-incoming anecdotal evidence-
Before the patch which I will dub "fun time", I could scan about twenty to forty systems and find an assortment of sites in high sec with lvl 4 skills and a full leveled cov ops with 2 rigs. After the patch I'm not even finding the noob anom sites that you can find on the ship scanner(which is very odd). Before someone says that someone already did them, I looked around five systems this just as the server came up, even today with no one in local. Maybe the sleepers ran them?
Something else I have also noticed is that it is now randomly very difficult now to scan down certain anoms, particularly radars. Whereas before I could go down to 1AU and get a hit I'm now having to go to 0.25 and sometimes it is still not hitting. I'm using the same formations that I used before the patch and same techniques.
I have looked over my previous profiles from the past few weeks and after fun time was over I'm seeing a significant drop in the quality of sites and site number in general. Has anyone else had this problem?

Edited by: Tarasina on 10/04/2011 13:07:32 Thanks to the sanctum/haven nerfs, nullsecplayers are now in hisec doing all the anomalies, that is why you don't find them.
/Sarcasm
Not all systems have anoms I guess, I've found plenty of those in my travels.

My guess is that you've got your scanner on "Ships" only, by mistake. This is how I managed to make sites invisible to my scanning efforts .

No, I have my filter set to signatures and anoms. I don't do combat probing.

Edited by: PanKrolik on 10/04/2011 13:39:04 Edited by: PanKrolik on 10/04/2011 13:38:21 Not sure about hisec but in npc 0.0 it seems that amount of signatures droped by like 50+%. Pocket that was crawling with sites got like 6 sigs total in like 16 systems. It could be partialy atributed to mass probing for new plexes but not when you are scaning just after DT.
Also it seems that there was also quite significant drop in wild anoms numbers in those systems.

The majority opinion on this seems to be that signature respawning is broken and only happens at DT since the patch. So if this is true then it could be expected that the only sites you can still find a while after DT are the ones that are very hard to scan down so only few people can do them.

I checked a whole region for sites (spent all day) and all I was able to get on scan was a few dozen wormholes, alot of gravs, a realy annoying to scan down radar and mag site, a few ladar sites, a half dozen drone plexs, but not a single pirate faction plex that I was looking for.
I think plex spawning is broken and only time you can get one is right after dt, and thats not realy fair for people in the us tz.
I feel that CCP's goal is to reduce number of people in 0.0 so they dont have to fix their programming that they broke with dominion, and just half to add a few new missions from time to time.

Entirely anecdotal, but I'm using the career agent missions to grind faction standing for an alt. The first scanning mission requires only the use of the built-in scanner, not probes, but I couldn't find the signature at all. After the next downtime three tutorial signatures showed in system.

The Great Depression of 2011 has started!
It's not just high and low sec exploration sites that have been broken since patch day, it's all 0.0 sites too.
Up here in 0.0 land sites ONLY spawn ONCE after downtine and that's it. We have noticed this change for five consecutive days.
We have no more 6/10s at all and very few other combat sites.
This is not speculation any more it's been confirmed by our resident ninja plexer, a professional site ninja who scans three regions a day (over 100 systems)

I haven't found any sites for a while either. Something has changed with signatures.
If this is true, then it sucks for US people as most sites are gone by the time I get on.

lol i don't mind that either as I too play after dt; however a) its not very fare for my US bros b) the sigs are not re spawning like they used to after a random timer, and c) 6/10s have gone, once upon a time there used to be several appearances of 6/10s across our constellation and across other constellations in the region....not any more...combat plexs have been heavily nerfed in 0.0 or if we are very lucky it's just a temp bug that ccp will kindly fix soon

I can confirm that sigs only spawn after downtime. I used Adacyne as the test system. Before this last patch you could expect 4-6 sigs in adacyne at any one time. Now right after downtime you still get about the same and possibly a wh. Once those were cleared I checked back every hour (I was off work with nothing else to do). Results? 0 sigs respawned the entire day.
So, apparently in true CCP fashion, a "fix" for something that wasn't broken, broke it. I suggest petitioning it about every day, I know I plan to.

Spent several hours scanning today, a good 30-40 systems at least, and systems that are usually empty and yield at least 3-4 (GOOD) plexes and a bunch of crap ones. Got nothing, except a few of the sites that noone does cause they are a waste of time.
If CCP managed screw exploration sites while nerfing the crap out of anomalies, well congratulation, you completely destroyed the income source of 80+% of nullsec players. GG!

Edited by: Cyn0 A17 on 10/04/2011 20:24:52 Way to go ccp on the nerf to us tz on top of 0.0 anoms, and no exploration and no anoms leaves the massivly overcrowded belts (not practical) and level 4's as active income sources. I was all like no sanctums well I can grind angel standings or try to do some exploration, but I dont mind getting bad drops, but I wasnt even getting plexs. I checked 100+ systems for sites and got nothing.
EDIT:Not going to do mining for if I got to do that to make isk then I will cancle my account or bot. Also you can't have my stuff.

Finding nothing except for wormholes here.
Something's definitely broken, I'm not even finding gravs or mags.

I personally wouldnt mind a permanent nerf.
Since Apocrypha exploration became more like farming and job than actual exploration. I wish that feeling could come back.

