EVE General Discussion

I´ve actually noticed eve players complaining about eve players the other day! Outrageous!

Read the test server feedback, assume that those providing that feedback are not purely trolls:

Remove the offending issue/s!


So far Odyssey is the start of the journey towards a new Spaceships MMO ,as EvE Online is no longer fun, avoiding the motion sickness, the poorly though out load scan animations, control moves & mini-games!

The whole animation from arriving outside the line of the gate, getting the camera yanked to the centreline of the gate right up to the flashing pizzas after the destination gate is vomit inducing!


& feeding the trolls: No you cannot have what little stuff I have!

When He MADE the cahnges he shoudl have foreseen this OBVIOUS issue and kept a way to usea normal loading bar. SIMPLE to any software engineering worth its pay. Sorrty but that its true, that is such a BASIC mistake that I would have advised for firing any of my underlings if they had implemented somethign this way.

You'd have to ask the original programmers to get a precise answer to that one, although there are a number of possible reasons to do so from a programming point of view.

Often the biggest hurdle CCP faces in introducing/changing systems in EvE is not the technical challenge of creating code to do so... rather it is integrating that code into existing legacy game code (often created well over a decade ago).

So you find yourself with situations like this, where implimenting the new effect to tie into everything else as it exists can be done in a reasonable time frame... but ripping the guts out of several systems to impliment it in a way that allows an "off" button is a vastly larger and more time consuming project.

They have said they are trying to pinpoint the parts of the effect that are causing the disorientation a few people are experiencing, which is the logical place to start. If they modify the effect so that it does not cause discomfort that is the main objective... all else is fairly superfluous.

Let me clarify something. I say "a few people" not to down play the fact that some people are experiencing discomfort... obviously that is something to always be avoided where possible. However a dozen responses on the test server, and the posts in a couple of relatively small threads (many repeated posting by the same people) is not a significantly large portion of the player base. Instead of complaining that they don't just rip it out (or go through a significant rewrite), you might consider that it speaks well of them to look into making adjustments so quickly based on such a relatively limited amount of negative feed back.

Question to CCP regarding the new jumpgate effects:

Did you check or do any tests to see if the new jumpgate effect would have a similar effect on people as flashing images on televisions? It appears to be standard nowadays on television news programmes for there to be a audio warning if flashing images are about to be broadcast.
One of my friends and a long time player of EVE Online is going to have to stop playing EVE Online due to the new jumpgate effects. He has put in a petition about it but has not received a response and is somewhat depressed about the situation to say the least. I realise everyone was excited about the new jumpgate effect at Fanfest this year. 'I was there' and was also excited about it but I think CCP should have put some work into this to see if it would produce this kind of reaction for some people.
It does sound like there is not going to be an remedy for this situation based on the CCP post for this subject which is somewhat unfortunate for all those people affected by it.

They said also, hangar view cant be brought back after incarna fiasco, and ma' look know we have it back!

We just have to get use to idea that we are paying CCP money to test their 'ideas'. This new jump animation is one more reason to stay docked, but hey at least we can spin our ships.


P.S. i dont want to go to jita flying 4 charons on 4 accounts jumping 20+ jumps! and watching this horrible jump animation.

Set destination to 'auto pilot' and do something else to pass the time more enjoyably.

Wow, the self-appointed Eve-O-Code-Expert entity "Ranger 1" is checking in again.
Maybe you are now able to explain...

1. what enables you to claim the said changes are "hardcoded" or irreversible? Did you work for CCP as a programmer?
2. why you are constanty ignoring the fact those dislikes expressed here are not just by people experiencing health problems.

Not everybody is confusing your random assumptions with facts.

I agree. Also nothing is irreversible in the programming world, it's just a matter of time.

Ok, I see that CCP does not give a feedback (which is strange).
Main question for now - to cancel or not to cancel the subscription?
Will wait till the end of month to see how it goes.
