Actually, due to the nature of how this effect is coded and linked to game mechanics, an "animation off" button is likely to be extremely difficult to code.

It's tied to fundamental game mechanics and resource handling, not a glitz effect like a turret animation or muzzle flash.

You folks really need to understand that some effects can not be made optional, they can only be changed in their entirety else they need to be completely redesigned from the ground up.

I think if they tweaked how the camera swing works a bit, perhaps slowing it down (that would take some experimentation) most people complaining would be satisfied... but I wouldn't count on it becoming optional.

Not only they should never turn it off, they should make it more realistic

Idk why so many of you are complaining, it's awesome.

If CCP can code a "switch" that allows players to turn it off, okay cool. But, don't change it, or "reduce" it's effects because some players are too entitled to idk turn all your graphics down and turn away when jumping... I mean if you hate it anyway...

The new gate jump animation is great, moving system feels great.

We win the war against loading bars :)

The camera has to show you going through the stargate. otherwise it don't look right, are you jumping next to the gate, or x km away from the gate... no you supposed to be entering directly center of the gate to jump.

the new way shows that this is what happens and looks way better than sitting next to a gate when you jump.

the jump animation takes about 2 seconds for me, although I do have a legit gaming pc :P

It's sorta like docking, we can't manually dock it's automated and when we undock it's automated. eventually they may add effects that the station tractor beams the ship into place for the pilot.

same for jump gates, pilot arrives, wants to jump, the jumpgate aligns the pilot since that is the jumpgates job to take over now hence the take over of the camera drones.


I'm with the rest of the people that love it, don't change a thing

This is why I made this post....

CCP please keep the jump animation!

Please do not alter it. Find a way to give these people their off switch. Don't care if they get a loading bar, just don't ruin it for the those of us that like it. Thanks.

Hard to say what exactly causes the nausea feeling. I suspect the camera whirling about is a big part, but the gate animation is also way over the top too.

It might be the sudden change from quietly concentrating on a low key screen of information including scan results, overview, hud readings etc... to suddenly being grabbed from your seat, thrown in a rollercoaster and presented with a psychedelic light show for a few seconds and then returned back to your chair as if nothing happened and expected to carry on as you were.

I can confirm the nausea part goes away if you look away from it, so it's not the sound - though this is often way to loud.

I've never had any issues with the normal warping around within a system. I'd be happy with something closer to that.

"Turning off not a real proposition" - I can only guess what that means.

First I'm all for keeping the new animated sequence for people that want it.

As an easy optional alternative I'd settle for no camera spin, freeze the screen when jump starts, except for a loading bar until the new system can be rendered. Does that count as "On/Off" or "On/On-Lite?

Of course, a simple off button has the advantage of making the overall situation worse for nobody, even if it's a lot of work.

I've been using F10 to the same effect when I'm not browsing webpages (almost) fullscreen. In my case it becomes annoying after 5 or 6 jumps.

I think that there is no real urgent need for a "Off" button at the moment. Players with issues are finding and sharing ways to hide/block the main screen and not see it.

Of course, what good can be said about a graphic effect that invites to not see it?

"Only in EVE".

Wading into a can of worms I'm sure, but here goes.

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.

It would be helpful if we got feedback about what in particular during the jump sequence is causing the most difficulty

I am sorry for those adversely affected,.

More I've used it the more i like it. For new players coming into the game i think they would like the new animation as well. Not everyone is using stone age old computers.

What kind of spaceship pilots are some of these guys? who can't handle a simple and really awesome jump animation ... lol

It has to be fast the jump between system is a fast process, and the animation is a hundred times better to what we had before.

tell me, have you guys tried changing the refresh rate in your display settings, there is also LCD shutter glasses that can help with motion sickness.

also try chewing gum, this does help some poeple.

my main issue will always be people jumping on the forums and making demands and threats that they will cancel their 5 accounts if they don't get what they want instead of creating a support ticket and keeping their shite private.
also people jumping on the band wagon because the effect in question is causing performance issues with 5 accounts on a pc that's well past replacing.

still give the option to disable it, because as nice as shite looks in eve, when it comes to performance if an effect causes performance issues the effect gets turned off. we all do this.

I said:

That there are a small number of people who are actually experiencing discomfort.

These people are those that are extremely susceptible to motion sickness, as the effect isn't over the top compared to many popular games.

That adjustments should be made to the new effect to accomodate them (which incidentally coincide with yours).

That some of the people in this thread (not all) claiming physical distress are actually doing so purely for dramtic effect.

That more than a few people spamming this thread simply prefer the old one, and are using your distress to further their own agenda.

That it is unlikely that an off switch is possible without a costly and time consuming rewrite of some base game mechanics, not that it wasn't good idea (it's just likely impractical at this time). Choice is always good, but not always immediately practical. What is much more likely is that some of the elements that are causing the distress may be modified to solve the important issue, the physical distress.


That's about as clear as I can make my point of view. While you may not agree with all points, I believe it's a pretty fair and accurate assessment.

I will not make me wise on how they have programmed it. But one or ccp should NOT ever tell me it is impossible to encode an option! It can be very difficult but it is nothing else than this ... Thus time and money. If so ccp choose it is not their time and money's worth then there's not some belching from me about this, it's their game. So I'll think of other things to spend my time and money on. That's it! I obviously do not want to play a game that bothers me.

It can't be. Like I said, my suggestion is to slow it down a good amount, so it's not so disorienting.

But seeing as the game has a literally linear model of direction in regards to where the gate is spitting you out at, it isn't really feasible imo to ask for it to be removed.

Another thought would be to scale it back by a whole lot, so the swing isn't so large relative to being focused on the gate model itself. Seeing the swing of a much smaller object relative to your perspective could be an improvement as well.

[quote=Plastic Psycho]I know how to turn off the jump animation. It was there all along. Load star map before jumping. Problem solved.
