Every... Single.... Jump.... I know you are proud of your new feature but is it really necessary to make my screen flash every 20 seconds during a long trip? I've only been back in game about an hour and a half and I cringe every time I see this animation. I'll give you that I thought "this is neat" to myself as I lost a station for the first time ans saw it. But seriously, it sucks.... I'd much prefer to see it when called upon.

Please give me a way to turn it off or better yet, make it go away unless I decide to do a manual scan. Thanks!

I want to turn the sun off...that never happened.

Hope you have better luck.

I thought we could just turn it off

You should have seen it BEFORE they changed it, it was bright green. Be thankful they toned the color down some and get over it.

*shrugs* First world problem

Every... Single.... Jump....

I agree, those damn Orange Radiant stars are too bright can I have an option to turn those off? OOOhhhh nah I got one, all of these ships and people flying past me, can I get an option to turn those off too, they annoy me.

In fact, you can. Overview + Bracket settings...

First world problem (like every single issue in EVE) or not, it's really annoying and not something I want to pay to look at. Hence voicing my opinion here.

OP:

Don't expect for it to be changed, removed, or to have an option to turn it off. CCP doesn't like criticism of their product.

I try to think of it like this:

To them, I'm not a customer. They are absolute GODS, and can never be questioned.

I'm paying them for the privelege to play their game.

That might help get you through the motion sickness...

Okay...

1.) Create a contract to me with all your items
2.) Go to your account management page and unsub.
3.) Problem solved.

That wasn't so hard was it.

CCP Guard is now a god? Holy **** when did that happen?? GUARD!! Forgive me, I have sinned, I have forgotten to sacrifice my rifter to thee for the 10 year holy event. Please do not strike me down with QA Smartbombs >.<

CCP is full of idiots.
I never scan for this anomalies and other cosmic sigs, why I need always to see this useless for me effect and load my processor with useless effects?
I DO NOT NEED this scan effect after every jump, especially in fleet, especially if I never use this anomalies and signatures.

Make ability to turn off this scan effect because this overlay button on scan didn't work and not turn it off.

And like people told, this all good for your boss presentations but not for everyday and people who REALLY PLAY this game, because we all know CCP dev never play in eve every day.

Our current plan is to leave it as-is for a few weeks and then see if it's still bothering people. It's very hard in advance to separate the things that will annoy people for a week and then stop being an issue from the things that will persist in annoying people forever. If you look at the initial feedback for the new font, for example, there was a near-riot when it was deployed - but if you go back and look at the old font now it's horrible.

I love it, it's really cool and more immersive experience. Plus it's awesome seeing things "ping" knowing there are things out there you don't normally see.

I've never did much scanning but thanks to the changes I've been hoping system to system running hacking sites and have racked up about 80 million in goodies in highsec hacking within an hour's time just exploring and having fun with it.


I thought I'd miss ice mining, the solo ice miner is no longer possible.

I'm just a solo miner, but after the changes the ice belts deplete within an hour as they get swarmed the most ice i got all day was 4 pieces stretched to 2 systems.

so that profession is gone and the botters will own the ice respawns since they deplete waaay to fast, otela was gone in under an hour. haha


but doing the hacking sites has been a nice change of pace and I haven't left the same system in about 2 years, but with the scanning changes ive been moving around systems for first time in 2 years.

if people don't like the scan on jump sequence then don't jump... no need in changing it

Greyscale alt.

Here is the solution:

Keep the effect for when people MANUALLY scan a system, instead of forcing players to auto-scan every single time they jump through a gate.

I really don't see the problem. You'll eventually not even notice it.

Another Octoven Splurge Post.

If you have EVER been in a 500+ man fleet fight under 10% TiDi you would hate it too. Now I do know this is your ignorance that is being shown through your awful posting. But seriously you are just arguing for the sake of being on the other side of the argument. AGAIN NO ONE is arguing AGINST new animations. WE are ARGUING for the OPTION to DISABLE it. If you want all your pretty animations have at it. Those of us who actually play the game on any regular basis want it disabled.


