Yes...I used it. I liked the way things looked and it worked well with my card's AA. So it's gone because?
CCP should have implemented in game AA before doing this. ___________________________________________________ Idea: Train 3 alts at the same time solution. |

Well...it looks like my card is having trouble with the high setting, so now I'm forced to stick with the crappy "low" setting.
Thanks CCP for improving my game-play experience...I guess you dont want my money. ___________________________________________________ Idea: Train 3 alts at the same time solution. |

Originally by: Tippia Bah. Sucks. Still, I wonder when they did the data collection on that, seeing as how I had to downgrade to medium after Dominion was released.
...and more users use "low"?
Sounds more like an executive decision made without any thought.

They knew too much.
lol'd
You'd be surprised, the reason you don't hear the people who it's working for rebutting you is because they're in game having fun. Me? I'm waiting for my Chem lecture
Hey, it's an excuse to upgrade to a new card, isn't it?
BAH!!
I upgraded when Apocrypha came out.
What, I'm going to upgrade my hardware everytime there is a new patch?
Does CCP support the user, or does it want the user to support it? ___________________________________________________ Idea: Train 3 alts at the same time solution. |

Wouldn't it be logical to do away with "low" and make "medium" the new "low?" ___________________________________________________ Idea: Train 3 alts at the same time solution. |

Not while people are still running on a ZX81.
So EVE players either have the latest nuclear powered video cards or a hamster in a a wheel?

Originally by: Imbosol Norand What i want to know is, who the hell needs anything other than low, i do not look at my ship ever, it is covered over with a myriad of other screens and i play the game entirely from the HUD and overview. I dont want to look up the butt of my ship while it flies, i would rather have the interface represent the internals of a ship showing me the readouts of the various sensors and computer screens that would be there at my disposal with the option to look out the window in the rare time i need to fly manually, and that's pretty rare.
Well, as for the rest of us that arent colorblind or myopic, we appreciate some of the realism that the high shaders provide.
Tell me, how popular would StarWars have been if the special effects were vector graphics?
Immersion is part of the game, and the low shader just doesnt cut it. |

Keep this thread alive. It is the only way (that I know of) that CCP will HEAR us. Medium shader must come back or the "low" must be improved. ___________________________________________________ ...and the medium shader setting had to go because? |

Originally by: Checkcheckit Oh hai, this thread is still here? Thought it would have been dismissed already.
Protip: Invest in a decent card. I bought mine 5 years ago (ATI MSI x1950) and it's still chugging along gleefully at high settings.
Troll: Petition for a new card
tl;dr: HTFU.
Buy a new card is not a solution. It's like when Vista came out and some XP people couldn't run it. Solution: buy a new computer.
Get out of here. I need to fork out more bucks to get what I had already paid for? I paid a year for EVE, so I think I have some say.

If you can play the game on low settings then you have no say. If you want to play it prettier then you know what you've got to do and whining isnt it.
It was prettier on medium, and I was happy with that. But it's been taken away so in effect, the game has downgraded for me.
As for all the "runs fine in my system" people here: so why the fluck are you posting here? STFU and go play your game.
Originally by: Wet Ferret Allow me to reiterate for the career morons in this thread: my card runs this game on high just fine. It just looks bad. Medium looked the best of the three, with less visual garbage on the screen like the layer of fog in my station (and low is just bland, colorless crap). Without AA most structures look awful from a medium distance as well, which was fine on medium.
My case exactly. ___________________________________________________ ...and the medium shader setting had to go because? |

Based on some of these replies, more people used medium than low...so you got your data from where CCP? ___________________________________________________ ...and the medium shader setting had to go because? |

Originally by: Intense Thinker CCP is just starting to purge the low end users in preparation for using DX10 in Eve. I can dream, can't I?
Their reason is "no one used it." I think what they meant is "none of our staff used it." ___________________________________________________ ...and the medium shader setting had to go because? |

Originally by: Kile Kitmoore Wow, I am sorry guys but some of these posts make it sound like people complaining are "whining" about some game ship or gun nerf. In fact, if it was a ship or gun nerf we probably would have seen a hell of a lot more communication it was coming. Some people had their entire game experience changed with little or no notification. It didn't effect you? Great, but please don't roll in here with your "HTFU" nonsense.
Is it that difficult to imagine you patch your game one day and "BOOM!" your graphics or performance is borked? Not because of server stability or bugs but because the Dev team just thought it was to "complex" for them to manage. One day you might find yourselves on the other end of this issue, so please just let people inform the Devs over their dissatisfaction. Maybe, just maybe, the Dev team will think twice before making these types of changes willy-nilly.
As for myself, I can run the High Shader, although it is darker then what I accustomed to and obviously has a bit of a performance hit. Do I want the Medium Shader back? You bet but I am posting more about the dissatisfaction by which they communicated this change, their reasons for implementing it and sliding it into some obscure patch.
Still not convinced? I recommend you load some other MMO's and review the advance graphics options. Heck, my DDO has more options and, wait for itàà"MEDIUM SHADERS!".
Show your support here (or not): CSM - Medium Shader
My card is an ATI Radeon HD 4600 series and it has issues with the hi-shader. So I support bringing back the medium shader. ___________________________________________________ CSM - Bring back Medium Shader! |

Why no staff comments? Why the silence? Doesn't CCP care about it's customers? ___________________________________________________ CSM - Bring back Medium Shader! |
