downloaded fine - graphics look good in some respects realy crap in others. sounds cannot tell if its changed - poss effects - rubbish makes me feel like i'm in a submarine underwater.
The fittings panel shocking , the random disconnects also shocking im currently in metropolis with one account trying to fly 10 jumps and i've been disconnected 15 times.On another account opening the market disconnection - adjusting buy and sell orders disconnection - can i play this game ? yes if i want top pay 25 pound per month per account to talk to ppl and not undock and not access any of the interface. 4 years of this sh@t and im still not getting value for money.

Edited by: Achuran Whiz on 11/03/2009 17:04:40 ppl calm down. They are aware of the problem. Doesn't this always happen within the 24-48h after patch deployment? Some problems don't turn up on SiSi until you go live on Tranq. Doesnt mean the devs are an as incompetent lot of bingedrinking bastards as we imagine them to be.

-Warp effect : nearly invisible, lame.
-Jump effect: ( O.o) very ugly.
-New sounds : too low, can't hear someone decloacking / jumping / even shooting sometimes, that's lame.
-New scan window: buggy and slow, also far too big for laptop users. Make it possible to reduce it or it's lame.
-New fitting screen: slow and messy, i don't care having a huge 3d model of my ship in it, what i do care about is modules, and they are way too small. Saving & loading fittings is cool though. Give back the old one with added Save & Load options.
-New module effects: so-so, many are really hard to see, some are very nice (RR/RR drones).
All around impression is that CCP has fixed a lot of things that wasn't broken at all, which is rarely a good idea.
PS: new content is ok, i guess. Not impressed though.

Edited by: Tortugone on 11/03/2009 17:25:56 It's very important to have back the camera shake effect during warp. It's very important to known exactly when your warp ends (...to be ready for targeting, jumping, and so on..) and the shake helps a lot... And also put again sounds... Nice patch anyway!!

I too have terrible sound volumes now. Besides the fade out I've read about, I can't hear the guns firing at all, there is a background noise like a poor quality machine hum if I turn it up in the audio setup screen and the voice of the lady is nearly impossible to hear no matter what. Please put the sound back to how it was.

Yea this update ranks right up there with the delete boot.ini one. Worst to date. Massive lag Assets are screwed. Shows either nothing in current, or shows current AND adjacent systems, WTF were you untrained monkey Dev doing? Constantly getting Full cargo hold but nothing is in them. Undocking in most systems takes 5 mins, as well as jump gates. I am getting ready to cancell both my paid accounts, This is getting to be too typical. No real testsing ever seems to be done right. I say we all petition for a ROLL BACK. I WOULD PREFER 100 FIXES OVER 100 NEW FEATURES AND 1000 NEW BUGS ANY DAY

Edited by: Nenwe on 11/03/2009 17:47:35 Ok my impressions.
Nothing new good for carebears like me. Huoh when you can solo every level 4 mission in game you want more challenges THAT DO NOT INVOLVE PVP. (I used to pvp constantly but no more i lost my taste for it about year ago)
Wormholes were nice idea except the fact that wormhole space will become new pirate haven and well again where is the content for carebears?
Epic missions nice idea except you would need to raise the difficulty to atleast par with lvl 4 missions.
New warp effect is too weak would need stronger effect/screenshake or exact indication when warp ends.
I like the new Jump effect tough.
I also like the shield and armor effects
Laser effects are slightly off in my screen i would have liked to see even better way the hitting laser would have looked. It looks now like its missing something maybe layer...
Other weapon hits look quite nice.
Remember 1/3th of your customers are considered Carebears and you would need to provide content for us too that do not involve PVP.

Download went fast fast fast, no problems updating. I had it downloaded and patched in 30 minutes. Logged in just fine, other than the 400 traffic warnings I recieved at first seems to be running smooth.
Like many others have said, the POS bubble graphics need to be changed, they are very odd and are very annoying to look at. It looks like we strung aluminum foil all over the pos. The new jump animation is awesome, same with cloaking, I run on with the highest graphics settings so I dont get any weird crystal effects. The sounds in space are something to be desired, very dulled down compared to the old ones.
Other than that I like it so far, now to find a wormhole.

Excellent job in my opinion.
Of course there is a mountain of bugs to get worked out but all in all its a great expansion.
Had some minor problems patching but nothing I couldn't handle or wasn't my own fault. Having your HDD completely full will do that too you when the patcher doesn't alert you first. Of course downloading the patch 3 times didn't help with how much HDD space I had.
The new effects are all fantastic. I would like for the new warp effect to last longer but I think that is more a bug than an intentional setup. Other than that they are just great.
The sound is borked but even you know that. I like a lot of the new stuff when I can hear it but I hate that you removed the option to disable station effects. The station sound was the most annoying thing about EVE before and the laggy in station graphics were second.
The new fitting screen is really nice. Please disable the click to power off function though. At least when your in space. It's rather annoying and unnecessary when you already have that option in the breakout menu for the module when you float your mouse over it. Being able to see your module would be nice when it has a charge loaded but the polish and function of it make it worth the trouble.
Skill tab and que are great. Get the bugs out and I might use it until then its a long skill training time for me to avoid a petition in a system that is overloaded right now.
The new missions interface is a huge improvement. Saves me from showing mission info and thats a huge plus.
The textures are top notch as well.
Should be getting half the components for my new PC in this week and the other half next week. Going to see what Apocrypha looks like spread across 3 22" widescreen monitors.
Cheers and goodluck with the mess you made!
A happy gamer isnt on the forums, they are playing the game unless they have an idea that they honestly think is helping out. |

