EVE General Discussion

...That does not involve eating babies. Although that should definitely be included in Walking In Stations for, um, roleplaying purposes.

I was flying through Empire space as a true pubbie does, going from region to region for purposes that range from running level 4 missions to mining ice--I had to stop when the goonies blew up my Mackinaw--to running level 4 missions. As I jumped from system to system, I heard this sort of half-hearted mmmmmm-schewwww noise that frankly did not sound anything at all like my gigaton ship being hurled lightyears across space.

So I thought, "Why doesn't CCP add different, improved, and cool sound effects for the different racial gates when you jump through them?" Sound effects like, for example, this.



Oh wait. Those were the sound effects we had. And CCP took them out for no reason. Literally no reason. Now we have the same boring crap for each gate we jump through. Thanks, CCP. You know what I'd like? I'd like it if you put the different gate effects back in the game. Just like I'd like it if you'd fix lag.

This isn't even a hard thing to fix. Hell, pretend it's part of the Retribution "expansion" and cram it in as a footnote. Just change it back.

Some sounds and music are being worked on for winter. Im pretty sure normal warp sounds different as I jumped around with the miner frig. Gates and stations are not correctly rendered and duality is very laggy so I can't comment on gates.

Thanks for volunteering to fix this.

I miss the old gate sounds.
TBH there are so many little sound improvements they could make but every time they do something like that most of the community just starts complaining that they're wasting time on something game mechanic related.

Also..since we now have the awesome visiuals when warping through planets..I'd really like if also the warp sound would change and get a little deeper for the time you pass through the planet.

That blue badge at the front page is totally misleading.

Can't you turn it off if you make a non-representative comment ?

Thanks !

I hope I am not the only one who repeatedly clicks into the youtube screen in a feeble attempt to scroll or turn the camera every time I watch an EVE video....

I came in here to eat babies

I think the OP's point is that every “update” to sounds the last few years have made them increasingly bland, boring, and worth turning off. It's kind of like how they removed all the effects for webs and scrams and jamming and damps and so on and replaced them with variations of the jump-bubble effect… except for ECCM which was replaced with a the fugliest and most horrific eye-sores of animated sprite overlays ever.

Give us back the old sounds (and, while you're at it, the old ewar/counter-ewar visual effects).
