Just returned to the game for the first time in six months to try the new exploration system.
And I love it. I was surprised when I came to the forum and everyone is bitching about it!
Seriously, it is just the right amount of difficult and exciting.
The minigame is not hard to do and you get two chances at it. I fail maybe one in seven cans and they pop for me. Oh well, eve is eve.
The fact that you actually can fail and it matter, you dont get the reward, make it fun!
Never mind the fact that you need to do it while also keeping a eye on local and the scanner to make sure nobody come and pop you in 0.0.
This might actually keep me playing the game now.
Thank you CCP for fixing the hacking and exploration systems. They were horrible before and no better than gun mining. Dont listen to the whiners that just want to warp in, pop some rats and warp out.
They have combat sites for that. |

Calling it 'exploration' is misleading. CCP killed exploration...it doesn't exist anymore.
They replaced it with what you now enjoy and that is fine but please do NOT call it 'exploration'. It would be nice if CCP introduced exploration again in the future.
How exactly was what they had before exploration instead of what they have now? It's basically the same thing.
Find site, scan site down, get into containers, receive loot.
Because, unless I remember completely wrong, it was the same before but you needed to strap guns on to keep the rats from popping you while you auto solved the containers.
Now you need to actually pay intention.
I would say it is working as intended. People complain it got more people into exploration. THAT WAS THE POINT! :p
I am so sorry your isk printing machine is no longer printing quite as insane amounts as before. Get over it. Adapt.
Isnt that what you used to say to highsec dwellers when stuff there are changes? :) |

All the sites are basically thrown at you the instant you enter system, hacking is **** easy, loot pinata system is annoying. Exploration ISK reward is pathetic because now everyone can scan them out in matter of seconds and everyone can just solo the **** out of all of them in a T1 frig since no rats. Making this basically worth it for only new players.
Minigame is fun, but everything else went to ****. Remove the sites from automatically appearing in scanner and we got a good start back on track.
Combat sites still give some profit at least. But they too are affected by the stupid ease of probing.
Two hundred mil for three hours of work is hardly noob only... |
