Is this how you do it? Using random code to please the gamer population. Why not make it so that your ship has 5% to blow up if you overload your modules. Come on, this random array programming stuff can use some changs here and there.

Oh and don't get me started on those restorative nodes. Da hell.. I get 5 of them in a row... what's wrong with you.

It's a Mini Game. This is EVE now World of Warcraft. We don't use face roll mechanics here to get epic gear. We actually work towards our Epic L33T ships and Toys in them.
You want hand outs go back to Warcraft. If not Welcome to EVE it's a game of Patience, and Chess combined.

It's not a matter of "handouts" its a matter that in many sites, whether you are even capable of progressing to ompletion is determined by how many restoration nodes, firewalls, or suppressors it decides to spawn, about 80% of sites i have trouble with, another 15% are difficult, and then theres 5% that if you do ANYTHING but take every EXAT step in an EXACT PATH, then there is no way to complete the system because of a fuckton of virus suppressors or restoration nodes, and a lack of utiities.

thats not "working for it" thats "i hope this one is actually completable"

(and what is aggravating is, the difficulty of the pattern seems to have no correlation whatsoever with the lever of the site being done, or the contents of said site)

I think the silicone in your **** is leeching into your brain there my friend.

You better transfer all your assets to me before your mind goes completely.

Clicky fest for that yes it sucks, could post dozens of imgs like that one and the number of T2 bpc's I've seen go pouf. I don't like this randomness thing at all neither but heh, it's Eve don't search for any sort of logic.

The problem I am having is some node maps are just impossible to do, no matter how you play.

I have higher chances killing a Titan in my Rifter then clearing a node map with 5 restorative nodes.

CCP Soundwave decided that simply cycling your hacker module and letting your character's skills take care of the hacking was too passive, so now you have a more interactive and entertaining hacking system.

You can tell it's entertaining: people are posting about it! The more you post on the forums about it, the happier CCP Soundwave gets. Right now he's probably giddy with glee over all the entertainment the players are getting out of the hacking minigame.

Of course CCP Soundwave can't distinguish between entertainment and torture. He probably thinks they're the same thing.

in 2007 i've thought it's a sci-fi simulator, not an "e-sports" game. I'm not a teenager, how would i like it much?

The minigame is great, it's just the random coding in some maps. They are not possible to complete. You get 5 restorative nodes, you get barely any goodies to recover health.


Pooof, there go 20 intact armor plates :(

It is more a matter of perspective.

Start the day off slow and taper off from there.
