Every time I dock or undock now, it's annoying as **** the way the camera spins around my ship and stuff. Maybe i'll get used to it, and yes im aware i can interrupt it any time but it's still annoying to have to do that.

Edit: okay, so I think the real problem is that it is so far not optional and disrupting to some people's preferred playstyle

I do find the animation okay (thought it seems to "skip" sometimes, like all glitchy and ****) and I like the idea of adding more immersive content such as this into the game, but this kind of thing HAS to be optional. Period.

Don't like my post.

Riiight.

I'm East coast, and it's not even 4pm yet.

Give the US a chance to try it out first. Sheesh.

Its cinematic and purdy but useless. Just click in space as you undock and it resets. Too bad the camera direction resets to a random direction and only the camera range persists. But hey!! Cant have it all can we...Roll

Have you heard anything I've said?

You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

That's right.

It's extremely annoying and I dislike both docking and undocking now! this wasn't needed at all

First off the ship now faces the back of the station dock, so you don't have a view of the passing ships at the entrance unless you spin the camera around each time you dock or change ships , and that's another thing I dislike with each ship change you get to dock all over again! wtf???

Second, undocking isn't as bad, but you do have to make an extra mouse click to stop the camera from panning out which I have to do each and every time I undock now


CCP, camera views like this should be optional always! right along with an option to remove the damn billboards!

Remember CCP when you removed spinning in stations and the drama that caused? well this is real close to that! So I do believe an optional check box is in order here, before things get crazy again!

You failed to target nothing! ≡v≡ online ... (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

Annoying? The fact that it crashes my video driver every time... game breaking!

Please make these stupid animations optional, I got sick of it after 5 minutes on the test server BEFORE it was released.

While trying it on SISI it gave me motion sickness. So I set my asset inventory window which pops up automatically to cover most of my screen. My pinned and transparent chat and fleet windows would still showed some of the motion which was a problem, just not as much of a problem. I didn't think about using the captain's quarters, which is what I'll try next. That doesn't work for citadels however, but at least I don't spend as much time docking in citadels as I do in stations. For the moment.

Well, 10,000 SP daily to make people undock didn't work well.

So this docking animation was created so people never to docked again, ever.

I kind of like it. Gives a kind of "in the movie" feel to an otherwise boring cut scene.

Not loving it, especially having to go through the entire animation each time a ship is changed once I'm already docked. It seems like an easy enough thing to make optional, so it's not clear to me why it's been made mandatory.

At this point I feel almost conditioned to be afraid of new features. I'm bracing for the inevitable "Undocking from everything but a Citadel costs 1M ISK because we worked really hard on them and nobody is using them" feature.

What I'm seeing in terms of objections includes physical problems such as nausea from the camera motion and delays in gameplay. In my case, when docking, I don't seem to be able to skip past it by clicking the mouse, and it won't allow other windows to be activated until the animation is finished. So quickly docking, changing a fit and undocking has been severely hampered.

The 118.6 Feedback and Issues threads go over a lot of complaints.

FWIW, the last time there was a big thread here where players requested that the jump animation have the ability to be disabled, CCP's stance was that giving us an option was a " cop out".

It was also suggested that anyone experiencing nausea should look away.

Given all the problems introduced with the last couple of patches, don't hold your breath too long expecting an option for this soon, if ever.

I'm more annoyed with the fact that they are wasting time on things like this while the new camera is still lacking custom tracking position.

Yep, it's amazing that they even ask for test feedback on it when they seem to ignore it anyway.

CCP Test: "Try out this new feature!"

Players: "We hate this new thing with a passion! It makes us dizzy!!"

CCP Boss: "So how did the test go? My new features are a hit, right?"

CCP Test: "Uhh, yeah! The players are passionate about it and dizzy with excitement!"