I again bolded the important parts for you Octoven since you seem to need simple responses to your posts for you to understand.

So you want an option for this as well...how many ******* options do you want to disable features in the game? Where exactly to you draw your line at?

Somewhere around "turning off this option would cause the client to crash". How's that?

+1 good sir.

Right, ok lets all jump on the bandwagon then and waste dev time by implementing options for EVERYTHING since it is apparent that is the only way anyone will be happy -.-

Why wouldn't it come with a OFF button in the first place? Surely someone at CCP thought it might be a tad annoying.

Giving you options to turn things on and off means giving you options to make CCPs life miserable trying to test, trying to troubleshoot, and trying to fix problems. Everything you can turn on or off is another variable among already too many.

You are never going to get options for everything. It may be technically doable, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea.

I was one of the people on the test server feedback threads complaining that it shouldn't occur every time you undock or jump through a gate... It's not even just the animation that annoys me. It ruins the point of scanning for those things in the first place. They made a great move when they put ice belts into anomalies but then they went and made the scan animation automatic so you see the sites as soon as you undock anyway. You might as well have left them in space normally, because everyone knows they're there. It ruins the point of scanning if it just is automatically found for you.

It suffices to say I wasn't the only person voicing this concern, but it still made it to the final cut. You'd have thought CCP had learnt it's lesson when they forced the CQ on everyone. Apparently not.

As cool as the scanner and effect is, i just don't really want it if i don't plan on running any sites.

Oh come on! The animation is awesome when you're running a mission. You NEED to know that there is something to probe out there while 50 Angels are trying to blow you up.

overheated from all this

However, here is the real issue regarding the auto scan. EVE Players hate being told they cant do something, they hate being told, "Here is a new awesome graphic, and you cant turn it off completely." It has nothing to do with the actual mechanic being a problem, its a matter of principle for most players. Sort of like the door and ship spinning was with Incarna. However, unlike Incarna, this feature is not taking anything away from the player's game, and it certainly is not an annoyance. You get one little sweep and it goes by so fast that if you arent paying attention, you'd never know it happened. Its fine the way it is.

I want to turn the sun off...that never happened.

Hope you have better luck.

Well I have not even finished to download the patch and already hate it. - Like some said, the first time a lot of things look neat, but even at the presentation I thought, "hmm, I am doing a lot of fast paced distribution missions to get faction missions and standings and that is like 12 missions and 140 jumps the hour ... some jumps just 5 seconds apart and every time this damn scan"

The same goes for the jump tunnel effect, I will really enjoy and love it on 1 jumps to missions, into fights, exploring and so forth, but during trade actions, distribution missions etc... its just a hell of annoying.

An option needs to be there, even if it is 'hit "space" to abort/interrupt' if you don't want it to be able to take it out completely.

Flashy crap no-one needs and is just annoying over time is what killed a lot of games - functionality first, effects an option. hardcore players will always choose speed and efficiency over graphic effects - and those are the ones populating the world and make it go round.

First thing on many games is setting graphics and res to max high and disable all effects, I hate a cluttered screen.

And I thank the design goods for the transparency option ++++++++++

To be honest, I love the new animation, and the new "system scanner" UI and animation is amazing. And I will use it fairly frequently.

My gripe is that it forces me to use it each time I enter a system. Which means when I spot a hidden ore belt in system, I know that I didn't actually spot it, it was just shown to me just like it was shown to every other player that passed through that system. I didn't discover it, I put in no effort. And I know then that if I were to mine that belt that everyone is aware that it is there.

It's just not rewarding if it's just shoved in your face, and it takes away from the people who actively go out looking for stuff. The stuff that shows up now isn't "exploration" if you don't have to look for it. If you want them to be able to scan as soon as they enter the system then they can, by having the scan on permanently (love the fact you can do that), but don't have it running without us doing anything. That's just.... well... daft.

