Signed. Remove it and give us exploration back, Odissey destroyed it.

That hacjing mini-game is basically a turn based Pac-Man. I can figure all these enegeneers, developers and game design working on it for month to produce what? An integrated Pac-Man!

I'd like to play EVE, not Pac Man.

Worst addition ever. Kills the will to explore. Makes a mockery of skilling up to do this work. We'll settle for the removal of the ridiculous loot rush process, but would prefer the whole hog gone.

Sign below if you are with me.

I like the new way. It feel like Im actually hacking something instead of just waiting for a cycle to complete.

Mini game is fine.
Loot spew is fine.

However the minigame gets a bit tedious in wh when there's 15-20 cans to hack. Also the impossible games are kinda dumb. Its especially noticeable in wh where all the games are the hardest difficulty and getting 4 or more virus suppressors in a row happen often.

The minigame is just a time sink like any other.

But is the the whole thing: pre-odissey exploration was a specific autonomous gameplay, used tohave his own technics, skill requirements, different ships and fitting; people had their own secrets and tricks, there were urban legends, sense of mistery, there were a culture. People was happy with it, and was the only decent PvE in EVE.

Odissey made everything trivial; skills and ship requirements are flatten out, you do everything with a standard fit, discovery scanner is dumb, and you are forced to play an external minigame in no way related to EVE.

This could be tollerable if was a new layer or entry-level for exploration, but instead they removed everything.

I hate the loot spew thing. I stopped doing exploring over it. I do not like the feeling if I am not quick enough on choosing the right cans I might loose out on the most valuable stuff. I did exploration for ISK and the chance at a rare mod, not to test my mouse clicking reflexes.

Hacking mini game is fun, but I also hate the fact you loose site of most of your screen. If I was in null id avoid this cause it makes it harder to watch whats going on around me.

Also since I can no longer run around high sec in my Proteus like I used to probing stuff down and running sites I have given up on this part of the game entirely. I used to like it but now I could care less about it.

Neat idea but ya I agree the thing needs to go, or at least rework the hacking mini game so it does not take over your screen.

The mini-game is ok, can be fun. For added entertainment with it, make some silly challenges for yourself while doing it.

The loot spew sucks though.

Where's the challenge if there is no loot rush? If the stuff is just ready for the grabs in a container that doesn't move, it's a lot less entertaining and unchallenging. Besides, from your frustration I gather that you try to catch every can that appears? How about not doing this and concentrating on the valuable cans? Also, without this minigame and thus pre-Odyssey, I was sitting sometimes up to 5 minutes on a Databank and was watching my Hacker run cycles like a mad dog in a cage. Is this what you like to have back? I don't.




That's also what I like to see. Hack into anchored POS to transfer ownership for example. Or to interrupt/sabotage processes. Or to do the same with station services or ihubs/ihbu upgrades. Hacking and sabotage everywhere! This would then also justify training Hacking/Analyzing to V.
