EVE General Discussion

Hi.

I thought I had read that the drop rate of pirate BPCS was goanna b nerfed and that the change of getting a high end 10/10 escalation was lowered ....

So BPCS change lowered and change on escalations lowered ?

Did it also say EVERYTHING ELSE that drops also lowered ?

Nothing nothing drops escalation after escalation only the overseer boxes ..so Too make 80 mill when you buy escalations on contract for 130 m ..you Have to spend 45 min doing a 10/10 risking a 2.6 bill ship ..

ccp stop flying your over weighted staff all over the world to party on the eve Vegas thing, and spend the money making the game fun again ...so You don't need to get it from us poor folks in game .....GET A JOB !

largest gathering of EVE pilots and developers outside Iceland! .... outside Iceland!.....outside Iceland!....outside Iceland!

Hasn't happened yet, and be glad. What you are seeing is post-Rhea where drop rates and escalation spawns were literally doubled. Just keep that in mind as to how ridiculous you sound to everyone else who spend years running fewer and getting less.



You and those around you are the ones willing to pay 130m for these sites. CCP has no control over that. Why are you blaming them for you overpaying?

The value of the loot dropped is also set by players. Are you getting mad at them for this being a player driven economy and not just having WoW NPC vendors scattered to buy your loot at a set value?

Are you blaming them for flying an overly blinged ship to complete these sites when a semi-blinged rattlesnake can run them all?

Are you really trying to connect all of this to them having a player gathering in a location outside of Iceland???


Dude, you need to step away from the computer for a moment and go consider your life choices for a while.

You're missing the point. It's still higher than it was pre-Rhea, this adjustment isn't really even noticeable. My corp has been running a spreadsheet for months, we really haven't noticed a change. Call it luck, but I'm thinking you just don't run that many and have had an unlucky streak. They happen.

They gave a hell of a lot with Rhea, that's why deadspace mods are so damn cheap anymore. They buffed the ever loving hell out of supers/carrier ratting and are still trying to tune them down. They introduced extractors/injectors so now people can get into anything they want when the mood suits them and the money is there.

If you want to blame not being able to plex your accounts, look at the cause. Extractors and SP farms increasing the ever loving hell on plex consumption which has driven the price up. Don't look to adjustments in escalations where everything but the value of the box is driven by players.

in almost 24 hours we have run 19 x 10/10 Angel Cartel Naval Shipyard


next too the overseers all the loot we have gotten was http://evepraisal.com/a/bz7ae


that 19 x risking a 2.6b ship



and this been going on and on

yes it is .....19 hours 300 mill and a bpc 10 of them dropped 0

these are 10/10 's high end escalations ?

(a) Its always been possible to get long streaks of no loot.

(b) the nerf was aimed at you and your group if you are producing a ded 10 escalation an hour under the revised escalation rate. Its a bit silly to just be able to run nothing but ded 10s all day.

(c) its not necessary to risk 2.6b to do a ded 10, thats something you choose to do.

(d) it may be possible that angels were nerfed more than other races.

(e) the only way to recover value for the loot is to reduce the drop rate. The loot was all trending to have no value.

(f) I got a vindicator bpc and an x-type module in the first ded 10 I did after the patch.

Didn't players used to fight over 10/10 ded's?

These days it seems they hand you 20 a day. No competition necessary.

well its your fault paying 130m for a worthless bookmark. Only yours.

PoSsiBly a bug. Or a feature.

I remember doing 1 to 4 8/10 or 10/10's a month, and the loot was worth so much one lucky site was worth 3-4 plex. Nowdays the best possible drop in a 10/10 is 30% of a monthly sub* (20% if you paid for the bm).
Not worth the time or risking a marauder.

*thanks to OP running 10 10/10's a day and people boxing carriers, getting multiple bookmarks per hour

You've been posting this same thing in multiple threads, this isn't Jita local.


OP, try to recalc with the escalation as a bonus round to the existing ratting site that first spawned it. The randomness of loot drop cannot be gauged as closely as the ticks from running actual combat sites.
