New transitions look wonderful. No complaints here. Good work!

yk

So the new jumping effects are really awesome, im not exactly sure why people are getting motion sickness and if there are people getting motion sick from it then i feel sorry if they drive because they must throw up everytime they stop or pull out of a red light.

The overall effect is fine the way it is, the camera swivel at the end of the effect is a bit faster then the beginning which may make some people a little dizzy; however, that can be solved two ways. A) slow down the swiveling effect by half. B) make the camera come out of the tunnel on the gate and then slowly pan back to your ship away from the tracking of the gate. I think these changes might make it a bit more tolerable.

Personally I like the animation. It just needs a little tweeking. I love things that add to the immersion and progress bars are not immersive.

If it can be shorter it should be.
Maybe randomize it a bit somehow to make it more interesting? (Dunno how hard or easy that is to do)
The camera focus thingy after the jump is a lil annoying and should probably be removed. I want to look at where I am going, not where I came from. 8-)

My biggest issue is that all of the windows dissappear. It is shocking (for lack of a better word) to have all your windows leave the screen. The good news is that we can continue to type and not a single letter is dropped during the transition.

Lastly, I submitted a bug report for the Fitting window picture that stays on top of the transition animation.

Thank you for listening to your community!

Its not that bad an idea, keeping in mind that you dont come out of warp EXACTLY where you should anyway, there is always a few hundred meters differential for each person soo that shouldnt make it to congested in one single spot.



Actually...I love the initial camera panning, it feels more smooth and connect and to be honest that was what the whole jump animation was to be fore anyway, a smooth transition. It almost is seemless now that you pan, streak through and your done; However, when you come out of the hyperspace tunnel, thats where I think we could do away with the swivel and just have the camera drop out face the same direction. You can actually do this now, but it requires you to hold down your right click button and just as you exit the tunnel, move your mouse a little to disrupt the tracking camera.

Essentially leave everything else where it is, but remove the gate tracking cam upon entering the new system. I think that will fix a LOT of issues with the extreme motion. I have noticed that most of the abrupt motion is on the ending of the animation and not the beginning.

I did like the UI disappearing, I think it makes it look and feel more real, you obviously will not be having your UI screen up when you are being de-materialized and sent through a tunnel and re-materialized, BUT this is just a game so who cares what makes sense

What I am hearing, and my take on this is, the jump effects are nice but why do you have to tumble our views around on landing? On landing, if I want to turn and face the gate I came in from, that should be up to me... I "should" land in J-cloak facing generally away from the gate I came from... PLEASE stop the maddening Ship Spin Cycle thing on landing!

And, TBH, I am very not enamored of the Caldari (?) gate that you spin round to the back of then get hammered THROUGH a glass/metal cover at the ass end of the damn thing... the open-ended gates are far preferable visually... But this all goes back to my deep seated hatred of warping THROUGH stations and moons and effin planets... which is just downright stoopid... =\

Huh, so when my wife played Decent with me and got motion sick and threw up, she was lying?

Fat damn lot YOU (and your supposed Dr) know... Of ALL the posts here you are like mebbe one of 3 who like it just the way it is. Glad you do, the vast majority of us DON'T. And that is what this forum is for, problems and resolutions... you know, feedback.

The camera zoom & pan should be optional, the hub fade out should be optional.

Read it with m now... "On System ENTRY" not on EXIT you baft ditch... =\

This was from a medical professional in another thread who claimed this. And I agree, if your throwing up then I would guess it is more the result of an underlying medical condition. You should get your wife checked out. Now stop being such a wet blanket and HTFU.

Shesh, its like listening to a whinging and barely coherent old codger reading your posts above.

The thing is, a small vocal minority dislike it and come to complain viciously about it on this thread, but the vast majority like me and yourself will love it, but most of them don't come on the forums to congratulate CCP.

Perhaps tweak the stargate exit camera swivel, but that is more for practical reasons and you dont want to have to keep constantly zooming your camera out every time you jump through a gate.

Just did some side by side testing, same char, same ship, same gate, on TQ and SiSi.

Jump time: essentially the same, overall.

But instead of hitting Jump, seeing "JUMPING" at bottom of the screen as the gate fires (a few seconds) and then seeing a brief black screen, a too brief to read calibration message, and being in the next system, what we get is....

Hit Jump, camera swings around wildly to line up with the gate, gate fire, you're in a tunnel, the graphics lag and stutter, and then you arrive, but oh wait, more unnecessary camera motion as you land in system.

Really, this is first time I've gotten that motion sickness feeling in 15 years of gaming.... and I'm not the only one. Check the other threads here.

Hard to imagine anything more immersion breaking that taking a 5 minute break to go puke in a toilet.

Need an option to turn parts of this or all of this off.

Thank you.

Oh, lag and stutter? Probably because of my crap graphics card, right? This sad ol' GTX 660 Ti is all I could afford. Sorry.
