Player Features and Ideas Discussion

When someone jumps into a system, there should be an audible sound, as well as a visual cue to indicate that they have come through your gate. Basically, it should work the same as before. Stop breaking ****.

As it is now, there is absolutely no noticeable indication that they've come through the gate you're on.

Let me take a stab at this: You're a die-hard gate camper that doesn't notice when ships appear through the stargates because there's no "Flash" or sound anymore meaning you can't Facebook or whatever and only have to pay attention when EVE tells you someone just jumped into the system through the gate you're camping? Am I right?

Effort in = results out. Watch your screen and earn those kills.

EDIT: Is the free intel in Local Chat not enough for you that you need audio and visual cues to get you to look at the screen?

EDIT2: Try posting this up in the Official Odyssey Feedback Thread as well if you want to add your feedback.

Poor gate campers.

I have an Iteron full of tissues. Which system should I deliver too?

What he said.

Sorry, I must have missed the ISD next to his name.

Edit: Just to clarify what I mean by this, he isn't ISD, therefore it's not his job to play forum cop. He has no right or justification for being aggressive. Making assumptions with no basis is a pretty good thing to do though.

Also, it's a bit pointless to post in the main thread like he suggests. The thread is in the correct forum. Posting all your feedback in there just globs it all together in a nearly unreadable format. Who wants to read through every post on that thread? Especially when half of them don't need to be read, because they're not really giving feedback.

I think you might be missing the point slightly. You posted feedback to the changes recently deployed. There are already threads up which CCP are paying attention to specifically for this feedback. The reason they do this is to avoid flooding the forums with masses of individual threads all on the same or similar subjects. CCP don't want to have to find all the threads, they want to look at the few threads that have been created for the purpose.

The reason that Maximus keeps having to point this out to people is because people keep posting in the wrong place. Whether you/they think what you're/they're doing is clever or whatever you're actually Doing It Wrong (tm). If everyone did what you've done none of the threads would be read as they'd immediately get pushed off the front page (and with the number of feedback posts off the second and third pages too) within minutes and so there would then be a bumping war and it would just turn into a nightmare. That is why CCP have dedicated threads for feedback. It's to stop the forums from becoming impossible to use.

To a certain extent we're all "forum police". When someone posts in the wrong forum it's usually one of us that notifies CCP that the post needs moving. When someone uses direct insults it's usually one of us that picks them up on it. It's only when that person pushes it that CCP become involved. We're not official but we do have the ability to speak out when needed and every time I've seen Maximus point someone to the feedback threads it has indeed been needed.

Woo! Another one! I love these kind of topics!


I say no to bring back the gate flash. This means you now have to pay attention to when people come into the system, poor gate campers.

Maximus, do you mind if I use your tear jar? I feel like i am going to be part of your team by doing this alot.

bump

want gate flash and sound back

Best post in this whole thread. Gatecampers have always been doing easymode PvP, having a great big flash and a great big noise spoonfeeding them intel. Now they have to be alert and aware, just like their prey. Sorry gatecampers, no tears for you. Well, except for your own, that is.




If we're talking about immersion, I would like to point out that the entry gate does in fact serve a purpose. It helps if you consider that when boiled down to their most basic descriptions, stargates are both Jump Portal Generators and Cynosural Field Generators. Which one they act as for your particular jump is dependent on which way you're going. It's not precisely like that, but it's a functionally suitable explanation. There's always Article: Interstellar Traveling and Chronicle: Old Man Star for precise details.

I virtually never give a thumbs up to smart-ass replies but that one had me literally laughing Thanks

"here, gank my tissue box hauler"

It was changed, they'll adapt - nothing new about gate campers adapting in this game (and I'm pretty sure they'll find a way to turn it to their advantage no less)
