Apparently this is the new wormhole animation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mk1-RkCCY5s
I have to say, i think this "update" is pretty half arsed, i can already get this effect by zooming in with my mouse wheel 
Please CCP, either make is look different and as cool as the gate jump effect or just don't do it until you have the resources to do a good job.
I don't see you doing the anything for wormhole residence for a long time, so throw us this small bone please.

Yes, that's dissapointing, and hopefully half finished. Okay, quarter finished. One eight finished... Ahem.. You know what I mean.

It's using the same art asset as the wormhole itself, so it's quite save to assume that the effect is only a placeholder and they so far only put the code in to play it.

I guess they just added this temporarily due to the complaints in the jump transition thread. As of now, the transition has only bean applied to jump gates and super jump bridges. The devs were promising to look into the wormhole jump effect later, when they have completed the testing and fixing of those effects already added... |

That "effect" has been in since they started testing the next expansion on SiSi. It's almost certainly a place holder for when the put in a real animation. It does the same basic steps as jumping through a stargate: zoom in, {begin animation here}, jump (i.e. load next system), {finish animation}, zoom out. It's just they haven't got an animation for it yet. That the experience is different at all is likely an artifact of the new code for session change mechanics than anything else.

Obviously it is not that safe to say that we will get new animations, as the subject seems unstable CCP side.
We almost had an update to wormhole space, almost !...

Given that we're talking of wormholes, there is way to little chaos in the jump-effect.
I wasn't aware at all of a new jumpanimation, but that one conflicts with wormholes looking quite blurry close-up. Looking forward to the finished version!
Ps: thanks for bringing that up! |

It really doesn't feel wormhole'ish. WormHOLES should be something you/your ship falls into (like a black hole).
That awkward moment when I'm salvaging a Minmatar wreck and after 10 minutes the player starts shooting at me.

Well... since a WH is much more 'natural' than a stargate, I find that 'more peaceful' transition quite fitting for a WH. That doesn't mean it could show that 'space-time bending' effect too, at least for giving the effect you're traversing many many light years in seconds, while being more peaceful. |

Yeah, I agree. I just wish it was a new graphic instead of the one we're already used to. It would be great if the wormhole transition was seamless like how it is in the Origins trailer when it shows the Earth colonists passing through the EVE gate. |

I don't think it's so bad
it flows better than the previous choppy, blank screen
at least there's no swiveling camera

Rain, your character portrait looks fantastic. Nice job!
I agree with the guy that said the wormhole effect should look like the eve gate worhole in the origin trailer... Or something like this: http://youtube.com/index?&desktop_uri=%2F#/home

I watched it many times, and I have a sugestion.
Move the camera towards inside the WH when entering, and when exiting move it out back to the ship and the WH exit.... This will give a better feeling of going trough a "3D portal".
The Effects of the stars showing gradually when going from the WHSPACE to hi sec was pretty interesting, but I didn't feel the same when entering the WH... it looks like the nebula just pops up... this transition could have some work.
But it is already really interesting. keep the good job CCP!
OBS: You guys could add some red colour to the Jump Drive "duct" so it would be diferent from the Stargate.
Please read these!

To be fair though, the animation should be fairly distinct from jumping. It's generally believed wormholes are more like "folds" in space - you aren't traveling any actual distance as in jumping or warping, you're merely "there" in passing through it... sorta like stepping through a doorway or a window, not being flung violently through incomprehensible tracts of space.
...or something like that. I suppose it could be cooler, though.

CCP hates WSpace, only took them how many years to make POS's usable? This effect had better be a placeholder, fuckign with the camera needlessly to show something that was already there is silly. |

No, CCP just doesn't play in wspace. We're aren't as cool as the nullbears. |

Yea, the other transitions are much sweeter...
The way I envision it:
Camera slowly moves into the hole, then the interior of the holes' sphere becomes the exterior skybox, and the hole peels back to become the other end and reforms the sphere. The camera then pulls out to its default position on your ship, with the other end of the wormhole visible.
It doesn't need to be fast and flashy, just natural.
Hey, as a dude that lives in lowsec, you should read my idea on how to "fix" it... in Blog format, complete with a spreadsheet!

The new animation is not only annoying, but it also seems very half-assed. I would love to see something like the kspace jump effect, but with maybe a different color, you know if you go from a class 5 to a class 3 for example the tunnel will start dark red and then it will gradually shift towards the pinkish white of a c3? Although I know that is probably not possible due to the distribution of art resources in a perfect world that would be awesome. I would be very happy with the k-space jump effect in wspace or just no change in effect at all, not this transition which is about equal to a stock power point slide transition.
TL;DR: Make the jump effect the same as kspace, or non at all lots of us don't want to be plagued with a stock power point transition. |

Well, I really agree with the demand for making WH jumps identical to that in Origins, as it already sets a standard for that animation. We can argue that the EVE wormhole was of a completely different scale than these temporary WHs we see today, but we just have to scale the effect.
A jump gate is an artificially made and controlled structure, but a WH is supposed to be a literal tear in the fabric of the universe, thus completely unpredictable or chaotic. So, rather than a bubble effect, a violent disturbance around the fringe (where the space-time is actually torn, resulting in violent energy fluctuations) and a peaceful centre (where we are perceiving the other space using the light which passes through the passage way). The centre could be fluctuating because of the light being distorted by the high energy and gravity distortions in the WH. |

So has anyone seen the dev-post in this thread? Top-secret stuff?
If all of the other players get new jump-animations for their gates, we want animations for our wormholes too. New and shiny please, with a lot of flickering lights, chaos, bright light, etc. Thx CCP. |

Yes, i've readed it. That thread is about new stargate jump animation and this thread is about new wh jump animation. New wh jump animation is.....i don't like it.
