CCP, essentially the entire base of people who've tested Retribution on Buckingham have told you, in every way imaginable, have tried to inform you in every way possible to them, that these new explosion effects are not only bad, but in fact worse than the current ones on TQ. A good 95% chunk of feedback about them HAS been bad, and you guys have completely ignored it. You've purposely not responded to any of the criticism of these unfinished, lackluster missile-explosion-copy effects that you've applied to ship deaths.

Sticking your fingers in your ears and going "LALALALALALA THE NEW EFFECTS ARE AWESOME" while we're all trying to tell you they're crap isn't a good way to do things. In my previous threads I gave CCP the benefit of the doubt because everything was still in development...but now it's 1 day from Retribution going live and these explosion "effects" are still unchanged.

For the love of god, can we get some sort of response from you guys as to why they're so bad, and as to whether or not they're going to be revamped in the future?

By their fruit you will recognize them.

Agreed.

The current TQ explosions (say for supers) is a whole: OMG BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM kinda feeling.

Now its just like: Did I kill a titan or a frigate?

Either don't put these explosions in and actually re-work them to be decent, or watch as the people who have never seen these start crying.

yeah. i started a feedback thread about them a while back but the majority of us thought that they where still experimental and unfinished... well. seems not.

how to fix eve: 1) remove ECM 2) rename dampeners to ECM 3) add new anti-drone ewar for caldari 4) give offgrid boosters ongrid combat value

You'd think they'd finally put in some kind of death animation. With lots of mini KABOOMS along the hull, while it drifts for a bit *this was on Sisi for a bit where the ship would drift befor blowing up, it looked awesome*

Also where is the smoke? and for titans where are the explosions from the trailer? The last one where the titan had lots of pieces breaking up? not the CGI one from some years ago, it was very resent.

I think the main reason as to why animations like this haven't been implemented yet is because the developers want to complete the V3 and DX11 projects first.

So why did they waste their time taking the semi-decent explosions and making them into this crap?

Same with all features that were crap, 90% of comments on it are how bad it is. 10% are usual trolls or patented asskissers.

Even missile effects aren't that good, they just make a bit of a flare and smoke, from HAMs to Cruises and Torps, there is not much difference.
New explosions are just a bit re-edited missile effect, or its incredibly similar. If a 500m ship blows up, and its reactors, cores, whatever, it should make more than a fart in space.

CCP ships it out despite all negative comments, then spend 6 months fixing it.
Standard procedure.
