EVE General Discussion

even though OT, very good point

A few thoughts:

1) The camera rush into and out of the jump tunnel are jarring. The tunnel moves at one speed, but getting in and out of it, the camera zooms much faster. My guess is this is a source of a lot of the motion sickness.

2) Remove, or at least tone down, the flashes in the cloud of the tunnel. Some people who struggle with epilepsy are complaining about the new effects, and my understanding of the issue there is that it's normally associated with flashing lights.

3) What annoys me is the camera swing from the ship into the gate. As I've said before, it's the ONLY time Eve takes away camera control.

The new gate jump animation is great, moving system feels great.

We win the war against loading bars :)

Nullsec dwellers don´t count. :P

My opinion is the best solution is to have an option to just render a black square that takes up the 3D view during jumping. The issue is if you do something to "remove it" or otherwise make it a setting to reduce its impact on CPU or GPU then FCs will call for it to be disabled in fleet fights. And thus many people will just keep it off. Making the work done on it moot for a good chunk of EVE. This is just my opinion tho.

Thanks so much CCP Sisyphus. That's really great news. Much love.

Only a couple of things to add to what's already been said about camera pan, repetitiveness, loss of player control, jarring starts and stops, etc.

1. Please keep in mind that gate jumps in null- and low-sec can often be moments of high tension, particularly when flying fragile ships. Sometimes we are going to be intensely focused on our tactics before the jump and then on nearby hostiles, local composition, d-scan, and the layout of warp bubbles afterward. I'd ask please that the jump sequence not make things even more difficult for scouts. They already have a hard job.

2. It might be a good idea to test the sequence both on high-end and low-end machines. It's pretty unfair that someone should worry about losing a cloaky hauler or BR to nullsec rats because their hard drive takes a bit longer to load the sequence. As well, a large difference also probably means that gate-camp interceptors played on fast hard drives will have a substantial unfair advantage.

In any case, thanks again. It's awesome to have some dialogue on this. I'm sure it will take time to really iron out. But it's very cool that you're trying.

why should people turn away its couseing problems for alot of people and the animation where was cool for 2 or 3 jumps is plain boreing after jump 4

1 Losing control of your OWN camera. Dont ever do that again.
2 Making an animation, that looks like someone flushing a big toilet is ugly.
3 EVERY other animations are optional - you have provided switches for practially every other animation in the game, be it turrets, effects, camera shake, drone models... you name it. This one isnt.


Solve it - im not jumping before it's done - and staying in 1 system is kind of booring.. so i havent really logged for 3 days....

It would probably even be sufficient if the animation was slower, softer for the eye and more like the old warp tunnel effect.

A option to deactivate it, would be highly welcome, since if you move multiple chars for 30 minutes or more, seeing the animation as often as every 90s I get a headache currently and doing it for a hour or so is uncomfortable at best.

Thanks for the post.

I really don't understand why you'd create it in such a way that it can't be switched off... It makes absolutely no sense.

I said it before, its a cool animation, I like it.

But after 200... 300 jumps by now (yes, some of us do roams that can easily reach 30-50 jumps a day), it honestly makes me cringe at the thought of making another single jump. What I now do is literally turn away from the screen to a book I'm reading, and 'come back' to Eve a few seconds later. I hopelessly miss the loading bar by now. The jump sequence, as some people already wrote here by now, has become a kind of ridiculous torture.
