Yup. Nailed it on the head, Tacky.

Nothing screams entitlement like when we scream for a **** tonne of work to be scrapped, or more work piled on for an unnecessary toggle. Because that's so ******* realistic, especially when we couple it with the REFUSAL to .....
wait for it........Turn.....the....camera....20.....degrees.... OmfG!!! a click of the mouse and 3 seconds.

Jesus wept.


What pisses me off about dumb complaints like this is it Detracts from the validity of more serious issues currently or in the future affecting interactive gameplay.


So cram your "valid permanent solution" It's threads like this that undermine the voice of the subscribers on serious issues.

Useless fluff which is really annoying, especially with your new transparent UI we never asked for. Do you ever think before to do something, CCP ? Do you, you know... TEST it before you release it ?

You don't get it, you never will get it, so don't worry about it. It's a game, it's my game, that I pay good money to play, and that gives me something called input. If there is an issue I'm unhappy with then I do plan to express myself, as is my right, or else why even have a forum? We that dislike the idiot hangar vids only complain about the vids, whilst those of you who decry our antipathy towards an unpopular feature hurl pejorative jabs aimed at our character attributes. So, to put it in words that you (and your ilk) can understand: Stick it where the sun don't shine, and have a good day.

One option to turn off all lame extra crap, stargate tunnels, ship (de)cloak, bright backgrounds, clouds in sites, and make it so it normalizes background lighting.

Devs had this game finished off 10 years ago. The new ones just screw things up.

Just look at windows, all they do is add useless bs to a good operating system that was finished in 2003 and only needs updates to support new hardware. All the crap they add has nothing to do with an operating system.

Just as ccp adds loads of crap that brings nothing to the actual gameplay.

I don't care what you think, if you ever think at all.

And it's such a simple thing to put an option to turn it off. Well, if you were a competent programmer it would be.

We have options to turn of many things in this game, but I guess all the competent devs left. Now we just have the ones that put bad youtube videos in and play them over and over to entertain the autistic.

Some stations - I've noticed it on Minmatar and Caldari so far - have billboards placed out of initial sight, so finding one and moving there is an option for people not tied to a specific station.

If adding switch is not an option, maybe we could have a differen't initial angle of view so we don't have to turn it each time we log or dock?

No matter how you choose to view this matter, I dont see any reason why any corp or alliance would want to show recruitment ads from the competition/enemy inside the citadel we paid dearly to own and put up for ourselves.

If CCP had chosen to add a billboard like that outside the FF of all POS'es in new eden there would have been an uproard like nothing else....but this is ok??? I don't get it.

Post #112 to this thread: Yes, I despise the hangar billboards, wish there was a way to turn the damned things off but hey, we've made our point and I'm sure CCP "gets it", so maybe it's time to let this old, dog beaten thread just die. Maybe somebody will start a new one, and we can come to another dance?

There must be some way to mod this trash out at least

*edit*
nope, client refuses to start if you remove the lines which load the ad ****, well. no joke, im unsubbing. There are some things you cant tolerate, i paid a subscription fee for this game. Advertisements, no matter how "lore" they are, are unacceptable.

I dont give a single f*** about any of the awful clips that keep spamming, if you have more than 1 client open they are out of sync and flashing random bullshit, in the dark of night. If EVE Online was a free 2 play game, sure, but it isnt, so **** right off.

it's a shame that you can't bring yourself to understand that EVE is a multi player game and you are not the only one paying to play, those who have placed ads on the billboards have also paid to play the game, some of these people have also paid to have these ads created.

so what about their rights to use the billboards that CCP have given them to use?

oh yes you don't give a feck, so why should we give a feck about your problem and let's face it, the billboards bothering you is your problem.

So did they pay to put extremely badly made animated ads spamming nonstop on billboards in everyones hangar?

The answer to that is no.

The following trick turns the billboard into a static picture of Scope logo at the expense of shader quality.

Bad to be a troll but a company troll, trolling the depths of evil.
Thought this thread was dead, but as long as it lives I'll help pump life into the old dog.
With the new station animations your ship flies right past the goofball billboards, forcing one to look. I usually find somewhere to scratch, but from what little I've seen if people are paying for these "Ads?" somebody (besides the billboard haters) are getting seriously ripped off.
Station billboards: A bad idea that continues to be a bad idea, except to the company trolls.

It was bearable earlier this year when there were only a handful well made ones, but CCP opened up the floodgates to the extreme low quality submissions. Some doesnt even know how to make transparent and flash white instead of fade in/out. I mean come on, if they lower the quality requirements for the submissions that low they must add an option to turn them off.


I set shaders to low, restarted, still plays vids. Set to DX9, still plays vids. Set lowest possible graphics quality on all options, still plays vids.

Doesn't the fact that devs at CCP prefer to work on ADs on citadels instead of 'serious issues' **** you? Instead you are pissed by people who does not like it. I'm sure you always watch ADs on TV and Internetz too? You know: people spent :effort: creating it!
