Thoughts on the code analyzers?

[Mr.Potato]

I find it ridiculous that you actually lose the consumable item if you fail. What do you guys think? Have you find it difficult to do the higher tier ones?

[SidethSoul]

I feel it's pretty fked up to punish time spent farming the code analyzers just for them to be lost to the minigame.

It's pretty clear cut the game wants you to pay up instead.

[BorkedLeg]

Yeah these code analyzers are also broken as hell. I failed mine on the last ring and it showed my button press in the middle of the stupid area. Fix this junk system.

Horrible ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ minigame. Whoever decided to randomly change what button you need to press can go die in a fire quite frankly -_-

[PizzaDeliveryBoy]

They are annoying as hell.
I can't say for sure how many but I've lost a lot of them for nothing in the end because minigame has insanely short success ranges and sometimes game doesn't register my input precisely. So 9/10 times you click either too fast or too late. Plus to that failed attempts take away your remaining time. Plus high level ones don't really give you that much time to make it in time since they require 5 or 6 correct inputs. Plus to all of that If you're unlucky, the input range might appear right next to the clock and in order not to fail you will have to wait out the entire circle to try and get it successfully on the next circle (and your time is limited).
With all details combined I have a feeling that this minigame is basically that droid on the base that should help you with info (but he doesn't talk and his subtitles run way too fast, so good luck) but re-incarnated as a minigame.
Maybe I'm just a filthy westerner and I don't play perfectly, so I find all these strange game-design decisions... weirdly unbalanced.

unless you got the enzo dude, dont bother. ♥♥♥♥♥ bugged as in the red line was dead center but it still failed.

enzo? does having him make those minigames easier?

He revealed the secret!

[Aurelia]

ok im actually blind. they work perfectly normal but they alternate between left and right mouseclicks. i just did one pretty easy.

and yeah enzo has a passive that slows down the code stuff a lot

[Risko]

Whats even worse than failing the mini game is farming 25 of the epic descendant crafting materials that requires you to farm the Code Analysers in the first place, the drops are actually abysmal.

[Nikusui 😗]

Wow, apparently enzio passive does. The more you know. Thanks aurelia.

[KillScreen]

Is just boring that you have to go for more materials.

[Geist]

This will probably be the last thing I do in the game. I can find them easy enough but only having one try per item is not good.

[Negligent Discharge]

Yeah the higher tier ones are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. They move too fast, the zones are too small for the fact that latency plays into the equation too, and the amount of time you lose on a miss is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid. Missing once totally ♥♥♥♥♥ you over.

[Awt]

WTF is this masochistic game mechanic. Of all the things, this might actually be the thing that makes me quit the game. It's way too punishing.

The hoops you have to go through.

1) pixel hunt the map and do some weird platforming ♥♥♥♥ ( in the desert) to get to the chest.
2) farm 3 different keys to use on random rarity chests
3) do a minigame that seems really hard (compared to warframe's lockpick minigame).
4) it consumes the key even on failure.
5) you have to do this COUNTLESS TIMES for different things, on different maps.

HOLY F*CK just put it at 3% drop on bosses! This is a looter shooter, there's barely any shooting involved in this whole process.

[Nalzir]

the farming on them is garbage and needs to be fixed
