Who is leading CCP ? Certainly some "genius" commercials who know nothing about the game and found out : "oh ! to attract more players, let's make the game shiny with tons of flashy animations ! We are seriously damaging the gameplay by doing so ? Bah, who cares about gameplay, a game nowadays must be shiny ! Hollywoodian !" CCP, you fail, as always. Stop to massacre the gameplay with fluff no one asked for except your marketing departement who is ruining this game since "Work Alone In Your Bedroom With A 200Gé¼ Monocle". Fire them, and give back the power to decide to the devs who still play EVE, if there are still any... Remove the docking animation, the epileptic giant TVs, the new map, the new icons, the new scanning interface, the new UI, the new cameras, all that useless stuff we never asked for and which are making the game each release more unpleasant, clunky and frustrating to play. Stop the haemorrhage.
Ps : ah, this year at least, i don't need to change my signature

And as always when there is a crisis between the players and CCP (almost every posts in this thread are against the new animations, i have rarely seen such an unanimity), the CSM is nowhere to be seen.

This docking animation is supposed to be immersive, i guess. So ok, let's talk about immersion : each ship boarding a station is entering a HUGE cathedral-like hall where even the biggest battleships look tiny, all that to be suspended mid air, then there is this very narrow band of metal leading to what i guess must be your bedroom ???? all that implying that all of your crew (yes there is crew in EVE) stay in the spaceship ? And then in this disproportionate private cathedral just allowing you to reach your bed, there are two giant tv monitors spamming you with advertising ???? Is that your version of immersion ? Does that appear even slightly realistic, believable to any of you ? And this scene is repeated for each ship entering in station ? And what if you own many ships and want to bord another one ? You suddenly see yourself arriving AGAIN in the station with the new ship ???? No, the truth is that the station graphics have always been very poorly designed in EVE, because it's not logical. Anyone with half a brain would design something similar to what we have nowadays on earth, and take inspiration from airports or seaports. They just made some lazy 3d, and then put some generations of fluff on it to try to make us forget that it's poorly designed from the origin. What level of competence is needed to make a simple translation of an object in a 3d software ? Because, there is absolutely nothing else happening in this scene. Even me who is not at all a professional can do it. At least, before they "improve" EVE, in station, i could choose to have a 2d picture which would not interfere with my gameplay
PS : and about gameplay, the very worst is indeed the undocking animation. It's catastrophic in a PvP situation (meaning always, potentially).

What bothers me is that the only feedback they seem to accept from us is when it comes to our health, because it's politically correct and who knows, they are maybe afraid of being sued or whatever. But all the other feedbacks concerning the gameplay, for which we pay our monthly subscribtions which pay their salaries is regarded with disdain, or plainly ignored. CCP guys, you want to attract more teen customers and be succesful like other mmos ? It's very simple : make advertising with EVE girls in space-bikinis with huge boobs Honestly, what you are doing with your fluff animations is not of a higher level.

They sadly certainly have no choice, because they have no decisional power. The "commercial director" or other person who has no clue about EVE has taken the decision and the devs have to do it and to shut up. Then they have to be hated by us because they have spent so much time to make some useless crap which is damaging the gameplay. They then try to dodge pathetically by saying "it was not my departement" and other esquives. But we should address our anger directly at the true responsible for that regular fiasco : THE BOSS. Hey boss of CCP, come here and discuss openly with us if you have a bit of courage. Take your responsability and take the blame for your mess. don't hide behind the devs.

Exactly, it's the exact opposite of what it should be doing : being accessible to the newcomers, often isolated and unable to complete an incursion or to kill sleepers ! . The vets get these poor rewards they don't need when they'd be so useful to the newcomers !

CCP Darwin wrote:I understand that Team Psycho Sisters are looking at options for changing the docking animation in response to the feedback here.
Of course i was awaiting an answer like that. 95% of the feedback from the players asks for a toggle, and you will "change the animation"

Psycho Sisters, if you are afraid to answer us directly about the toggle, because you don't know what to say, let me help you : http://images.google.fr/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fs-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com%2F564x%2F5a%2Fa9%2F43%2F5aa943d3628ba4e85352b620de4cfa44.jpg&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pinterest.com%2Fpin%2F452189618812305371%2F&h=476&w=421&tbnid=WoblA2GR4v896M%3A&docid=gPM9CSw2GBCI3M&ei=CEh1V5_WOuv-6ATG1rnAAw&tbm=isch&iact=rc&uact=3&dur=3130&page=1&start=0&ndsp=16&ved=0ahUKEwif-qqTldDNAhVrP5oKHUZrDjgQMwggKAEwAQ&bih=626&biw=1152

I have been playing Ultima Online for many years, starting in 1999. At this time, the client was in 2D. Then later, they of course got the idea to create a sort of 3D client, ugly as hell, but eh, they were thinking "nowadays, the modern players want 3D !". But at Origins, they were more clever than at CCP : they have understood that their new client was ugly and blurry and unpractical, so they gave us the choice to install the client we prefered. Some could play in 2D, and some in "3D", and every one was happy, and everyone could play all together. Of course they made some other mistakes later which dropped the number of subscriptions significantly, but at least THIS mistake, they didn't do, and didn't lose their actual customers by forcing a clumsy new interface on them in hope to get new hypothetical customers. Also, catching a new player with fluff is one thing. But he/she won't stay because of the fluff, he /she will stay because of the content and the user-friendly interface. Are you ready to lose your customers base to try to catch new flies who will fly away once the fluff effect has dissipated and they start to realize how clumsy the gameplay is ? A simple toggle would allow you to keep everyone subscribed, new and old customers.
I have tried in this post to use very simple words, so you could have a small chance to understand, CCP.

So CCP create two feedback thread, one during the tests, one at the release, and then they don't take it into account because "it's not representative" ? Then what is the point to ask feedback at all ? It's representative when the feedback is positive, and it's not when the feedback is negative ?
Dictature : shut up ! Democracy : speak as much as you like, we don't care what you think or want.

CCP Mimic wrote:Hi again everyone, Just a quick update on what we are currently working on in regards to the feedback you have given us so far: We are looking at combining several dynamic camera actions into a single toggle-able option, that will include the docking/undocking camera as well as some existing toggle-able camera options. Details about what will be included will be made available closer to release, which we hope to have with you soon.
Have a great weekend, and fly safe o7
Wonderful ! You are making everyone happy
Now a next thing which could help us a lot is if we can undock and see as much space as possible in front of us instead of the station ;)

Thank you heartily for the toggle :)
Next, i would enjoy a lot if : 1) you place the stargates animation in this "togglable" category. 2) when a ship is undocking, the camera was behind it, a bit above, in a way to see as much space as possible in the direction the ship goes.
Thank you again CCP, and don't forget : make whatever fluff you want if you think that it will attract and keep new players , but NEVER remove our control on the cameras, and never mess our ergonomy and our gameplay !
In doubt ? Listen to the feedback on the test server. Still in doubt ? Always offer a toggle
