Test Server Feedback

I looked on the test feedback thread, and there was one for the activation of accounts on SIngularity, but it was locked. Could someone activate me?

ANd when is the next mirror?

just an ideea

remove t2 missiles penalty.why? compared to t2 turret ammo

hail has enourmous falloff these days,barrage has even more at the cost of only a few dps loss
quake has been recently buffed (few month ago) has 1.25x more tracking (better than faction ammo) and all t2 long range ammo has been buffed for that matter.
void/null has been buffed..

show missiles love,remove the t2 precision speed penalty,buff them

So Far I have tested heavy missiles both assault and regular, rockets, light missiles, torpedos.

However I was very exited to text the torpedos, because I wanted to see the new explosion effects you used, but quick enough I found them rather unexpectedly small and without any visual punch to them, they looked the same as a heavy missile explosion effect.

All I'm saying is, maybe amp up torpedo explosions a bit, make them bigger and more impressive in scale, make them feel like a real battleship killer.
It should be noted this was from about a day or to ago, and I just finished patching again, I'll revised this post as needed.

I also agree with two other points made by others, #1 bomb effects should be more powerful looking more blind you with a nuke sort of feel, and #2 torpedo launcher animations only fire the first and second missiles in the silo and skip the third.

But on a better note, no matter the torpedo effects, this has greatly enhanced the feel of missiles into something that at the very least FEELS worth using.

EDIT: I just tested cruise missiles and they feel good, they feel almost perfect, nay! Perfect!.
The explosions on them are perfect in scale if you had to change them I would say maybe a bit larger but I don't really think they need change, just that if you had to bigger is always better with explosions ^^

But I also noticed just now that almost all the launch sounds are the same. Where you can tell what some one is firing both ammo and gun type with turrets there is no such way with launchers as of yet, making it hard to ID what someone is using by sound alone.

Also retested torpedos and there still a little underwhelming when you think about what they are.

I'm really happy about the changes, however the hookbill looks like crap with all the launchers where there are.

Any chance to move the launchers to on top and under the wings?

the missiles looking awesome .. Just some small design overwork maybe .. please see below the suggestions ..

1. kinetic at all look a little bit weak with effects ... right .. but what should be there for an "kinetic" effect .. I think there could be a little bit more light in the explosion.. white light explosion.

2. The torpedo explosions are still to weak I guess.. could be little bit larger explosion wave .. or something.

3. the sound of kinetic missiles explosion is way to .. lolig .. just a *pufffff* that's all .. might consider it like the star wars sonar bomb :D

But anyway .. Real nice work CCP .. The damage zones are nice too .. now it's just the damage impact animation (shield hit, amour hit, Structure hit) I miss .. than you really revamped EVE ..

Sorry to post this on here, it's related to tranquility but probably also on singularity. But befor i start -> pretty ******* awesome effects. i can chill in belts shooting pointlessly around me watching the pewpew. Probably made POS sieging more fun again as well!

However i noticed two small things related to the new Missile effects.
-> When taking a close look at the victim being hammered i notice the framerate lowering equivalent to my zoom in. Starting just a bit closer than the default "look at" (probably depending on size of object too tho) up to the maximum zoom in. Framerate ist solid at 60 FPS, then drops down to 10-20. Been shooting an asteroid with 7 HAM's from a drake.

-> Second, since the effects are on client side. i launched a volley of missiles, stopped my attack right after launch. Alt-Tabbed to my other account for a minute or two. Then switched back just to see how the missiles hit the target. Well... it doesn't take HAMs that long to go 15-18k so i retried extending the waiting time to an ovbious "you should have reached your target by now!". And again, i see them hit their targets long after they were fired. Can be kind of confusing and i can't imagine how exactly this is designed when dualboxing. But 2 retrocial questions here... how much confusing / annoying can it get for the player? ... and could there be an issue with missiles effect waiting / holding up too long until you switch back to let the effects 'continue'?

I'm running dual-screen, with nVidia GTX 550 Ti.

Another big thank you for all involved in this thread, you helped shape yesterdays release in a big way.

I spent a great day (and night) with the community yesterday on TQ collecting all the gripes, love and feedback chat channels had to offer. Discussion is already ongoing about how we can improve on things further. Not all your suggestions made it to Inferno 1.0 so stay tuned for more awesome, we where listening!

I LOVE THIS IDEA !!! I mean they already know when there reloading obviously, and they know the client knows if it has missles or not, so it should be able to know to keep the turrets in, even if it doesnt work for other peoples ships, it would be good to follow this for your own ship
