I was keeping my fingers crossed to maybe see a new spawn/item from datamining, like they did with the overdrive dana and gloves but all looks the same so far :/

would be a thousandfold better if the buildings were enter-able, but all in all it's good stuff.

I think there was an entire thread dedicated to this topic. Instead of complaining on DN1 for whatever purpose do what Mave does and just say, "Learn to root noob." LOL!
Also /ignore is my best friend.

Agreed even if the layouts are the same as the others, Entering building would be very nice but that patch for that will prob be a bit high, Hence this patch was not that big thats prob down to the fact that you cant enter buildings , But whatever im happy as it is for now
Going back to what Satta said, Damm yeah theres a few faces in there i anit seen in 3 years !!!! Good to see all you guys back , Hope you stay

Datamine is awesome. I haven't explored the entire area yet nor tapped nodes (though I hear they grant a ridiculous amount of Info per tap), but I did PvP for about an hour and it was a lot of fun when everyone is red. The FFA will freshen up some of the stale PvP we have been seeing at Mara for over 3 years now. Though it's kinda tough to auto target.. usually I just tab through targets, but when most of those targets are your own Faction, it gets kinda tough.  I think what makes Datamine so great and unique is the amount of uneven terrain. Actual hils, bridges, broken streets, buildings, etc. Like Puck said, it would even be sweeter if buildings were accessible, but that's no biggie really seeing as the area itself is huge. Hopefully Rarebit and the gang expand on this and like others have said perhaps add a unique boss or some sort of quest for some new and rare loot, which will be a lot harder to aquire since it's FFA, so only teams can compete with the boss/quest and other hostiles. Territory battles would also work!!

They did good roaming around killing at random, I'll definitely give them that Satta, but some of them took things way to seriously.
Protip: If one person laughs at you and keeps running, their probably just trying to get a reaction from you. Sending them tells just lets them know they won " />
yes, a protip indeed, exactly why I put you on ignor in 01 the other night. Annoying tells.

You and mittens weren't doing the exact same thing? Plus for the record, that night TC were fighting each other for fun, staying near the entrance protected us for opposing org members. But look, this isn't an argument. If you think sending smack talk in tells is lame, just don't do it your self. Thats all.

Nah, I'm actually messing around. Does everything I say have to be serious and "*CENSORED*" worthy?
I've had a good time with FFA/Datamine so far, and I'm generally happy with it. It was honestly just a teasing comment.

Well, after spending about two hours in Datamine, getting pwned by lilTwie twice, and a whole zerg of Machinists....it was awesome. Running scared, tapping nodes where I could. It was like trying to survive on a deserted island packed with hostile natives. Leaving with 35 mil extra info for minimal effort helps too. I'll be back with empty money bags, and a load of Health Pill 5s.

Yeah having accesible buildings would be cool. Imagine you are just chilling in a building looking out the window and you see a dataminer run by. The hunt is on. Alot of place to have ambushes, or territories to hold onto. A boss on the helipad or in the lake or something. Rotating loot that is hard to get. Maybe even a way to tally up kills to death ration in just that construct. I am telling you if just these simple things were done their subscription base would explode and stay that way for a while. Without these additions I don't know how long datamine will hold everyones attention. People will soon get tired of the TC death squad ganking everybody and will only come in when nobody is there to datamine. They will then go back to Mara doing whatever it is they do over there.

I think its been overdue...but I like it.
Managed to duck and dive away from various people and managed to do abit of Sight seeing. Nice size. I can see alot of events happening in this area which is nice. The only thing missing is some kind of collection/mission in this area, that would top it up nicely. Overall I'm dead impressed. Nice work guys.
One more thing? Did they have to call it Datamine?
