EVE General Discussion

I agree. After all, we normally watch ourselves tool around in space from a third-person perspective. Why that should change when you jump is beyond me. I don't like it at all.

it's inconsistent with the normal gameplay visual perspective.

Many screamed about it when it was added, as always nothing changed, obviously it never will.

Just a note, no change has ever come without at least some one disliking it. Frequently when Devs do listen to those few they end up pissing off even more by changing it back. Not always the case but it happens enough to make them very leery of reverting such things.

Another note, a game that never changes little things like that always die at some point due to that, because most want such little changes over time because without them the game gets stale.

Things always change in this game. Sometimes you will like it, sometimes you won't, but generally you will have a better experience if you don't obsess over such little things.

Unfortunately, it don't work this way.

I have to agree about the fact that if you don't change "little things", at a moment it accumulates and become a really bad point for a game, especially Eve Online. But sometimes if you change some of them the wrong way, you will find players obsessed with that because this changes become real annoyances.

The main problem with the jump gate animation -for my case- is this annoying lightning effect who can't be disabled. After some jumps, I have to cover the center of the screen with wallet/industry window because I begin to have an headache. And so obviously my gaming experience in EVE has reduced since this new jump animation as you can't live in a station forever, I even left few months because of that.

I understand that this effect is here to give an "active" feeling to the gate, but if it can physically affect some players, that means it has been done wrongly. But CCP never admit that when it happen.

I can say the same for many others little things, like the deletion of the "Load Station Environment" option, a really bad move who raised up the GPU temperature. I am afraid that CCP will lose players who use gaming laptops...

So yes, little things must be changed but with CCP it is better not, because CCP often break them instead of upgrade them, and they don't care of feedback.......

Sounds like the gamma is out of whack on your monitor. If you have it turned up to see, you should probably back it down. Maybe invest in a high quality monitor that you can adjust to your needs.

Cheapest thing you can do is look away when the jump happens. Good time to pick up your favorite beverage and take a sip.

Because your little camera drone must dock with your ship during jumps, otherwise it will get left behind!

I'm sorry to hear it's such a bother for you. I don't notice it because I jump with my mouse so I'm already moving the pointer to above the current system listing in the route since it 'jumps up' when the jump is triggered and I right click on the name of the next system in the list that appears there and once I lost the 'streaks' on the screen I click on 'jump' for the next system. My ship never stops moving and warping. I rarely sit under cloak for more than a second when I'm in a rush or in hazardous space.

Thus, I'm never looking at the middle of the screen. I'm being efficient and the warp effect more than bores me by now.

You could also turn down your monitors brightness a notch or two. This will make it seem less annoying. Just some ideas for the way the game is now.

And, to your general sense about the game has to change to suit you not you to the game, that position seems a little... odd. Maybe I'm misinterpreting your sentiments.

I don't get it, you're complaining about the ship aligning to the place where you will warp? I don't understand the problem..

+1 please allow option to turn off.

And no, not ever going to stop whining about this. It's intolerable for those of us who suffer from motion sickness, and 'look away' is not an acceptable workaround. Not asking for a redesign, just allow those of us who want to turn the damn thing off, to turn the damn thing off. It's not an unreasonable request for any visual mechanic. If major numbers of players do disable it, then perhaps a rethink is needed.
