Sturdy Girl	Posted - 2009.03.23 13:39:00 - [31] Originally by: Seretetia WHY THE HELL DO I HEAR THE SOUNDS FROM THE POSITION OF THOSE CAMERAS? Cameras dont have ears. they don't create the sound. its created in our pod. SO this change from CCP is a) ABSOLUT NONSENSE and b) VERY POORLY DONE. Er, because both visuals and sounds are artificially generated by the pod, it is just as easy to move the sound around with the camera. It is actually quite useful - by zooming out from your ship you can get repetetive gate activation sounds to shut up, without disabling sound entirely.
Empyre Domestic Reform	Posted - 2009.03.23 14:22:00 - [32] I for one, am happy at the sound changes. When you play marathon sessions, a lot of times late at night, the sounds can get pretty loud and are hard to balance among multiple applications without the options to muffle them a bit from the client. Well wearing headphones that long starts to inflict pain on the ears and the neighbors don't like to hear hours upon hours of BOOOOOOOM .. BOOOOOOM .. BOOOOM while I continuously mess with sound settings. Destroy all that which is evil, so that which is good may flourish.
Melor Rend	Posted - 2009.03.23 14:23:00 - [33] Edited by: Melor Rend on 23/03/2009 14:26:06 I'm having the same problem as the OP. Can't hear anything unless I'm zoomed in to the max. Wasn't there an option once to play sounds based on camera position VS. sounds based on ship position? I'm not really sure but I though I saw something like this a while back (but havn't checked in ages because I usually don't play with sound).
Another Forum'Alt	Posted - 2009.03.23 14:39:00 - [34] I agree, this problem needs fixing. To the people going 'no sound in space lol', read the fluff. It says that the sound is artificially generated to improve perception for the pilot (not to mention that even in space you can still hear stuff hitting your own ship, your own weapons firing, etc) Guide to forum posting
Gamer4liff Caldari Metalworks THE INTERSTELLAR FOUNDRY	Posted - 2009.03.23 15:08:00 - [35] Does anybody else get a sound reduction, or whatever you call it, when something like a rat explodes? Whenever a rat explodes it causes all my sound to temporarily lower dramatically with a crackle. I'm on an X-FI. ----------- Originally by: CCP Whisper Deal with it.
Orion GUardian Caldari	Posted - 2009.03.23 16:03:00 - [36] Same problem, liked it the pre Apo way....zooming FAR out removed the sound nearly so you could do that, tooo
Deej Montana Caldari Outbound Flight	Posted - 2009.03.23 16:32:00 - [37] There's definitely a problem with the sound post-Apocrypha. When in station everything is loud enough to give you a headache, but when you undock....near silence. All the would-be funny guys aside (yes, Eve has sound--it has to do with IMMERSION in the game world) after you've played a while you begin to unconsciously use the various sounds as cues to help with your situational awareness. By taking those away we have to work harder than necessary to replace the removed information, e.g. moving the camera around a lot more, zooming in/out more, etc. It just makes it a less pleasant experience when something useful (and just plain fun) like sounds are removed. I agree with the OP; CCP needs to tell us what's up with sounds. Lots of folks would like an answer.
Golan Cinquanteneuf Carthage Industries	Posted - 2009.03.23 16:54:00 - [38] Originally by: Gixxer 1000 Real pilots just make their own noises and sound effects! For the real sci-fi geeks out there, in the Original Battlestar Galactica, Boomer (aka Sharon Valeri) was not an asian female but a black man. His callsign was Boomer because he regretted the fact that space is a vacuum and thus had no sound. So when in a dogfight with cylon raiders, when he fired his guns he would shout "boom ... boom, boom".
jst tstng	Posted - 2009.03.23 17:13:00 - [39] Yes it needs tweaking And now that the most critical stuff got patched i assume its on the already fixed list and part of the next patch.
Aeon Storm Caldari Science and Trade Institute	Posted - 2009.03.23 18:23:00 - [40] Originally by: jst tstng Yes it needs tweaking And now that the most critical stuff got patched i assume its on the already fixed list and part of the next patch. Guess again. On test they have cleaned up the desync problem, and most of the pops and crackles. However, they have also REDUCED the sound fall off yet further. Anything beyond 5km from your ship is absolute silence. This effectively means ALL sounds are gone from about 90% of gameplay. Somebody at CCP has decided sound in general was ruining their game.
Wet Ferret	Posted - 2009.03.23 18:29:00 - [41] Forcing people who like sound to stare at their ships close-up to hear it is just their way of getting more people to appreciate all the hard work they put into the only part of the game they actually care about (the graphics). /bitter But, yeah. These forums seriously need some indicator that the post has ended and the sig has started.

Quaristice	Posted - 2009.03.23 18:58:00 - [43] Originally by: Bethulsunamen Originally by: Gun Gal dear OP: here is some sound data for your tiny brain to compute Sound travels in waves like light or heat does, but unlike them, sound travels by making molecules vibrate. So, in order for sound to travel, there has to be something with molecules for it to travel through. On Earth, sound travels to your ears by vibrating air molecules. In deep space, the large empty areas between stars and planets, there are no molecules to vibrate. There is no sound there. and up close you can hear sound , why? because anything affecting your ship can be heard due to there being air inside your ship PS, i got this from a grade-school web page just for you. lol EVE is a game. EVE doesnt simulate molecules, nor even newtonian physics. EVE is a game. Epic fail that you took the time (for my sake! so cute) to google something without realizing that eve isnt real life Epic fail on you for not thinking CCP wanted to add a bit of realism with the sound this time around? Do you have proof otherwise?

