Glad to see you guys back again :) I've done a lot of Project Discovery; I have earned my first combat suit and working on my second and have 97.4% accuracy. I'd like to see the tutorial enhanced to show examples of exactly what to look for in the green layer. i.e filled nucleus = Nucleus, nucleus with holes = nucleoplasm etc.
ReplyDeleteThe mouse-over windows are not well laid out; you constantly need to "mouse-off" and wait for them to go away to reach other hexes.
The change in scoring means you only need to *really* pay attention to the low numbered slides, because they're the ones that will change your accuracy, which is a shame. I hope they'll re-include comparison with the players' choices, but perhaps limit it to only those players with a high accuracy.
A specific tutorial about what is, and isn't, cytoplasm appears to be necessary! They probably have enough data by now to see what other common mistakes we're making, and the tutorial could reflect that. They might even link to a video, like the new in-game CCP tutorials, to address them.
Overall I'm really glad CCP included this and I hope we, the players, do well enough to repay the effort that HPA have put into this project.
Maby Jove went full Skymother or something like that(WH chain to a diffrent galaxy)
ReplyDeleteLove episode glad ur back. when HPA_Dichroic mentioned they have a dictionary site. TELL THEM TO PUT A LINK ON PROJECT DISCOVERY WINDOW. would be so user friendly to have the link right there to click for the dictionary if you want to know more when your in a sample in the game.
