my beloved Helena you say
My number of 10-15k was pulled from entropia tracker and guessing how much loot is without globals. 10-15k is close to yours told 9.2k.
You confirmed you making profit - 55k in hunting log and 101k from yours own tax so its 156k, while paying 110k for shooters (that is yours choice not PLAY by yourself, but pay others). However you still cry... Sorry but im too noob to understand that
Better quit if its to painful to play.
It is not one bad month, something changed radically around April 2016. November 2016 was the worst one so far (return dropping to 88.2% nearing the end, that is an all-time low).
Avarage tt return is what matters. So please don't compare me to usual suspects (at least for this thread), I have published data to show the tt return % changed radically suddenly one month while constantly improving on equipment and skills, this is ridiculous (and indeed dynamic in a fucked up way). The only reason for grinding in Entropia is believing it can pay off and that effort is rewarded. My belief in the return system is broken, again, unfortunately.
Waiting for a hof, yea thats a great idea, have a look at my 2011 and 2012 results.
The maintenance LA needs is quite huge if you want others to hunt there, won't go into details. Though you could indeed say that other hunters on the LA are paying for it. My point was that your number 10-15k was pulled out of ... just like your beloved Helena usually did.
* my concern and rage is mainly about radically changing tt% one day while improving equipment and skills meanwhile + introduction of the easter ring and UL (L) armor abuse
* 12.5k is indeed just next to 9.2k, if you don't consider the 35% difference and that the return data is available in this very same thread
* 55k is not correct as 28k out of it it was from the MU of 2015 (as written in the summary of same thread) and that is mainly due to the 40k hof, so my main concern is forecasted next year without big hofs, especially after November returns
"It is not one bad month, something changed radically around April 2016" - based on YOURS log, it "changed radically" few times: 2016 april - november (with few decent months in the middle), 2014 september - 2014 december, 2013 november - 2014 february (after that bad time hitting 82k ATH) and some more times - see yours TT log.
You say my numbers was "pulled out of..." While yours numbers are just a part of...? Looks like you play for first day and "yours" log isnt yours at all. "November 2016 was the worst one so far (return dropping to 88.2% nearing the end, that is an all-time low)." - by now you should know that small runs dosnt count - later you hofed and final result is "November 2016 = -15,825 hunting (92.35% tt)". Looking to YOURS log i see "November 2014 = -14,404 hunting (93.72% tt)", "November 2013 = -17,853 hunting (88.97% tt", November 2012 = -10,491 hunting (92.62% tt)"... Loooks like it wasnt "all-time low" and looks like you having bad november most of the time...
Im sure you heard MA saying one magic word - dynamic. Some bad, some good. If it good in overall - depends on yours skills, gear and knowledge. Easter ring had to do something with returns, same as years ago crit scope and sights had impact to all people who didnt had them returns... "armor abuse" you must be talking about ES armor. Why you didnt use that? MM dont have range and you dont want to invest to another gun?! So complaining instead?
My guess was 10-15k. Isnt 9.2k very close to that? You take average on my numbers, but when talking about yours numbers - you take small samples instead of average?
Ok sorry, not 55k tt profit. But why you predict it wont be big hofs in future, when history show that they keep coming?!
All I am saying is that you complaining most in game, while doing not bad at all... I am noob who dont play at all, however saw people who did good or even better then you. Maybe it is time to stop for you? No, not stop playing, but stop complaining and look to yourself? Yours way of playing?...
P.S. I can bet 3k eur, I can do better if playing on same avatar with same gear!
6. "P.S. I can bet 3k eur, I can do better if playing on same avatar with same gear!" - what a smartass with 3K on the line My offer is you / anyone else buys the whole pack for 2M peds (which is a steal since just skilling up to my skills would cost around 2.4M), and then can show everyone how well / bad you can do.
So if a guy get salary last day of the month, then one day before he can claim he working for free?
Smilgs is a particular champion complainer
It was closer to 95 at that time. Will see if I make it to 100 at all with these returnsiwhenever i am closing in to rankup a skill or levelup, so i rankup a skill-level, my loot turns bad and my skillups come significantly slower half a level before it happens. In hunting i experienced that on all four relevant skill-sets, dmg, hit, paramedic and evader many many times. On a rankup to level 40 in evader or paramedic, it was a serious problem for me and it took many many months to get over it. I saw you mentioned you are evader level 99, for me that sounds like the nightmare scenario of loot. So in my world this would mean dead dry loot for a loooong period of time till i finally manage to skill over the rankup to level 100. I tried to chip in over the rankup but it didnt seem to work well, so maybe my impression is wrong after all. Then again, after rankup things tend to normalize quite quickly and i often trigger HoFs with the rankup. They almost get predictable.
Could it be you reached evader level 99.5 around easter and this is why your loot is so bad since then and not because of the rings?
i have no clue how u get such low tt returns... do you use full dmg enhancers by any chance?
Girts, I'm not really going to go on a long speel. But the appropriate answer is to get off calypso. The planet chose this for themselves. If you want more details, you can catch me on skype.
This is the new normal for calypso.
All according to pattern, most of it from mayhem FFA. Sad.
Will try a month on untaxed robots with minimal armor, which should be comparable to big osses run wise.
Expectation = no real difference, around 95ish tt% with a bit more MU.
January 2017 = -16,649 hunting (93.22% tt)
For as much as you grind, I would think you would have a different weapon anyway.
What would you recommend?

Not that many options after modmerc. What do you think?
