Which means ?Non comme d'habitude de l'arnaque.
I pretty much agree with all of that. I wonder if just time in the game helps. Not just hunting (I only hunt) but just being in the game and standing around. I am retired and this game is my hobby so if I have to run an errand I just stay logged in while I am gone. Consequently I may be online for 10 or more hours every day.Your returns depend on where you are on your loot-path and not on what (time of) day it is. I was on an upswing on the last couple of PEDs cycled and seem to have reached the end of that and I'm probably facing a downswing now (size of that is unknown obviously) before the next upswing comes along. So I'll be playing low for a while.
So you obviously get back something now, which usually gives you more freedom in what you can do. Just keep an eye on it as the next downswing is waiting for you after an unknown number of PEDs cycled.
Note how I didn't say anything about time here, just play the game.
You are on the uptrend is all, but it doesn't last long before it dips again. So if you are hunting 1 mob, I'd suggest changing to a new mob before it dips too much.Or am I just on a lucky streak? I am first to gripe when the loot is bad I thought I should say something when it seems to be running good.
You are on a downtrend, you should a) continue the same mob you have been hunting for a correction to happen or b) move to a much lower mob/maturity and watch the globals pop off like fireworks.My loot has been absolutely horrible, specifically in the last two days...
You shy away from mobs who take your peds? Bad choice, cause usually those peds are gone. I'd suggest sticking to that mob some more! Get your peds back for sure, wait for the sine wave to have a chance on reversing before leaving.I've not been much in the mood for doing turnover, but lowish mobs have even been tt-plus now after being on a downer a couple of weeks ago. It's typical for me, though; I shy away from mobs after taking a beating and then return too slowly when the upside comes. But yes, I chip into comments about bad loot, so here a rarer more positive note.
Ups and downs aren't measured by ped cycled but triggered by the number of kills, and this is something everyone should have learnt from doing iron quests start to finish. It's just that bigger mobs have higher costs to kill which makes 3000 kills unbearably for most people hunting them lol.Your returns depend on where you are on your loot-path and not on what (time of) day it is.

Time of day has no relevance to loot cycles going good or bad. The system puts you on -/+ side of the loot, the transfer comes from killing X amount of mobs, which can take X amount of time, based on your DPS. In my opinion, killing mobs cheaply helps with this and reducing the cost to kill/overkill.I pretty much agree with all of that. I wonder if just time in the game helps.

Agreed. It is most certainly fixed and can be very predictable even if it appears randomised. A mob deficit is a wording I devised to simply mean sine wave mapping, but people like to debunk my findings as theories and wonder why they keep losing lol.This is exactly what came out of my research about loot multipliers. Even more so-called "good and bad cycles" are subjective, resulting from not managing the multipliers system thrown out toward hunter (which is kinda fixed statistically, even if it appears as randomized).
I don't trust fully what MA say, so gathering your own data is prevalent but to each his own.I noted the losses in the previous post and didn't the MA big boss say they should be 4% overall losses. Has anyone had a chance to prove that? I don't think a guaranteed 4% loss is bad we can call it a monthly subscription fee like other games have but here if you don't play for a month it doesn't cost a dime.

you eventually jinxed your luck with this post xD
I had good returns for about 4 months, was celebrating it and even told a friend that it may be worthwhile for him to come back, and dang, massive downswing that is still going on. So now i have to tell my friend that it's not worthwhile to come back xD
I do not know how they calculate the "overall losses".... is it amount cycled based ?I noted the losses in the previous post and didn't the MA big boss say they should be 4% overall losses. Has anyone had a chance to prove that. I don't think a guaranteed of 4% loss is bad we can call it a monthly subscription fee like other games have but here if you don't play for a month it doesn't cist a dime.

For some better, for some worse
Yes it was called harassment and the Admin probably remove it along with my response. But keep it up and you will probably get banned from posting anywhere.I posted something here, being removed or what?
...randomness is illegal..

Can you expand on this? I am not aware of randomness being illegal unless you are talking about that making it gambling. which even gambling machines are not random.
