Test Server Feedback

If you had actually been reading the other forums as you are claiming, you would know CCP has already admitted there is issues with the session changing optimization and even stated that before putting Odyssey on sisi...but who reads that kind of stuff right?

To be honest....there is this notion that this is making people sick. Umm it may be making a few people sick if they have VIMS (Visually Induced Motion Sickness) However, since there has not been an outcry to get rid of the current tracking cam on TQ I am more inclined to believe people are exaggerating this in order to do away with the effect which to me seems almost childish. I really hope CCP isn't taking those comments seriously.

It bewilders me to try to understand how a warp tunnel can do nothing to someone for motion sickness but a hyperspace tunnel and a bit of camera tracking makes you throw up... I mean really?

I agree though, the exiting cam tracking is not needed, but the entry cam swing is very much so to give the entire immersive feel. As a player I want to actually FEEL like I am going through a gate, not sit there and go room to room to room..

The thing is, some people will literally complain about anything, that's what they do, its like a hobby to them. These are the kind of people that would have probably even complained about something as good as sliced bread.

And also there are some massive exaggerations too. Sorry but I don't believe people who said they threw up because of this effect, your just being ridiculous, and you should feel bad.

Good first:

►It's pretty, I think you can still do more with it, but it's pretty.

►It is put together rather well.

Bad:

►Although it is put together well the execution in the context of the game and traveling as a whole is poor.

►It feels like it is taking a much, much longer time to actually travel. All the camera movement and extra flair adds all this stuff that has to get done before I can actually do anything, and I found myself getting really, really tired of it after only a few jumps.

Suggestions:

►OPTION to turn it off. Options are good, people who hate it can have their way, people who want it can use it, everyone is happy.

►KEEP THE UI VISIBLE AND INTERACTIVE (Hell, make this an option too, as far as I could tell it was still THERE, I just couldn't see it, let us see it please). I was looking at the market and such, going over mails and when I would go to jump, "Bu...but I was reading that..."

Overall I perceived jumps to take longer, and in my 30-jump test of the feature I was getting very annoyed with how much longer everything seemed to take.

I like my peaceful everything-cuts-black-without-camera-shennanigans jumping, and would like the ability to keep it that way if I so chose.

Thank you o7

You should feel bad for your lack of empathy. If anything you seem to be the one trolling legitimate feedback that you don't like.

Why not just stick to posting constructive feedback of your own instead of criticizing the feedback of others describing their own subjective experience of the proposed changes?

Actually I set a course from Jita to the furthest system on the edge of the map I could get to SPECIFICALLY to test the longevity of using this feature, I have to admit after jumping for a very long period of time I felt no worse then when I started. If you had read my earlier post I am actually in support of removing post-tracking cams please don't assume by my supporting the entire effect that I don't think there isn't room for improvement; however, there is no need to completely remove the feature either.



Forgive me, but nagging about a feature in an attempt to completely disable it is not constructive feedback either. If you are providing a means to enhance it such as the session change optimization or lack of cam-tracking at the end of the effect then yes that would be constructive feedback. However, the effect is integrated into the database and thus the entire effect will most likely stay as it is. As I have stated multiple times though, I believe the post-tracking cam is un-needed and is most likely the culprit to so many not feeling well (if they are indeed throwing up).



CCP has stated several times they dont want to make eve feel like a game, they would rather it be more like their trailers with realism. Also, that same level of realism is what drew me to this game in the first place, it was the only space game that everything scaled right and provided a sense of reality and immersion.

However, correct me if I am wrong...you want to change something that is animated and moving to something that isnt and doesnt move because the moving bits make you bored??? Sorry, but logically that makes zero sense to want something still shot over moving because you are bored.



You will be pleased to announce that in CCP's effort to enhance this effect, one of the things they are looking at is adding this into wormholes and bridging

Most of the gates will not need this as they have a direct opening from back to front; however, yes the Gallente gates are backasswards lol so I would support the offset cams on them so you arent going through the plating of a gate and defying physics.

I support the "war" against loading bars.

However, I do not support this particular campaign. Don't get me wrong the jump animation is VERY cool - with the exception of uncontrollable camera movement...that is annoying. Failing to extend similar animations to cynos, whs, docking/undocking session change sequences may seem half-assed to the new customers this animation is targeting. IMO the new jump animations should not be released until all session change sequence animations can be updated.

Change the wild camera swing into a short "align" animation, synched with gate animation and followed by actual tunnel without fading UI. Here, problem solved, it still is very similar to mission gates and warping, just a different way to move.
Would actually probably do more for smooth transitions than camera swings.
Oh, and just in case. Hands off my cam It looks where i need it to.

Not really liking the new transition, although I thought I would when I initially saw it demonstrated on the Fanfest feed. It's intention was to make changing systems more immersive? For me it has not achieved this, now when changing systems it feels like I am being taken out of game to watch the same repetitive animation again before being thrown back into the game.

I have to say that I have not yet found one thing about this Odyssey release that I am looking forward to.

My only issue with the jump transition is your windows disappear.

Many times in war or just traveling in more dangerous areas I jump through a gate only to see in the overview an enemy uncloak before the screen transition. So I now can expect him on the other side. Or I know he was hiding waiting for me to pass through before warping off. With the jump transitions now all the windows disappear and you can't see whats going on.

I would love to have my chat windows and overview stay on top.
