EVE General Discussion

The nebula's dark areas, the ones that are supposed to be unlit actually show all of the background stars.
That's is killing 3D look of nebulaes and they are looking like wallpapers...

Players wrote about that problem in Test Server Feedback forums for weeks but no one wants to talk to us... like some other problems too...

We are a little disappointed with this. The nebulae should look as how they're shown in this video. They should definitely possess some depth to them.

And we are disappointed with CCPs "communication" with players that are testing features on SiSi before releasing on TQ.
We just want to show you the problems... and if you cant fix it... just say it... don't ignore us.

fully agreed. hopefully it's fixed over time, but it's a half-assed job now and a wasted of potential

Yea... that's the main problem here... word that i used...


but...
And "we" would be ppl that care about EVE and test changes before release...

of course you set your gfx options to "high" before posting this

RIGHT?

You do know that in real life nebulas have stars both in front and behind and they shine through, right?

I thought it looked fine and 3D enough. They look so realistic that now the stations need improvements to look less cartoonish in comparison, but one thing at a time, k? No need to be rude to our HOSTS, we are guests on their servers.

EDIT: Just was in newest build of Sisi and the station graphics are a lot improved, and they "fit" the background now more than they did.

This thread got me looking a bit more closely.

Some of the darker area's on the video do indeed block out the stars, which does give a bit more dimension to the Nebulae.

On Sisi only the very bright area's block out the stars, all dark area's that I checked tended to let the stars shine through. It's a subtle difference in effect that doesn't bother me much at all. However, I have to admit that the way they are handled in the video looks a bit better.

you realize that stars can be in front of the dust lanes right?

they should increase the number of the stars in the lighter regions (even if they have to bake them into the skybox) so that you can stop whining.

I must admit the nebs do just look like pictures stuck in space, they dont look immersive, or cloud dusty. I thought you was supposed to be able to fly into them and be covered, it snot that case. sadly another half assed finished feature...nothing changes eh

lol, expectations are your problem

it was never to be what you said

its designed to look better and retain its relative positioning as you travel, so you appear to be traveling in respect to the background, and not traveling in a skybox.

IE if you move lightyears closer to a feature of a neb, it should appear that way in space

Take that attitude of entitlement that paying means you can be rude and demanding to the host of a venue to any of the bars in my neighborhood, and a brawny tattooed guy will show you to the sidewalk at butt-bruising high velocity no matter how much cover you paid or drinks you bought. Think about it. Honey and vinegar people, if you are sweet everyone will want into your hive, but vinegar is for douches.
