This seriously use to bug me, now I just don't use star gates anymore and when I absolutely have to use them, I play the game with the map up. But legit I pretty much do not use gates anymore at all since even though they toned the effect down, it still makes me a bit sic to my stomach. Jump drives ftw.

Telling people to harden up over a difficult mechanic or objective in game is one thing.

Telling people to harden up over a medical problem is beyond insensitive; it's downright rude and insulting, and is fully deserving of our contempt. In this case, that attitude is just plailn disgusting.

Especially considering that CCP devs previously acknowledged that this was a problem, and promised it would be addressed. Now they are just hiding behind the "harden up" mantra to avoid having to explain to us how they couldn't (or wouldn't) deliver on the promised improvements.

Call us whiners if you will, I have no intention of letting CCP off the hook for lying and treating paying customers like crap.

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_

Sadly, unless you're the head of a major alliance and can have your minons spam the forums and blow up statues in Jita, you're unlikely to matter to them.

After all, that door in CQ is still closed because of those whiners. (ZOMG! RMT! P2W! Modern MMOs are upon us! *sigh* I wish those guys would HTFU).

Edit:

I can't find the so called response by the dev on twitter. So, either the twitter message was pulled or it's a player made up fabrication.

Without any other "evidence" I "pull" my previous post. You can still read it on eve-search though.

Posting in long thread, please add options.


Also is there way to stop the camera panning everytime you click on something? and also removing the crosshares what happened to that?

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


I don't get motion sickness, but I dislike anyways the camera forcibly turning away from whatever I was looking for. "Hey, I was looking at this cool shiny reflection on a cranny of the stargate!"
Especially since once the tunnel animation begins, I can freely move my vision around. So by all means keep the tunnel, but let us turn off the damn camera turning!

Need more well-formatted linking.

Anybody upset over the new tracking camera bug? Every friggin gate or undock it turns back on and won't stay off. It's the same ******* deal, losing control of your direction of vision. So this has me thinking even if they put in an on/off button (which apparently is doable for the tracking camera) THEY WILL HAVE US STILL GO THROUGH THE FORCED CAMERA PAN.

FIX THIS **** CCPX

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.

Cause it's hard to put an if statement and a variable in your code and setup a switch in options.

I still hate the transition and the tunnel.

All I do now is either go AFK for high-sec moves or focus on the dscan window and spam scan.

Neither is ideal but spamming scan at least passes the time Roll

It still sucks guys. Just put a switch in so we get a blank background but still have the UI visible. Its not rocket science.

Sadly we are talking about the same people who have over the last 10 years been putting their fingers in their ears
eyes staring up at the ceiling and going "lalalalalalal" when people complain about other graphic issues like fonts
being to small, colors making text even more hard to read etc(although they did finally get rid of those gas clouds in
cosmos sites, but that was because they caused performance issues, not because they made people reach for
their sunglasses ...)

So i can't say that i am holding my breath on this one, CCP has a history of being extremely reluctant to change
anything graphical no matter how impractical/poor it is

Tomba, nice post. This was the reason for my question, as the jump tunnel should have a similar effect as the warp tunnel - give you a sense of rapid movement through the space between systems.
You should be able to chat etc. while in jump. Scanning makes no sense as there is nothing to scan there, but that said the basic idea should be similar.

So all those things everyone has been saying "this is why we are not complaining about warp", those are the things we need to look at fixing ;)


You can skip the cursive part. Also, I fixed your typo!

I'm sure it's been posted before, so I say that for me, too, it is the loss of control of the camera. You're being taken on a ride that can feel like being spun in an office chair continuously (e.g. when flying missions, turning to every NPC you select and target, or to every asteroid when mining). The jump camera is not as bad for me as the "tracking camera" BY FAR though.

When I started playing again in Odyssey, I immediately ran and sat down in a corner of my bedroom, hugging my Hannah Montana pillow tightly, and crying quietly. I sat there and cried, looking out of my window on the other side of the room. I sat there until nightfall, the moon rose, the stars shined... it was then when I called upon my fellow Capsuleers of old, high up in the skies, if I can turn that feature off.

They warped to me in deadspace, slowly approached me and bumped me out of the shadows and into the light. My ship slowly turned around, facing the sun, and through the internal cameras I saw the light flood the interior. Tears of joy ran down my cheeks, it was so emotional. Then they started flying maneuvers with activated MWD and kilometres long engine trails, like synchronus swimmers. Or at least I think that's what happened. "I was there." It was beautiful. They also told me to take less of whatever they thought I was taking.

Worry not, I'm fine... I got myself a sweetened cup of coffee and continued playing.

I admit though, the star gate camera and warp tunnel is a pretty (but effectively useless) feature. Though the EVE players of old, at least the ones that I know from 2005 and earlier, never put so much value on shiny bling blings anyway. Hell, I'd reckon some still don't have audio enabled to this day. A shame really... for the music *hums below the asteroids*.
