Does Elite:Dangerous know when it is bed time?

[PopePhil]

Seriously - when I'm playing late evening, and I have an early start the next day, is seems to KNOW - offering up loads of short-hop delivery runs for around 5million Creds a go... last night, I swear I was near to having to matchstick my eyelids

The joy of the human brain finding patterns in random activity

.... or in a hazres, massacre 50 pirates mission, need to go in 5 minutes, juicy mission targets anacondas start to spawn, leaving the instance full of mission targets :|

 

[Icybow73]

It doesn't seem to fo so for me.

I mean occasionally it does

 

[Navigare Necesse Est]

I usually get ridiculous offers so I'm guaranteed to log out. Problem is, one day I stopped logging back in...

 

[Speedcuffs]

When it's time to do some gardening there will be NO HGEs spawning.
True.

 

[Navigare Necesse Est]

When it's time to do some gardening there will be NO HGEs spawning.
True.

So it's bloody you! And you never do the gardening, right?!

No, because according to some players it should work the opposite: when the game know you're online it should put all the effort to break your fun and give you grind instead.

ED knows when you go to bed because its watching you through your curtains.....

So that's his new job? I thought he works for Bethesda now!

Tell me about it... I had stocked up the Cutter with delivery missions the day before yesterday before going to bed, which I then had to deliver first thing yesterday. Consequently I narrowly missed the price error for the fertiliser at the new CG station

He does. Watching you play through the curtains.

Every time you combat log.......he knows.

 

[Enderby]

I thought it was just me!

 

[CMDR M. Lehman]

Sometimes when the network crashes at 2AM I take it as a sign from the universe that it's time to go to bed.

Too much dew.

I have this too. I just accept like 5 good missions before logging off cuz I know they'll stick around for at least 24 hours before I gotta hand them in

 

[Krakenheim]

Quite the opposite.
No matter what I try the on-game clock is always 1 hour earlier than my local time, witch is Lisbon, so yes GMT should be right on...

 

[Old Duck]

Your CPU is overheating.

 

[IndigoWyrd]

He does. Watching you play through the curtains.

I thought he just 5C'd random powers.

I get the opposite, bang on midnight the boards are filled with Hostage rescue, donations, fetch me biowaste, or my personal fav delivery missions paying peanuts for a trip to a binary star 500k ls away... this is the cosmos and the RNG way of saying "time to log"
