Oh, I'm only complaining about the programming semantics, I ******* love the new effects
being podded is totally awesome now too. Sweet sweet effects! |

Exactly.
Putting aside the objective part where it causes nausea and the warp tunnel doesn't....
The warp effect is natural, it leaves you in control of the camera, it still looks like you are still in space just moving faster, it is seamless, it doesn't break immersion by putting on a random light and sound show. It doesn't stutter in the middle. There is no rollercoaster section at the start or the at the end and you don't have to press C or look away.
The warp effect is perfectly understated and really quite a classy little way to show we are on our way while letting us get on with playing the game.
The jump effect is trying too hard to impress when really it should be trying to do it's job and go away again without causing a fuss. Jumping is just a way to get to the next system, it doesn't need a fanfare as if we just completed a WoW quest or something.
Credit where it's due: Great to have some proper feedback, and I am hopeful this is on track now!
I fail to see how that part is objective. I can in no way, shape or form see why people get dizzy from this. Seriously, the camera just moves a bit. Can you people even watch TV or movies? I mean, that should be vomiting galore, it's moving images all the time!
On the note of warping, it's natural to be able to do all those things, seeing as you are still in your ship, flying at just a different speed than sublight. When jumping, you are no longer a ship. You are waves or particles or some crazy stuff, that are sent from one solar system to another. There are COMPLETELY different things going on from a technical and lore perspective, so having it look just like the warp would be stupid.
When jumping, they made a perfect illustration of moving extremely fast, a lot faster than mere warp speed.
Counter to your argument of "just jumping from one place to another", why do we even have a warp tunnel?
What is the point?
Why do people want HD textures?
Why are they doing V3 shaders?
Why do they have the art department make new models?
Why did they reskin so many ships?
Why did they make new hangars?
Why do we have turret models?
Why do we have launcher models?
Why do we have visible missiles?

Furthermore, it is entirely specious reasoning to compare strobe effects, which cause seizures, to motion sickness, which is caused by a feeling of motion when the body remains still. They are entirely unrelated ailments.
Not only that, but it's a scientific case of HTFU.
No I'm serious, the only cure to motion sickness is to expose yourself to it for a long enough time to make your brain capable of syncing it's electrical signals. |

Just because YOU don't get it does not mean it is not a problem for some people. Also, nobody is trying to change YOUR gameplay. Why do you even bother to post here?

The new animation is visually disruptive and resource intensive.
Classy.
Actually it's NOT resource intensive. They have repeated ad nauseum (I can do this stuff as well you know) that it takes no more resources than a regular warp tunnel effect. What's takin up resources is the actual act of jumping from one system to another, where they have also been doing extreme optimizations, so it's even less resource intensive than what it used to be. |
