OK so I'd heard all the hype, raced to my trusty spaceship. And zoomed out to see what it was all about.......


Mission result, I got a bit distracted looking at the new missile anims and ended up with total aggro. First time in I don't know how long an L4 mission has got me into armour and having to jump out.

Final result. The new missile anims may look great but I'm not going to be looking at them anymore. Sorry guys, you may have put a fair bit of time and effort into it, but I've had my fix. I'll be going back to making sure I don't aggro whole rooms again.

You get the funny award for the day. Nope! Don't argue!

Damn you CCP! Why must you make everything pretty and shiny and distracting? I'm going back to playing MUDs so I can focus on what I'm doing!

Sounds a bit like when my friend nearly crashed his car because he was staring at a highly attractive young lady with a short skirt on. I had to brake rly hard!

lol I went out and tagged some rats in a belt to watch the animations and suddenly realized I wasn't looking at local for like 5 minutes

came to the same conclusion

Was never one for pretty shiney things, unless it's cold hard straight from the mint cash of course.

What I do prefer is things that work. I was sort of taking the p*** out of myself with that first post. But in all honestly, who is going to be looking at the bright shiney missile anims tomorrow?

I don't want to have a bunch of Icelanders crying into there Beer as the sun doesn't set, but if there are a lot of players with the attitude.......

"oh pretty missile that looks good" ....... then after being distracted for 5 minutes by trying to work out how much to sell something for without taking their shoes off to count past 5...they head off to find their comfy blankies before going back to doing what they always do.

Was the time and effort cost effective?

In the words of that some great philosopher......Frack it, didn't think about hitting a belt. Guess Bright shiney things do distract me more than I realise lol

lol missiles

Seen the new Inferno trailer?

Missile fleets....my god thats as bad as the Butterfly effect. No one uses missile fleets aside from the drake whines I see, everyone knows missiles are useless in 99% of most engagements so hiding the truth is like defending a mining vessel in nullsec and saying you will be invited to a PUG fleet. Right.....cool animations and all but its like buying a car magizine to look at the chick on the hood...cool to look at but in practical when you try to drive away with her tied down to the fender Roll

Call me a cynic..... Loads up a CCP Missile anim and dares you to! But I've sat through enough glossy presentational videos at work to come to the conclusion that when someone makes one for an internal audience they are trying to bull...... oops feed you a company line that may over state the value of said product/application/methodology (delete non relevant) in the hopes that you will go forth and spread the good word.

All those little missile boats closing with the gallente blasterships.

They're gonna get wasted.

Tried on sisi, this si why I have "missile effects" off on TQ Lol

How much time do you think I have to look at those when I have hundreds of targets on my overview? -I don't give a dam

However, props and internets for the team doing this, it's awesome stuff Lol

Awe thanks Malcanis (kicks Malcanis up the ass and back into the crowd of plebes, grabs mic and hogs the limelight to give her acceptance speech) In accepting this award I'd like to thank my agent, my family, all those who nominated me, the pope (who I think is Catholic) and all those wonderful people at CCP who give us nice shiney anims we can give backhanded compliments to. Oh and my shrink who gives such wonderful pills and I'd like to thank those I work with but I can't cos they are complete *censored*'s who deserve a good *censored* and will get it when I rule the world.

I thought I was broked. I logged in with my Drake and I had no launchers.

Then I remembered, I fit Drakes with 2 tractors and 6 salvagers. Oops

Yeap, almost lost a Berserker II because I was looking at the missiles. Pretty, but the novelty wore off in precisely 1.721 minutes. Development time well spent! Big smile
