Where I can turn OFF this idiotic blinky effect when I kill NPC?

I think NPC will not jump to the gate or warp away from my mission, so trust me CCP, I know when it's dead and without this blinky effect for idiots and 5 years old kids.

I kill few 1000 NPC every day, so you blink few 1000 times x3 in my face, I really sick of this epileptic effect.

I sure this was cool effect on presentation for your boss and for noobs on Fanfest, if you show it ones, but it's absolutely not if you play EVE day by day. And I play - your developers NOT, so I want settings to remove thism, because for this impossible to play.

*blinky effects after every kill this devs is crazy...

Would be better if you repair old bugs like showing blues in local like neutrals and in stations too, then spend own time on moving UNDOCK buttons upside down and creating useless effect for presentations...

All I know is that I went from 22 days to 51 days overnight. I'm just curious if they will compensate people for that.

Well, I've spent all day looking at Odessy. In general, it didn't do any damage to any of my characters. I only had to upgrade one clone. (Many thanks to the person who mentioned that earlier. \0/)

But . . . I do have some issues I would like to mention.

1. Pre-upgrde, the camera distance to my ships was saved. I could dock and have the same camera distance when I undocked, What happened to that?

2. Radial menus. Never seen or used them before. I know, some bright guy at CCP decided thay are the wave of the future, but did he/she consider the effect of them showing up in inconvenient places at inconvenient times?

3. I agree with previous posters. The graphics for gate jumps now may be harmful to children and other living things Was there any reason to do this other stroking someone's ego, and testing the abilities of my 7 year old computer?

Oh, and another thing, my overview filters don't work consistently anymore. I'm mainly a miner. My miner has overviews for different types of ore. They only show the type of ore that is being mined at the moment. Worked fine before. Now, some of the overlays don't show any ore at all. If I open up overview setup, it shows that the ore type is selected. I have to un-check, and check again, re-save, and then I can see the ore.

No, no, no, no, no, NO!!!!! Please keep the new position - it's much more intuitive and logical.

Jumping is BEAUTIFUL!!!

Please either allow us to turn off certain effects or subsidize with Gravol ! Cheers! Looks cool tho and the effect is understandibly pretty real, however .....

I have hacking V, a ship fitted with dual T2 data analyzers, data analyzing rigs, plus an implant. I live in a C5 wormhole. A radar site that our corp used to be able to run in 30 minutes bogged down to over an hour an a half as I continually failed to hack one of the 20 or so cans in the site.

The new Hacking minigame is about as fun and adds as much gameplay to EVE as would a minigame for docking your ship at a station.

This is my first post on the EVE-O forums, so i hope i'm posting this in the right place. if not, obviously the Devs can move it to where it needs to be. WARNING: WALL OF TEXT IMMINENT

Odyssey has already released, which means i don't expect an outcome from my complaint, but i'm fairly irritated and feel the need to make my issues known. First i'll start by saying Retribution was an absolutely amazing expansion. From the new crime watch, to ship balances (i dont agree with all of them but feel most are a positive change for EVE in general, to the new UI and pretty little circles instead of squares around ships. Bravo CCP for putting out a completely kick ass expansion. Now here comes Odyssey...

Before i am accused of not being a team player and trying to play solo, let me just say that I currently have an alt in RvB, and once my other alt trains carriers, i'll be starting another toon for FW. I love the RvB forums and sense of community and that is one of the reasons i love EVE. However, i am bad..... really bad at making ISK. it took me forever to realize that hi sec exploration (specifically 3/10 and 4/10 DED complexes) can be extremely profitable. My hanger is overflowing with faction and DED space mods from low grade snake implants, to Corelum C type armor reppers and everything in between. When i blow stuff up, i like solo and small gang, but also enjoy larger fleets. But when i'm making ISK, it is always strictly a solo activity. in my mind exploration is the ultimate ISK making venture for a solo player. when i first started, i used a heron to scan stuff down, and then a cruiser or BC to run the site. doing this was inefficient since i had to either duel box, or scan, dock, reship, run the site, dock reship, and scan some more. and if i had to change systems, i had to move each ship individually.

My solution? invest in the SP and ISK for a good exploration Tengu. These ships can scan down a site in no time, warp straight to it, and have the DPS and tank to solo a 4/10 or 5/10 with no problem at all. typically i only hit the trigger, which means in some cases i would make 500m isk in roughly 10 minutes of work. i could travel and clean out 10 systems in a row without ever having to dock up or change ships.

