but... that doesn't make it any less frustrating, and possibly more frustrating when you get a can that is supposed to have 12 different T1/T2 salvage types and you get 3+ junk items from parts and material cans in a row and all the rest start to disappear and you only end up getting like 2 out of the 12 by the end.
In all sites go for DATA containers first if BLUEPRINTS are present then -
Data Sites: PARTS (Decryptors & Datacores)
Relic Sites: PARTS & MATERIALS (Salvage T1 & T2)
Gas Sites: EQUIPMENT (Implants & Modules)
But yes I agree loot spew is frustrating. |

It would be nice if CCP or a member of the CSM would comment on these broken and obviously intensely disliked changes. But I guess that will not happen as some bright spark at CCP came up with this god awful idea in the first place.

I'm not quite sure what everyones whining about? How hard is it to click a little dot when its green. If you know what loot cans are which you can almost always get what you most want from the can when it ejects the loot. If you got everything they probably wouldn't have included as much in the cans to reduce profit. So who cares. If you're smart you'll do better than others, which is how things should be.
and yeah I have lost a few expensive things, like 320 mill skill-book but who cares, part of the deal. |

I hate loot spew. It's infuriating. and with can scanning or knowledge into can contents the whole thing becomes almost an exploit.
It really needs work. |

Went back to exploring again. The hacking mini-game is tolerable.
But man, the loot spew at the end is immersion breaking. You have to zoom out REALLY far to see all the cans, and squint as you move your cursor over each pixel, err I mean "can", looking for the right one to loot. And heaven forbid if you play Eve via a wireless or network connection, since the lag can cost you precious seconds and a few cans.
Horrible. |

I have been doing this for two months, I agree with what everyone is saying about the loot spew. I would like to also to point out the following:
1- In COSMOS/Drug sites, the cans are located inside dust clouds that obscure the view of the loot spew. In my opinion they simply did not test this inside dust clouds or other plex 'decor' options
2- Some items like reactions have been spotted in Equipment, Material and Data containers. Much harder to snatch up
3- Same mini-game for hacking and archeology means that one of them is just a huge time sink. |

I tested out the hacking mini game for the first time, didn't like it but didn't hate it, but abandoned the whole exploration thing after the loot spew. |

Absolutely hate it.
If players were getting too much loot before, why not just reduced the amount of loot in relic and data sites instead of punishing us with this repetitive strain injury inducing "mini-game" ? |

anyone having trouble with loot spew, I've found better results using this method:
1. cargo scan, identify if you need to grab data cans or not.
2. click on parts cans. When one is tractoring, identify the next part can to queue it up.
3. Search for other parts cans, or materials if you're in a relic.
4. For the last few cans only, start double clicking or pulsing your prop mod to get them.
Still annoying as hell, and only remotely justified as some kind of anti-botting thing.

The worse part is when cans spew out close to each other and it's near-impossible to check / click each separate can. Very bad design. |

I agree. The mini game is kind of nice to the point that it actually feels like you're accomplishing something instead of just waiting for a cycle to succeed. The loot spew is horrific though. |

I sound out of line, but I'd say I don't find the loot spew as strain-inducing and a stress generator as many seem to find. Could have something to do with playing Eve with a good mouse and on a 22-inch widescreen?
Personally I have other issues with the loot spew, e.g.: most of the cans are meaningless, both in data and relic sites. In data sites it goes like this:
- If the can had blueprints in it, pick a couple data containers.
- grab ALL the parts!
- ...and the parts ONLY, ignore the rest.
- if you didn't catch all decryptors/datacores, and/or if you have time left, grab some equipment, there's the remote possibility something is in there too.
In relic sites, on the other hand, it goes like this:
- If the can had blueprints in it, pick a couple data containers.
- grab ALL the parts!
- ...and the parts ONLY, ignore the rest (for now).
- if you didn't catch all juicy T2 salvage, and/or if you have time left, grab some materials.
- ???
- PROFIT!
...unless there are some spatial attunemet units in the mix, in that case (AFTER you're done with data and parts) you'd want to grab any and all containers within reach.
Can you spot the similarities?
I did a month of exploration, which is probably not statistically relevant, but not too few either, and I found all containers except data and parts to be virtually worthless.
Maybe something has to be done about this.
Another useful thing would be a skill which extends the lifespan on mini cans. I believe such a skill will be added in future expansions? Read about it somewhere, but can't remember where.
I have more issues with the hacking mini game, but that has his own thread.

I'm sure there's an implant that extends can life by 5 seconds.

I think it should be more random. Just eject the cans as generic cans. Then its pure pot luck whether you get good stuff or crap. Horrible idea you probably think, but I think it'd get rid of a lot of the whiners (they don't like non-consistent non-perfect un-reliable ticks) and leave exploration for the people who enjoy that score! feeling.. while increasing the value of the stuff you do loot as its availability would decrease dramatically. |
