Originally by: "Dominion Patchnotes" Exploration & Deadspace * The loot of several DED complexes has been rebalanced.
Okay. After reading the Evelopedia article on the Sansha 10/10, then having run two Serpentis 10/10s and receiving no tiers except for the 23rd tier, I got frustrated. I petitioned CCP asking to please offer me the tiers because they are not dropping.
CCP's GM response was that the tiers do not always drop now, and added this was changed recently. I questioned this person, asking whether by "not always" means "never" and he said they should still drop from time to time.
However, the Sansha 10/10 post above was written by an ISD member. I know they are volunteers but the hope is that they have a clue. It is my belief that 10/10s have had their upper tiers removed and CCP is not saying anything about it.
If so, why did CCP decide to remove the tiers from the 10/10, except for the final 150 mil? I will still run the plexes, but I'd much rather have tiers and the chance for great loot rather than one tier and a chance for great loot.
I will admit, I pulled a Vindicator BPC in both 10/10s, but the rest of the loot was lackluster. I used to leave a 10/10 with over 2-3 bil in loot and now it's looking more and more like Vindi BPC + one special item and a tier is going to be it. How is that balanced?

Some smart mouth can point out that before Dominion, the usual luck to be had in 10/10 plexes were the personal effects, and that an almost guaranteed BPC drop is way better.
I hate those people.
I find it dissapointing when decisions regarding game balance are ultimately implemented with the least amount of work possible. Example: rebalancing DED complex loot...aside from the increase in drop rate for blueprint copies, all they did was CUT some drops. And I'd especially like to point out the serpentis DED 4/10 , the Phi-Operation Outpost. Which has been rebalanced by SLASHING all the rats in the first room. And by emptying the loot can in the first pocket. That doesn't seem like a very big amount of work done towards rebalancing, does it?

What? There are still rats in the first room and the can isn't empty. Are you sure someone didn't just empty it before you came?

I'm very serious about this. I made more than a billion and a half from DED 4 plexes, Serpentis Phi-Operation Outpost, by blowing up the Serpentis Phi-something battleship.
And I have NOT seen a single rat in the first pocket, nor have managed to loot anything from the can in there. I was empty the whole time. And i'm talking about 9-10 plexes. No wrecks, no loot, no nothing. Empty of all moving things, all there was in there was the props(stations,asteroids, etc).
Other people have encountered these too.

Random drop is random. You are not supposed to get a billion out of a mission every time. Even 10% would be an overkill if you ask me.

lower rated plexes were rebalanced to drop just one OPE but of higher tier, so 6/10 instead of tiers 11-15 only drop tier 19. 10/10s already dropped highest available tier in the end so they just got nerfed instead Furthermore, you're already reading my sig |

Thank the new probing system. Any ****bag carebear with level 2-3 skills can now probe just about as effectively as someone with all level 5 skills and a virtue set.
Everyone and their brother is now wrongly doing exploration without ever having to spec for it as a profession. They made it way too easy to do, and either left the spawn rate the same or increased it.
They had to nerf the drops because the value of faction/deadspace mods is just **** now.

The anger is strong with this one.

I recently had a serp 4/10 that I found as an escalation from an anomaly which had rats in the first room. Dropped the OPE and a SS Thermic Hardener in the first room.
But yes, it's too bad OPEs are random/removed. And terrible how easy probing is now.

Yes, I've done the Serpentis 4/10 at least 10 times since Dominion came out and the first room almost never has any ships in it, and if you take too long in the 2nd room all the ships except the Phi-Operation Protector will vanish from grid.

Atm i will say DeDs are not balanced with each other and they are not balanced with the other plexs. I can run a DeD and make isk always because something always drops. i can run a normal unknown and most of the time nothing drops for the faction BS and it wont escalate. 6/10s make me more isk than the 8/10s. This is not balanced. You should also always get the tiers because you know they have personal stuff.
