I noticed something missing in the developer notes from the latest patch. Basically, it was missing the one thing that everyone asked them for.
Were we expected to just look at the other stuff and go "Squirrel!"? Nullsec in a Nutshell: http://nedroid.com/comics/2006-08-24-2155-arrrdino.gif |

This is not summer. The latest patch was not the summer expansion. |

This.
The summer expansion does not even have a name yet, we are still getting Rubicon updates. |

Hacking sites launch their loot into space. It scatters and despawns after 30 or so seconds.
Not the greatest mechanic. Good idea on paper, but not practical in the real world.

CCP only said summer for one or maybe both of 2 reasons:
1) They hope we forget about it and they can go about their business adding mroe minigames adn deployables to everything 2) they ran out of ideas for meaningful features to add/improve, so they are now considering the REMOVAL of features content worthy of its own expansion.
in short, maybe 30% of odyssey was actually good, the rest shouldnt have happened. |

The only conclusion is that they probably won't update the mechanic as part of a winter expansion. But as for which summer, hopefully this coming one, but I'm not going to assume. That way I can't be disappointed.

Loot flying in all directions also makes it hard to solo explore without losing most of your loot.
This may perhaps have been intentional as a means of rewarding co-operative play. If so it has not worked, partly because the sort of player that likes to explore is rarely a fleet focused person.
The mechanic is a real bonus for ninja looters of course. |

Actually the word was 'hopefully'. :)
No squirrels, sorry OP.
I find that without a good mob to provide one for them, most people would have no mentality at all. |

Regarding loot spew, apparently the average APM and mouse related micro is markedly lower in the EVE population than most other games. The amount of whine about loot spew was pretty surprising to me. I mean that sincerely. Apparently it is a real problem for many people to handle the loot spew.
I dont understand it, and can't relate to it, but from the sheer volume of the whine I do accept and recognise that these people are indeed having serious problems dealing with it.
According to comments by the Dev who is involved with the loot spew changes, she said in a related thread to the gist of: -Loot spew will be removed -Loot tables will be improved
So less effort, for greater reward.
A recipe for disaster imo. I was not impressed. |

I had one objection, stuff despawning in space, like carbon in can, going poof. Since when carbon is so horribly fragile? Spewing not so loved too, i would throw cans in the hacked container. Then cans with further locks that go boom if you fail hacking I would understand, but this? Edit signature? What's the point? |

The different cans contain different kinds of loot. You can cargo scan the hacking can before you hack and know exactly what is inside. Usually i am on my way to the next hacking container with most of the spew in the air as i already have the valuable stuff. It absolutely doesn't need a second person. Money at its root is a form of rationing. When the richest 85 people have as much wealth as the poorest 3.5 billion (50% of humanity) it is clear where the source of poverty is. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/20/trickle-down-economics-broken-promise-richest-85 |

in short, maybe 30% of odyssey was actually good, the rest shouldn't have happened. You have a rather limited imagination it seems. I can think of quite literally hundreds of other reasons ranging from reasonable to ludicrously absurd. I'll leave these here though as alternatives:
3. They fell it necessary to discuss possible alternative solutions rather than changing it straight back to standard can openage with no further consideration. 4. They want to run changes past the CSM to ensure what the propose as a solution fits with what the playerbase wants, and want to wait until after fanfest and the CSM vote to make that decision.
