Okay, there were threads praising ISIS, login screen, depots, new ships, but there wasn't this one:

Gate flash rocks!

Looks like CCP has a nice thought process right there:

- They improve one feature (gate models and FX) and as collateral damage they axe a component people notice (gatefire)
- People say "CCP it's all cool but this feature (in this case - gatefire) sucks, it's hard to see if someone comes in"
- CCP then cranks said feature up to eleven and makes it awesome.

Seriously, the new animation is hilarious. I sat good ten minutes on a gate watching people go through, it's so cool. Props to the art team that did it.

I'll make sure that the thanks get passed on.
Also hope you like the audio that accompanies it :)

EVE has sound?

...actually yeah, I had sound on and it finally gained some of that "punch" to hyperspace travel. That said, when actual player-based stargates arrive further down the line, I'm hoping they'll be even bigger and better with cooler FX. After all, nullsec is like texas - and everything is bigger in texas Twisted

I traveled a few hundred jumps last night and never even noticed. I didn't even notice the warp effect changes until I jumped in a viator (and WOW). Will look for new stuff.

ISIS rocks. Character selection screen is Meh. Having my useless alts or empty character slots the same size as my main is pretty dumb.

Whoever came up with the requirements for various certificates and mastery levels was a complete toolbox that has never played eve or trained a skill.

And we got the message, thanks guys! Everyone in the Art department is making a big effort to bring up the overall visuals in EVE, keeping in mind the EVE universe and of course your feedback.

Don't forget to also look for the new warp disruption bubbles :D

Thanks, take care and have fun!

I haven't seen them yet but if they're as awesome, I could see a possible problem emerging. We could be too busy admiring the bubble to actually shoot someone that found himself in it Smile

That said, yay for art team reminding us that all it takes to transform spreadsheets in space into a scifi game is to zoom in.

(EDIT: Now, can we has covert cyno icon?)

Sure.Straight

Now how about giving us a persisting on/off button so as not to get nausea from the forced camera pan with rotating pixel mesh tunnel.Ugh Likewise that on/off button so as not to get irritated by the cheesy autoscan with red and green diamonds all over the frigging place when you enter a system and don't want or need those visuals or information. X

There is already an on/off button for ship explosions, captains quarters, really quite a lot of things. And none of those things necessitate looking away from your screen for those of us it affects. How frigging hard can it be to just put another on/off option somewhere in the game, either the escape menu or the option menu for the scanner?

CCP, there are off buttons for ship explosions, missile effects, turret effects, etc. "Immersion" does not seem to be harmed by those. So, [u]please[/u] give us a persisting off button for the jump gate and autoscan visuals.

oh and the new effects for anchorable bubbles are freakin pretty. When you're nullfied, running through a bubble is like a bonus for being awesome.

Those new bubbles are so pretty. I didn't want to leave which is possibly not the best plan.

Go to some heavily bubbled ratting systems where you get 12-20 large bubbles on a single gate. Shocked

Stealth "please also add an equivalently awesome visual for when a ship is finally actually on-grid, out of warp, and targetable" hijack!

Well, maybe not all that stealthy.

That is ~futurestuff~

What I mentioned with cynos was the fact that there exist two kinds of them:

One is a sneaky stabby cyno that is ~invizibul~
The other is like strapping a bullseye to your ass and inviting the system to a kicking contest.

And they both have the same icon. It's not asking for shiney features, it's asking for... workplace safety compliance Lol
