EVE General Discussion

Seriously not knowing what can you collect until you effectively order the ship to collect it is ********.
It's not about entitlement, it's simply pointless and adding just another level of "complexity" to something that is already needlessly "complex".
You spend hours going through systems trying to find let's say Data Sites
Then you find a site and you scan it down.
Then you scan the individual shards for contents so you can have an idea if this is worth your next 30 minutes or so.
(Let's say you found some juicy Datacores)
The you have to hack it.
The loot spews out.
Then you have to quickly catch all the Parts containers that MIGHT have Datacores (the more you catch the better the chances to actually get one).
Only NOW - you don't even see the Parts containers and you simply click around like a blundering idiot hoping that your next choice will be a Parts container. Not to mention that if you don't click on one your ship will collect the selection, and not only you end up with shitloads of junk but also might miss the window to actually collect what you want.

EDIT: Add doing this in Low or Null knowing that you'll be ganked any second and well...I'd rather count hair wearing boxing gloves.

It's like you PvP guys having a "50% chance that this module will fire" in a fight.

We all love those.
It's just the recent "Huzzah! Some crap has been ejected from the shard - now try and guess and blind-click your way trough them to find the crap you're interested in" that has been added with those tooltips that screws it all up.

You kidding? why should they change it? I just want more nerfing on it is all. I like the whining over loot spew, makes explorers need to do more sites to make money, spending more time in the sites drifting vulnerable. I like the broken explorer system now. I already scrapped my exploration fleet long ago, frigs and T3's etc. I trained T2 torps and use my cov-ops cloaky skill still. I still make ISK from those sites, just not the way you do.
cya, Yim

What? Scattering containers? Tooltips over scattering containers? Devs approach to their game? They will remove it soon (soon means 1 month i presume, which means 1 month too late). Who cares? I hover mouse over gate and i get frame with "Gate". Game for idiots?

CCP is state of mind.

Sheesh bro..

You really have it in for "new players" don't you. Do you mind if I ask why?

After all, it's us "new players" that inject the game with enthusiasm, energy and money for ccps coffers.. all to make it better for you and your old pixels. Along with that, we are the gazelle to your lion, the fur seal to your great white shark, the colobus monkey to your troupe of chimps, the eviagra to your epeen. You should embrace us man!! :)

Also, have you heard of alts? Maybe you have one, or god forbid, even two. I'm guessing those alts are all different ages (none new), all with maxed skills of course, because you've been playing eve for so long..

All I wanted, was to engage in some dialogue over what is, all BS aside Webvan, and I know you agree with me, a horrific addition to the game. I don't think it's beneficial to anyone, but is especially bad when it comes to exploration and collecting those scatter cans.


Cheers

Don't worry, in a few weeks loot spew is removed, so this won't matter anymore.

Come on guys, the old hacking mechanic was boring as all hell. I quite like the mini-game. It takes effort and it's something to do rather than orbit and 500 and watching your module cycle. There's an element of faliure now which fits in nicely with the general direction of the game. Besides I also hunt in exploration sites and I get a lot more kills now because people don't move the game window away from their overview...

But yeah regarding the OP the tooltips do totally get in the way. Pls let us turn them off or remove them on the scatter cans.

Totally disagree. Exploration should be about finding new places and items. Not a place to fight NPC battleships. That is called fighting, not exploring.

It would be great if explorers could find close to unique items (something from a list of thousands of rare game objects that can only be found during exploration - say finding an ancient ship wreck.) Then he could take that item to another player who has trained to analyze certain aspects of the object which then must be taken to another expert for further analysis. Something like that would be great.

What is a hi-sec *****?

CCP has already announced that loot spew is going away. Give it a couple weeks.
