Bugs, bugs, bugs, bugs so what does FDev fix? USS farming.

JetsonRING · Jan 17, 2019

Ships sitting on assigned landing pads, game freezes, clunky HUD modes, etc. and what does FDev "fix"? USS "farming". This morning's patch seems to have "fixed" USS farming at least, they are not re-spawning when I re-log. The "scenario" (or "scan da ship") ones do re-spawn but not the materials USS. Am I expected to have fun scanning the same ship over and over for a tiny increase in REP? Farming USS was a fun and effective method for collecting materials and we can't have THAT, can we? There were a couple of dozen USS in the system I went to and not a single HGE. I am totally not looking forward to the extreme "fun" of jumping system to system to system to system hoping for a single HGE-USS might pop up.

I have not tried it yet but can anyone confirm whether the multiple abrasion blaster "exploit" has been "fixed" as well? After all, mining was fun for a while so let's squash that too.

I approve of any and all messages complaining about bugs in Elite Dangerous [squeeeee]

Probably. After all, mining is fun too, now. Got to fix that. o7

Yes, the multi-chunk bug has been stealth fixed, too.

yep they have fixed it via the amount of chunks in a motherlode, which is now an eggcuplode so yes the price is great but the amount of chunks nerfed by ~50%

While highly amusing, I'm getting reports from squadron members that HGEs are now 10 times rarer than they were even before the patch.

I appreciate the work they've done, but how did one of the biggest problems get made WORSE!

[yesnod] Come on. Ask your self that question again out loud and see how ridiculous it sounds! o7

BTW: Confirmed. The abrasion blaster "exploit" has also been "fixed" and mining is again, a grind. THANKS Fdev!

Did they actually fix the freezes though?

You forgot , we must worship the grind and put up with the bugs that will never be fixed. That is the Elite way .

Are you saying by removing multiple chunks being released for one shot, mining is now a grind? Or some other reason?

Apparently via stealth patch a few days before this patch. Some are saying the freezes have stopped. Still having server issues daily and some say they are still getting smaller freezes, but I think it's supposed to be better now, when did you get the last one?

Haven't had a chance to play since last Thurs. Will test on the weekend. Btw, still ok to rejoin your group? I haven't had a chance to check emails, got another friend too if that's ok?

Cheers

By 'stealth fixed' do you mean fixed after it was confirmed as a bug over a week ago with a post saying it would be fixed soon?

Of course mate, you're a valued member, get back on the discord! Need all the links again? If so no worries! Bring your friends, hell bring your dog, just come back!

No I expect he means because it has not been mentioned in the patch notes, that makes it a stealth nerf in my book too. The fact that we were expecting it to be fixed at some point is neither here nor there imo.

Plus: it's not just the abrasion blaster that has been fixed, the initial motherlode has also been reduced by about 40%.you now get 12 to 15t per roid, which if you ask me is fine, but again has been mentioned nowhere.

I was just in an independent system, in OUTBREAK state that had more than two dozen USS . . . and not a single HGE. o7

A couple of couple days for sure I have not seen the freezes, before this 3.3.02 patch. This gives us a point that it was server side issue. I've seen some yesterday, less than a second, but OK, I can believe this is my laptop's lag.

That's what we're seeing too, thanks for the report!
