When someone jumps into a system, there should be an audible sound, as well as a visual cue to indicate that they have come through your gate. Basically, it should work the same as before. Stop breaking ****.
As it is now, there is absolutely no noticeable indication that they've come through the gate you're on. |

Let me take a stab at this: You're a die-hard gate camper that doesn't notice when ships appear through the stargates because theres no "Flash" or sound anymore meaning you can't Facbook or whatever and only have to pay attention when EVE tells you someone just jumped into the system through the gate you're camping? Am I right?

The issue isn't gate camping. I don't gate camp, it's boring as ****, and I have much better ways to get my kills. What if I'm fighting on a gate? Someone jumps into local, and because I'm focusing on the fight, I don't know what gate they came from as I'm not staring at the gate I'm on looking for that almost impossible to see indication. This is just one example, it causes problems all around and I fail to see any justification for it really. |

From an immersion point of view, why the hell should the gate flash when someone jumps in?
It flashes when someone jumps out because it is flinging them across space. When someone jumps in, the destination stargate isn't actually doing anything at all. The only reason you land on grid with a stargate when you jump into a new system is to increase player interaction. There's no reason at all in the lore why a stargate should have to drop you anywhere near to the return stargate so stop whining and pay attention. You should be thanking CCP for making the game more challenging and thus further separating the noobs from the competents. |

Guys, seriously, put down the blades and lets talk about this! There's no need for violence.
THC Trader, what Maximus said about which forum to post on is correct, though. I've seen a heck of a lot of people being sent that way by Maximus so you should give him a bit of leeway as if it had been me repeating the same thing over and over again I'd be a lot more aggressive than he's being by now. |

Sorry, I must have missed the ISD next to his name.
Edit: Just to clarify what I mean by this, he isn't ISD, therefore it's not his job to play forum cop. He has no right or justification for being aggressive. Making assumptions with no basis is a pretty good thing to do though.
Also, it's a bit pointless to post in the main thread like he suggests. The thread is in the correct forum. Posting all your feedback in there just globs it all together in a nearly unreadable format. Who wants to read through every post on that thread? Especially when half of them don't need to be read, because they're not really giving feedback. |

No I'm not ISD, nor am I playing Forum Cop but I am an active member of the community trying to point people who don't know where to post their feedback and helping people with issues that I may know the answer to from reading the forums. Oh and FYI the Devs actually do read the Sticky Feedback Threads and the Sticky Issues Thread.
I'll apologise if you think I'm being aggressive, more frustrated with peoples lack of search ability or reading before typing, but in regards to your idea: without reasoning or some "flesh on the bones" for why something should be reverted\added\changed then you can only make assumptions.
What you've added, minus the sarcasm, actually adds to this thread and gives something to work with. As an FYI I don't AP through Null, I fly like a boss so come at me bro! lol. < That was a joke by the way.

I think you might be missing the point slightly. You posted feedback to the changes recently deployed. There are already threads up which CCP are paying attention to specifically for this feedback. The reason they do this is to avoid flooding the forums with masses of individual threads all on the same or similar subjects. CCP don't want to have to find all the threads, they want to look at the few threads that have been created for the purpose.
The reason that Maximus keeps having to point this out to people is because people keep posting in the wrong place. Whether you/they think what you're/they're doing is clever or whatever you're actually Doing It Wrong (tm). If everyone did what you've done none of the threads would be read as they'd immediately get pushed off the front page (and with the number of feedback posts off the second and third pages too) within minutes and so there would then be a bumping war and it would just turn into a nightmare. That is why CCP have dedicated threads for feedback. It's to stop the forums from becoming impossible to use.
To a certain extent we're all "forum police". When someone posts in the wrong forum it's usually one of us that notifies CCP that the post needs moving. When someone uses direct insults it's usually one of us that picks them up on it. It's only when that person pushes it that CCP become involved. We're not official but we do have the ability to speak out when needed and every time I've seen Maximus point someone to the feedback threads it has indeed been needed. |

Woo! Another one! I love these kind of topics!
I say no to bring back the gate flash. This means you now have to pay attention to when people come into the system, poor gate campers.

Best post in this whole thread. Gatecampers have always been doing easymode PvP, having a great big flash and a great big noise spoonfeeding them intel. Now they have to be alert and aware, just like their prey. Sorry gatecampers, no tears for you. Well, except for your own, that is.