When i first heard about the exploration changes to Odyssey, i was not pumped. i had worked hard and spent alot of isk to be as specialized as i could possibly be. but i totally understand the need to retain and attract new players, so after a few shots of bourbon, i was able to get past the idea of noobs running into my sites and competing with me and just got on with my day. i figured "hey, i still have my tengu, so i'll still have a leg up on the noobs". imagine my horror when i learned today that T3's will no longer be allowed in 3/10 4/10 sites. As Johnny Pew pointed out, T2's will be the new flavor for running those sites. an AB fit Cerb with a heavy active tank would have no problem soloing a 4/10 site. the problem is, i'm back to two ships. i have to use a scanning ship, and then swap over to a dps ship. then when i move systems, i have to move two ships. i'm essentially back to square one after all that effort and isk i put into exploring. i could go to low sec, but with low sec being the new hotbed for PvP after FW changes, and the fact taht tags4sec will only increase the hostile presence, there is no way i'm taking my 1.5b ISK tengu int here to get ganked, the risk/reward is simply not worth it. I do currently do low sec exploration, but i use the two ship method and use a "throw away" fit BC that i dont mind losing if i get caught.

I totally understand making exploration more accessible to noobs, but i have a real problem with punishing the older players simply because we have more SP and ISK. I view taking away T3's from lower complexes as "leveling the playing field" which is never a phrase one should hear in New Eden. make stuff more accessible.... sure why not, its good for everyone and i cant complain just because i have more competition. making my 1.5b ship unusable for the sole purpose i use it for just plain sucks.

PVE in EVE is a dismal, soul killing activity, and exploration is the only part i like. I've been an explorer for over a year. and now that teh "exploration expansion" has been released, i've lost interest. personally i think its bad if the very gameplay you are trying to improve, drives away the older veterans of that particular style of play.

Now don't get me wrong. i'm not unsubbing. i have no intention of rage quitting or selling my tengus. At this point i've decided to look for a good WH corp and join them. there i can still put my scanning skills and tengu's to use ratting sleepers. I have been wanting to move to WH's for a while now, but the lack of POS security (specifically hangers) has kept me out. Last thing i want to do is park 4bil worth of tengus and proteus's in a pos just to log in and see they are gone.

As i said, i can still use this toon and enjoy myself in WH space, but i would have rather made that decision on my own, rather than feeling like i was forced out of exploration by CCP. I'm fully aware this is going to happen, and i cant stop it, but i wanted to make one plea to CCP.

I understand the need for new blood, but for the love of Bob please don't start handicapping older players simply so the new ones have an easier time adapting.

I know this was a long post, and if any Dev was bored enough to actually read it all, kudos to you and thanks for hearing me out.

P.S. please tell fozzie not to continue with his plan to nerf all T3's. if my tengu gets nerfed even more i will have no choice but to fly to iceland and drop a turd on every car i see parked in the CCP parking lot (although i'm sure they are use to those kind of shenanigans during fanfest anyway so my turds may go completely unnoticed)

Well, finally i've found a couple of Relic sites...

I've liked this new minigame, nicely done.

Although i'm very dissapointed by the reward from it. At least for Highsec.

About a 400k from one site, and too easy - i can just quickly click all the nodes randomly, without using any powerups, and still get it with bore than 50% health...

Well, looking forward to further development for it...

soooooo...... you hate them because of the chance of losing SP.... but have never lost SP in one, and they should not be in EVE in the first place because...... why exactly?

i have no problem with the SP loss or the stupid high cost of teh ship. but if i'm paying Carrier prices for a cruiser, it damn well better be able to do just about anything i want it to.... including exploring all sites regardless of rating

and not to get too off topic from Odyssey, but you make the conscious decision to get into one of those ships and possibly lose SP, if a pilot is ok with that risk, then no biggie. another concern i have with nerfing T3's is the effect on WH's. as i said, my next move will most likely be a WH. CCP has repeatedly stated that WH's are one of the most balanced parts of the game, needing the least amount of fixes. if T3's are nerfed, that negatively effects WH residents. If i were CCP i'd be overly wary of possibly negatively affecting one of the most "unbroken" areas of the game.
