GeneralXCypher The Eminence Front SpaceMonkey's Alliance 21	Posted - 2013.06.21 10:59:00 - [1] - Quote tl;dr first: More shiny shield effects, with location based hits and stuff. (very cool) Okay, so I was showing a friend eve the other day, and whilst I was under fire he asked "where are your shields?". Proceeding to turn on my shield hardeners, I zoomed in and said "there they are!", to which he said "oh.. right." I'm simply wondering what It would take for us to get dynamic shielding effects. I.e. when a portion of the shield gets hit, that part lights up in a shield-like fashion. Once your shields are depleted, the effect stops and weapon fire is allowed to pass through the shield as it currently does. Is this technically possible? (dev halp me out here?) Would eve players want it? Would it be too demanding on the client? (lag?) (It should probably have a setting to disable) A question I also ask you people: Bubble shields? or model hugging as they are now? Personally I think weapons fire hitting a shield bubble and then once depleted, passing through to the hull would be way cooler. Take examples from any games or movies/series that highlight what you would like to see in the game. Also welcome if you think the effect is fine as it is. A few of my examples listed below of what I would love to see. Sins of a solar empire shield hits. Stargate shield effects
Schmata Bastanold Keep It Burning Stupid 851	Posted - 2013.06.21 12:19:00 - [2] - Quote Yeah, why not. It would be pure visual effect so no server performance hit and if your machine cannot handle it just switch it off (assuming devs would give us an option for it).

Funky Lazers Shin-Ra Ltd 278	Posted - 2013.06.21 12:56:00 - [4] - Quote I wish you could turn off shield / armor / TC / Sensor booster effects separately. It's just very annoying to see those effects that do nothing. P.S. and clouds too. Whatever.

This will make so much more nice effects available.

Shpenat Pafos Technologies 42	Posted - 2013.06.21 13:51:00 - [8] - Quote Nexus The Jupiter incident also has one of the best shield effects. That thing I really miss in EvE.

GeneralXCypher The Eminence Front SpaceMonkey's Alliance 24	Posted - 2013.06.22 12:39:00 - [10] - Quote Okay, so post vids/pics of what you would like to see in eve then. Also, I know the V3 project will allow this sort of thing to be possible. Whether it gets implemented or not is a different matter. Also , things seen at fanfest are never a guarantee of things getting developed, or even on the roadmap at all.
Shpenat Pafos Technologies 42	Posted - 2013.06.22 13:05:00 - [11] - Quote Well, for me something like this would do it.

Just another 2+ years till eve catches up with the graphical fidelity of games 3+ years old... that's the thing with comparing eve to games that are being launched. it's like comparing a car that has just been built vs a car that had its engine replaced without coming to a stop for more than 30 minutes.
Alvatore DiMarco Capricious Endeavours Ltd 518	Posted - 2013.06.25 13:58:00 - [15] - Quote With V3 Shaders and DirectX11, all these things and more... can be yours!Gäó Seriously though, Project V3 All The Things. It's not an official title that I know of, it's just one I made up. Once everything's V3 and we get that new lighting model, art is promising amazing things will be possible. As you see in the links people have posted, they already want shields to be visible and they also want hull damage to be more visible than it is, as evidenced by other fanfest videos I'm just not interested in linking.
Mr Floydy Questionable Ethics. Ministry of Inappropriate Footwork 107	Posted - 2013.06.25 18:11:00 - [16] - Quote They demo'd both shield and armour hits at fanfest.... Once they'd shown them the general consensus on what players want the art team to be doing was "sod custom ship skins, give me explosive effects"

Actually, Eve used to have Oval shield. Then we got a graphical downgrade. Same as cloaking. Same as gating before they implemented the new one in Odyssey. Graphical downgrade happened to a lot of things, don't ask me why... Standings Improvement Service https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=19454

The fade is not even close to the cool effect of the sweep. I really don't get why they changed it to what we have now :(

Basically engines wouldn't show up on exiting cloak if your ship entered warp too fast.

Basically engines wouldn't show up on exiting cloak if your ship entered warp too fast. Oooh, that's nice. Why did we lose that? I'd love to see that effect reintroduced, maybe in a different way - the sweep starts from the physical location the cloak generator is in (IE, the hardpoint you've attached the cloak to) and covers the rest of the ship from there. Simply placing a cloak in your first slot would then look completely different from placing it in your last slot. GÇ£Point out to me a person who has been harmed by an AFK cloaker and I will point out a person who has no business playing this game.GÇ¥ - CCP Soundwave

Feledain Rorqual Industry Empire ASCENSI0N. 30	Posted - 2013.06.28 11:51:00 - [26] - Quote I guess we all can agree that shields are freaking awesome. But what effects should they have when they break down? I prefer a color change to dark red and random flame like "lightning" in the last 20% and a flash of the whole shield as it disappears. http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/9/8387/Maelstrom.jpg or http://images.wikia.com/masseffect/images/f/fd/Codex_CBT_Shields.png kinda like this And in the pririor 80% Light blue for caldari, with this stargate impact animation http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111030174805/stargate/images/e/e4/Daedalus_vs_Wraith.JPG Greenish for gallente and these circles like in the fanfest pic of the cane For Minmatar http://i.ytimg.com/vi/3mVQQB39oMg/hqdefault.jpg Amarr? No idea, they have shields too? Animation size tied to the signature resolution / size of the weapon. So a drone hit is barely visible on a BS but on a frig it would be relative big.

Obviously gameplay should take priority over graphics, but surely CCP can dedicate a team or two to graphic shinies :P pwease?

Personally I think weapons fire hitting a shield bubble and then once depleted, passing through to the hull would be way cooler. Shields that stand off a little ways from the hull would be cool, but I don't want to see spherical "bubble shaped" shields. Would still need some sort of active hardener and shield booster effects. Looking at the animations on ships is an important way to gain info on them.
