EVE General Discussion

I like it ..
Adds a degree of immersion for me.
The colour is subdued, and doesn't overpower the display/ui
The things identified are easily ignored, if you don't want to access them, and they are displayed in a way that doesn't clutter up the overview.










These forum's have degenerated a lot recently.
There's too much crying over inconsequential and trivial things.

I've not had any issues with this cool overlay. ALso what FLASH? It looks like a system sweep to me.

It's not a new font, it's an intrusive and annoying feature tht we should be able to choose whether we want it or not. Those tht like it, great, those who don't shouldn't have it forced on them.

Same goes for the new sounds. Ever since the patch i'm playing without sound... needles to say i'm not gonna pay for 4 accounts to play with no sound and an annoying overlay popping up every time i jump or undock.

Seriously all this could so easely be avoided by giving people the choice. But tht seems to be something you refuse to learn.

Really bummed out with what you guys been doing lately and tht's a damn shame because i loved this game. Just seems to be going downhill with the last few patches/ "expansions"

Seriously, CCP should just bring back the Second Genesis client and let people play on that if they don't like the updates. All the old textures and all the old everything. It'll stop so much needless complaining. Except that then they'd complain that development of new stuff has slowed down because CCP needs to do extra work catering to their demands.

you can...

just click the scan icon go up and put a red X on the icon

red X = no longer displayed...

Just like the nausea-inducing new jump animation, this has to be optional. With a checkbox.

CCP, you did it right with the nausea-inducing camera tracking: there is a checkbox for that, and I don't see anyone complaining. I am sure there are people who actually like it.

Please do the same to the scan animation and jump animation. They are distracting, especially when multi-boxing.


To all "apologists" in the thread: if you like the animations, or want to buy a new GPU every time there is an EVE patch - good for you! For the rest of us, choice cannot be a bad thing.

I seem to remember a certain "on-board ship scanner" that used to come with a button to manually order your ship to start scanning. This would allow for you to scan when you actually want to look for things, only with the new, fast, Odyssey system range scan instead of the old 8 AU one.

So when someone tinkers with something you absolutely love and turn it into an annoying experience, you should just keep your mouth shut and grin and play? Sorry, but I'm no sheep. Things keep moving in the direction of flash and I'll walk, but I'm at least going to resist negative changes and try to reason with CCP, because I do love this game.

Text based EVE? Right. It's more that I think those of us are looking to preserve or push for better graphical content. This overlay that looks like a particle effect doesn't improve the graphics, it's just flash and to some of us very irritating. If anything, I'd push for better background/ship textures rather than the kind of effects that clutter up most MMO's. One of the major appeals of EVE is that it isn't full of this visual garbage.

What scan animation?

My mind put that on ignore about 3 days after it came out. No help from CCP required.

Perhaps if you didn't focus 100% of your attention on seeing it every time you undock or come out of a jump, you'd get over it.

EVE players are a hard cynical bunch of mean people in an unforgiving universe.

Also use hardware stolen from bankrupt supermarket ten years ago, suffer from all sorts of sicknesses so their shrinks get rich.
"The warp animation made me siiiick..." *sniff*

Otherwise like to tell noobs to HTFU...
