Upcoming Feature and Change Feedback Center

These new changes to the camera are clunky at best, the old tracking camera worked better and was less frustrating. its an extra step in an already complex system to track something, c-click-scan is too cumbersome to be useful. We play this game for enjoyment, not work. Having your ship drift out of view when tracking should also be on a toggle in settings, i dont like losing sight of my very expensive ship for many reasons, Keep the feature by all means, but dont remove the old tracking camera, give us the choice to decide what works best for us. in the end make the game more adaptable tot he end user on a singular level, not pigeon hole people into a set style of play.

Without reading the rest of the comments: The Tactical Overlay turns off whenever I jump into a new system, which is extremely annoying. I turned off the new camera for this reason alone.

I think I'd like to know how long we get to keep the option of keeping the old, working camera? Will it eventually be baked in and just be a fourth, no-nonsense camera mode, or will it eventually be dropped and its functionality lost?

If you start to warp while your looking at somthing your camera goes mental constantly reseting and trying to jump back to what you were looking at. which makes the warp animation go all over the place.

if you change camera mode it fixes it back but it was weird the first time it happend.

CCP please allow the FOV you have set with the ALT+right click feature remain throughout jumps. It is such an immersive feature and makes the game really beautiful, it is annoying to have to reset your preferred FOV after every single jump *ugh*

The only other gripes i have about the new camera are the fact that tactical camera also disappears after jumping, and there is no option to automatically track objects in space that you click on. It is annoying to have to C+click instead of just clicking.

If the new camera did all of the above it would be my favorite addition to the game ever. I really hope those things are possible

Please add:
* Tactical overlay does not remember on/off state between camera mode switches or docking/undocking. (again)


...and the nifty little "bounce" effect when zooming in first-person camera might seem cool, but it is disorienting and would be considered a flaw if it were a real technology. Please to be removing this.

Otherwise the camera stuff seems to be working well. (ignoring the other known issues)

Hate to break it to those developing the new camera.

Whoever designed the parameters for rotation damping, zoom damping and field of view were just a lot smarter than the guys who are currently working on it.

You get the impression that the people who designed the original camera not only cared about the gameplay itself, but they also played the game.

Playability is quite obviously not the priority with the new camera.

I think that the dynamic FOV (or some other facet of the new camera system) has been causing me motion sickness. I'm not 100%, but I've definitely been feeling nauseated playing since the update (and no, it's not about the SP injectors :P)

Here are some pissed off, rude comments:

I really don't like how indirect the camera is now. I appreciate that smoothing its movement has caused this, but I intensely dislike it. If I want to move the camera, I want to look at something right now, not in a few hundred milliseconds once the movement has caught up.

It's impossible to dscan on 5° while in warp, thanks for ruining that.

The tracking camera just flat-out does not work any more, despite having an icon flash AND the selected item box title indicate that it is enabled. This makes tracking ships warping off impossible. Also - needing to right-click and select from the menu to track a ship is terrible, I thought we were moving away from that?

I suspect that gatecamp decloaks are now impossible - will have to test it using the FPV cam.

Lastly, I have to remember to disable this feature on every account I have now, preferably before I actually start to pvp anyone. Thanks for that too.

Apart from all that, I guess maybe the marquee select might be useful one day, but I honestly don't know what you were thinking when developing this new camera. In future please can you include more than just highsec carebears on your feature design team. I bet this new camera is just awesome for lv4 mission krabbing.

While I really like what the new camera has, it has one major issue. No tracking camera. CCPlease take a look at making the tracking camera part of the new camera.
