EVE General Discussion

So because CCP added a level of difficulty and interaction - it is too much for you to do. Wow...just wow...

Here is a better example of how to complain. Less words, more funny.

I think people would be nicer if it weren't for the fact that these changes have been talked about, demo'd, made available on sisi, and videoed for weeks now. So you wake up and all the sudden its harder and scream and pound your desk?

Don't worry. Even now you can google the mini game and find walk throughs and strategies that will take all the guess work, and wonder, out of the sites.

Since your liked both exploration and PVP, here's a tip for your future endeavours in exploration and PVP:

You don't have to do the minigame, you need a cloaky ship (Recon or T3 will do fine), fit the new scanning modules as you see fit.
Scan down sites as you did before Odyssey, moreso if there's someone else in system.

Warp to scanned out sites and grab as many cans you can from someone that indeed do the minigame, or just kill them.
There exploration and PVP in the same run.

Honest answer to your post is based upon one part. "can't do these sites..." the mini-game part -- yet.

It's new and isn't well understood. As it is explored, experimented with and documented it will become just as easy as most other aspects of the game you do know and understand. I'd bet you studied a crap ton of web info on how to work probes when you got started using them for the first time - that info isn't available... again: "Yet".

The thresholds that make it possible or almost impossible to do the cans will become well known and laid out but this will probably take a week or 2.

In the meantime, chill out a bit and relax. Mutter, blow off some steam by blowing up some ships and what not - or join in on figuring it out if that's what floats your boat.

This part won't be too tough to deal with "long term" - though it may be found to be annoying over time. This is a wait and see issue but the frustrations of "newness"... Been there, done that - its not uncommon so give it a bit of time.

With hacking 5 I have no trouble whatsoever breezing through this mini game (low sec sites).

Having said that, I must say that it is basically a click-fest in an annoying pop-up window, which ends in a full ****** loot pinata. This has been heavily criticized from the very start.

The mini game in itself would be tolerable, if it wasn't for the loot explosion and frantic grab for vanishing containers in the end. This is simply not a worthy goal to pursue. It's a truly miserable experience.

Sweet merciful crap.

The expansion has been out for less than 12 hours and you are already raging and screaming? FFS Dude.

You and that Jacob Muvila should take your act on the road. One screaming because he is not getting instant bacon and the other screaming for compensation due to ineptitude. It's a double act. If you find a couple more of you clowns on here you can tour as a group.

My sig says it all.

Difficult in the same way winning the lottery is difficult. So from a video game standpoint not really.

E: But as far as killing exploration no, however CCP has pretty much changed it from a profession to just another activity.
