel effect

as for mining i more or less stopped after i began incursioning, i like the new mining beams but find them a little bland, sure the blue is pretty but thats it, a blue line through space that endures for 180 seconds then rebeams exactly the same. Admitedly i like the thin blue line better than the fat clunky yellow blob that came before. But then the pre strip beams should be the short duration beams of old, attacking the rocks in surges to break off a nugget here and there

I'm beginning to think that CCP has cut corners with mining laser sound and animation because they think most people macro mine anyway.

Those of us who play and actually mine hate this change. At least I do.

You have enemies? Good, that means you stood up for something, sometime in your life.

Here is an idea that lets everyone be happy. Make it so when "Quieter Turret Sounds" is checked in the settings, it only makes the sound at the beginning, and when it is not checked, it always makes the sound. That or there could be a separate checkbox all together for it. Just an idea.

Edit-

I really am no miner at all
and only mine on the rare occasion that
i need motivation to do something else ...

... but WHEN i mined, i loved the hypnotic sound and the crumbling too.

You have me vote. :)

Anyone who likes the old horrific constant 'buzzing' of the old lazers Is FLAT OUT OF THEIR FREAKING MINDS !!!

Thank God I only hear it at beginning of cycle....same for the Mining Drones too.

Thank you CCP for taking away that constant irritant, and reducing it to just a 'reminder' Big smile