Patch downloaded fine (took me 90 minutes to do so) and installed without errors. I can also access my two accounts and play them.
I'm too new around here (playing for 6 weeks now) to even be able to discuss what's new and what not, I check that out when I'm more skilled :)
I don't like the new fitting screen very much, old one was a little more functional, but maybe that's just because I was used to it and I might also get used to the new one.
But for heavens sake, the new sound engine is simply a failure. First I thought I need a driver update, but apperantly I'm not the only one with the problem.
- The enviroment sound is way too loud, and overgrow everything. - My turrets are very silent, same goes for the engine sound (even not hearable at all) - Some structures (i.e. acceleration gates in complexes) are extremly loud compared, so I cannot simply turn up my speakers to hear the rest - salvager makes cracking noices in the speakers, and tractor beam has a sort of infra-sound which make my speaker to vibrate through the entire desk :) - while in warp, there is a sound like a heavy wind on the beach or in a forest, wtf ?? - Warpgate effect is ok I guess, though I liked the old sound more - nice graphical effects for weapons and especially tractorbeams, I like that one. - I was very very happy to hear that my ship now plays a constant engine sound, and not only when turning. It's just way to silent as I said above, nearly not hearable.
Well, that's my opinion so far. Overall I think it's a great work seeing all the new features, but PLEASE, PLEASE FIX OR CHANGE THE SOUND (BACK), it was one thing I liked a lot since I started, even if not everything was perfect. The current one really gives me no enjoyment playing the game.
Thanks :)

EVEOnline: No engine sounds, at all, salvager sounds like someone popping bubble-wrap, and lasers are barely able to be heard. Graphics all OK, and THANKYOU for attribute adjustment.
Fix the sounds, fellas....

Exploration as a profession has been ruined by the fact that anyone can now find all exploration sites within a few minutes without skills, and without specialized ships/equipment. It is doubly bad exploration because exploration sites are now found by accident by PvPers not even looking for them, but looking for wormholes.
What made exploration a profession was the need for specialized skills, tricked up ships, and patience. Relatively few EvE players had these, so there was a play niche for those who did.
Now, with one type of probe finding both wormholes and exploration sites, and the PvPers looking for wormholes (and finding the exploration sites in the process), that play niche is closed.
Didn't anyone notice this during testing? Or, is this intentional?
It is important that non-explorers be able to find wormholes, now that wormholes are such a big part of the game. But, couldn't this have been accomplished with a "wormhole probe", or some other mechanic that left the exploration profession viable?

More juice to the cluster please, game is utterly non-responsive in higher populated regions. We're talking desyncs up to 30 secs and more, game taking up to a minute to swap ships, contracts not working, etc etc.

Edited by: A2K09 on 11/03/2009 18:25:45 Massive...MASSIVE lag. I was *trying* do do a mission today and yesterday, but the lag was absolutely terrible. Just now I got lagged out of Dodixie, and now I can't even log back in. The lag is horrible. If I'm paying for a game every month there better not be any freaking lag keeping me from playing. Thats absolutely ridiculous, and I will not put up with this kind of garbage. Fix it now.
Animations are generally good. Warp needs work. There's no shaking, barely any sound to it, and it ends way too early. It's like I'm gliding through space without a care in the world. WARP me for Christ sake, don't just drag my ship's ass though thousands of AUs. Repping animations are weak. Can barely see the green - I liked the bright, noticeable glowing of the last animation. Hardener animations are nice, but again, when you combine hardeners with the repper animation you can't see it at ALL. Thats annoying, especially when the shield animations look so good. And whats the deal with hybrid turrets? I've always thought that the hybrid turret shots look the worst out of all the weapons - especially now since artillery has that great smoking effect. Come on, couldn't you make them a bit more noticeable? They look like weak and insignificant little laser shots that barely do any damage. Make them look more powerful and beafy.
Thats all I've noticed, seeing as I have yet to be able to play for more than 30 minutes because of the LAG. Congratulations on the laggiest launch ever.
Oh, and Forge Trader, I think they are trying to make exploration more accessible. Exploration has been neglected by those who can't figure it out or don't have the money for the ships needed to really see any results. It looks like a great idea on paper to me, but since I haven't been able to TRY IT OUT YET I can't really say much about it.

I dloaded the patch and it seems fine more or less. I feel that there is more lag but whatever. Might be gone when the patch is cleaned up. Might go away with the lite client.
OK now my real question. So what is the deal with client lite? When I logged on EVE and dloaded the patch was that the full client or the lite version? I want the lite version because in a fleet fight I'd rather have better performance then pretty things to look at. So what's up? Thanks for your time.

