EVE General Discussion

New mini-game to actually hack into the system is fine. I'd rather see 2 different mini-games, because it's kind of non-immersive to be digging up artifacts by exactly the same mechanism used to break into computer systems, but maybe that is planned for later.

New loot pinata is not - to the point that it turns me off from hacking altogether. I've spent 2 days doing the training tutorials and doing some sites to see if I just was missing the point, and no... I just really don't want to play Super Mario Galaxy.

I'll check back in a few weeks to see if the system changes. If not, I have an alt with level 5 skills that is going to be very permanently unemployed.

Intentional. :)

Digital Circuitry - Data Site... is this intentional that it hasn't been changed? it still has rats, gates and everything... it's in sansha space... I filled a bug report.

Thanks for any and all bug reports it makes tracking problems down much easier. We're actually going to do a pass on the distribution and loot for the next release.

Would have been nice for the FF presentation to allude to that. We could have stocked up on relics, datacores and decryptors due to shortages because frankly the time sink is too big in the same way our k-space counterparts dumped their stockpiles due to the ease of access and soon to be overabundance.

Once again CCP demonstrates that w-space is the red headed step child. Can't wait for other upcoming changes to w-space to make long term habitation all but impossible as CCP has stated several times over the years following its inception. I suppose, if, what I and other's suspect, its total butcuss that there's no reason you can't make it so.

Need more details about what excatly you are about to change, or a small devblog

Another thing i noticed today, those nodes you click to reveal the path in the hacking minigame, today they've been a bit laggy or something, as when i press one node nothing happens, and i can keep on pressing it and nothing happens, but if i press another node, suddenly both unlocks. Anyone else noticed that?

Message to the DEVs, you broke the game for me with the new semi-automatic-we-give-it-all-up-front-without-effort-from-you exploration system.
I seriously regret having dedicated two years and a half to EVE when i realize now that i am seen as a number.
Real explorers are a low minority while the afkish mission runners and miners a big majority, so what if the few explorers leave EVE because of the new system, right?
The majority of the afkish mission runners and miners wil be happy, now there is one more thing they can do with close to no effort and nearly afk.
I know my three accounts which i will not renew at not much to you, three new players will make it up for that fast, but i think the players deserved to be treated as more than one number.
I am not a gamer, btw, EVE was the only game i played.
be well

Mostly - I feel the same as Fon above.

I had a bad feelings about all this "making things easier" (they were already easy for any person with minimal IQ and imagination) and better, nicer or so. However I understand company needs of enlarge number of players, even if it means making part of game infantile, filling it with useles "nicest" stuff (at last there should be option to disable these "nicest jumps" part and other minor details). Personally I really don't like to be forced to "beign more happy".


Most of my fun from exploration - excitement from finding stuff and effort needed to do it, all this "maybe there and maybe not" vanished. It becomes like minning or other activity such type. Jump, autoscan, deploy, ... *yawn*.

Exploration demanded skills, effort, dedication and patience - was somewhat "elite part" of the game (like other uncommon and not easy things to archieve) and opposite to "the big things" it was archieveable even alone or with small band of trusted friends - not easy thing in MMO, but many possibilities was this strong part of game which leads me there. Now - most of this is gone.

"Minigames"... well next step will be QTE-like fight, minning minigame, salvaging minigame? Wait! - undocking minigame. The last idea seems to be really urgent.

There're thousands of similiar games, more or less populated - why you make EVE just the same?

Absolutely.
