and what about the ppl who like the new jump animation the way it is

I can't even look at the screen when I'm jumping anymore. Please, just give us the option to turn this graphic nightmare off.

I would also like to request that you remove the auto-scan when we land in a new system. I don't mind the matrix, but at least wait until I ask for a scan to run before you dirty up the beautiful backgrounds.

All we want are options.

*scans for useful content in patchnotes*....no signals found.

Soooo. If the warp tunnel effect is so nauseating ... Why don't you look aware from the monitor?

I remember when the trinity expansion came out that players were then whining about the prettier graphics.

Hmmm, then again he could be thinking of when the current warp tunnel effect was implemented, when people did complain of vertigo and swore it would be the demise of EVE.

Or perhaps he's thinking of when the new nebulae were introduced, when people claimed the effect hurt their eyes and made it impossible to play the game... again an issue sure to lead to the demise of EVE.

Or perhaps he's thinking of the Pulse Laser effect, which people swore was inducing epileptic fits, and would inevitably lead to the demise of EVE due to the massive lawsuits.

Or perhaps he's thinking of the new fonts, which people said gave them severe headaches and made the game completely unplayable.

Or any number of other graphical effects changes over the years that people demanded be removed or get an off switch... which instead either became a non-issue as people got used to it, or it received a minor tweak that solved the issue.


I have all the sympathy in the world for people that are genuinely affected in an adverse way. You can usually tell who they are because they are the ones that are okay with the effect being adjusted so as to no longer cause them distress.

Which makes sense, because if the effect no longer causes them a problem, then why remove it (or demand an on/off switch and alternative graphic be coded). The issue is solved, for both the player and for CCP. At that point demanding anything further is simple personal preference, and has nothing to do with any consideration for the rest of the player base.

Well, 10 seconds found this one to start New Warp Tunnel is making me sick thread.
Most similar comments were in the Crucible feedback thread.

An on/off button is far from a simple proposition in this case. While it may be acceptable (and coded that way from the start) to do without turret effects during high lag inducing activities like combat, that is a far different situation from an effect that is used often by everyone in the game... not only from a technical stand point but from a professional stand point. To simply have a blank screen is completely unacceptable to any game company, and would be ridiculed. An alternative would have to be developed and coded, tested, and finally implimented. It's not something that you can simply "do without".

Also, you do realize you don't have to turn autoscan off every jump right? If it's off it simply does one sweep after undocking or changing systems and immediately fades out. It does nothing to obscure your view or (more importantly) adversely affect a properly set up overview.

If you are so intent on an immediate fix, and can't wait for the appropriate people to return from summer vacation, perhaps it is indeed time for you to take a short break. No one is going to make fun of you for doing so.

Sorry you didn't like the "genuinely" comment. It was directed solely at those whom (often by their own admission) are chiming in on this thread not because they have been physically affected, but because they simply don't like the effect and this is their best shot at furthering their own goals. They of course have every right to do so, but their view point does not concern me. My only concern is for those with a genuine physical issue.

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.

+1 that

Just confirming that I actually do get headaches now from an hour or two of roaming. Never used to happen. I too used to enjoy my wonderful trips through the Hubble-like star-scapes.

"To gild refined gold, to paint the lily, to throw perfume on the violet, is just fckn silly"

I know, sweetie! Even you cannot educate everybody.

Its a short term solution whilst CCP improve the animation.

they could do like they have done with jb and titan bridges, not show the graphic's if you have effects set to off.

I just skimmed through the last 20 or so pages of this thread to find the last dev post... one thing you notice when doing that is that it's the same few whiners again and again who wrote all the tear posts

The jumping thing is mostly fine, but for long voyages it would help immensely if a) you could zoom out very far and stay zoomed out that far after jumping, and b) the jump sound effect was less loud or just scale with zoom level like everything else! That it's always super-loud is what makes it annoying when doing 30 jumps. Or even 30 jumps on two or three clients

Why not just look now instead of posting?

