It's not NeverDies' fault, he does not control what is found on his "Astroid". At least that is what it is now called, just an Astroid.



Just did a 1k bomb and 1k probe and lost my ass.


Again, not something that NeverDie, can control, but, the returns just suck.


I was there for the first Xmas Party on CND...and I enjoyed it. I've mined CND for YEARS..

But, now, well, JMHO, I think he needs to check his 6. MA has turned the return waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down. And his jacking the tax does not help me to want to go there and mine.

My Return was less then 50 precent, (figuring in auction value).

Just that simple, don't mine....(Notice what I just said...it's not don't mine CND, it don't mine...I get the same results on planet)

Just my 2 pecs..(no, i don't have an unlimited mining amp, lol, like some do)

The heart of asia:(

I just did 14 runs on the planet with 200 bombs each and my worst return was 69%. My best return was 240%, and my average return was 95,33%.
All numbers in TT.
 
I get pretty good returns in mining actually :)


(I only mine planetside though)
 
Now? It has always been like this. Everyone has experienced bad runs there now it just has happened to you.
 
Bad runs just happen and when you are on CND which has more risk involved they tend to hurt more.

It could also be more people mining planetside for the event so less turn over for CND that is unless the OoO can be found there as well.

I don't know if it is his fault or not. Its hard to say if he has some say with MA|FPC over what happens with the loot, or if he can somehow tinker with loot a little by changing mob maturity, etc. I highly doubt MA|FPC would let him control the loot other than the way that normal LA owners control loot on their lands, but some conspiracy theories suggest otherwise... especially since Neverdie has a big stake in one of the new planets. Logic would tell you that if he does have a say over how great or sour the loot is that he might want to control that a little - manipulate it if you will - perhaps making CND less of a desired destination as the new planet if he wants more participants on that new planet the minute its doors open wide. I don't think that's really how it all works behind the scenes, but that's how some believe it might work at least on some level....

it's kind of similar to the cliffhanger theory that some have... with that theory, the loot gets better just before or after the server goes down... so that MA|FPC is creating a bit of a "cliffhanger" since it wants more participants getting online ASAP - resulting in lots of decay costs rolling in when new VUs come into existence etc. I don't know if I buy that cliffhanger theory or not, but it seems that some things that I've witnessed myself, and read about shows that there might be something to that... perhaps Neverdie will be creating a mini-cliffhanger so that loot gets better right before servers go down to implement the new vu that brings planets online... and might make it better right after that, either on the planet or the astroid... of course, this is all a bunch of conspiracy theories that don't really mean anything...

I don't think this is a matter of control or no control, nor is it a matter of MA turning up or down the loot level. It's simply idiotic to continue thinking that Mind Ark is turning dials to adjust loot volumes. Loot is the result of the collective input from all the players feeding into it. When the population is way way down, like it is now, the returns follow.

Here on Calypso the same number of claims seem to be spread out over a much larger area, with a lot more obstacles and challenges to locate them. On CND things have always been a challenge.
 
Loot sux in general, every profession, always.

Don't amp a lot in mining so globals are no indication... but you can see the last month, my loots have changed DRASTICALLY. There was a two week period where I think I got maybe 3 globals in all 3 professions total!!!!
Though I also played about 1/2 as much for the last week due to losing nearly 10k in the 2 weeks prior to that. Note that my crafting globals are on small bp's as I stopped clicking at my level due to ridiculous losses.
As of the Friday just gone I've basically had to stop playing, as I'm sick of losing $100+ a day.

So it's not just CND, it's not just mining, it's all of EU.
Hunt anything from Chirpy to Fresco, craft from I Conductors to Jasch AP, mine unamped enmat to 105 ore... all mega loss.
It's not fun always losing. If this continues MA will lose a player that, until a month ago, deposited 3xweek average.

From full TigerL/MartialL/Ghost/Grem/Pixie/Kobold, 5b/6a/3a, CB26L/HL12L/H400L, T20L, ek2600, beasts, A103/105's hundreds of BP, tonnes of mining gear, about 1k random bs in storage and 4k PED on card, to 3.74ped the glasses and trident we were given and pixie shoes... in 1 month.
GG MA.


Aaaah, needed to vent that, thanks OP :D


*edit*
Now I actually look at my globals, it almost looks like on the 20th of last month someone just turned my loot off...
:cry:

why opening a thread how cnd mining sucks then?

another loot winning thread...
 
I recently enjoyed a holiday upon CND and quite the opposite looted well:D
 
Damned place

Yesterday has burnt many money. There were 25 bombs last 105-amp and all) understand that CLUB NEVERDIE it angrily, but not so all is bad. Now 1000 times will think before to fly here.

But the life proceeds :) ...Even without money///
 
I've had very poor returns last few days in terms of tt % payback, but should even out overall (well it normally does).
I've been on planet to so isn't just there :D.
