Oh god, now I don't if you're being sarcastic about not being sarcastic!

Personally I didn't mind Eve without the poncification of the jump graphics, nor does it hugely offend me. I just think the time could have been better put to use in fixing things that genuinely need fixing...like POS management.

Please stop forcibly moving & panning the camera directly following gate activation.

The "c" option to disable camera tracking of selected objects does not halt the panning of the camera during the stargate jump activation sequence, following the use of the jump button.

CCP, we're still waiting for any kind of an update.

Why a switch on/off? Because the new animation doesn't add anything to gameplay and it's graphically annoying. In other words, it's worse than bad: it's useless. Simple as that.     _ - Kina Ayami_

cba to read all the posts in this one but my 1st reaction to this animation was, 'Wow, that looks totally badass,.. how do I turn it off now?"


My only issue with it is the camera rotation. As a pvper, the pretty graphic is not nearly as important to me as keeping an eye for as long as I can on what's going on around me. Losing camera control in favor of eye candy is not cool.

Thanks. o/

Remember kids, the new tunnel also shaved off some loading time....
You might get a bit laggy if you insist on punishing your computer with too much load, but tbh, I would rather have a splitsecond of lag, than get the (was is 20% shaved off?) loadtime back..

On the other hand I am a relly big fan of the ability to choose and customize how you want your game to look (grafics and UI) .
I have always found lack of custom UI and lack of settings to be a big flaw in EVE :/
It seems like CCP is having a "It's either or"-approach which I find very funny for a company that specializes in sandbox xD

well, you still have to load the jump animation, having it not loading, you save this loading time to actually load what you need, the next system! crazy right? it's not like it is what you want anyway right?

I don't blame you for not reading through this whole mess, but If you had read the thread, you would have seen that with a lot of people, it wasn't the first reaction that was the problem - it was the second, third, fourth, etc., as after multiple jumps, especially in sequence, it tends to get a bit tedious and repetitive, and people just get tired of it.

Add to that that there is a segment of the playerbase experiencing adverse physical reactions to the animation: headaches, dizziness, nausea, etc., especially when the animation is viewed multiple times in succession, as when travelling through several systems.

And yes, the camera rotation is one very annoying component of this for a lot of people, as is the shift to first-person perspective, something which does not exist anywhere else in this game.

Another patch and still no "fix".Ugh

The only fix is a persisting on/off button for the gate jump visuals and autoscan visuals. FFS get it done soon.

CCP, there are off buttons for ship explosions, missile effects, turret effects, etc. "Immersion" does not seem to be harmed by those. So, [u]please[/u] give us a persisting off button for the jump gate and autoscan visuals.

Just reinstalled the game. WTF were they thinking with this animation? Whipping the camera around and shooting you through a tube of flashing lights. Only CCP could come up with something so dumb and then defend it.

I don't know if only CCP could do this, but it is indeed strange that despite their 10+ years of experience in gaming development, they still success to make this kind of mistakes...

This jump animation is good. It is far from perfect as there are still many problems to solve (especially the tunnel light issue), but it would be a great addition ONLY IF Eve was a game who DON'T require to jump so often... The frequency of the jump process should have make CCP cancel this addition or they should have make it optional to compensate, but it seems they don't have any common sense. I wonder if they really play at Eve.

Removing obsolete signature... You just lost time to read that =)

It's still giving me headaches.

So how would me being able to turn it off in my local client reduce your enjoyment of it?

CCP, can we turn off Kirren D'marr please. Head ache inducement appears to be valid grounds (according to him).

Can barely notice it myself now. Seems like it's always been this way.

And ships that sail the sea
