I really like the new animation. Makes it actually feel like you are traveling at extreme speeds, and i'm sure theres a little motion sickness that comes with traveling at that speeds Smile

But I guess an option to turn it off won't hurt just to keep the people afraid of some change quiet.

+1 for making it optional.

Yes, its a cool effect.

Yes, its 100% annoying to deal with when doing more than say 10 jumps.... 2013? Mind-numbingly rotating screens in my face when I'm trying to do something tedious? I think not.

Please fix.

The tracking camera is by no means related to the new gate jump animation, so your "advise" is worth nothing.
Why not log in and actually play the game?

Because repeating often given (and incorrect) advice is the cool thing to do. It's far more entertaining to be wrong without even realizing it, than to actually play Eve, amirite?

I have motion sickness too and the sooner it can be disabled the better.

Yeah, it was pretty. For the first few jumps. Then it became bland. Just something that's there.

Then its gets ******* annoying watching it over and over and over and over and over and over and over.



It's the same damn thing when your ship gets destroyed and having that stupid camera pan. Hey CCP, guess what? I'm more interested in saving my pod than watching a drunken camera.

Please CCP, give us the ability to "turn off" the jump gate animation. I am completely fine with seeing nothing but black screen until I get to the other side. I am not asking because of lag or my inability to multibox. I am asking because your new jump gate animation is now making it where I can not play the game.

I have a medical condition that puts me at risk of seizures. Yes, I play video games even though I am at risk of having a seizure. I have found my "path" in eve that limits my exposure to situations that may cause a seizure. Now, with the new jump gate animation, I can't even change systems anymore without being exposed to a possible seizure.

Yes, it seems as if I am asking to be treated like a special little snowflake and acting as if the eve universe revolves around me. But there are many players with similar medical situations that this new animation has effected. All I am asking for is a box to click that disables the jump gate animation, giving me nothing but a black screen as I travel the jump gate. Nothing more.

Okay, took a spin last night.

This new animation sucks.

It doesn't even look like it belongs. One second you're by the gate, next see this animation of your ship entering the gate, then l-a-g and a couple black screens before facing a wormhole like tunnel, to pop back to the old cloak standby position.

What's the point of all of it? The same entry and exit points remain, and this is just filler (and filler that introduces black blips that was just one before when entering cloaked).

If it had a purpose it maybe would be okay, but this is pure eye candy, and one not executing right (the black blips).

Option to turn it off would be fine, otherwise it's something like WoW's CRZ that lags and stutters the computer waiting for the Battle.net handshake for each new zone. Ugh

If your computer didn't suck you'd get to see how beautiful it looks. Those of you with motion sickness could simply avert your eyes elsewhere for the 2 seconds the animation runs. Problem solved.

gz to you having a shiny computer. If you don´t want to read about people expressing their opinion about some pseudo-features in the latest "expansion" just put some rags upon your face. Problem solved.

So, because I get motion sick from a badly implemented animation by CCP (yes it looks great!), I have to break the idea of actually flying in EVE (EVE is real after all) every_single_time I'm just about to jump?

Make the effect optional, and it will be fine...

and yes... i do not like the effect... makes me feel bad when it happens on 6 accounts at the same time -_-

I have a custom build i7 system with a nice HD 7980 videocard and 100mbit internet, TYVM. It's designed to run multiple clients at a time.

It doesn't look beautiful at all, and worse, out of place. One second by the side of the gate, next you see a pre-canned animation of your ship all of the sudden forced to the rear of the gate to go through it. It's disjointed and off. Weird.

The rest of the animation is equally weird because of the multiple cut aways - first the rear animation to get into the gate; second the wormhole effect (with it's black blips); and the final black blip to the cloaked view.

It maybe nice if it was more fluid and seamless, but the 3 parts now it look like splices.

Thx to #14

"Also started feeling some motion sickness while watching the camera turn.
So I'd very much appreciate a possibility to disable the turning."

Should be able to turn it off, i can play only 20 minutes or iam going to puke my lunch --____--

Now the option of flying in the map view isn't usable anymore since the client freeze at each jump.
Plz CCP make this an optional effect.

No you cant have my stuff when I stop playing because I've barfed on my keyboard Oops

Also I can't believe how many people have motion sickness from this... Hate to see them playing Mirrors Edge...


Mirrors edge?
Turned that off after a couple of jumps and went to read a good book to calmen my spinning head.
Eve gives me the same feeling now unfortunately.

Ok I understand this is meant to be facetious, but the irony is this is what I am actually doing. I have put another monitor up and read the forums in between jumps.

Just to be clear though, this isn't "problem solved", it is a user workaround and not a very acceptable one.

Still would like an on/off button please.

Understand this.

CCP do not give a F*** about if you like the graphic or not, whether it affects game play or not.

They want it, it stays in game.

We want the option, it stays in game.

+1 for the choice to remove the annoying jump graphic... BUT... It won't happen, because they don't give a F****!!!!
