The truth is, people have to complain about everything.

I expect CCP to send the ret**ds complaining about the new jump effect to f**k off.

Thank you.

One need to be of legal age to be considered iirc.

We ARE looking at this and considering what we can do. The back end system used by the client has changed which makes a "turn off" not a real proposition. We are looking at ways to reduce the nausea reaction some players are experiencing through other means.

Yes the jump tunnel is sub-par, so we are working on improving it.

Still in the garage stage of development. Gamers making games. Terrific, but they don't know how to manage the game itself at the higher level.

The EVE launcher currently has a link in the lower left corner for an Odyssey player feedback survey. I suggest that everyone dissatisfied with the jumpgate animation (or any other new feature) take the time to fill it out.

The survey is actually very thourough in covering all aspects of the expansion, and it is very easy to indicate which details you like and dislike.

Here's a link to the Tranquility Server population statistics. Since the Odyssey update, there has been a noticeable downward trend in the weekly spikes that represent the maximum number of players logged on simultaneously. This is best visible on the 'Past Year' graph.

Our forum discussion offers anecdotal evidence of a problem and relies on a skewed sample set. I think the statistical evidence is pretty clear though.

Anyway, peace. I'm off to the park with a beer and a book.

It would be interesting to see the statistics of what percentage of clients are not in the foreground when running the warp gate animation (meaning they are either minimized or have some other window opened to hide the animation). That would be the most telling, I think.

Thats what I do. In fact: I do map-flying all the time now as it is easier than turning it on and off for every jump. As a bonus I also get rid of the scan animation that way.

Considering that CCPs stated goal with the jump animation was to increase immersion in the game, they kinda missed the target.

It`s also worth noting that CCP knew about this in beta and pushed it through anyways.
Thats awesome customer service.

Yeah, so many poeple left... its so empty... and hot... OH NO i forgot its Summer!

[b]I just fill my screen with another window like market, or cargo hold and keep my overview visible. That covers it up and I don't have to look at it and what you need is visible in the overview.

Two months after this thing was launched and still no solution in sight. Well, I've got less than two weeks left on my subscription; after that I'm out. As much as I love this game, there's no point continuing to pay for something that I don't get full use of and which causes me physical pain.

But until then, I will still be here making as much noise as I can!
