EVE General Discussion

...For me to poop on!


Dear lead designer, you are iterating the wrong bloody direction. It's like you are docked in a station trying to get out, but you are clicking the old undock location where the button you inexplicably moved isn't there any more.



To whomever who decided it would be a good idea to add to the game:

Really? It's irritating at best, totally frustrating at worst. And that's assuming you have a neutral to positive view on the hacking minigame. Plus the nature of the minigame and the rush to figure out what you need to get and get it doesn't mesh at all with the game or anything else in it to my knowledge. Usually devs try to make a game better. When they get feed back that a new idea is stupid, it sucks, etc. they really should consider why people are saying that. Sometimes the people who say those things are right.

I'm sorry but loot spew is new coke and I want classic coke back.

Also, it'd be nice if the hacking minigame gave me some options for what I'm looking for. I don't want to go to a data site and get carbon. Or scrap metal. Or a single data sheet... right now, I must say that this aspect of the expansion is full of data sheet.

Plus think about this logically. Who in the bloody right mind would spend all that money to hide 2 pieces of carbon and a blank data sheet in the middle of nowhere? That makes no sense when you think about it logically. If you are taking time to set up something like that, you're putting something in it that worth your time and effort.

This isn't about finding the holy grail, this is about data and relic sites having diarrhea in space.

I hated the spew container when watching it on youtube, but it's actually nice enough trying it myself.. Just focus on the good containers and don't pick up the scrap containers, that's my free advice.

I can imagine some people spasming over seeing their potential loot flying in all directions and disappearing into nothingness though :p but it's always been the nature of exploring, only now it's more visually obvious and taunting.

+1 I endorse this message.

Me and my corp mates had quite a bit of fun with it today, when we could actually find the sites at all. The hacking mini game was kind of fun too.

I learned to drink

When I was 5

Been drinking since then

And I'm still alive


Cause I was born to spew

Yes born to spew, baby

I was born to spew

And to date I'm not through

I rather like the hacking minigame and the loot ejection. Of course that might be because I made 100m off a blueprint I found in my very first one lol.
They are more fun to do with a friend so you can get them all.

If the loot was worth taking, it would be fine, I found 20mill in 3 hours in null sec.

• Why do rats warp to Asteroid belts but don't bring mining barges?
-> Because they want to kill miners (They are pirates after all).

• Why do they appear at gates, but never use them?
-> Because they gate camp. Gate campers never move.

• Why do they appear in high sec?
-> Because they are sneaky bastards. Having their own smuggler stargates etc.

It's not too hard to explain, imo. It doesn't even require a lot of lore.

One interesting note: Unlike the old system, where a sig would remain in system until you opened a can AND left grid, in the new system, the sig pops after you unlock the first can, which means that the window for hunting people without combat probes is actually kind of narrow (unless they pre-scan the sites and use them as bait).

I tend to blitz the closest of the easy-mode cans in a new site just to get my sig off the grid.
