EVE General Discussion

Replace it with the Wilhelm Scream or this.

Suggestion: why not have an array of sounds for different ship classes and owners, and start a player competition to provide them? We'll do the work, EVE gets more depth and you can have a good laugh at the troll entries.

Doble kill, tripple kill, ultra kill, raaaaaampaaaage!!!

so we have to say thank you?

for not let us (and you) try it on sisi and gave our comments
for not let us check or uncheck more soundoptions
for a soundmenu who is still mostly impossible to switch this out you dont want and switch on you want
(hm battlemusic only in npc battle maybe?


and PLS also take the new kiddy wow game like kill animation also out and while you do this double the speed of the old!

thank you

NO NO NO NO....

All we need is a GONG option in the Advanced audio settings so people can tern it down independley of the other stuff.

As much as I appreciate the "gong going gone", that is a valid statement.

You have the power at your fingertips to change the system to be more than "either / or". You might even grab different sound effects for the player to CHOOSE from, other than "none". That single 12'o'clock bell that strikes high noon when a wild-west shootout happens and John Wayne wins again? Ding of death, go for it. The gong that is played when a player gets reprocessed? Go for it. Digital distortion effect that fades out, signalizing how the ship discharged on your sensors into bits and pieces? Go for it.

Do you see the pattern? The pattern is that we crave for OPTIONS.
We crave for ADDITIONAL possibilities, not removal and replacement.

Same with the tab key. If you can remove the gong within a day's worth of downtime, you have to do the same with the tab key as well. Bring it back as customizeable key bind, instead of your bludgeoning of previous options.

Do more options require more work? Yes they do.
Are more options making more people happy because they can choose what their preference will be? Yes they do.
Is there development time available for those? I'm inclined to say "yes there is" without even knowing, because considering all the time you wasted to bring half-hearted attempts of content which nobody ever desired or needed, then there is PLENTY of time freed up.

Oh and speaking of options; you STILL did not bring contrast-inverted colour schemes to Eve, even though you completely changed the skin-styles. We still don't have black text on light background. And we still don't have a more prominent shadow on text that sits directly on the skybox, which then becomes hard to read with increased lighting.

This.

The animation X thing is taking way to long to do it's thing. Suggesting either speed it up so it takes just as long as the old target demolished animation and not a single microsecond longer, or a return to the old target splatted graphics. It's out of sync, gets more off kilter as the rat nest cleaning goes on, and is causing me some problems with clicking empty space instead of the next target I wanna whomp. My adopted drones are getting confused on targets dead but still have their name in the way.

However....

Thank you in advance, for the removal of that damned gong tone. It doesn't have (to me) a single reference to any sci-fi, space, future, or dystopian theme I can think of. Of all things it reminded me of some sound effect from the older entries of the Castlevania franchise. It didn't help the volume on it was defaulted to way too loud. Very immersion breaking, pleased it's going away.

They'll just tell you to play the recording on you PC or browser every time you want to hear it, like they did with the jukebox.

No, we do not have to thank him, but we can appreciate that wiser heads have prevailed, and thank him for making it happen.
Thank you!

We are prone to criticise when things go wrong, the least we can do is praise when things get made right.

Amarr Clerics approve.
Do not ask for whom the Bell tolls...
