Was attempting the CG this week and while I was attacking a WANTED ship a clean Anaconda flys right through my beam lasers,awesome, now i have a wanted bounty. Fly to station to pay it off but says I have a point of notoriety(Which is odd because I didnt engage the conda it got hit by my lasers in passing, but whatever) Now I have been waiting over 2 hours for my point to drop off so I can pay my fines and start the CG back up before it ends but its not going away. Any chance I can get some feedback on how to fix the literal game breaking issue?
My notoriety wont drop off?
- Thread starter Havoc9
- Start date
I JUST GOT TIRED OF WAITING SO I WENT TO THE SYSTEM I GAINED THE NOTORIETY IN AND LET THE SYSTEM SECURITY BLOW ME UP! IT'S STILL THERE! HASNT DROPPED OFF!
i HAVE LOGGED ON AND OFF, WAITED SEVERAL HOURS IN GAME! BLOWN MY CORVETTE UP 2 TIMES NOW DOWN TO 40 MILLION! AND ITS STILL THERE! UNINSTALLED!

Several hours in game doesn't match the hour and 22 minutes between posts.
Surely a support ticket is the more obvious action than uninstalling in a fit of capitals?

I believe you have to fly around for your notoriety to drop. Parked up in a station won't reduce it. I had mine up to level 6 and it took a good 6+ hours to drop down to 0 having flown around in other ships carrying out various missions etc.
Well someone certainly has a short fuse, notoriety makes the game far more fun and interesting but uninstalling in a fit a rage tells it's own story but maybe you'll be back sometime soon.
After a buddy of mine calmed me down and convinced me to reinstall, i can say, it took nearly 6 hours for that ONE point to drop off my ship. Over reaction or not, this is an extremely broken mechanic for an NPC to fly in front of my ship and cause me HOURS lost of not be able to do a community event with a limited time. More so seen as how it states it suppsoed to drop off much sooner than that. This still needs serious fixing.
cheers to your buddy ;-)
actually, if intentional, I find it quite clever to make it impossible to reduce one's notoriety while afk (well, at least while docked and afk...). If it takes 6 hours for one point something seems to be off, I agree.
Notoriety ticks off 1 point for 2 hours (edit: not 1 hour) in game. So if you log off, it doesn't count. Also there are some bugs which most likely will be fixed in update tomorrow.
Also be careful with trigger around innocent NPCs

I came to this thread thinking someone had a medical issue with his 'notoriety'

Isn't it 1 for 2 hours?
Ahhh smucks. Yes it is. Editing.
So, OP, I'm guessing that if you had left the game running, stayed docked, and waited 2 hours, then undocked and jumped into supercruise (as the stated rules indicate) then your story would have been quite different.
But by all means toss your toys and uninstall - because that's way more fun, right?
Just having a little laugh at your expense my good man - no offence intended. Feel free to poke fun back if such is your want.
I get what you say. But this is a consistent problem in this game. Where does it tell you that?
It doesn't. To know this you have to alt tab out of the game and google it. There are far to many systems in the game that are poorly explained by the game itself. When you factor in the fact that the game has had several updates so information on line is often conflicting it can be a nightmare trying to figure out just about anything.
Don't get me wrong, I love the new C&P system, but my lord does this game need some tool tips or something.
I see the problem. Noteriety Lock is bound to Caps Lock.
I'M JUST GLAD YOU DECIDED TO REINSTALL
I BELIEVE THERE IS A MULTICANNON UPGRADE THAT PREVENTS A COMMANDER FROM SHOOTING FRIENDLY SHIPS, BUT IT'S AN EXPERIMENTAL UPGRADE, SO YOU HAVE TO GET IT DIRECTLY FROM THE ENGINEER, TOD "THE BLASTER" MCQUINN
Notoriety is full of bugs, it does not decrease while docked whatever the FAQ says. As for jumping to SC, I think that varies from case to case, but personally it took two full restarts to get it to update once the timer had ticked down.
I can attest to that the Notoriety counter does *not* decrease while docked. I waited over two hours, earlier, while docked in a station and nothing happened. I took off, jumped to supercruise, still had the same Notoriety. Only after two hours of supercruising out towards a random star did the Notoriety decrease from one to zero.
