I don't like the new warp effect either, but given that there wasn't a warp effect until this build im guessing its not finished (that and the fact there is no lead in and lead out).
I also had fun trying to use my probes with the huge grid thing that is the size indicator.. Drop 2 probes in the same spot and it becomes a glowing ball of evil..
None of this bothers me too much because well.. Test Server..

New warp effect is pretty terrible, sit on FD station and it's just a sea of purple sparks. You also kind of have the feeling that you're not mving at all when you're warping. An updated version of the old effects would be far better.
As for the other effects some are awesome some are ok, they just need some refining and need to be toned down a bit. It's the test server after all and I have no doubt we'll see them improved in patches to come.
Deffinitely need to be toned down though, with a couple of effects it's not over the top but when they start stacking on top of each other it's a mssive mess.

To all those saying "its a test server, stop complaining"... well arent we supposed to be giving feedback on each build? How else do things get improved...
... and yeah I share the same feeling of most on here, the warp effect... not good, it doesnt give the same feeling of speed that the old one used to, theres no real way to tell you are moving. No lead in and out, but I guess that will be sorted in time.
New armour rep.. pretty cool, I like it, but new shield rep.. I'm glad I'm an armour tanker.. I'd get sore eyes watching that for more than 30 secs.
What happened to the lovely muzzle flashes on the arty from last build? I am assuming a bug and you havent removed it and replaced it with this.. laser like effect.
Other than that, pretty good overall, its coming along nicely.

The new warp effect really needs to convey movement better. The old one was great in that regard.

I agree. One of the only complimentary things my gamer wife has said about "That boring ship game" I play, was that the warp effect was done well.
I may not care for the new effect, but at least give it some better sense of movement.
Also, why does the warp tunnel appear while aligning, and turn with the ship? |

Gotta admit these new effects are a bit over the top. Especially the shield booster effect.
I really like this expansion but some of the work has gone into fixing none-existent problems. Eve was plenty pretty to start with.
It's starting to look a bit like a laser-disco light show.

This is like the umpteenth time someone has said the shields don't scale as well for battleships as say, frigates. Did you happen to stop and think, maybe they're not supposed to? Maybe the shields are 5-10m (a guess...) from the ship in all classes and it just doesn't look as far on battleships because they're so much larger than frigates. Ya think?

1) The new warp effect looks very bad. It does not give any sense of movement. The old one is way better.
2) Overal, I feel that effects are a bit over the top.

After badmouthing the fitting screen in the previous builds and then having the new build look absolutely awesome, im going to reserve judgment on the warping effect and assume this isn't complete yet. There were some obvious bugs (insta on and off, coming on while aligning, coming on when i tried to dock) so its not complete.
What I want to know is, are these new PIP effects going to be used for things like the target icon and such (ie, like its a mini camera pointed at the target rather than a static image). That would be very win.

Ok so the warping effects and graphics have already been talked about. I also was extremely dissapointed with this patch. Don't get me wrong, I've thought MOST of your patches (except the nerfs) have been very good, and I also realize its been a common theme since shiva (or maybe before) to reintroduce a new HUD and display in every new major expansion patch. Honestly though, I can't feel the same way about this one for a couple of reasons. Firstly, the fittings screen has overlaps regarding tabbing for different sets of information, and is blocked by the color coded damage resistences, both of which are irritating as they are. Secondly, the ship floating in the middle of the screen obsructs the rest of your view inside the station and further dampens your ability to multitask if you wish to do so. On the plus side, however, some of the new features included in the fittings tab such as saving and importing ship setups does sound very interesting and useful, but one should be reminded that a ship's rigs will usually designate the fittings, and rigs are not removable.
I'll be honest in that my first reaction was extremely negative and I debated unsubsribing the game. In light of the possibility of even more nerfs ( I noticed you did something to my drones AGAIN), this may just happen anyway. Let me be clear. I will not unsub for lame graphics (after all, its whats on the iside that counts right?). I will unsub over continued nerfs and unending quests to find the ultimate equilibrium between a battleship and a frigate (wtf is up with that really). I know you may not care about me individually, but I am sure I am not the only one who feels this way.

