EVE General Discussion

The ppl who care just haven't noticed or heard yet. Just like they didn't notice when it was first added. Just like they brushed it off when it turned on by default and they disabled it. Some ppl are still in denial that the old camera will ever be removed and undoubtedly when it happens they'll be shocked and complain that they were never warned. Just wait until June then check forums again.

Just wait until offgrid links disappear and the screaming starts from all the ppl that were in denial that it would ever happen or that claim they had no warning. I've got buckets for those tears just lined up and waiting.

All that said the new camera is really just fine with all the improvements they've made to it so long as you set the options the way you like. Though I'd be curious just what percentage of ppl change the settings to mimic the old camera as much as possible. If it's really high it makes you wonder why the new "features" were added to begin with and why CCP didn't just do their best to mimic the old camera right out of the box. They supposedly want to reduce options and menu clutter yet add things that ppl demand options to essentially disable.

yeah, cos they unfucked it, that said wait till they actually remove it.

i guarantee you a horde of wailing and gnashing of teeth because it was taken away without warning and with no discussion.
just you wait , start stockpiling themed giffs for it now if you are clever .

Well, there goes the tracking camera and right-click panning. Gonna miss the classic system.

Not really hating on CCP for it though; the did give us more time, I just wish they weren't so stubborn about pushing features that are replacements rather than alternatives.

Anyways, thanks for the heads-up.

tracking works just fine with the new camera , believe me i would be jumping up and down screaming about it still if it didn't.

the right click pan is going though.

it isnt , regardless there will be uproar , just wait.

Maybe someone should start a pre-event thread so we're ahead of the game when the game starts...huh?

Do they plan on adding a way to re-position the new camera's tracking mode so that it doesn't hide the object being focused on behind my ship?

I know it seems like a weird thing, but the ONLY real issues I have with the new camera so far is the aforementioned lack of control on the tracking camera and no right-click panning. Well, that and the fact that, on the one hand, zooming in and out is awkwardly sluggish close in yet, on the other hand, overly exaggerated only a little ways further out: Why does everything have a falloff mechanic now, CCP? These are admittedly mere pet peeves of mine and hardly game breaking. It just the matter of that I actually use those systems quite a bit and have gotten use to them being there, so not having them work that way is rather alien.

Even if they didn't fix or improve any of these "issues", I'd still be fine using the new camera, it would just take a while for me to get use to those oddities is all. Though, agreed, most complaints after the fact will likely be largely people ranting on the reasoning that there's no choice in the matter now. Eve is very big on obtaining a sort of muscle memory with things, so when something like changes that require someone to re-familiarize with something, it tends to feel like a lot of personal hard work just got flushed.

On the other hand, though, no one should ever expect Eve to remain alive if things don't get altered and constantly changed, so it is inevitable that that familiarity will need to be constantly renewed, hence all the "tough love" comments encouraging people to adapt and overcome rather than simply complain and expect selfless demands for game design to go a certain desired way. It's a necessary evil, just like ships and other assets need to die to keep the market going. Somewhere, someone is having a bad day for it, but that keeps the economy in Eve rolling.

Btw, sorry for the wall...I tend to be chatty at times.

Slider should be renamed "frozen lard <-----> warm butter"
