Okay, confused. Someone give me a dumb explanation. Is Dav's Hope meant to drop 1:1, or 3:1?
"Material drops at settlements provide only one item instead of three. This is intended"
- Thread starter Audaxxx
- Start date
Everything is supposed to drop in 3's except Guardian blueprints.
According to Will, it is dropping 1:1 now, but it is not what devs had intended (despite previous confirmation that it was intended). Most likely some mixed messages and misunderstanding. So according to devs it should drop three data items instead of 1. They are looking into fixing that.
Splendid news. Sounds like the raised issues were maybe skimmed over slightly and it was accidentally marked as working ok.
Thanks for the replies Will.
Well, they back pedaled, just like the KWS outrage.
Personally I think this is a really good sign. It's refreshing not to see the usual 'stick to our guns no matter how wrong we are' kind of pig-headedness that pervades the modern age.
How do you expect me to show you unless I recorded your entire gameplay ??? But it seems like you've just admitted it yourself anyway so well done. Well done also for passing the buck onto Frontier. Absolving yourself of all the blame I suppose ? You have choices.
You think it pee's off the entire playerbase? Some are quite happy with how things are.

You could instead see it in a more positive light instead of seeing it as some form of victory.
Superb work!
I'm also pleased that Frontier listened to its community. Some of the decisions during beta and now this gives me qualified hope for the future of Elite. Thank you Frontier.

You never really can know for sure in this forum. Some people are masters at sarcasm and carry it well. With those people, it's obvious. Some are actually very serious, when you may think it's sarcasm. Then the inevitable flame war begins and the contest of whose got the bigger gun, etc and so on. Besides, I've got oldtimers disease. I lose my edge from time to time.
Huh?

Some are quite happy no matter what happens.
OK - was this all a ruse by FDev?
A genuine mistake? [unlikely]
A deliberate change - which when there is a little outrage on the forum (<1% of players) quickly invokes a U-Turn?
Why would it be a deliberate change? Well - because Dav's Hope et al, are really no longer necessary, and their very existence is encouraging the repetitive grind that so many forum members are against. The whole idea of Dav's Hope is to repeat a loop endlessly - the arch-grind!
If Fdev had stuck to their guns, the players using Dav's hope would have found the same materials are now naturally spawning in many more places since 3.0 and they can just do regular missions, regular exploration, regular having fun - patch it up with the material traders and voila! They have what they need... They would have been free from the very grind they supposedly hated!
Oh the fuss! Oh FDev's weak spine. Oh the forum's mock rage...

I agree 100%!
While I personally took the last two weeks of 2.4 to gather up a good amount of G5 mats and data, which was instrumental in fleshing out my remaining lower grade inventory slots... It wouldn't hurt to increase the spawn rates and/or quantities available to help those new to the game and those who failed to plan ahead.
A great place to start would be to fix the mission rewards which currently only offer a choice of (3) G5 mats or data. Thats it! None of the other G5 materials and data are ever offered as mission rewards, despite several claims to the contrary in Frontier authored patch notes.
Those three items are the following:
Modified Embedded Firmware
Exquisite Focus Crystals
Biotech Conductors
Thats All Folks!

Which isn't a good thing either.
