+1 And the worst thing is some new players will be driven away by vomit torrents before they manage to find the switch



It gets much better if you set inertion to stiff or close to it

On February 9 was first introduced a new "awesome" camera
Five months have passed and we still do not have Custom Tracking Position
CCP and Psycho Sisters when we see this feature again? When?
I often remind you about CTP because my subscription will expire soon.
I only hope that this feature will return earlier than my subscription runs out.
86 days remaining until the end.

Well it seems clear that most of us didn't want to bulk turn on or off all of these camera features.

I myself liked most of the new features and want to use them. But there are a couple I could really do without. Like the ship changing animation. It's very cool to see when docking, but not each time I change a ship. Though I imagine there are those who like it.

I hope that this is only a temporary fix and they will provide individual toggles for each of these features.

Eve is already considered one of the most complex games on the market. Yet we all play it. I don't think we'll mind having an options screen that has dozens / hundreds of different user-settable options. If you're afraid that turns off new players, then create a paired-down simplified options screen, and then when new players are more comfortable they can enable the detailed options screen.

1) General first impressions of the log in screen?
Aww cool, something new.

2) Difficulty of each site?
Didn't run them all, so far easy AF. Most of the time shield buffor on my armor tanked pvp ship is enough.

3) Rewards?
Anemic.

4) Is this event a good conflict driver; read good for PvP in low, null, wh/competition in highsec?
Seeing my corp losses, looks like good conflict driver.

5) Duration to complete a site too long or short?
Too short. I prefer less sites with bigger rewards, running something 500 times and get 2m isk for a site is meh.

6) Overall newness or uniqueness to this event? Should it continue this way or try to be different each event?
Formula not ground shaking, feels ok.

7) Other comments; i.e. the good, the bad, the ugly, etc.
Reward/ time investment ratio is terrible. I understand it can't be better than wormhole farming with capitals, but atm afk activities are 10x more rewarding... better to mine veldspar and just buy the event skin than chase sites for weeks.

Downloaded the patch, but no patch notes for it.
What you broke this time?

I enjoy the dynamic camera option in space. I dislike the docking animation every time I change a ship. The two are not remotely related to one another, so a single toggle for both doesn't make sense. Please separate the two and add a second checkbox for docking animations. I promise it won't be too complex for us to figure out.

The prerequisite change was a good move. It makes things a lot less awkward and painful.

I'm curious whether the original logic behind lumping role bonuses together in a pile is still valid? It seems like there is a lot of incentive for skill level V being wasted here.

The "new" camera will never be as good for the average player as the old one was, they were designed with totally different uses in mind.
Old camera had been around and refined for years, without all the added gumph of "cinematic extras" for the minority to use built into it.

Someone at CCP realized, players were providing them with all this free advertising via the hundreds of hours of video uploaded every week. It was only natural (for Devs at least) to redesign a key component of the game to 1, suit the minority of video makers 2, at the expense of those who just want a decent camera to play the game with 3, (and worst reason) to make Eve look better than it really is.

This new all in one toggle - most amazing way to gather skewed statistics I've seen in a while.
If you like the extras (or at least some of them) attached to the new toggle, you put up with the horrible docking undocking animations. For every person who "doesn't" uncheck that toggle, Devs get to say - Look, this many players "like" the new animations so no need for a separate toggle.

Individual toggles would be Devs admitting - We got it wrong - That ain't gonna happen.
Making a "pretty" game is far more important to Devs than making a game that is playable.

Warp effects, jump animations, shiny shite in space, etc are all things that should have options for ON/OFF
Sound in Eve is pretty good (big congrats to the team maintaining it), you can adjust or just turn off pretty much anything, what a shame the visual team isn't as proficient. Or at least as open minded, not everyone enjoys watching swirly grey lines every time they hit warp or jump through a gate.

Too bad the Dev responsible for all of that no longer works at CCP.
