Absolutely love the graphical representation of missed hits. Adds quite a bit of visual depth to the game and allows for less obsessive viewing of the log.

Nice touch guys. Best expansion in years.

Agreed...saw this yesterday in testing my new Oracle against a corpies Megathron. Seeing his shots miss was amazingly cool...I really hope CCP doesn't have too hard of a time with the code to get it working so we see it in real time from other players as well. Right now if you watch the fire from someone else firing at someone else it doesn't work. I know CCP can get it to work though. I will be patient.

Bounties for all! https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2279821#post2279821

It looks like ****, the shots miss by 10 miles (lol wut) and ya you can't see it on anyone else. O ya and they still look like crap.

More garbage put out by CCP really fast just to save face and money.

I just love your optimistic attitude.

I bet that won't happen as this would mean, that way more info has to be transmitted to each player. Right now it's probably just the information "Player C shoots Player D". For the shots to miss too it would have to be "Player C shoots Player D and misses/hits". And in a fleet fight with 300 people with probably many ungrouped guns thats ALOT of additional info that needs to be sent if you add it up. And it's not like we can afford additional lag right? Blink

I agree with the OP though. I LOVE this new effect, and it adds alot to the immersion. GJ CCP

The only thing I don't like is the fact that when they miss, it looks like they miss IN FRONT of your ship by like 50 kilometers.

Missing should be shown at the back of your ship, and the tracers should be way closer to your ship.

Unless off course your motion prediction module makes a mistake in calculation the lead it should take for your shot and shoots to far. Then it should miss in front.

Please make a distinction in these two things, because I love immersion. This visual data is important to me.

I think he gets picked on in real life for a multitude of physical and mental reasons. He should not have to come here and get picked on too! Be nice to him!

I'm all for the cool miss effects. They make PVE far more shiny.

Also, I am for the effect being vivisble not only when we are fired upon, but also when others fight. I wanna see the fireshow!