THIS NEW UPGRADE SUCKS N STINKS !!
IT REQUIRES A TOTAL DEMOLITION OF PREVIOUS DOWNLOADS AND A COMPLETE NEW RE-INSTALL IN ORDER TO WORK !
AS SUCH THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN OK ... IF ANNOUNCED
BUT ICELANDIC GREED ... N HALF WITTED SMARTNESS PREVENTED THE GAME-OWNERS TO BE HONEST ABOUT THIS
I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THE GAME-OWNERS .. WHO MAKE A FAT LIVING AMONGST THEIR POORER COUNTRY-MEN HOW THEY WILL COMPENSATE ME FOR THE MANY LOST HOURS ORGANIZING MY GAME-PLAY ... WHILST PAYING THEM ..NOW THAT THIS NECESARY RE-INSTALL WILL HAVE RUINED MUCH OF THE TIME CONSUMING ORGANISATION OF MY VENTURE IN-GAME ???? .. HOW WILL U COMPENSATE ME FOR THAT ? COME FORWARD WITH AN HONEST ANSWER .. IF THERE IS ANYTHING HONEST ABOUT U ... ULF RABEN

Graphics are nice, but the fitting screen resists are too small for me to see now.
Sound is wrong. Warping gives me what sounds like a DC offset and an unwanted pan.
Lag is awful. Last night I kept disconnecting from my drones, but worse was that the reported distances were wrong. Example: I'm 100m from a wreck, and I try to salvage it. Eve says "you can't salvage this as you're 12km away" or similar. So parts of eve were reporting one distance, other parts were reporting another. It just wasn't consistent with itself all evening, even after a couple of full restarts.
Scanning is good though. I've never successfully found anything before :-)

A follow up to an earlier post about lag. When flying a smaller ship like a Navitas, the lag when coming out of warp is minimal. When flying a Vexor, its terrible, warped to a station =0 so that I could dock, ship arrived, speed went to zero, attempted to dock, said I was still in warp, next thing I'm warping back to the station (approaching), speed went to zero, attempted to dock again, still says I'm in warp, this repeated 5x before I could actually dock at the station. The Apoc stuff looks good, most of the patch seems good. Just some issues to clean up. The one I just mentioned and the other ones that are sound related, no sound of warping anymore, next to no sound when fighting rats. Hope this gets fixed soon. The lag/warp thing is very annoying and time consuming. Also with the Vexor, launching and returning drones is suddenly flakey, sometimes it works first try sometimes it takes 2 or 3 attempts, sometimes it launches one drone at a time, until all are out, instead of all at once like before.

You better do not dare to nerv Gallente Race and their drones more than this or i quit playing. it took me month to finish the drones skills and i will not switch to gunnery just because CCP does not like drones and the lag they cause.
drones are useless against sleepers means gallente are useless. Drones are the primary weapon of gallente, get that in your head. really...nice balance...
Someone should terminate some contracts of devs

This whole thing only make me angry
ok that is a game i am supose to have fun but fun was destroyed by CCP for many reasons somes of them are
they add bug over bug and rarely fix the one that are the real issue unless it have "economical impact" and even there they don't wake up fast
I read the forum alot lot of people WANT FIX not the new stuff, well we will take the new stuff for sure BUT FIX THE DAMM BUG FIRST pls this game look more and more like a landfill, where everything is push blindly
i have lot of time paid ahead i will probably "play" it, not mean i will have FUN, but each new major BUGS ADD (patch fix) it just add to the non-sense of it
it's no more fun, it's a fight agains stupidity
a very deceive customer

No problem installing, however download speed sucks. My impressions: - sound balancing is terrible, way to loud in station, almost no sound during battle - EVE client now always use default system soundcard, and my setting is ignored. It was possible before to use different soundcards for EVE and system - warp effect is nice, but it is not possible to make camera shaking, so I don't know when I'm in warp already and when out of it, and i.e can start targetting, which is very bad - not very functional fitting screen, older version was clearer - logging in to the game is somehow faster than in Quantum Rise, or it's my imagination - skill queue is great idea - I liked more old mission accepting/declining comments, they were sometimes more like comments or ironic personal thoughts - omnipresent lag
I like the idea, and new game features (like wormholes), but it should be more, more tested.

A2K09:
The appeal of exploration was that it was a profession. You had to be willing to commit your game time and isk to it big time to be successful. Making it "more accessible" reduces its attractiveness as a profession.
It is not wasting the exploration mechanic, imo, to make it difficult to implement effectively. It is instead creating a standard, a bar, that players must meet before succeeding in exploration. Thus, it was a "profession".
Part of the glory of EvE is it is many, many games in one. It is not a good thing if everyone has easy access to all the mini games within EvE.
A huge problem with the new exploration mechanic, a problem I have not seen addressed, is that PvPers will be stepping all over the exploration sites looking for wormholes. So, the exploration sites will be discovered and exploited by those not even exploring.
