Not Very Happy

[Dommarraa]

In the last 24 hours (since the patch) 10% of our observed systems have become Discontent.

No idea if its correct (it cant be), or any known way to correct it, or sufficient information on the process to raise a Ticket.

Well, there had to be at least 1 . Changing the BGS is like playing Kerplunk with Dynamite.

Interesting. I'm not seeing quite the same effect out here but there does appear to be some reduction.

• of all faction-system pairs, 17 Elated, 334 Happy, 14 Discontent (one week ago 22/300/28, one year ago 20/311/24)
• of controlling factions only, 8 Elated, 64 Happy, 1 Discontent (one week ago 14/54/1, one year ago 13/50/3)

There does seem to have been a slight reduction in the number of Elated controlling factions, though over here also a reduction in Discontent.

(Of course, since the journal-reported happiness often just plain didn't match the right-panel reported happiness, it's very hard to tell)

Well its about time really. The normal trajectory is happy and little else.

happy is actually the default (a faction gets added as happy to a system, and systems without activity have all factions in none state and happy)

Which to me is wrong really- as a faction grows it should become harder to keep happy, making the BGS trend less towards stability.

no objection. it's anhappy galaxy, where doing nothing makes you happy, and people are born as happy people. but maybe fdev wants to tell us something zen with this riddle?

May well be coincedence, but I dont see any of our systems with the blank/bugged happiness flag.
Maybe FD "fixed" the bug by defaulting to happiness_3.

Unfortunately, coincidence - I've seen a blank happiness value over EDDN 30 minutes ago.

Yeah, one of ours just went blank.
Maybe if we come up with some ritual involving the sacrifice of some Canonn Milking Chickens, we might be able to summon Dav to clarify Happiness.

We have a system that in the last 12 hours has gone from:
Elated > Discontent > Happy > None

The mood of the playerbase is inflitrating the game.

Happiness definitely had a change. For us it went the other way. Went from 1/45 elated (rest happy) to 9/45 elated directly after Update 10, currently down to 7 elated systems. Couldn't exactly discern a pattern (both controlled and not controlled systems were affected), so no idea what changed exactly.
