It can't possibly be more tedious than 10+ loading bars.

I don't even notice the loading bars.

I will notice a huge fullscreen animation that could possible cause my computer to stutter.

It looked nice. I was left wondering how it would interact with play during gate camp escapes and pins or what have you. Can you still be killed when your animation starts an will it slow down your reactions on a warp in?

I want to see it again and again! Is there a videolink somewhere yet?

Yep, this is intended to replace the loading bars. Runs during the time taken for the client and server to resynchronise in the new system.

We also did a LOT of optimisation on how the client unloads and reloads assets on jumping. So not only is it pretty, it's less load :)

Not to detract from stuff like this though.

Did they change it so you no longer arrive 15km from the gate? Wheres the fun in that?

Is it possible to have seamless interstellar travel? The current system reminds a bit of zoning in Everquest back in 1999.

My idea is, basically, when you jump at a stargate, instead of the bubble that swallows your ship and the stargate shooting you in a beam of light toward another system (zoning), the stargate opens a warp tunnel that you align to and enter automatically after selecting jump.

The mechanics being pretty much identical as travel within a star system, just scaled up to light years or fractions of a light year per second. Travel speed could be proportionate to ships' travel speeds in AU/s.

The new stargate animations are kick ass.

I proposed this 11 months ago:

I demand royalties of 10 ISK for every jump that's made! :)

The new effect is nice and all, but during a long trip it sure seems like it would get disorienting and repetitive.

An option to turn it off (and replace with a simple black screen) would be very welcome. I also have some concerns about load time in high-lag situations, but too early to tell

Christ, there's always one, isn't there?

Will we also see something simular when using wormholes and jump drives/bridges?
That would be awsome as well

This is a good question. I hope wormhole residents aren't left out.

EVE players... always amazing how they can find something to whine about in everything. You could hand them a 100$ note and they would complain about how it's folded.

All they did was hide the loading bar, and show you an animation while the game still does same old stuff in the background. It's just eye candy, it's not even quality of life improvement.

there better be a way to disable this it will crash computers when jumping into busy systems

Every time I see this thread I don't want to post in it. But I just have to say to the OP, "Gross." It was cool buy you may need to see a doctor.

Yes and no.

I suppose it's true to a degree. My own reaction to the animation was "Nice...and?" Because after all this is just an animation. They didn't really do anything earth-shattering. All they did was hide the loading bar, and show you an animation while the game still does same old stuff in the background. It's just eye candy, it's not even quality of life improvement. A placebo if you will. Some game developers tweak/change animations in their MMOs and it doesn't even end up in the bloody patch notes, never mind at a keynote presentation on a 10-year anniversary of the game's launch. Off the top of my head I can remember three MMOs where some major eye candy was added, and it was never even in patch notes because it was considered to be such a minor change as to not even be worth mentioning.

So, EVE players complain too much? As far as I'm concerned, they don't complain nearly enough. In fact, they're easily distracted by shiny objects. Ork crush, ork smash....oooh, shiney...

The audio literally rocked my innards.

It will most likely not stutter more. The loading bar is just hidden behind the graphics and it will seemingly be a shorter transition than with the loading bar.

What about traffic control? How's that being animated - black screen and crash to desktop ;)

According to them (CCP) they shortened the time it takes to go between systems. Maybe don't jump to conclusions without information next time.

that's taken care of, don't worry. ;)

that would mean it would crash anyway with the old jump effect.

Yes exactly so get rid of all them all together.

It does remind me of Doctor Who.

what you are saying is that we should disable jumping at all?

The animations they cause all kinds of problems. Jump gate ones too.

It's an awesome animation, don't get me wrong, but his point is valid.

here's one you won't hear every day

How will this impact my gameplay? where on average 90% of my black screen time is under 5 seconds, I'm not sure I even see the loading bars most of the time.

the fanfest video showed an animation that runs 3-5 times as long as my usual session change, will this scale on an individual basis?, or will it be a fixed length animation that simply ends randomly depending on your load times (possibly in mid-flight) or will it force clients to view the whole thing?

I love this, I really do, but honestly its 10 years too late and should not interfere with gameplay at this stage of the game.

Wanted to clarify a few things.

We are working on hooking this effect up to jump bridges, cynos etc. so they should have the same/very similar effect.
Wormholes will get their own effect as this effect doesn't fit for them.

A very quick exit animation is played as soon as the target system is loaded, most of the effect is played before you would previously get any fade to black and loading bars which may make it seem like the transition takes longer than before, but I assure you that's not the case. We realize that slowing down the jump transition is a big no-no.

The basic mechanics of jumping haven't changed so you will be just as safe/unsafe in your travels as before.


Cheers

the camera rotation rollercoaster ride certainly looks cool but i am not sure if it is still cool after you did 20+ drunk jumps in a row :)

This is a valid concern and I think I will have to extensively test this once it hits Sisi.

just by looking it over seems like they are moving towards flying in a first person. maybe inside if ships will be coming soon.

Dont belive you, It sounds like your adding more useless visual cruft to a game that is already unstable at the best of times.

first person (bridge/cockpit) dose not make sense for EVE when your supposed to be sealed away in the center of your ship in an egg.

The game has been fine for me during the last 2 years - no instability at all. You might want to try feeding the mice inside your PC...

Then you have never played the game with lots of people.

how much testing of this have you done?

have you tried jumping into systems with tons of players or large of battles going on?

Aren't you special.


I'll almost guarantee you it's using the normal in-game rendering engine rather than loading a pre-built video, so it should be seamless. If your system is that old perhaps you should upgrade?

Yes and no.

Wait, this is making people crap their pants? CCP add more fancy animations now!

I see my continued attempts to quit EvE will be unsuccesful...

CCP Brown Note

The loading bar and black screen are going away and are not coming back.

It looks like they ripped off the star-gate franchise with the new jump sequence. Just my opinion..
