EVE Information Portal

Wow - this camera... what were you guys thinking?

I just wrote a bug report about a stuttering effect when boarding the Capsule. Maybe this (with bigger ships hardly noticable) camera problem adds to the nasty effects causing nausea.

This right here! If you want a lot of players, allow the settings to accommodate them all. Everyone is different and what appeals to one person could easily annoy another enough to quit. If there's enough customization for each individual to keep the effects they want while disabling those they don't want, everyone can be happy. I realize it takes dev time to implement the options and ensure they work, but I strongly believe it would be worthwhile from the standpoint of maintaining the player base.

If Eve is supposed to be a sandbox where you make choices and do what you want, it makes sense to let the players make choices and set things up the way they want too. It may add complexity to some menus, but that's nothing compared to the complexity in the game mechanics.

They sadly certainly have no choice, because they have no decisional power. The "commercial director" or other person who has no clue about EVE has taken the decision and the devs have to do it and to shut up. Then they have to be hated by us because they have spent so much time to make some useless crap which is damaging the gameplay. They then try to dodge pathetically by saying "it was not my departement" and other evasive manoeuvres.
But we should address our anger directly at the true responsible for that regular fiasco : THE BOSS.
Hey boss of CCP, come here and discuss openly with us if you have a bit of courage. Take your responsability and take the blame for your mess. don't hide behind the devs.

Yea, just checked mine, my "opportunities" in this event are ALL to kill Angel Cartel stuff. No idea what that gotta do with serpentis but okai.

Considering the fact that our biggest enemy lives in angel space that excludes me also completely from the event as an individual. fair system you got there!

July 10....a magic date by now. after 8 Years...

to the "workaround" with the captains quarters, i'm not willing to use a workaround for a product i play just cuz a feature literally NO ONE likes and that harms people physicla is refused to be taken out. at that moment there is not only something wrong with that feature but as well with the mindset of the company we feeding here (for years).

when people gettin hurt physicly with sickness by a stubborn developer we for sure know how they really "care" about their playerbase. as someone already wrote before: actions speak louder then words. and by now CCP showed the "caring" of a water company selling you their delicious water while poison it with lead in the process.

Sorry but no it isn't, color schemes are actually a good addition. Thet offer choice

The new camera is only useful to a minority of the player base, by design. (those who make and upload free advertising for CCP)
It has less usable features then the old, is clunky and often very unresponsive.
The tactical overlay with its curved lines linking ships to distance, makes absolutely no sense, leave that to the tactical camera, the overlay has. had different uses.

And something else I just noticed - The new slow motion undocking timer, turns off the tactical overlay when you undock.

Sorry if I hurt your feelings but that simple slider is not "customization" of the new camera. It is just a slider to reduce one of the worst aspects of it.

Nearly 20 Pages of people saying they don't like the new camera thing. Atleast give us an option to turn it off, I personally don't like it, you can't stop it.

I like the option for the color schemes, don't know why that went away.
The jukebox would be nice to have back. (inb4 who uses sound?)
The PVE events are unfair to new players, multi-boxers have the upper hand in this event.
Event is poorly balanced. I know CCP can do better than this.

Exactly, it's the exact opposite of what it should be doing : being accessible to the newcomers, often isolated and unable to complete an incursion or to kill sleepers ! . The vets get these poor rewards they don't need when they'd be so useful to the newcomers !

*raises hand*

The new docking/undocking camera is awful. Takes to much time, makes no sense if you switch your ship in hangar.
It's just annoying.

Remove it or make on/off toggle.

I don't like this feature.

For some reason the art department or whatever they call themselves have way too much say in what happens in this game, you can have the best looking game ever made and that means nothing, you go oooh aaah for a minute and get over that pretty quickly especially if the gameplay is getting interferred with, eg camera, docking/undocking/changing ship, stupid gong noises and flashy animations, slowing down things like changing ships and changing zoom on undock. I know some of these things were called "bugs" and others have been since changed.

If the people that made the changes to the undocking animation acually played the game they would know that you need to be able to see if there is anything on the undock and where it is, the overview only tells you how far away it is and not where it is located. The possibilty of getting jumped off station and whelped has increased since the last patch, great for discouraging anyone to undock.

The epitome of stupidity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