Oh hai Mr. LaForge
Up in 0.0 land where I come from, we've had 2 7/10s and 3 8/10s spawn in one constellation in the last 2 days (those are simply ones that I have PERSONALLY heard of/run.
The drops do seem to be borked..8/10s both dropped nothing but overseer.
My personal theory is that CCP fixed/boosted the plex upgrades to compensate for lack of anoms.
There are a set number of plexes per region/for all of eve, and there can never be more than that number. With the upgrades drawing more plexes to those upgraded systems, there are much less spawning in other areas.
Just my two cents.

I can confirm the drying up of sites. All I've found since the update is 2 gravs, 1 plex, and the rest were wh's... dozens and dozens of wh's -- and I probably dropped close to 600 probes in finding those.
They nerfed PI, now scanning. I'm almost afraid to try something new to generate income because with this track record CCP will most likely nerf the next thing I try to make ISK.

I have to say reading this thread is very depressing to say the least.
I have about 20 different exploration routes set up in different Factions space which has always guaranteed multiple signatures in each system. I'll have to go check them now and post my report to either confirm or deny the alleged exploration nerf.

I've checked, double and triple checked in caldari space, no sites respawn once the site spawned by the server downtime has been completed. The route i normally use is 10 systems, and i know this is not enough always get a combate site, but i have run the route with around 1 hour intervals and nothing new will spawn, not even anom's. I multiple times extended the route to go though an additional 10 system, which all gave the same result. Half way through the server uptime period i've not seen any sites except wormhole and and a total of 3-4 ladar sites.
Last night i decided to leave caldari space and try gallente space, and i was quite surprised to see anom's in some of the systems. I don't know if this means that not all systems are affected, but at this point i've given up doing more exploration then one run right after the server downtime.

I meant to post earlier but was called away.
I ran 25+ systems today(Sunday) after DT, all in low sec Caldari space, found my first combat after an hour or so, Provisional guristas outpost, which escalated into a major low sec system(I won't say which but its an easy guess).
I scanned the system and found an annex, ran that with no luck, jumped into the next system and found another ran that, still nothing, at that point I got called away, but it seems to me that CCP have decided to put more lucrative combat sites in highly trafficked systems.
I never had a sniff of a DED plex all day, where as last week I would have only run 10-15 systems before I was happy with my haul of shinnies :P

Edited by: Paikis on 11/04/2011 02:55:20 On the one hand this is clearly a bug and needs to be fixed.
On the other hand, I'm finding it completely hillarious that US players are screaming not fair! when for the first time (ever I think) they are the ones disadvantaged due to timezones. I can't remember the number of times I've mentioned something along the lines of "gee, I wish I could participate in MMO_08's live events, but they all happen when I'm at work/sleep"... and been told to suck it up by players in the US. And to even suggest that something be changed so the non-US TZ players can participate in them? Heaven forbid!
So you can see why I'm torn. On the one hand 'suck ****, shame you're in the WRONG TIMEZONE! hahahaha'... but on the other hand, it really isn't fair and should be fixed. Just remember this next time someone from Australia or Europe/Britain mentions how it sucks playing in our timezones... just remember.

This is effecting all re spawns in his sec, low, 0.0 and also in wormholes. Fix this please...forget about your rainbow pony forums.

Not sure if troll. I play with more europeans than fellow americans due to having a graveyard shift job. Never heard any of them remark on TZ issues aside from the occasinal aussie who hates downtime, but well, it has to happen during someone's primetime. vov

Not a troll.
I do play with some Americans, and alot of you can be cool... shame about the majority that give those guys a bad name. It just seems funny that whenever I mention something about timezones (doesn't happen often) that I get told to suck it up, yet here we have a thread all about how its unfair to americans that the server reset occurs while they're sleeping. Funny how things aren't so easily ignored when the shoe is on the other foot.
EDIT: I do understand that it has to happen during someone's prime time, and I understand why it is usually mine (aussie) but that doesn't mean I have to like it. It also doesn't make it any less funny hearing the QQ from people who are used to being catered to.

You ought to bear in mind that the vast majority of us who play in US / Canadian timezones have never (and would never) be such pitiful trolls as the people who crow about timezones and the relative advantages / disadvantages they incur. Explorers in particular tend to be a courteous bunch, in my experience, unless competing for a site... then the gloves come off!
I'll also add my voice to this thread. Over the 3-4 days following the patch, I scanned approximately 40-50 systems in the hours prior to downtime, in a relatively low-traffic region. I found one site in a dead-end system in all those days, when I usually average 2 DED sites per day. The total number of sites also seems way down.
I watched a dozen systems very closely for about 5 or 6 hours one night, before downtime. No decent sites, and no sites at all respawned in those systems over the course of those several hours. Following downtime, I checked 6 of those same systems. 6 new sites, total.
I completely support the "only respawning at downtime" theory (it has been my own theory for about 3 days now, as it happens). Lets get this FIXED QUICKLY!

There are several threats in the forums now regarding the same - let's call ist - 'bug'.
When will a CCP Dev respond to all the thaughts and clear it up?

Why, oh why does this thread pop up every. single. patch.
No, sites are spawning just fine. Sorry you haven't found any, but that is the nature of the RNG mistress. ...Then when you stopped to think about it. All you really said was Lalala. |
