EVE General Discussion

I am not epileptic. But I do feel VERY badly with that animation in long travels. Up to the point that I had to dock.. raise from my chair and only go back to game 5 minutes later.


Just because YOu do not feel bad, that doe snot make it a wise decision to make wild cmaera movments mandatory wo watch.

This is a very disappointing attitude. Are you really trying to imply that CCP is incapable of implementing a toggle like we already have for camera shake and camera centering because the old lines of code have been removed? Or are you just trying to antagonize players who don't want your newly coded eye candy?

I get that CCP coders are defensive about their new beautiful jump animation graphics, but your attitude sucks bro. Would you like some feedback from the players who don't have time to mess around on Sisi? Clearly you would not, but here it comes anyway:

This new jump animation is disorienting and distracting. It has the subtlety and class of a pimped out El Dorado that won best in show for Mexico City. It quite literally jerks the players around in a manner so unpleasant as to encourage players to CLOSE THEIR EYES to avoid having to look at it repeatedly. The distraction is an unwelcome one. It feels like a mini-movie is being played to me against my will over and over again while I'm trying to play the game. The action for me is on the GRID not in the film shorts.

It literally feels like I am being flushed down a toilet, or swallowed like a glass of water, when I jump now.

I am all for the HTFU attitude when it comes to game balance issues. People who whine about their FOTM getting nerfed deserve no sympathy. However, this isn't a game balance issue. This is just eye candy distracting from the game, exactly like the (still) unfinished WIS. The main difference is the jump graphics are being repeatedly shoved straight down the throat of second-to-second undocked game play.

I have no way to compare it, but it FEELS slower between jumps now for PVP. There are plenty of times when split seconds matter for someone trying to jump through a gate and cold warp.

This is how PVP feels now:

1) Players: "Incursus landing on the gate at zero. Jumping through with him."
2) CCP: *SPIN* *FLUSH* "HEY LOOK AT OUR NEW OUTLANDISH JUMP GRAPHICS! AREN'T THEY COOL!!!?!?"
3) Players: "He's burning back to the gate, someone force him through... he's jumping, jump after him!"
4) CCP: *SPIN* *FLUSH* "HEY LOOK AT OUR NEW OUTLANDISH JUMP GRAPHICS! AREN'T THEY COOL!!!?!?"
5) Players: "Couldn't lock in time, he's warped to the X gate. Following in warp. Jumping behind him again."
6) CCP: *SPIN* *FLUSH* "HEY LOOK AT OUR NEW OUTLANDISH JUMP GRAPHICS! AREN'T THEY COOL!!!?!?"

PROPOSED SOLUTION: Dump non-player-controlled movement (camera reorientation) entirely. Cut the tunnel graphics time in half. Or better yet, just go back to the old system and use the pretty new video sequence for promo videos. Edit: Or add a checkbox to the esc menu to turn the whole mess off.

it is not adapting for god sake.. How can you be so arrogant? Do you think my stomach reversing its flux due to montion sickness is anything that is liked to my TASTE about the feature?

I get baffled how many arrogant people think that the universe forcefully works exaclty the same to toehr peopel as it works for them and anyone having any different experience is obviously just whining. You gonna say what next? That allergies are something that you can get used to and they are not a problem?

Oh...my...god... I hadn't even thought about gate games with this crap implemented. Can you imagine having to go through this once every 20 seconds or so for however long it takes to catch a repeated gatecrasher? Holy ****...ugh.

With all the things that need tuning and fixing in EvE I feel this was a massive waste of resources. How about spending your time on something we need. Assisting drones from the watch list, better drop down menu's as the new radial ones are awful and glitchy ect ect. These kinda of flashy effects waste dev time and system resources. I have a great machine and when running multiple clients I can tell there is some lag with the new gate mechanic. It nice to see it once or twice but honestly its a worthless feature and it shows your priorities are way off.

Btw You borked the shield/armor/hull alerts with this new patch. This needs to be fixed ASAP. These are the things you start to see when a gaming company is out of ideas for content. Just another feature like WIS that brings nothing to game but more client side lag and wasted Dev time.

Seriously? how hypersensitive are all your stomachs that you're getting ill off all this?

I travelled somewhere upwards of 100 jumps yesterday and loved every second of it.

Here's a hint - if you're experiencing vertigo, then your inner ear is not receiving enough stimulation. look around you as you play. If there's a TV in the room, glance at what's going on every few seconds - sports matches are great for this, because you can keep track of the score. Keep a book handy and read a chapter while warping. Keep the internet up on your second monitor. Hell, nod your head to your music, something.

You don't need to do much but if you're just sitting there motionless and hunched forward with the monitor filling your field of vision and no inner-ear stimulation from motion, you're going to get sick, and it's not the animation's fault, it's yours for sitting unnaturally still.

I wont believe anyone here that he's getting motion sickness from this effect

So when warping around everything ok?
MWD on frigate/ orbiting everything ok?
Action games 10x faster/flashy than eve everything ok?

But that one short, cool, not even medium flashy or very fast effect makes You feel bad? Just lol

I got myself a little motion sicknes but this effect don't make me feel bad, i fly today and yesterday over 100jumps and watching at most of them (they just fantastic) and i feel perfect.

Maybe stop lying, or don't sit 12h in game, move sometimes and You will feel better, because that's the cause of feeling bad, not jump effect.

And some dudes saying "i do 50 jumps and feel bad" lol who make a lot of jumps and look at every one of them?

+1 on/off, I'm already really tired of this animation -_-

After making a few dozen jumps last night, I could certainly do without eve hijacking my camera. I don't get sick from it, but I do find that it's the ONLY time my camera goes spinning wildly of it's own accord and I find that annoying. Would love to see an off switch.

As for the motion sickness, I suspect it's got a lot to do with the camera swing and the exit animation rather than the tunnel itself. We've had warp tunnels for a while and I don't recall complaints about those.

I love the idea of the animation.

I feel nauseas as a dog after a dozen jumps.

Please give us the option to turn the damned thing off. Thank you.