(pulling statistics out of his ass)

I'm an internet toughguy and don't read.

I`m done talking about this matter. This is ridiculous what a pile of bullsh*t people can talk about. There is no bad idea the bad idea is that trolls including you is allow to even post here. /end of every debate now and in the future about this nonsense post. If people like you keep this threat just open for trolling the sh*t out of this threat. The answer is already be answer stop trolling.

Yes, the death scene will now have an exploded version of your pod and a corpse variation based on your gender/race/bloodline.

The jump gates will have a incoming jump effect played to make it easier to see people entering the system.

stuff

Just close your eyes when you jump. Take a long blink. OMG no animation.

Bumping .

I see Eve has no shortage of tit babies. Must just come with the territory on a MMO.

It's almost like a lot of those 86 pages aren't all individual customers but the same players again and again.
Just because some people don't like it is not a good reason for CCP to remove it, and is especially not a good reason for CCP to give the old loading bar back.
This is an immersion increasing thing. Which is good. So stop simply raving for it's removal and work out how to make the jump animation better without 'give us an off switch'. I mean, I want an off switch to being shot, because I don't find it fun being shot when I'm not in a PVP ship. But I'm not going to get that because it would be terrible for EVE.

It's been about 6 month since you were suppose to unsub if it was not fixed. Guess it does not bother you all that much.

Woot? People still whine cause of that? Wow, persistant lil piggies. It still looks awesome and I don-¦t want to miss it!!

Those visuals can be disaabled because they can cause performance issue for the client on older computer. Has anyone ever had trouble rendering the cam swooping or the autoscan?

I have never played an MMO where I can remember the players whining and demanding the option to turn off visual effects as I have in EVE Online. It's almost as if you guys literally just want to do away with the whole graphics engine and just play it by 2D icons and UI windows.

Not really. Please learn what that phrase means before accusing me of it.

New eye candy is so often accompanied by cries and calls for an option to turn it off. Whether because of discomfort, higher sysreqs, or a preference for the older effects, EVE players simply don't like visual change. I think EVE players are driving towards a homeworld-type Tactical Map that doesn't use any 3D models, and only uses icons on a map-style screen.

Visual improvements and eye candy very rarely add anything to gameplay, and "annoying" is subjective. So based on the above quote: the entire V3 project is useless, Trinity graphical expansion was useless, new nebula were useless, new turrets and missile launchers were useless, new death animations are useless, etc etc etc.

Post #3 in the 'bring back the dos prompt and loading bars' thread.

Maybe so but I compare it to CCP's experiment with the "In station" environment. Of course they got more hate from that than the jump gate thing.

I have the browser open in center screen when I'm just travelling several jumps, on eve-o forums usually (just make sure the overview is visible).

Less anguish + entertainment.

Okay CCP you add 31 sliders for changing every possible sound effect's volume but not even a simple check box for jump animation?

Hey, look... it's still this thread.

FTFY

As per Kronos Patch notes, - http://community.eveonline.com/news/patch-notes/patch-notes-for-kronos

"FIXES

Graphics:

Graphical adjustments to Jump Tunnel effect, less rotation and distortion intensity in tunnel."

~1yr later & 100 jumps inside of only a few minutes (Leopard is a great joy-ride ship)....

I think you've fixed it.

Thank you, devs & ccp.

Regards,

Vel

So in a pure EVE-o fashion, we can tell all the people affected by this to go play in WH if they are not happy right?

i, for one, love the new jump animation. if it's introducing too much lag for you, may i suggest purchasing hardware capable of multi-boxing without these issues of which you speak?

seriously, it's not expensive to own a decent pc these days.

You and a bunch of other people posting over and over again keeping this thread alive does not mean it has many complaints. Only that there are a few people who bother to still ***** about it. Do you have any hard number for the number of affected player while trying to deny the few complaints statement?
