What happened to the cool, loud, manly and exciting EVE, CCP? It died somewhere. "How?" you ask. Listen to the following sound files below: http://www.supload.com/sound_confirm.php?get=244393112.wav http://www.supload.com/sound_confirm.php?get=851499567.wav
"Wow!" you say, "That's a pretty cool doomsday noise!" No. It isn't the noise of a doomsday. It is the noise of a jumpgate.
When I played a 14 day trial many years ago, I remember the jumpgates sounding much, much, much better. Like actual massive, exciting, laser explosions. Louder than Heavy Pulse Lasers. I remember flying my Velator up to a gate and jumping, and suddenly every single window in the house exploded in a shower of excitement and coolness as the gate went WWWWWEEEEEERRRRIIIIIIIIi-PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWW!!!!. Travelling from system to system was never boring, as the explosion of epicness ignited my excitement every minute or so.
And I know why CCP ruined it. Gate campers.
Snively, pathetic, noobish gate campers. Camping in Jita for hours on end, waiting for a war target to jump through. The thing is, since gate campers are wimpish, cowardly, pathetic, snivelling wrecks of drool and little girlishness who've come directly from Hello Kitty Online they became scared of the gate noises. Terrified. Each time a gate went WWWWWEEEEEERRRRIIIIIIIIi-PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWW!!!! they wet their pants in fear and crawled under a rock. CCP pitied these snivelling cowards, and reduced the jumpgates to a pathetic voom-voom...pew.... Since then, CCP have created their number 1 hit (I assume) HTFU - Permaband song, showing that they no longer care for the little gate campers. But when CCP was busy rolling around in the money, women and fast cars they forget about the gates. And now I have reminded them. Why? Because the wimpish noises have destroyed EVE.
Everyone knows that EVE used to be non-laggy and spectacular, where two alliances with 5,000,000 titans each shot each other into oblivion. This has changed. The lag makes it impossible for more than 2 pods to bump into each other. In fact, the lag started exactly when the gate noises were 'fixed'. Yes. Wimpish gate noises = lag. Here is proof:
Old, exciting code: IF player Jumps THEN Play manlyjumpgate.wav Transfer system IF manlyjumpgate.wav DOESN'T EXECUTE THEN Serverupdaterequest UNTIL manlyjumpgate.wav EXECUTE End End
New, wimpish code: IF player jumps THEN Play girlyjumpgate.wav Transfer system IF manlyjumpgate.wav DOESN'T EXECUTE THEN Serverupdaterequest UNTIL manlyjumpgate.wav EXECUTE End End
As you can see, the new code fails each time because the file name hasn't been updated! This creates countless packet transfer requests to the server in an infinite loop, resulting in huge lag! Fix lag! Excite the audience! I believe in you, CCP!
Also, acceleration gates used to shoot awesome huge tractor beams at you. Fix that too.

Hehe
I think it's about time CCP got an audio team, EVE is probably the worst sounding game I've played in a long time, which is a shame because the potential is there. |

Speaking of mining lasers, don't you miss the cool flashing highlight they used to do on roids in old EvE client? I loved it, it was psychedelic somehow - Auditing & consulting

Edited by: ACE McFACE on 29/09/2010 08:55:18 Edited by: ACE McFACE on 29/09/2010 08:54:55 I was never around when these fancy loud stargates were around but they should definatly bring these sounds back and make some other changes to other sounds. EG: Large Autocannons sound exactly the same as arge artillery and occasionally when I fire a large pulse laser I hear nothing at all. Fix it CCP!

I want proper propulsion sounds. That are affected by rigs and mods.
I want those sounds that the ships is almost breaking into pieces due to the explosive acceleration!!! You know that "face flattens due to G-forces and you go "GOOOOODDDDDDDDDDD DAAAAAAMMMMMMMMNNNNNNN!!!!!!"

I had completely forgotten the old gate jump sound but as I was reading the OP's post I started hearing it in my head.
And hes right, it was cool.... But now I'm gong to wish it would come back when I would have been better off never remembering it. Bah.... you are mean OP.

Most (if not all) of the "new and improved" sound and graphics effects are in fact worse than the old ones. Current stuff reeks of a "designer who lacks creativity".

I also play so that I can listen to the noise jump gates make. Old cyno fx and the lag from them...you forgot that one. --

I'm often lamenting the loss of the old jumpgate sound. It was still in the game before I left, so the first jump I made after reactivating had me wondering if my sound was b0rked. I was sadly informed by my corp that the old rumbleboom was gone, never to be heard again |

well they do have a sound team.
...never saw any blogs of them tho, bar the introduction of the playlist thingy that is still bugged to hell, like pretty much every sound in this game. ---

Glad someone else recalls these sounds, sorely missed. Bravo, OP.
The gate orgasms were like Motorhead concerts condensed into 6 seconds or so and you never tired of hearing them.
Long after EVE has been abandoned for a lengthy jaunt in the forthcoming World of Darkness, these sounds will be the one thing I'll remember the most about internet spaceships.

1. Don't EVER bring back that loud #@%^$^@$ing gate sound. Or the loud warping sound. Thank GOD those are GONE and will NEVER be back.
2. We need those tractor beams on acceleration gates back, I dunno wtf you replaced it with ccp, but whatever you edited it to is very less believable then the cool tractor beams that sling you through deep space.

The sound department is probably one last guy. It probably was bigger and the rest quit because they were trolled out because a lot of you guys have said in the past you don't care about sound, that you play with sound turned off and all that.
Seriously though, this game needs some major love in the sound department and I am not talking about more music tracks. I mean all the sound effects. I demand (pretty please) a dev blog from the sound guy(s). We love you and would like to hear from you. We have the sound on and volume turned up... are you out there?... Hello?...

How about the sound of Evemails? Or the sound of Aura's voice saying "You are unable to warp because you are warp scrambled?"
So many sounds have been cut from the game, and here I am left with this squealing noise signaling that my ship is currently exploding. Like I didn't know.

They don't make a game but they do make THE game better. ME2 would be a good shooter/rpg romp if played in silence... the audio is icing on the cake.
Or I just fired something the size of a VW Beetle at close to light speed... at your face. Give me awesome noise. Most dread weapons I've heard firing sound quite odd and rather unimpressive. Same for a lot frigate/cruiser sized guns as well.

I used to put sound online for like an hour every half year, but now there's no reason to. I agree with the op, the sounds are just awful. I found the gate effects from 2 years ago pretty epic, this constant buzzing from the gate till it actually fires when someone jumps.
Now there's this awful station voices sound (because that wasn't already bad enough) and the gates sound completely... boring. Same goes for the warp effect. Wtf is up with that.
But at least CCP compensated through new super-awesome visual effects: The new suns (did a blind guy make those?) and the new cyno effect. The new doomsdays could have used some more love too, instead they're not even close to what the old one used to be. Although the shoop da whoop of the Avatar is quite cool, tbfh.
The new really awesome things drown under those ****ty improvements. I mean, the scorp is pure awesome sauce, the T3 ships are, the planets are...
CCP, get your **** together.

I have to say, Jumping gates now a days seem so trivial as compared to the days of old!
CCP needs to make gate jumps a little more.... significant!
I mean, whats trivial about FTL travel, jumping between solar system and rematerializes on the other side.
On a piratical note, Gate jumps are a big todo. They can be gateways between physical server nodes and they compartmentalize game play so that EVE is manageable and playable for everyone!
In short, gate jumps are a big todo and CCP needs to up the significants of them somehow!
