SweatySack	Posted - 2005.11.15 06:57:00 - [1] Sure its been covered but I think it would be a good idea to get rid of the shield hardener graphic. In doing so it could decrease lag in a fight by a very large ammount. Also I dont think anyone would really miss it.
twit brent	Posted - 2005.11.15 06:59:00 - [2] ctrl + alt + shift + E turns of effects ctrl + alt + shift + t turns off turret effects The can make a massive difference in lag in fleetbattles
SweatySack	Posted - 2005.11.15 07:00:00 - [3] Holy hell. Never knew that was possible and been playing this game for over 2 years.

It is currently only capable of fitting 8772.12 units and it is currently jammed full with 9558.33 units.

Never knew that was possible and been playing this game for over 2 years. cough noob cough Kindof funny tho. The other day we were about to get into a big fight. Right before the commander said press this and that to turn off effect and turrents. I was like...wtf did he say I could turn off. Then boom, 80 man close range fight.
F'nog	Posted - 2005.11.15 08:37:00 - [7] Yeah, that'll make what the FC said kinda a low priority if you don't know what the frell he was talking about. Sig modified due to xenophobic comments -Iacon
Jim Raynor	Posted - 2005.11.15 09:10:00 - [8] i think the shield hardener graphic is pretty lame, i always turn off effects first thing i do when i log into eve.. i like the effects but to get rid of that shield hardener crap it's worth losing all the other cool effects (like missile smoke) :( ------ If Captain James T. Kirk and Mr. Spock embracing one another, in a bath tube, nude, in space, is wrong, I don't want to be right.

keepiru	Posted - 2005.11.15 11:03:00 - [10] Last time i looked the shiled hardener gfx were off on SISI... good riddance tbh, i like to see my ship not a blue-silver blob. ------------- Where are the named 800mm Plates and Mega Ions, CCP?
Tar om	Posted - 2005.11.15 11:29:00 - [11] pffft, more effects being lost to compensate for poor graphics performance. This will end up with us flying red rectangles vs blue rectangles if it carries on.

Redundancy	Posted - 2005.11.15 16:53:00 - [13] I'm not exactly sure what's up with shield hardeners on Sisi, but we're approaching the point of integrating the new effect system (with ported and reauthored effects in some cases). Shield hardeners will not stack under the new system, and general effects lag should be reduced.

Silmas	Posted - 2005.11.15 16:58:00 - [14] Originally by: Redundancy Shield hardeners will not stack under the new system, and general effects lag should be reduced. Oh, that is bad news. Before crying out the wolf and whining about another nerf for Raven pilots, could you dev blog us about the whole picture?

They're still in, at least with the most recent test build. Not very keen on the blobby shield thingie myself, to be honest. Think it'd look cooler if they used the hardener texture as animated extra layer on the regular geometry, sort of like armour hardeners/repairers used to look ... just a bit of extra sheen here and there :<

Verone	Posted - 2005.11.15 17:03:00 - [17] To be honest, I recon we should be adding more ship effects to the game. Armor hardening effects would be nice, damn caldari pilots get to sit around outside stations with their tanks running, posing and looking all tough. As a person who cares not for the whole massive lag, omg snipe fleet battle scene I think it'd be good to add more damage, turret, and offensice module effects to the game. People cal always turn them off if they don't want to see them, or their systems can't handle them. Eve's graphical engine is stunning enough, but with some TLC it could be something VERY special.
Eyeshadow	Posted - 2005.11.15 17:05:00 - [18] Originally by: Silmas Originally by: Redundancy Shield hardeners will not stack under the new system, and general effects lag should be reduced. Oh, that is bad news. Before crying out the wolf and whining about another nerf for Raven pilots, could you dev blog us about the whole picture? i think redundancy meant the effect wont stack, not the module wont stack. Running 3 shield hardners atm turns ya ship into a big blue blob, if only 1 effect worked, it probably wouldnt be too bad The REAL EVE Map
Sarmaul	Posted - 2005.11.15 17:17:00 - [19] my personal disappointment was that the shield hardener effects were all the same colour - it would be nice if the colour modulated between red (thermal), brown (explosive), blue (em) and grey (kinetic), depending on which hardeners were active. Of course, it would also give away which resistances were being hardened, but just do the same to armour hardeners and everyone's a winner/loser. Originally by: Chowdown We camp a lot

Redundancy you better confirm you meant the Graphic stacking and not the module b4 every Caldari fills the forum with "omg Nerf teh caldari again buhu" threads
Deja Thoris	Posted - 2005.11.15 17:20:00 - [21] Its obvious to me he meant the effect. (I was just to chicken to say it earlier)
Larshus Magrus	Posted - 2005.11.15 17:25:00 - [22] I vote the other way. I want MORE eyecandy. I could care less that your circa 2001 box lags in a fleet battle. Mine is bored most of the time. I want more candy. You have the option of turning all effects off. I don't have the option of turning effects on if they get removed from the cleint. I want armor hardener effects back. I want hull damage effects back. I want to see body parts flying everywhere when I blow up a transport stuffed full of marines and hooker.. er damsels. Don't penalize me because others have slow machines that don't run any modern DX9.0c game at playable framerates.
Hanns	Posted - 2005.11.15 17:29:00 - [23] Originally by: Deja Thoris Its obvious to me he meant the effect. (I was just to chicken to say it earlier) Obviously not coz two people ive spoken to so far got the wrong end of the nerfbat.. i mean stick.

Redundancy	Posted - 2005.11.15 17:39:00 - [24] :P I'm tired. Edited in a 'graphically' to stave off Redundancy's First Law of Game Features.

Shield hardeners will not stack graphically under the new system, and general effects lag should be reduced. Are you sure you want to do that? I've been in some bad Fleet lag battles before so I feel everyone's pain but think of the small engagements. I've jumped into a gate and seen a Apoc setting there before and zoomed in on it to get a look at it's fitting. I can tell one sensor boster from 2 sensor bosters. I can tell blasters from rails on a megathron. I can tell how many hardners on a raven. Yes it's a problem in 50v50 Fleet battles but it's VERY useful for the small fights. When the effects system rewrites please consider this. I can't be the only one who watches this. _ ____ _______ _________________________________________________________

Redundancy	Posted - 2005.11.15 17:54:00 - [27] Hopefully we can compensate by putting more information on a target into the UI eventually.

Angry Sheep	Posted - 2005.11.15 18:30:00 - [30] ctrl + alt + shift + E turns of effects Can this be set in the pres.ini so its always on? It's a Dog eat Dog World out there and I'm wearing Milky Bone underwear
