Denied Remove cooldown from cancelling hacking on a training keypad

[Trevor Philips]

What does this suggestion change/add/remove:

Removes the hacking cooldown on training keypads if you cancel the hack.

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:

Not that im aware of.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):

Less time wasting when practicing and less annoying.

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:

Cant think of any.

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:

Because it makes life easier for those who want to practice hacking keypads. If i mess up and want to restart, i dont want to wait every single time for the cooldown to be over. Annoying and pointless imo.

I pray for your sense of patience

This seems like the cost outweighs the benefit - sure you can practice hacking 20 seconds earlier, but it's not worth the development time at all to implement and configure that

use the 20-30 seconds to reset to be ready to try again. if you dont want the cooldown, don't fail.

fail = cooldown

dont want cooldown = dont fail

No point in not having this, just another thing that if accepted, will be added to the endless backlog of shit to be added.
Additionally, perhaps if this was made as a config for keypads, maybe make hacking these keypads silent? Not sure how that would work since I believe the vwar_hacker is the thing generating the sound, could be wrong.

the implementation? yeah, no?

>add a flag to a keypad to override the hacking cooldown
>add internal check in the TE-5 to check if that keypad has a hacking cooldown override
>flag now needs to be editable in the keypad config
>test implementation
>code review
>implementation
>setup

Hell nah, if you're trying to hack a keycard on clearance, it can be a pretty tough puzzle. Unless you're facing a problem, just keep practicing. That's why cooldowns exist.

Just like

use the 20-30 seconds to reset to be ready to try again. if you dont want the cooldown, don't fail.

fail = cooldown

dont want cooldown = dont fail

TE-5 will not change because if you cancel the puzzle and then reset it, you'll activate a cooldown. To be fair, this makes the puzzle easier, but it also increases the chances of it being more difficult.

true

Better suggestion is to add a small screen to the TE-5 that if its on cooldown because you fail a hack it will show subway surfers or a TikTok feed for people who are impatient

Suggestion Denied

---

Hi @Trevor Philips ,

Thanks for taking the time to make a server suggestion.

The Content Team has chosen to deny your suggestion due to the following reason(s):

Due to the way that the keypads work, this would require a fair bit of development time only to save approximately 20 seconds and therefore will be denied.

Your suggestion will now be locked and marked as denied.​
