EVE Information Portal

WOW isn't twitch based. you click on target and you spam your macros. WOW is gear grind people haven't moved to eve because it is impractical to ever use the best "gear" on your ships (best "gear" would be officer mods for everything) as you lose it when you die.


To play a twitch based game I would want to have have my response time to the server be the limiting factor not a server tick of one second. Any real movement will feel unresponsive to the hardcore twitch fan base and wouldn't attract them. How are those competitive mmo's player going to like 10% tidi where the server is moving so slow. It will be like trying to play counter strike source on a 26k modem.

i was telling yulia that the very thing they said did not exist in WOW does.
to be blunt the only skill based twitch games i have ever seen are the online combat flight simulators.
even the first person shooters are knowledge based on where to hide on the map and where others may be.
something you did forget about WoW is the fact it is a Rock, Paper and Scissors style game.
each main class is designed to dominate another class in pvp with hybrids being wild cards depending on build.

why stop at keyboard control ..... joystick is MUST !......has been since I started playing in 03 ....but why stop at that implement the bloody occulus .. like yesterday ..we've been banging on about this for ages

stop trying to con the player base over valkrye by saying that its going to be separate from eve ...if you want to implement total immersion then intergrate the bloody occulus into eve for the full experience ...else a lot of the player base will end up going over to elite !


listen to the sodding playerbase for once !

This alone made me re-sub.

I suspect this will fit nicely into the existing motion model. I look forward to adding this to the chapter.

TL;DR - I want body-fixed roll/pitch/yaw controls and a follow camera

Personally, I'd prefer roll/pitch/yaw control (at least as an option) instead of having left/right automatically roll and pitch the ship for me. It feels like training wheels, and it's confusing when I give a second input and my ship reacts based on a reference axis instead of its own orientation. This will be even more of an annoyance if joysticks are supported at some point. (I assume roll/pitch/yaw gets confusing at high angles because of control limits to prevent gimbal lock, but for me at least I think I'd still prefer it as an option. I don't know how this was solved for Valkyrie, and I'm sure implementing that solution for EVE wouldn't be easy, but it should at least be considered as a long term goal if manual flight controls are here to stay.)

An optional camera follow/lock mode could also be useful in some cases. (This one should be easy, yes? - at least the follow mode should be.)

Lastly, no good feedback post would be complete without asking for something completely abstract and difficult to program (and in keeping with that futuristic UI goal, any decent HUD allows a pilot to fly blind). Therefore, I want a trackball that orients itself relative to my selected target and displays a distance to that target. That way, I could use the trackball and manual piloting to control my movements relative to the target without actually having to look at either of us in space.

Pleeeeeaaase CCP ? (This is what happens when you give a mouse a cookie .)

WHY I CANNOT REBIND MY KEYS? when I assign the key the only option I get is cancel......

Key binding is bugged , only option when pressing the wanted key is cancel.....

Having the same issue here, can't bind my keys and screen does record something but I can only cancel the binding after pressing a key :(

This one here :)
