For the love of Jamyl,


Please get rid of that annoying 'BOIIIINNG' sound when a locked target is destroyed...

And while your at it, get rid of that cheesy 80's style 'target destroyed' graphic!!

I somewhat like the 'target destroyed' animation, although I do agree that the noise needs to be changed to something more realistic, if not removed.

Don't explain your philosophy. Embody it.

An excerpt from the alliance logo submission blog concerning visual design for in-game use. CCP, I suggest you take a word out of your own book;


Design & Theme:

Alliance logos should be designed so that they look and feel like they belong within the futuristic, dark and dystopian EVE universe.


What you have done for the target destroyed animation, does NOT fit into these guidelines. They are more suited to... I can't even describe.. but NOT Eve Online.

The animation is too flat and solid.. it should be more fluid, transparent and tech-y. Get your design guys to look into the work of G-MUNK ;)

as far as the sound is concerned... the sound of a spaceship exploding worked fine for me!

Yeah, it's fun the first time you hear it. But it gets really annoying after the first five times....

Kermit might actually be an improvement.

Or better yet: Relegate this to MINING ONLY cause it'd be actually really usefull when a 'roid is depleted.

Plz tell me there is a way to turn it off like with the previous 'improvements', don't try to fix stuff that isn't broken.
I'd rather recommend some urgent bugfixing instead!

First off, the sound is a funeral bell.
IE "For whom the bell tolls."

Having said that, I totally agree that it does NOT belong in Eve.

You should have seen it two weeks ago on the test server.
Not only did it have the funeral bell, but it also put a skull over the target, instead of the current X.

Personally, I think they should find a sound a visual aid that suit Eve better.

Seriously CCP, was there a NEED to implement this thing? It's annoying, dull, and causes lag.

Improvement: at least make it possible for people to disable it.

Cant even hear the ship exploding anymore, which was a better sound and a better animation imo.
Get it on

Always something isn't it? It's too smooth, people say "WHY CCP WASTE THEIR TIME MAKING DIZ??".
If it looks 80s (which I quite like, by the way), then it's "CCP DIZ IS NOT FINISHED!!"

Geez.

Agreed on "Bong" though. I laugh my ass off every time I hear it (Bong means "I won EvE" haha) but maybe, I don't know ... the sounds of a bullet riccochet or something would be more appropriate.

Could also be a sample straight out of Looney Tunes for all I care. Why so serious?

It would be better if the icons exploded like the ships do in space...

Then, they could actually make ship explosions look like an actual ship

Yes, and we do rightfully so. CCP ought to do another Crucible before they should work on anything else. Crucible was the single most important, single most popular, single most well-received expansion of the last 4 years. And there are still thousands of quirks, bugs, glitches and possible improvements left to make the game a better place (not even including the broken POS system) before CCP even needs to think about introducing any new content or mechanics.

In order to turn that sound of (and all other sounds like the dragged item hovering sound, probe scanning sound, one time cargohold interaction sound (like what is this rubbish jingle for in the first place?)), you need to turn "UI interaction" in the Audio settings to 0.

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.