Cors It's A Trap	Posted - 2009.03.23 19:15:00 - [45] And fig the godamned STATION sounds. They're so overpowering that I have to turn the sound OFF in stations. SIG: FULL WINDOWS CLIENT 1.9gig
Ana Vyr DB - LJ Industries	Posted - 2009.03.23 19:23:00 - [46] Originally by: Callista Sincera You mean like the zoom in/out mousewheel function that is inverse to pretty much every other 3rd person game you've played? [:D This drives me nuts! At least I know others share my dislike for this. Why on earth don't they have an invert mouse wheel option in this game?
Ikserak tai	Posted - 2009.03.23 19:24:00 - [47] Here's my real problem with all of this. When I have tactical overlay on, and need to see wtf is out there, I've got to reduce the size of my ship in order for the TO to be of any use. Sound is almost inaudible, and even though I can fly by instruments (that is, looking at my UI, shield level, etc.) I am used to checking my shield as I hear the volleys hit. Last night doing "Stop the Thief" level II (mining alt in a cruiser to get some corp standing) I'm being pummeled by what appears to be HAMs and can see the volleys, can see my shields go half red, and CAN'T HEAR A FRIGGIN' THING. I'm all for the new sound at jump gates, jeez beforehand that turbine roar every time someone jumps really sucked after awhile, but the total relative silence while in combat and using the TO has got to be fixed, or at least some options on sound levels really need to be considered. YOU'VE NEVER ROCKED 'TIL YOU'VE UNDOCKED.
Hans Rex Gallente Federation of Traders and Miners	Posted - 2009.03.23 19:32:00 - [48] New player: "Hey, nice game! Where's the sound?" CCP: "There's no sound in space dummy!" Old player: "Hey, what happened to the sound?" CCP: "There's no sound in space dummy!" Fan boi: "Hey, nice job with the sound." CCP: "There no sound... Oh, yeah. Thanks."

Do you have proof otherwise? Wait realism? I thought this was a lazor pew-pew science fiction game in the far future in another galaxy with 4 different factions with their own types of spaceships and space-soda called quafe, and wormholes appearing at random leading into unknown space that has a bunch of aliens that likes to take naps and gets very grumpy if woken up You must be playing some sort of EVE Nasa-edition i havent heard of (offtopic, how much isk you guys wanna bet, that the nasa-mmo will still have sound in space?) Comedy grammar fail is fail at comedy..

Rakshasa Taisab Caldari Sane Industries Inc. United Freemen Alliance	Posted - 2009.03.23 20:33:00 - [52] Originally by: Cipher7 There are no sounds in space. Use di.fm if you need a soundtrack to your adventures. I like to think of di.fm as the background radiation being interpreted by my pods computer systems, and transformed into beautiful music.
Arec Bardwin	Posted - 2009.03.23 20:34:00 - [53] Originally by: Bethulsunamen Wait realism? This. If EVE changed to an internet submarine game the game engine would actually be slightly realistic. Actually this sounds rather cool. CCP please make an Archimedean Dynasty style MMO. Thanks.
Anubis Assassin Caldari Three 6 MaFiA Dark Crystal Empire	Posted - 2009.03.23 20:44:00 - [54] We've got like a 6 page thread about this in the issues forum. Not even a single dev reply... I think they've screwed up and aren't sure how to fix or something because they're sure as hell trying to act like it doesn't exist. --------------------------- I have to make my own sig break? WTF? These forums suck CCP, fix 'em or get something better... I'm tired of reading Khraunus' sig every single time I read one of his
mechtech Entropy Industries	Posted - 2009.03.23 20:54:00 - [55] /signed Maybe make an option for sound effect distance?
Lavinia Fox Minmatar	Posted - 2009.03.23 21:08:00 - [56] /Signed i want my sound effects back!
Don Chitolito	Posted - 2009.03.23 21:58:00 - [57] I think the sound should be fixed. Its not like we are in first person perspective shooting from a ****pit. We are looking from a third person view capable of seeing the whole picture, inside pod, outside pod, everything. Sound or lack of just doesn't work in a third person perspective GAME. GIVE IT BACK!!! Oops, you censored that thingy pilots sit in and operate all the control thingy's. LOL.

So Eve should be Scientific now? Well since you're quoting science, how about the fact that faster than light travel is impossible? How about the fact you'd need infinite mass. Is that enough for YOUR tiny troll brain? I know Eve appeals to the more anally retentive personality type...but this really takes the biscuit...lol. How about you realize it a frikken game made for entertainment pruposes, most people like even the option to have sounds in space...

So maybe there ought to be an option to switch between the two styles. Sissy Fuzz The cutest n00b evarh

Or you were referring to the actual sound effects which is an entirely different story? But, yeah. These forums seriously need some indicator that the post has ended and the sig has started.
