The Hack Box

(sereNADE) #1

Main hack objectives take too long or require such strategy that would be rare to find or pull off in a pub.

Hack boxes, should they be removed or time out after reasonable period of time?

I am retarded. I should have created the option to reduce the hack times =/\

I think it’d be better if they left the hackbox times as is right now… however the enemy would need an operative to COUNTER-hack the progress bar and then once it’s taken to 0% that an enginner would then gain the ability to remove it or else the enemy can begin to re-hack as soon as they’re back in range.

Im voting they take off the hack box, but progress is kept, but it takes longer than it does now to plant a hack box, hacking takes so long and the operator cant fire or do much except run, then his progress loses about 80% of speed after about 5-10 meters away

Hacking objectives are fine, just get more than one Operative on the hack and keep them well defended.

Totally agreed, doesn’t really make sense that Engineers are able to take down the hack % itself with their spray thing, though it does make sense that they can remove the box itself.

at least some of us agree it should be tweaked or changed in some way. i’d be happy with the hack duration reduced if the hack box can be removed the way it is now. i raged today trying to hack after escorting the bot =D

Quickfix: Slow the speed engineers can unhack the lower the percentage gets.

“The games been out for 4 days. People just haven’t learned strats yet.”

I agree. Nobody really knows what they’re doing yet.

I think either a SLIGHT increase in hack speed, or a SLIGHT decrease in speed for Engineer counter-hacking.

Not both, and not a major change.

But hacking is currently a pretty huge challenge, so I think it would help to be made slightly easier.
