Wormholes

This about sums it up, any minigame regardless of how much fun it is in the beginning just becomes a mindless incredibly booring game.

If they really wanted to make it more interesting then they could at least just make it ONE can and ONE game that several people could co-operate to solve with some REAL challenge involved.

because as it is I didn't bother my bum to read any guides on this game I just randomly clicked on 3 minigames learned the rules and mastered the incredibly simple yet insanely clickfesty game they have made.

CCP not learning how to make things enjoyable still.

As to the isk argument that is the dumbest thing I have seen all day on EVE O(which does say alot) The intention of a game is for it to be fun. The idea isn't that the stuff that makes no isk should be fun while stuff that makes Isk should be booring. It should ALL be fun this is what we pay for. and this new minigame is NOT fun that is the one thing our incredibly argumentative alliance has ALL been able to agree on for once, not a single voice of dissent to be heard.

Be more fun if the game was some type of desktop defenders tbh, might as well be.

Having tried hisec/lowsec and also WH space Data & Relic analyzing I have to say that CCP have really screwed everyone over here. Sure I get a little kick out of the meta game but there is no reason why I would keep doing it because you get nothing from the cans.

They say they increased the amount in each can so that even if you only get half of the mini-cans on your own you will still get equal to what you got pre-patch. It couldn't be further from the truth.

There is no way I would waste time sitting at 0 playing a mini game all the while waiting to get ganked, all for the chance of getting some metal scraps .. it's just not worth it and people will soon learn this. Watch T3 prices go through the roof. This I believe is the real reason why this has been introduced in the first place.

If not, CCP have some fixing to do.

Yeah this change has totally ruined one of my favorite parts of the game. I like the fact that you can scan the cans to find out what is in them. I hate the fact that you can't get all the ejected cans by yourself. You need at least 2 or 3 people to guarantee you get what you scanned down in the can.

I agree the meta game sucks ballz. Total waste of time. I already have the skills to do this at the highest level possible with a T3. And even I loose a can from time to time. This may entertain a retard3d monkey for hours on end, but the average player will loose interest quickly.

This is something they could have done sooo much with. Instead they took a integral part of the game and totally took all the fun out of it. Your manual scanner probe skills meant something, you positioned the probes in your best way you could as fast as you could, then you got to a site before someone else. The competition was getting to a can first then watching someone hack a can you already hacked, just to get nothing. Now both using scanner probes and getting to a can first means NOTHING.

I give the new data and relic sites a ONE on a 1 to 10 scale. This is a totally fail in my book. In the end it is just one more reason to leave the game.

Thanks a lot CCP Fozzie

Im going back to gas mining.

Aaaaand I'll just run incursions. F8ck that noise.

That made my day ;D



And also to the whole hackking mini game thing, in general it isnt just click buttons until things happen, if you want to do it faster it takes a bit more strategy..... My loki does it slower than my friend does it in a drake, I stink. (to make mention a corpy in a legion does it faster than us both combined but still)

I like the minigame. I wish it was harder... maybe like having an antivirus chasing you through the areas you have already unlocked? When it catches you, your virus health begins ticking away.

As it is now, I have no chance of failing.

In my opinion, its all good to have the mini game. But OMG the can spewing thing completely ruins it. I did a c3 site solo just some minutes ago. Took me 25 min to clear rats, for about 70 mil worth of loot. Then I started hacking which took 35 min. If it hadnt been for a 15 mil drop in the last can, I only would have made 5 mil in 30 min. Thats not even worth the risk of sitting there open for ganks from other players. Make it back to lootable cans, but keep the minigame, its kinda okay...

Wow, I opened the mittani.com link and my eyes glazed over. Seriously, if you care enough about being leet that you need to bust viruses and shiz faster than anyone else, just write a damn bot for it already. otherwise, this is just punishment meted out to people who should be humping roids to drive down the price of trit so I can buy my Naglfar cheaper.

Got to do a Radar tonight for the first time since the patch.

It will be the last I do as well.

The mini game is complete garbage.

Having to do it a dozen times per site? No thanks.

Having just one can with all the sites loot in it I might consider, but even so, not likely.
