Hello,

the walking on station steering is not fun at all -

- Its too complicate and not smooth in no way.

- Character turning is too slow, MOUSELOOK is unevitable here to make out of WIS a great experience

I know that eve is not a jump&run game but it also needs a

RUN and JUMP option too:

Trying to use stairways is a thing of lucky chance

Just to make moving on the station more quick and comfortable -

and I really think this complicate and user-hating look&feel of the steering is one of the reasons why player do not like it at all ( and so do I)


for example without mouslook you cannot watch small cola-cans on the shelves pretty good - Its far too unexactly to experience the environemental fast enough and also


This actual steering is like limping (instead of walking) with a piece of wood on a chain on your foot. Give it more movement variability that leads to a better overall experience

Has anyone noticed how switching directions mid-step makes the animation jump? It looks really weird. The animation isn't as smooth as it was in Incarna.

Maybe it's a glitch?

I agree, the controls need to be much more fluid.


Instead of a WALK/RUN, it should be a WALK/JOG/SPRINT option. Sprinting can only be for a short period of time, and requires a cooldown before sprinting. I like how this is done in Skyrim. I don't want everyone running around everywhere though, so a simple WALK should be the norm, and pressing SHIFT allows you to jog. Not everyone will be jogging around unless they're in a hurry - which even here in my office I see people jogging sometimes to get to a meeting on time.

The devs should test with analogue controls. Get an Xbox360 controller or the Logitech G35 and use it to walk around. There should be a simple min/max walk speed which pressing a key is max, and analogue controls would then give us more control to vary the speed of the walk.

MORE CONTROL:

When walking up to the couch, it should automatically sit if you continue to push against the couch. Getting up from the couch should be just as easy (simply move your character forward).

Selection animation should pop a little more. Right now it looks slow.

There are quite a few little tweaks that shouldn't be difficult to nail down, I hope they do before WIS becomes a bigger part of EVE
