EVE General Discussion

Well, what do you want?

Well, i have to apologize obviously.

Faction Point would do it.

When I see something wrong, or that needs improvement, I say so.

When I see people over reacting to minor changes, I say so.

I prefer not to jump on the outrage bandwagon without good reason, even if that isn't the "popular" stance.

Actually serious reply follows:

OP, please visit http://www.videogameseizures.org/ - might apply to you more than you want to acknowledge here.

Game is fine, you however might need to take measures if you really do feel sick and aren't just being a "It's new, I HATE IT" dingleberry.

Motion sickness is caused when your inner ear is saying one thing and your eyes are saying another. If your ears detect motion but you're focusing on something static and unmoving (which is why people get sick reading in the car), or vice versa - eyes say everything's moving, ears are like "lol no", which is what causes motion sickness when playing games.

There are a few ways to deal with this. Problem one is that you're probably keeping your face too close to your monitor. If your TV or monitor fill your peripheral vision then that's a problem. You want your peripheral vision to not be detecting motion, ideally. sit back a bit. If you find this makes it difficult to see the screen, schedule an appointment with your optician - you may be short-sighted, or you may need stronger lenses if you already wear them. Sitting back will also help your posture and keep you from developing low back pain.

Another way around the sickness is to stimulate your inner ear with motion by moving your head. It doesn't actually need to match the motion on screen, so long as your head is moving. Look around you, maybe put a sports channel on TV and check the score occasionally, or keep a book nearby and read a sentence or two during warp. Look out the window, check out stuff on your second monitor, nod your head to your music. It doesn't matter what you do so long as you stimulate the inner ear with motion. If you have to, dock up and go get a glass of water or a cup of tea or something.

The reason you're getting sick is not because of the animation, it's because you're sitting unnaturally still. It's on you to resolve that, not on CCP.

The new stargate transition animation is absolutely beautiful. I really do love it.

However, after a number of jumps, I do start to feel queasy. I don't have a bad case of motion sickness -- it is fairly mild -- but the camera movement of the new animation triggers it.

Please provide an option for us to have some other sort of (static?) transition between jumps. Like I said, it's not bad for me, and most likely I will be able to adjust to it over time. However I know others could be close to vomiting after the first transition.

Even withotu the issue of motion sickness this jump thing is a HORRIBLE design by anyoen that understands on human iteraction with computers. Anythign that is repeatedly performed must have MINOR and subtle feedback on the screen otherwise it gets tiresome and will eventually start to give headache to a LOT of peopel that now are not still suffering from the sickness.


This is AGAIN another change clearly pushed by someone that does not play much eve at all. I really doubt 1 in 3 people will not get fedup with this when day after day they perform 70 jumps per hour during 4 hours of a day.

Your arrogance is astounding. Some people do truly have issues and you blow it off as a "seen it before post".

Re: Stitcher...

Watching the animation, I think _my_ problem might be it is not very fluid like the warp drive animation. Perhaps my computer or CCP needs to work a bit more on the system change, but how I see the effect:

Fire down the gate into the vortex.
Slight pause (system change).
Continue the vortex.
Pause.
Lightning flash.
Stuttering vortex.
Vortex vanishes and new systems' items are a distance.
Abruptly stop and in gate cloak mode.

If my mind was not attempting to fill in the missing blanks, then I might not get the occasional headache.

That would be because I have... many, many times.
