All good changes as far as I'm concerned. Special thanks for making mag sites worth doing again.

--- CCP Punkturis has added a minimise function to pop-up messages in dungeons.

Nice.

Punkturis, is there any chance you could also have a look at the 'close' ('x') function on normal windows... it currently seems like a 50/50 chance these days that when you mouse-over it, that it's going to vanish just as you're about to click it, then you have to move the mouse away and back again to get the 'x' to re-appear... Frustrating :(

Damn all these edits... too many questions... ;)

Can you guys say something about the 'distribution' of all this new stuff...? Is it being confined to Null, for example?



there was a whole megathread on the close window issue, it's been fixed now \o/

Just DED complexes, or similar things, like Wormhole sites...?



Considering that trit is 0.01m3 as well, and there's 500 trit (I think) in perfectly refined scrap metal, I can see the market for it opening up. Nice compression ratio.

You're quite the optimist...

This will stop players cloaking within dungeons to stop them from despawning and by extension, respawning elsewhere. This feature will greatly help players who run exploration sites and also alliances who have upgraded their hubs to have more exploration sites.


Excellent!

Are we going to see this mechanic added to the existing static DED sites? Or at least having the static sites using it to respawn elsewhere in the same system? Be a great way to stop people afk farming them, especially the ones requiring keys to get past the final gate.

Or is it sitll on the cards to remove all statics?

Team BFF - another great job it seems : )

It would be nice to know if there is (are) any other plans though and details just because I think most will point out and I will have to agree (plexes and anomolies) have felt neglected for SO LONG.

I remember being part of that big long discussion thread a few months ago as to the major things so any other details or plans would be great to know and (or) some more examples of what to see.

I think a lot of people, myself included, don't really know what to expect as far as plexes and anomolies in general anymore so any extra details or examples to "wet our whistles" and get the word out would be appreciated for those of us who do not live on Sisi.

Low sec? WHs? or just null included in this?

Thanks and great week.

would be nice if Grav sites despawned after a chunk of mining time. (though exactly how you do it is the problem)


I've scanned down a few where all that was left was one rock, with next to nothing in it (few hundred units)

reviewing the average payout for anomalies and increasing their values. You will see more NPCs in anomalies and, best of all, more ISK in your wallet!


If a player is already receiving the max ISK per tick he can with is skills, this is, he maximized the isk return on anomalies, more NPC's are not going to help anything. You just have more rats to kill and will take longer to finish an anomalies since you cant kill them faster! In the end, you get same isk but spend more time on same anomalies! If you really wanna boost them and make us raise more isk, you need to boost the bounties on the individual rats!

And I would suggest giving a 'bigger' buff to the low-end anomalies like hub's and stuff like that to make the crappy space and crappy anomalies less crappy but keeping the hing-end anomalies the gold mine!


But that doesn't factor in time you aren't in an anomaly, does it? So with more enemies you are spending a larger percentage of your total time earning ISK.

It's going to up the risk quite a bit if it apples to wormhole anoms -- waiting for the site to despawn was/is a damned useful way to tell if someone's lurking in the site and waiting for your salvager. (Yes, there's ways around it, but it at least weeds out the lazy ambushers.)

This is nice since magno sites and analyzers more specifically have been nearly useless in anything but C5,6 wormholes.

When I was new to this game I started a second account and trained a toon specifically for Archaeology only to find out it was a worthless profession luckily that toon has become my main mission runner but still kinda sucked the wind out of my sails so to speak.
