The new sounds annoy and confuse me:
- Why do we need a chirp when skill training is completed. Is the Aura voice saying "Skill Training Completed" not enough for some people? How could you miss that?
- The metallic bang when a locked target is destroyed is sorta ok... except that it plays any time a target is lost, including when you salvage wrecks. My Noctis has 4 salvagers and tractors, so it sits there going BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG.
- I don't need a chunk sound when I open a can. If it opened on it's own and needed to notify me, sure. Check the default Windows sound effects here. Simplistic and clean is better with less sound a la Windows 7, not the old Window 95 style of playing a tune on every single action imaginable.
- I certainly don't need a whoosh sound when I loot a can. There's no module on my ship that's pulling all these cans in, it's me interacting with the UI.
I'm honestly considering hacking the client to remove these sound effects, that's how much they annoy me. Notifications are when my attention is needed, not for when I'm actively doing something. |

Based on the amount of whining in this thread, I'd have to say all those doom-criers - saying that eve would be too simple due to the change in Retribution - were totally wrong. |

They might kill one and be fine, but when they start on 2nd one they get aggro and start going down fast. I could manage it perfectly fine after 2 years of game experience and fact that my mach tanked the battleships just fine so I haven't had to worry about him.
I can't imagine new players getting in their first battleships, going in LVL 4 mission, managing aggro, shields/armor rep, cap and drones at same time to get scrammers while they are still alive.
And now with switching targets you can't get more experienced player to take them in first time to show em hows its done since they might die anyways.
Something very important that you've overlooked here. A new player just starting out level 4 missions will not have the prior understanding that you have about what it means to run a level 4 mission. They don't know how hard or easy it may be. A new player should have learned that it's difficult to break frigate scrams in missions with drones.
The people that will be having the most trouble (and only those people) are the ones who just started running level 4 missions in the past couple months and haven't earned enough or skilled enough to get away easily. Unfortunately, those few losses may have to happen to result in a better game.
If you're not capable losing a ship and moving forward, you're not capable of playing EVE. |
