Crystalline Clusters Vanishing?

This^, exactly. It used to work 100% of the time a few days ago, but now:
Great, of course this needs to happen on my first way out to them!!!11
So they 'fixed' it, then 'broke' it again? And no word about which state they're actually trying to get to 🤦‍♀️
Here we are at the communication topic again. I think that is information, that needed to be communicated quickly, if something is working as intended or broken. So people do not waste their time.

I guess they try to achive a state of equilibrium. Broken - Not Broken - Broken - Not Broken....

Or possibly a Schrödingers Game state, both broken and not broken, until you finally can be ARXed to check out.

See? I put ARX in the post.
Buy ARX!

Also, quantum superposition is a cool nerd word, I had to google it.

Don't get entangled in your own terminology. See what I did there?

I'm collecting crystalline clusters - polonium at the moment. I've shot several that just disappear as if I destroyed them, never fell and don't show up on the contacts list. Last time I was here doing this I never saw this happen. It's happening now over half the time.

Is this a new nerf feature or a bug?


I've heard of this, but not experienced it.

I HAVE however had many instances of shooting the shards, only to have the nugget stuck in its place atop the crystal. Sometime's I've been able to boost the SRV up and grab it, but mostly not

I was there twice lately, once before the last patch, once right after it. The first time it was working 100% flawlessly, but after the patch I lost quite a lot of shards (at least 20-25% of them), that was when I recorded that vid.

The crystalline shards used to drop two different visual types for the fragment of mats. After a patch one of those types started getting stuck in the shard structure and wouldn't drop to the ground so you'd have to jump up to grab them. After another patch they stopped appearing altogether so you only had the hitbox of the one that dropped properly to worry about. I assume FDev know about the clusters vanishing because I assume that was their approach to a fix - make it disappear so you can worry about the problem later or never. Like fixing enforcer cannon synth meant they removed the option entirely for months then bring it back with fanfare.

If that was really the case with those 2 visual types of mats, the better temporary solution would have been just making all of them appear the same type (no ninja shurikens, only sea hedgehogs)...

That makes sense to me, it makes sense to you, but apparently not the path chosen.
 
It seems reasonable to declare that FDev either BROKE it AGAIN (since in the patch notes where they "fixed it," they made mention of that), or they made a stealth nerf (perhaps because someone (who almost certainly doesn't actually play the game with any dedication) decided they were offended by the accumulation rate of those G4/G5 raws at the bio sites).

Certainly it couldn't be the latter because ...well... that would be shoddy community management, right?
