Hi Guys

Did anyone notice a difference with their loot on these 3 or 4 days? as in was it or has it been amazing or has been consistent to previous days or are you still on a bad streak for a few months.

Reason i ask is Mine was amazing and not any amazing, fucking amazing. I would say in my 14 years in eu, hands down these 3 days have got to have been the best loot ever and it wasn't best as in i was hof'ng or i had major big ones, No.

It was because the returns were so amazing with constant globals and minis that i cycled 1k ped to over 19k ped in 3 days and at one point i was in 2k profit.

If i was down a 100 or 200 on a run the very beginning of the next run bam it would be returned and i was back to the beginning again.

I believe this to be a achievement in its self to make 1k ped last to over 19k ped cycled

For once i thought i had found the right balance of weapon and mob level
For once i thought loot 2.0 is working as intended where returns are consistent and are coming back over a much much shorter period rather than spread over the course of weeks or months
For once i thought maybe MA tightened the loot coding up a little and decided to make things better for us
For once i thought maybe its nothing and MA loosened the tap a little as a present for Christmas and new years
For once i thought a little too much and thought all sorts.

but as the 31st rolled over to the 1st it started going back to normal and on the 5th as i speak time to depo again :D

How was yours, Share your experience.

Kind Regards

~200k cycled on Mayhem creatures, 95% TT return. Basically 3 days down, 1 day up. No difference on any specific days. Just a steady grind with a steady loss.

Glad the game is fun for other people though :cool:
 
It's due to your avatars progression. :silly2: A little hint: keep an eye on things around
the progression, no matter what values there are. Next time this happens, check if
you find any similarities to last peak. ;)

Lucky you ! 95% is a pretty nice constant. Been down for several kpeds in a row sometimes to 50% on a single run. My worst run being 1.2k peds of ammo shot and decay for about 300 peds back.

I think now after about 50hrs of Mayhem I am back almost to balance. Maybe down a few %, but at some point I thought about giving up. Thanks to that nice HOF before New year, I got back some of my losses.

What do you mean progression? Can you elaborate?


As for my loots.... it's been SUCK followed by BLOWS. lol

Seriously though... Huge losses up until I looted an Ares Perfected ring Dec 20th. So that was good.
21st - 23 was decent loot was getting good returns actually
24 - 27 was pure crap, lots of big losses
28th - 30th (in the morning) it picked up a bit. Had a little profit, not enough to cover from the last losses though. Think I got back about 500-600 peds of the couple thousand lost previously.
30th (starting mid-day) - 4th (mid day) it was back to crap with record losses easily lost another couple thousand.
4th (mid-day) - now has been decent... runs where I'm getting like 98% - 110% returns.

So my spread of good loot didn't last as long as your it seems but I was having some good loots partially during that time frame. So it's like 3 days of good, 4 days of bad, 3 days of good, 4 days of bad lol Still waiting for a "pay back" hof considering the losses lately but whatever...

...
Skill (and attribute) related progressions, in some ways they have an influence. ;)
For my own part I began to notice this when I were around lvl60, now I'm some levels
over 100.
One interesting thing about this is that I've heard some other players noticed this too,
while others don't.
 
I have cycled a several 100,000 Ped since my last HOF over 500 ped. So that would be a big Nope. However new year I am sure my ATH is coming.

Jambon, you should keep a spreadsheet of your runs, i don't think it will be nearly as bad as you think it is. I saw your post on mining, saying you never get above 30% tt return.

I think recording your runs, hunting / mining what ever it is, will open your eyes to your actual tt return.

(Don't forget to record markup you paid AND received)

yeah, loot has been a blast!!
It made me wanna play entropia much less and thus saving me a lot of time that I could spend on my family and building my house!!

Playing has become so freaking expensive that other alternatives are becoming more and more attractive!

Bad things can have a good side :tongue2:
