The Hacker Project - a free online game

Now I have read though this post and a lot of sugestions have been made. I do not think that limiting research is a good idea. if you want to research for 1000 hours then you are going to have to protect that server. I have had a server running research for over 1000 hours now and it has never been cracked. Now if you are using your main server for research then it is easier for people to find your IP and crack it.

One sugestion I would make would be this right now when you overload password break .35 up to around 1.4 the resourses you use are the same as running a 1.4. here is an example.
Special Password Break  1.30368 / CPU 2607 / MEM 162960 This is a  0.358154 overloaded
 Password Break  1.43307 / CPU 2866 / MEM 179134 This is not overloaded

So as long as I have the resources to run a higher password break I do not need the higher break to crack someone. What I would suggest is that it when you overload a lower version the resources to run it should be doubled so I would have to have twice the resources.

Yes lets hope to have a round free of major changes

I can agree with that as well a beta test for a couple of weeks to work out the bugs would be nice.

I myself say end this round I mean there are always going to be bugs as long as the game keeps changing.

With what has been changed in the game this round it has totally changed the game and how it is played. It is very limited now on ways of making money. I have servers that can do tons of research but without the income of a farm it does not do any good. I am at a point where doing research is not cost effective. By the time I get a decent income going on servers the ip's are going to change. and I will have to work from ground 0 again.

There really has to be a way to set up a base income (a farm) to substain research and hardware upgrades and as of now that is not going to happen untill the next round. the robber software will not be there untill then.

I do agree with you Gin that the round should be ended by the players the ones that are active in the game. I do not think that major updates that change the game play should be implimented in a current round. If Emi wants to make changes it should be at the start of a round not in the middle of one. If he wants changes to be test he can have another server to run them and put some players on it to try out the changes.

The only way to stay with this round as I see it is to reset the server back before the fraction update. I do  not think that is going to happen so we might as well move on with what we have and start a new round.

Now you say you will not lose connection virii now when you change your IP on your farm. The thing is what good is a farm if you can not collect any money from it. Is it going to be updated next round or in the future to where you will be able to have a farm and take the money from a targeted fraction?

Well as for me I have put a lot of work in this round. Now for the last part of this roound before the fractions update it was boring for me. Since the fraction update it has totally changed the game I feel that this round sould end and let us continue onto the next with the new updates.

I do understand that there are going to be bugs. But we will all be starting off fresh. End round and move on.

The one good thing about this post is that I was thinking of changing fractions at some point to earn different abilities. I thought that you would keep whatever you earned from any other fraction. What I did not know was that I will not be able to increase that ability when I change fractions. Thanks Emi

Well that is good to hear not that I was ever going for the reward to get to the top 10. I Just like to do my best and get there on my own. I heard that people used bots but never worried about them I myself have never used a bot kind of takes the fun out of the game play. Of course the next round will be interesting because the gameplay has changed a bit. I believe it will not be quite as boring as the end of this round before the changes were made.

You are going to have to be pretty active to get and stay in the top 10.

Congrats Donn on making the 500 Mill in power. 

Well I did not even notice That I had beat you to 300 million. Thanks Jager

Donn you did put a lot of thought into it and it does sound good. There does need to be a limit placed on top players from advancing way out of reach. And I do believe that something has to be done about the secert servers changing IP's it is happening way to fast right now.

Here is a thought I want to throw out there put a limit based on power or rank on what servers you can install viruses. Or another way of looking at it or doing it is limit the # of viruses that you can have outside of your farm to give others a chance to install some. Just some thoughts running through my head.

Now I just started playing Hacker Project I have enjoyed it so far but I have gotten to a crossroads where AP is killing my growth. it cost to much AP to do the normal things within the game. The max you can have without buying any with real money is 5000 and you only get 1440 a day. Right now I can only install or activate 2 2.0 Fileshare"s in a single day and I can not do anything else because I will not have anymore AP points.

It does not make any since to crack secert servers unless I am looking for better software to download. I can see that since the secert servers's ip's have been changing that mission are not being done anymore and the missions that cost over 20k can never be accopmlished because there is not enough time before the ip changes again. viruses are not being installed because it is not cost effective anymore.

It is getting kind of boring for me because I am not able to do much without any AP's. I use to go through and crack all the secert servers, do the missions, install viruses and so forth and stay busy. Also research diferent files to upgrade them. Now that I am working on building my income up I am not able to do the other things within the game.

I just can not multi task like I was before to get where I am. Now it seems that I can work on building my income, if I am not doing that I can work on researches or I can go around and do missions and so on...

I thought I would just put in my two cents about the game as it is right now.