If we're talking about immersion, I would like to point out that the entry gate does in fact serve a purpose. It helps if you consider that when boiled down to their most basic descriptions, stargates are both Jump Portal Generators and Cynosural Field Generators. Which one they act as for your particular jump is dependent on which way you're going. It's not precisely like that, but it's a functionally suitable explanation. There's always Article: Interstellar Traveling and Chronicle: Old Man Star for precise details.

we don't necessarily need a gate flash but an indicator that someone is coming through the gate. In real life would would as well something like this to let others know hey gtfo of the way something is coming through :p and poor gate camps die just as easily to a gang coming through from another gate so paying attn at all times is a must in any proper gate camp. oh almost forgot why i want it back so that i don't cross jump a juicy target if i see a flash i hold jump and wait to see what it is and engage. |

In real life when you go through a entry it doesn't teleport to a random spot km's awya from the exit point on the other side. Yes the other ship on the side of the panama canal needs to know you are coming through. Gets real interesting in the locks otherwise.
No real need to say hey I am coming in when ships have a better chance to land km's scattered from anything else.
And its not like gate campers when blues jumped under the old setup said oh my boy is landing, let me move from a good spot just in case he lands on top of me.
gate camping needs you to pay attention now, oh well. You got a scanning redo with several new mods to find people faster and easier. CCP took and gave, at least they gave. |

I do not want the ability to afk gate camp. However, there should be a fairly noticeable indication that someone has jumped through a gate you are on grid with. Nerf afk gate camping all you want. But don't get me blown up because I engaged someone on a gate and a direct counter to my ship jumped through while I wasn't staring at the gate with a magnifying glass. Yes I will see him in local. However in some systems there can be plenty of gates for them to come through. If someone jumps through any gate but yours, that's precious seconds that could allow you to get the kill and gtfo before they land. If they come through your gate, those precious seconds while they're trying to get within point range/get a lock could be your chance to escape.
And before you say "use a scout". Are YOU willing to sit on the other side of a gate while people are fighting, to make sure nobody comes through? Because I can tell you it's about the most boring thing you can do, and there are very few people who will be willing to do it. Alts won't work, even with ISBoxer, because you're focused on the fight. There's a very good reason for the gate flash that used to exist. I don't know why CCP removed it, but it's a bad change.
Like I said, nerf afk gate camping all you want. Stop turning eve into Hello Kitty Online's Casino Palace. |

Fix The problem Devs please , it makes multiboxing/scouting unworkable. This is copy/paste petition and mail exchange with 1 of gm's :
Hi No there is no gate flash in the destination system at all for a person who is watching that gate , there is just little glow and some lightning effect. The good old gate flash is only in the origin system where the ship is jumping from. I am not talking about the visual effect of the tunnel while you jumping thru , it is just that on the destination system there is no gate flash at all , and yuo did not get rid of that flash in the origin system. I will make some fraps if you still confused .Or just do the experiment about it ( you need 3 characters , 1 watching gate in origin system , 1 watching the gate in destination system and 1 jumping thru) , you will see what i mean . i bet this is not only me who is complaining about it , i know every person i talk to in game does .Thx Qd
Thank you for getting back to us.
Yes you are correct, I was unaware of this but I've now tested it and there is no gate flash. There is however a glow on the gate once someone accesses it. However costumer support does not develop the game nor can we make any adjustments or changes to the game. We can only offer suggestions and workarounds to issues. Unfortunately, we are unable to discuss ideas and suggestions for game improvement via the petitions system, nor are we able to forward player suggestions to other parts of the development team. In order to present a topic for consideration by the development team, your best route is to either make a post in the Features and Ideas Discussion section of the EVE Online forums, or you can bring the matter up before the CSM in the Assembly Hall section.
This is being discussed in the following thread https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=3147632
If you require assistance with something else then please update this ticket.
With regards, GM Akilian CCP Customer Support | EVE Online | DUST 514
Some of you guys might be aware that i am quite heavy gate camper getting flames about it every day , but that is how i am enjoying the game , I was also talking to fellow campers/players not forum warriors , they noticed same thing , gate flash on entry no gate flash on exit. So yeah this is a 2 pence from a heavy gate camper. CCP Fix it please!!!!!!!!!
Thank You Qd