I think the old cloak effect (now on TQ) was perfect. I do think the flying sparks of doom are being massively over used and the warp animation was also a lot better before. The jump animation (I'm guessing it isn't finished) just looks 2D. :o

The jump animation looks like a toilet flushing. Watching my typhoon go through it over and over is unpleasant.

I'm sensing a rather large number of new kids on the Sisi playground. Sisi is almost always like this 2 weeks before a release. The graphics/effects/functionality almost always seem half-assed.

whatever if you listened to these forums everyone hated the trinity cloak effect too.
anyways, I was hopping that the cloak effect normaly wouldn't have those sparks, and they would only show up when jumping.
so it's like the gate itself is cloaking you.
can anyone using a cloak comfrim it's the same effect?

There's a new tractor beam effect by the way . . . looks awesome.
I'm all in favour of the new effects, but I'd like to see them in their final iteration, all complete, before passing judgement.

AC's - awesome...seems a bit choppy atm tho
Arty's - same awesomeness, effect could use some smoothing out just like AC's
Blasters = theres hardly anything to see, just a super fast bolt of...light. Should make it something more brutal and obvious that if ur close to this guy...pain will follow.
Rails - neat, can't complain too much
Pulses - pretty awesome, should go for a more "star wars" style laser instead of a straight beam that flickers in and out.
Beams - wtf, its like a laser pointer now.
NOS/Neuts - love them! awesome
Cloaking - this is dumb, having that electricity stuff on you while ur cloaked...a more subtle effect using it would be sweet...but ur stealthy...not a xmas ship light show.
Warping - effect is neat, doesn't feel like ur moving at all tho. effect also cuts out way too soon so it just looks like ur sitting in space...and then something flies at you to land.
Shield/Armor reps - neato!
Sensor boosters - neat but nothing too exciting
I think that's all i looked at, feel free to rip me apart if u think otherwise heh

yeah, the warp effect's pretty obviously still being worked on. It went from being a cylinder that surrounded the ship and moved as you moved, to only cutting in at cruise at the same time as the red/blue shifts are applied and a screen warp comes in as well.
one thing that always annoys me about one of my housemates is that he'll nag me constantly about any tiny bit of housework that needs doing, no matter how obvious it may be, even if it was only generated about thirty seconds ago. "Hey, you left a coffee cup here" he once said to me, despite the fact that it was half-full, steaming, and right next to my laptop while I was in the middle of a fleet op.
"Yes" I told him. "I'm using it right now." to illustrate the point, I took a sip.
"Okay" he said. "Just make sure you clear up afterwards."
I doubt I need to describe how intensely irritating that last comment of his was.
This constant griping about the warp effect is equally irritating. I would bet VAST sums of money on CCP being perfectly aware that it doesn't make the grade yet, and being in the process of fixing it right now. It'll be improved in one of the coming test patches, just you wait and see.
Fair enough, this is indeed a forum for feedback and discussion on the test server, but it's best if you reserve the conversation for less obvious stuff. You don't NEED to point on the warp effect - they know about that. It's more constructive to point out things that may have been overlooked, or provide fresh insight on something other than the mainstream complaints.
For example, I would like it if the control arrows for scan probes changed colour when you were in position to grab one of them. As things stand, it's pretty easy to grab the wrong thing and wind up massively expanding the scan range, or moving the probe down instead of left.
By all means provide feedback, but make it useful feedback, as opposed to a simple "signed" or reiterating something very obvious like the warp effect.

I would just like to say, that I think the warp effect is poor.
I'm also not a big fan of the fairy dust electrical zapped stuff, on the cloaked ships. I thought a mage hit me with an E-bolt, and I would be unable to move for 10 seconds. And the line up a few posts about watching a toilet flush, had me rolling. So I jumped the gates a few times. Yeah! that's it. That's exactly what it looks like, I just hadn't been able to put my finger on it.

I like it, especially the sound. It's now a more subtle sound that's more equalized with combat sounds. I'm lazy and hate having to keep adjusting the volume in and out of combat late at night. Warp gate activation with the camera close was one of those abrupt and loud sounds that reminded you your volume was still up from the station, youtube, whatever.
