Something to say about the hacking mini game after the new patch.

It's good to see now CCP apply the mini game to data site, but the analyzers are still not ready to use yet.
Speak of the mini game, yesterday I post a topic about the difficulties and problems. After the new patch deploy I went back to the relic site to try again. The basic virus coherence now is 20 and the strength is 3 as usual. This should be good, but the problem is, all the firewalls only have 2 coherence with 1 strength (I have checked all kinds of data/relic sites from 1.0 to 0.0) and so is the data cores.The mini game is technically not a game anymore. All you have to do is to keep clicking the points until you find the core. On the other hand, there is only one kind of utility item left, which is to add up the coherence for 1. I know previously the other items didn't work great but I didn't expect CCP will get rid of them all.
And the analyzers (both data and relic analyzers) have changed as well, with 100 virus coherence and 20 strength bonus, and the T2 analyzers provide 150 coherence and 30 strength bonus. Holy God what are these things? What kinds of data core or firewalls need such a powerful cracker to deal with?
For curiosity I ran into the wormhole as well to check out how the data/relic sites doing in it. The answer is nothing changed, still those cans and still those spawns.
BTW, I love the scanner now but there is a tiny little problem. Since there is now deep space probe every time I enter a new system searching for signals I've got to take a very good look on the background universe. Yet sometimes the red icon for unidentified signals are clustered by the back ground color and it is difficult to find out. I know CCP had put a digital white pad behind these signals but still not very helpful, and that digital white pad will stay at the fix position and won't go away. Once you start warping in this system the unidentified signal will move, but the digital white pad was still there. I think maybe CCP can put all these signals at the fringe of the screen like the sun or the planet or belt when you are not looking at them. If so we don't actually need that digital white pad anymore.
Also, the probe window has bug now. Once you choose the filter as "Show All", nothing would be showed in the list. At the moment I probing I need to change the filter to "Cosmic Signatures" to do the probing.

Or maybe, just maybe, they added these values to test the actual mechanics of it without frustrating their testers?

Is it really that hard to post in the feedback threads which the devs actually read?

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

It's because we love toying with you guys. Twisted





Not really! You are subject to the fact that we're not really ready to put stuff out just yet and are working furiously towards that. Updates to Singularity are happening independently of where we are at so what you get access to is pretty much a crap shoot. We'll let you know explicitly when there is something worthwhile looking at but thanks for checking it out anyway!

You know you're just rewarding the people that can't post in the official threads when you respond, right?
