have res sites been nerfed?

kingchub · May 14, 2015

been to lots of these and im no longer getting good res. have they been nerfed?

yyy · May 14, 2015

I would say they haven't been nerfed. Got a good run in an annie, python, dropship, clipper instance last night. Just log out and log back in a few times.

That said I hope FD keep this instancing method since it caters for players of differing skill levels.

No.

Ok, officially, nothing has been said. Its possible the RNG is just being evil.

I think you sometimes just have prolonged bad luck with what they spawn. I thought the same thing a while back then eventually I got lucky again.

This is fine. Better rare drop of bigger ship. You feel better when come to you.

Wether or not you get a Good instance is random

HipToss · May 14, 2015

I have been getting better ones then before.

Metalstardust · May 14, 2015

Nope just the same as before.

I guess 1.3 will make changes.

Just randomness. Good and bad streaks happen; it's the nature of randomness.

I've noticed time of day (in game) on the site can effect spawns, also that the game will vary the types of scenarios that spawn.

It does seem to be harder to find a good one but they are still around. Just cashed 2 million in and that was in a wing.. It was raining Anna's, pythons, clippers and dropships...

KillingTime · May 14, 2015

From my experience I think the odds of spawning a good instance change over time depending on how much they are farmed. It would make sense from a background simulation as if there is a known hotpoint where pirates get slaughtered I would imagine they would soon stop visiting.

During the zaonce CG I could maybe get a decent spawn at the local res 1 in 10 times and it seemed to drop as the CG went on. Flew to the main alliance space and almost every time a decent RES spawned over the next couple of days.

Of course that is only anecdotal evidence, I could have just been really unlucky, no way to tell really but I've been to enough to conclude that not all RESs are created equally, whether or not they change over time I'm less certain of.

I've noticed some weirdness going on the last few days as well. 2 days ago I was playing in a RES that was spawning Cobras, Adders, and Anacondas. :S

clivewil · May 14, 2015

it seems like the likelihood of getting a crap instance has been increased. a while ago i'd have to try about 5 times to get a really good instance.

now it's more like 25.

Guidebot · May 14, 2015

Nah, you're just having a bad streak pal. Keep going until you get a good set of enemy spawns.

Lately I've been on fire, great money rates. As soon as it dries up I keep on re-rolling until the big guys come back =D.

I would agree with that, it took me awhile until i could get the right instance.

If those silly NPC's would simply buy insurance, they would be able to come back in their Pythons and 'Conda's instead of the Vipers and 'Sidies' they keep hitting me with....

Nitek [pl] · May 14, 2015

I also feel like good res are not appearing. Changed about 20 systems, relooged. sh*Twinders and eagles:]
I HOPE it wasn't changed because it really sucks now.

TMC · May 14, 2015

There are still good spawns. If you keep trying and keep getting crap then change to a different RES. Seems to work for me. Also it seems like the first visit (of the day) to a RES is the best chance to get a good spawn. If I go to a RES and get junk I will try just a few times and then go to another RES and bam the first one is good.
