Andreus Ixiris Duty. Circle-Of-Two 4985	Posted - 2014.11.17 11:36:06 - [1] - Quote Hey, Sledgehammer, are we going to get the ability to wear the GDN-9 "Nightstalker" Combat Goggles on our foreheads as suggested by this image? This has been a requested feature by almost everyone who owns them for a while now. Andreus Ixiris > A Civire without a chin is barely a Civire at all.

I also think it would be cool if it had a white-ish underbelly. More bird-like.

It starts to look like a bee and not a cute little hitech robot birdie. Gray/Yellow/White is reminding me of a little warbler or titmouse or something. :3 Holy crap, CCP, get this person onto your graphics team immediately.

Andreus Ixiris Duty. Circle-Of-Two 5050	Posted - 2014.12.02 19:21:41 - [4] - Quote Gonna keep asking until we get an answer... Are you implementing the ability to wear GDN "Nightstalker" goggles "up" on our foreheads, as suggested by this image? Andreus Ixiris > A Civire without a chin is barely a Civire at all. Pieter Tuulinen > He'd be Civirely disadvantaged, Andreus. Andreus Ixiris > ... Andreus Ixiris > This is why we're at war.

Answer I got in Sisi chat was it was just for the web site graphic Jesus Christ, and I thought CCP couldn't sink any lower. To have gotten that picture, they have to have programmed that feature into the engine at some point - and yet they won't release it to us?

Please don't destroy the games visuals like this. It is an entirely unnecessary downgrade. Do you honestly think CCP will scrap this feature, having done so much work on it?

There's so many areas in the game which are still broken and CCP has nothing better to do than to add more things they need to take care of, like whatever they planned with this bright star in the region next to Jove space. Instead of concentrating their efforts on fixing the game, they rush to make it bigger, more convoluted. This guy gets it. Andreus Ixiris > A Civire without a chin is barely a Civire at all.

We're seeing some of the best expansions in recent times and you're having a hissy fit because you can't have your googles just the way you like when playing dress up? >spend the time programing a feature that would make an unfinished and broken aspect of the game (the character creator) very slightly better >don't release it to the players >have people defend your bad decision for free This is why CCP's able to get away with things.

We should be able to wear our goggles as advertised!!1111!! Good. I'm glad we could come to an agreement! Niiro Kallstrom wrote: I've also just remembered why I visited this thread in the first place. The Machariel does indeed look very faded and flat. I agree with the notion that PBR should be delayed till the Art team can get it working optimally. The problem with the current implementation of PBR is that it only looks good when light's reflecting off shiny or gloss surfaces. When anything else is involved - matte shaders are a particular pain in the neck - it just looks drab and flat. Almost all the standard-issue Caldari ships have this problem, as do a lot of Minmatar vessels. The green areas of Gallente ships also suffer from being drab and visually unappealing - at the very least, the vibrancy of Gallente green needs to be rejiggered so the ships retain their pre-PBR visual appeal. The issue is that PBR actually does exactly what it says on the tin - it's Physically Based Rendering and the problem is that it does accurately reflect how these ships would look under realistic lighting. The problem is that the current ships (apart from the possible exception of the new Blackbird and Incursus models) weren't designed with PBR in mind - they were designed with the universal "vague shine" that marked EVE's V3 graphics pre-PBR. PBR hasn't changed the way the ships are coloured - it's accurately simulating the way light would reflect off those surfaces. It isn't that PBR has made the ships look boring, it's that the ships were technically always boring but the less advanced lighting model we used to use covered it up by inaccurately representing what the ships look like. To solve the problem we're experiencing, CCP don't need to fix PBR - they need to reskin the ships and redo the shaders. The problem is that CCP has already decided it's going to release PBR in its current state on December 9th, and like certain other terrible decisions, unless there's an utterly massive backlash against them, CCP won't budge. I absolutely agree that CCP needs to rethink PBR but unless you can produce a seriously compelling and very large group of people saying "don't release PBR in this state," CCP is going to release PBR in this state. This is part of a much, much larger problem with CCP consistently and intentionally disregarding the advice of their testers. Andreus Ixiris > A Civire without a chin is barely a Civire at all.

Andreus Ixiris Duty. Circle-Of-Two 5056	Posted - 2014.12.04 18:37:23 - [10] - Quote Well, you see, the high-res textures are just a bigger version of my gripe about the goggles. This is a feature that CCP quite transparently has developed because they've shown it to us on multiple occasions - pretty much everything they show you at fanfest is on an EVE client running the high-res textures, and everything you see in the Jessica engine (which they use to make the cinematic trailers) is done using the high-res textures. The high-res textures absolutely exist, and they are absolutely not being released by CCP despite the fact that there's increasing demand for them.

If you want to make a change, you have to get enough people onboard to stop CCP implementing something. Trust me, it'll need to be a pretty big movement - CCP have an ugly habit of ignoring their testers and then pretending to be confused as to why things have a poor reception.

When CCP devs stop posting in a thread it's usually a good indication that they've buried their heads in the sand... Welcome to my world since early 2011, buddy. CCP outright deleted a post of mine pointing out that they don't listen to their testers and giving examples of how this behaviour has come back to bite them in the ass.
