Upcoming Feature and Change Feedback Center

Accuracy now seems to be similar to gaining standings, what you get depends on how close to 100 you are (with diminishing returns). Which is ok.

We're still doing this, though, which I found hilarious.

Ideas:

1. We can write notes on other pilots' Show Info pages, to keep track of behavior. If you're not doing so already, CCP, start keeping track of the choices each character makes for Project Discovery, so you can easily differentiate between those who pick cytoplasm 99% of the time, and those who seem to pick whatever choices seem appropriate. You can build all sorts of statistics from this, including how "unusual" each choice is when it's made.


2. Project Rediscovery: the option to go through the samples again, but with the consensus visible, to agree or disagree with the consensus. For high accuracy players, or if you can somehow detect those of us who are actually trying to be accurate rather than to game the system.


3. The samples can be categorized:

- 1 or more choices at 100% - maybe these can be reviewed and converted into practice / accuracy slides, since we ALL seem to agree on the choices

- 1 or more choices at 50% - 90% - there's some sort of consensus

- 0 choices at 50%, but more than 8 choices at less than 20% - there's complete disagreement - something is confusing about the sample; maybe some of these can be reviewed and published on the website as contrast examples, or explanations on how to get the answer via elimination.

- not yet rated - you can keep a tally so you can see our progress.

The above and unlock the image controls on the result screen please. Right now it a bit of "You, Sir, were wrong and you'll never know why!"

I would guess that since the blue is quite strong the underlying green is weak, so the strongest green signal is as indicated. Just imo though.

The splotchy uneven sized nature of the green is a good sign of nuclear speckles rather than Nucleoli. Those two can be one of the hardest to tell apart.

I have been really impressed with the whole Project Discovery thing and if anything will make me resub this would be it, as it feels like I'm actually doing something real.

Give them a couple weeks and then switch to "no more Project Discovery until they fix it" mode. Nothing more damaging than a rewards system that's unfair or that rewards wrong choices.

I just got around to trying this out, went part way through the tutorial. One thing.

How are we suppose to find the impairment in a cell when we have no good cell to reference.

Doesn't seem to realistic. Am I missing something?

The submission history is empty for everyone; they removed that functionality. We used to get rated by the Project Discovery people and that's how our accuracy increased; now the system automatically rates your accuracy by giving you the tutorial slides all over again and if you guess them correctly your accuracy goes up, otherwise it goes down. So the submission history no longer matters.

TL:DR >>This post is one big sloppy thank you for this wonderful game. Skip to the end for the actual question.

From the beginning I have supported project discovery for its purpose and a fascination with the microscopic world.

From my experience so far I find it disheartening that the system can and will be gamed however I am certain methods will arise and adapt to optimize for the best results for the hardworking researchers that will actually make use of the results to refine our knowledge to be less of a guessing game in whatever we MMO player assist in.

Now I may be sorely mistaken in the things I am about to suggest but there are some functions that I feel would at least allow serious project discovery players to get a little more satisfaction from a job well done.

I often find that sometimes I have made an obvious mistake only after checking all the marks.

If there could be a way to report that I am truly mistaken in my result so that I cannot knowingly skew the results I would be thankful. I would still gladly accept the consequences of reductions in accuracy or the nullification of any gains I would have stood to earn. Letting obviously bad results through does not feel right and if I could make reparations I would.

TL:DR >>Can there be a button for reporting that a mistake has been made but it was realized only after submitting.
