Has their been a tweek to Invention in highsec in any Crucible patch? Myself and a Corp mate have noticed a decrease in job success rates. I guess we both could have just been unlucky and in a new round get much better outcome, however figured I would ask incase there has been and I need to change my set up to replace lost isk from lower profits.

I find this interesting and funny that this sort of topic pops up after nearly every update. In all probability, there as been no change.

Asteroid Timer: Know exactly when that roid depletes! PI Profit Calculator: calculates your profits and taxes of any PI product depending on how you built them!

I suspect pure bad luck, but what with it happening to a corpie also felt it best to check all bases.

Also, I was aware of the "o **** ninja nerf" side of my post

after every expansion, every expansion patch

Oddly enough, after reading the thread title, and knowing there was just a patch, I knew exactly what was in the OP without reading it.

But have you noticed that there has not been as many of these posts after THIS patch, compared to PREVIOUS patches?

It made me wonder if CCP has in fact tweaked invention to be more successful. To investigate thoroughly, I ran an extensive experiment with a sample size of one invention attempt. It was a success. 100% success rate. Not the measly 48% or so that EVEMEEP calculated.

So there we have it. Conclusive proof that CCP has buffed invention. I am happy because i get more successes now from my free datacores, but also worried that with the new workload of more blueprints to build from that i will have to mine a hell of a lot more to get enough free minerals to build the end products.

Typing in italics does not make you special.

Your belief that there is something wrong with invention because of the patch, however, makes you very, very special.

This is a commonly believe urban myth.

What really happens is the CCP secret buff Invention in every patch, but keep it secret so the T2 BPO blueprint cabal doesn't revolt.
