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

when we see an awesome animation let us know this animation is lame!

I actually like it but it stutters, it can black out the screen on non high end video cards and it feels like you are taking longer to jump than before.

But it also feels like the game itself is 'grabbing' control of my ship and then dumping it back to me. Kind of immersion breaking really.

all i can say is wow, a game based in space, where people can't deal with a little motion ?

CCP give them an off button for the effect please, this thread is making me nauseous.

Maybelater, I realize you are doing your best to bump this thread as often as possilbe in an attempt to make removal of the new effects seem to be a wide spread demand, but outside of those individuals experiencing disorientation it's simply a matter of taste... and those that don't like it appear to be in the distinct minority.

It is more to make it a bit harder for people trying to derail the thread for trolling purposes and / or trying to discredit people by repeating false statements, masquerading assumptions as facts while using a questionable rhetorical tool set; or just insult other players.

Got it?

Do not quit, just stay in the one location and you will not have any issues with the new animation.

If by derail you mean keep a clear distinction between important matters (like some people having a valid physical issue with the new effect) seperate from completely trivial matters (like "Waaa, I don't like it so I'm going to bump this thread repeatedly to push my own agenda") then sure, guilty as charged.

No. Given your Internetz Expertise demonstrated here and there you will be able to do some research in case you don-¦t know what this term means.

Well, since all I have done is what I stated above... and since your personal efforts are based simply on your personal dislike for the effect (as you have pointed out yourself) I'm not the one in need of a definition check.

I'll give you points for effort and tenacity, but honestly, your skills at attempting to inflame the masses to support your cause need work.

So better stop reading doing yourself a favour? Thanks anyway for your valuable contribution. :P

I have not been able to reproduce it, but _once_ I was able to travel the whole length of the star gate warp looking at it from on the side instead of the down the tube approach. Much more pleasant than feeling like going down the drain head first.

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,.

Thanks for replying in the thread, but... what "can of worms"?
It looks perfectly clear. This animation sequence has to be optional.

Let me list the particular difficulties.

1. Camera control is taken over by the client.
2. The camera view executes a nausea-inducing arc-and-abrupt-stop movement (main culprit in motion sickness feeling)
3. The "tunnel" animation and the abrupt stop afterwards add to the nauseous feeling
4. These awful effects make both the CPU and GPU run measurably hotter (4-5 degrees, compared to similar activity in Retribution).

Yes, I am one of the people who get motion-sick from games. I love FPSes, but I avoid playing them because of motion sickness. EVE was one of the games that did not give me motion sickness until this last patch.
It goes without saying, I will cancel my 5 accounts if this is not fixed. I love EVE, but I won't be playing it if it makes me feel nauseous.




And to all "apologists" in this thread, especially Ranger 1: if you like the new animation, good for you. Nobody's trying to take it away from you. Just try to convince me how can choice in this matter be a bad thing. We have a choice of whether the camera tracks, whether to use Captain's Quarters, or whether the ships occlude the sun. Jump animations are no different.

To be fair, Ranger did say that he was for ccp remedying the situation for those who become ill from it.

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.

...but not before making several "HTFU weakling u just don't want change" posts.
Of course, he was quickly cornered, and had to make a tactical retreat. I bet he (or someone just like him) will still return to this thread.

drivel

OMG.

A "small number of people" with an "agenda" are "blowing the issue out of proportion". Condescending much?

Also, you claim to know EVE code better than the devs. Your poasting is terrible.

That being said, I don't see how the following pseudocode could be "expensive and time-consuming" to implement:

if (show_animation == true) {
show_nauseating_animation();

} else {
show_progress_bar();

}

It simply isn't hard.