Forgive me if I am wrong. I was under the impression it already had an on/off menu. The top option in the scanning radial menu should toggle it. I'm at work so I cannot confirm.

It does but it shuts the reticles off. The reticles aren't the issue, but the circular scan action to reveal them that's causing some unpleasant vertigo like symptoms.

Why don't we just roll back every feature implemented in odyssey. It seems the only way to prevent this barrage of ridiculous posts incoming.

You're exactly right. A good chunk of the Eve community suddenly turned into hypochondriacs overnight. Thank you Dr. Dark, for your astute observation. Now, if you would be so kind, the rafter and rope are in room seven.

Wait nevermind, realized I could turn off the overlay after I posted. This argument is just about the scan animation?.... **** it.

I'll be in my bunk...

Good for exploration.
Useless and annoying for anything else. ON/OFF please.

I don't know about them being idiots, they've gotten this far. I just don't understand these changes. When I'm not interested in scanning, just don't show me scanning. Why shove it down our throats. I'm not a huge fan of mini games or camo ships either... but that's another thread entirely.

I'll just leave it at I simply don't like this expansion.

Our current plan is to leave it as-is for a few weeks and then see if it's still bothering people.

Don't worry if there's gonna be a riot it won't be about the scanner but about a certain new employee

You know, I usually like to be productive... but it still amazes me the capacity for people in this game to whine about absolutely (*&^ing everything. It's 2 seconds when you enter a system. If it bothers you, blink

Seems like some people would rather put everything off and play text based eve, stop whining you old crybabies, this game is actually unbelievable in the amount of people who feel like they should have this and should have that, haven't seen this many old people whine in one place since I been at the retirement home to visit mum

What scan animation?

My mind put that on ignore about 3 days after it came out. No help from CCP required.

Perhaps if you didn't focus 100% of your attention on seeing it every time you undock or come out of a jump, you'd get over it.

BTW whatever happened to Walking in Stations?? It would be nice to be able to interact with other players somewhere besides space..ya think maybe that we could get a priority on that instead of say , another ship scanner upgrade? Just a thought...:)

Thanks

Personally I've loved most of the stuff in the new expansion. The jump effect being possibly my favourite thing.
I have really enjoyed the new exploration features but I must say one of the most disappointing things I found was realising that even when I clicked the "Hide scan overlay" button the system would still scan at every jump.

I like the new scan effect, a lot. But I don't like it being around when I'm not actually exploring.
I would add to any CCP Devs who might read this (however unlikely) that if you don't know whether or not to include an on/off toggle for an effect, it is always better to have one.

I dont even notice it, sry Guys i accept that the Jump Animation may cause Motion Sickness but this blue Wall isnt a Problem at all!

Stop whining about everything this is Eve not Counter Strike!

I'll give you that I thought "this is neat" to myself as I left a station for the first time ans saw it.

First time i saw it i immediatly said to some friends 'Cool , this is gonna be really annoying after a few times' ....




The odd thing is i actually don't 'notice' it any more.As most stuff it just needs getting used to though i can imagine that for some people with a 'visual handicap' to the eyes it would be irritating every single time.

try ignoring it in a system with 20+ anoms and as many sigs.

You should have seen it BEFORE they changed it, it was bright green. Be thankful they toned the color down some and get over it.

Frankly, at this point I would hope that CCP's default response to all the whiners who demand an off switch for every last feature of the game is "lol, no. HTFU."

lol etc

DURR.

As it should be, really. I happen to think people need to learn how to ignore features they don't use rather than needing a special "DURR I NOT DO SCAN GAEMS" button. CCP meanwhile need to keep up the appearance of being professionals. The poor bar stewards.

Happily for me, as a player rather than a dev, I'm at liberty to say that if the system DRADIS sweep bothers somebody, then the irritation they feel is self-inflicted, and as such they need to learn how to not be a colossal infant.
