EVE General Discussion

That's what she said?

Sorry, couldn't resist.

You can't always give in to costumer either unless ending with a huge clusterfuck of different things is your goal.

Jesus Christ...is that the new thing now?

Not you, but I'm really baffled by the frequent CCP dictator dev fanboi whiners itt who somehow imagine the mere presence of an off button will affect their gameplay. It won't. The default state would be visuals on. Someone in CCP just got besotted with the idea of nauseating camera pans before every jump, and intrusive blinky green and red diarrhea in space after every jump. Some people though on their own screens simply would not have to see the gate jump or autoscan barf that was forced into the game. There was no outcry for these things amongst the player base prior to their introduction.

Lots of people that play have ship explosions turned off. More probably have turret and missile effects toggled off. None of those client side graphical choices affect immersion apparently to CCP. Most certainly none of those individual off buttons affect any other player's client at all.

This is all we asking for, an off button that we can toggle off, while the majority of players probably would leave the visuals in their default "on" state. It's really rather simple, and the coding is probably already in-game considering the off buttons for various existing graphical effects. Or they could just have jump toggle-able to wormhole effects ~

I was specifically talking about telling people to go to W-space. There were three comments from three different people, on three different topics, that made that exact statement that day.

Hey, CCP we really want the option to toggle on the old system. If the old system is gone please create a new system which provides the option to display a progress bar like the old system instead of the new jump animation.

and here I thought I could sneak in if I ditched the robe and sandals

To stop being a niche game, it would have to go away from the component making ti a niche game and that would basically mean going away from the core foundation on what the game is built... It's not details like the jump animation that cause it to be a niche game.

lol

While the jump animation is no longer "new", it is still supremely annoying.

And I still don't understand why almost every other effect in game is customizable, except this.

Ship explosions, missile effects, turrets, even whether ships occlude the sun. Station environments. Shaders.

But no, no, you cannot turn off the awful shaky grey tunnel.


Well, I am down to one account from a peak of 5, and this is at least in part because of the tunnel thing, and the dev response to it. And to those that post here saying that the animation is fine - good for you. We don't want to take it away from you. Just give the people who don't like it a checkbox to turn it off. It is not hard to do, really.
