The tunnel i don't really mind, but the forced camera angle is beyond annoying.

I am still adversely affected by the animation.

It would be convenient if I did not have to invoke the map screen when jumping.

Old buddy just got back to the game for a year or so.
This is one of his first questions after having asked for what new skills there are and he goes shopping.

[16:58:03] XXX > where do i shutoff the jumpgate effect again?
[17:03:00] XXX> wait....there IS a way, no? >_<

So yeah... first new impression of eve after a year: How do I turn that **** off.

This thread is now a monument to things CCP doesn't care about.

I'm now paying for my remaining two accounts one month at a time. Granted that is more expensive per month. But, it will make what sadly looks like a soon inevitable decision to leave EVE less costly. Soz Sad

CCP, there are off buttons for ship explosions, missile effects, turret effects, etc. "Immersion" does not seem to be harmed by those. So, [u]please[/u] give us a persisting off button for the jump gate and autoscan visuals.

Good luck when reloading a busy grid and the map--->grid-load fails on the other side of the gate forcing a client quit. If you're pointed or bubbled..... lol !

Welp, Ranger1 - click, hide posts.

I suggest you do the same with mine. Because I'll keep posting about my discomfort from (and my dislike for) these new graphics.Cool

at least until I unsub if they don't fix them by September


It's been about 6 month since you were suppose to unsub if it was not fixed. Guess it does not bother you all that much.

I cant afford a new computer due to economic reasons. Paying for EVE is hard as it is right now.

With my graphics messed up (laptop), the best patch in years was the one that solved a few glitches in the directX 9 stuff. Made my day. Seriously.

Every jump I make, my systems freezes up until this jump animation finishes. The only thing preventing me from dying all over the place is EVE being a bit "hardwired" into my brain.

CCP already explained its not possible to remove this effect, so I adapted. Doesnt mean I have to like it.

Glad to know my resolve or lack of it concerns you.P

I've played this game since 2006. Thus it is hard to give up. And I post here because I care not just about my stomach's repose, but also the health of the game.

I believe in that post which you reference, and took the time to search, I was speaking to the two subs that were coming due at that time. Regardless, I did unsub two accounts that came up for renewal in September. I have two remaining that came up for renewal in January (and always did, yearly subs).

So, I've changed the way I play. I tend to stay in just a few systems and avoid gate jumps when I can. Also, my remaining two subs are on short term plans.

CCP lost two $130 per year accounts from me over this ($260). They are gaining back $4 per month as I put the remaining two accounts on one month renewals until I decide whether to just leave the stupidity. But it will take many months for CCP to gain back my money. I know, big deal. But it appears I'm not the only one reducing or eliminating subs over this issue.

It makes so much sense to allow people to turn off turret effects, missile effects, explosions, drone models, etc, but to deny the ability to turn off the autoscan and gate jump visuals.Ugh

And no one in this thread is asking CCP to take it away from you. Just because they add an off button doesn't mean you have to push it. Don't you get that? Roll

Those visuals can be disaabled because they can cause performance issue for the client on older computer. Has anyone ever had trouble rendering the cam swooping or the autoscan?

I have never played an MMO where I can remember the players whining and demanding the option to turn off visual effects as I have in EVE Online. It's almost as if you guys literally just want to do away with the whole graphics engine and just play it by 2D icons and UI windows.

Of course, so what. How is the stomach stability of some players any less important?

edit- oh and the CQ is toggleable. Some of that is performance, but it is certainly not toggleable because CCP heard peoples computers could not render the thing.

Reductio ad absurdum, gg. Straight Anyway, another off button on the client, that some people will toggle off, will affect your client how?

Is it really that surprising that people would want to have the option to turn off a feature that was causing them physical discomfort and pain? The devs even admitted there was a problem, they just appear to have chosen to not do anything about it (contrary to their earlier promises).

Why a switch on/off? Because the new animation doesn't add anything to gameplay and it's graphically annoying. In other words, it's worse than bad: it's useless. Simple as that.     _ - Kina Ayami_

87 pages and it's not an option.

Guys, how MASHED UP are your faces from hammering your skulls into your keyboards for so long?

No hope for you.

Go play another game or hey, stop using gates?

Go camp a station for 7 days.

Not really. Please learn what that phrase means before accusing me of it.

New eye candy is so often accompanied by cries and calls for an option to turn it off. Whether because of discomfort, higher sysreqs, or a preference for the older effects, EVE players simply don't like visual change. I think EVE players are driving towards a homeworld-type Tactical Map that doesn't use any 3D models, and only uses icons on a map-style screen.

Whether the developers agree there is a problem or not does not have any impact on what I said, which was a broad statement against the trends of EVE players negatively reacting to visual improvements in the game.

In fact, your signature points out quite succinctly how ridiculous the trend is:

Visual improvements and eye candy very rarely add anything to gameplay, and "annoying" is subjective. So based on the above quote: the entire V3 project is useless, Trinity graphical expansion was useless, new nebula were useless, new turrets and missile launchers were useless, new death animations are useless, etc etc etc.

My thoughts are is that I wish the jump animation were as nice as the warp animation (which I love). The jump animation looks half baked, and it does pull you out of the tracking angle you have set up already.

I'm playing on a pretty slow computer (a junky laptop), so I'm not sure what slowdown you guys are talking about.
