Any decent gate camp should have scout telling them whats coming and how long till it lands on the inbound gate.

Because your too lazy to alt tab/actively watch a gate; while mining, ratting, or playing WoT to gate camp a dead gate based solely on audio cues.....



Maybe it was just handy to be able to hear people coming down a pipe from the audio on my scout character while I'm micro-managing a fight a jump or two further down the pipe. Multiboxing was hard enough without having to do it deaf and partially blind.

Also, speaking of dedicated scouts, have you tried sitting at a perch off a gate and trying to tell your buddies on the other side when someone has jumped? Unless you can position the camera perfectly so you can see their little "bubble" animation as they jump, there's no way to tell they've jumped until they vanish from local. With the flashes / sounds you got several seconds more warning. Just sayin.



Or you just be smart and cloak sitting just far enough off the gate that nothing can bump you, Cov Ops preferably. This just makes the game more interesting in my opinion. Not to mention cloaked and far enough off you should still be able to zoom the gate. You don't have to be warp distance to be safe though it is more secure that way.

The missing gate sounds appear to be a bug.

As mentioned this is almost completely irrelevant for gate camps as they often have scouts. I've lost alot of kills roaming because I've landed on a gate, got +1 in local. Didn't see any animation on gate so I hit the jump button on the gate just to see a ship appear in overview.

Forcing more reliance on local. That's backwards.

Put the flash back for sure.

On the one hand, it's good to know that CCP know. On the other hand, that post was from late June and said the problem would be "dealt with ASAP." It's been over a month. :\

Yeah, I'm having the same grumblings. I'm holding out hope for Odyssey 1.1 to fix it. If not, I'll start bitching more too. :)

Definitely +1 for this, if I haven't already.

I don't know about all you guys, but I don't like staring directly at the gate for the entire time I'm near one, it's a killer for roamers when you don't have permascouts.

I support this idea because it's really annoying to not seeing/hearing proper effects when somebody jumps into you.

I was tempted to ask the OP where he or she was failing this hard to camp a gate properly.

But reading the part where CCP admits that it was (sorry) badly coded I start to ask myself what CCP is doing, when these little things don't get fast attention (holliday season asside).
How about (at least) a devblog what is currently happening now and what small things are beeing adressed to? There's a large thread in GD asking for "the little things". I don't need timelines, milestones or whatever beancounters b-sh*t words are thrown around. But wich fixes is CCP working at at the moment?

My guess is not on this, since I don't think I saw it mentioned in the 1.1 patch notes.
