Hi everyone, I've done plenty of DED sites in my time but usually always rated sites.
I noticed that they buffed the chance of escalations from unrated sites. For example Blood annexes, serpentis military complexes etc. Can anyone share their experiences with these sites, how much better are they now?
For the record, I have noticed very little change in angel unrated sites. |

I haven't done any high sec stuff since the buff. Mainly because now I don't need to.
That buff was great, it made spamming the 'useless' underused anomalies in both low sec and null worth doing. Now you can choose to do the 'big/good' anoms (Sanctums, havens, named hubs, all of which are spares in low sec) OR you can fit a 'buzzsaw' type ship (like my RLML Drake) and do the lower end ones in low and null and make a living off of the escalations. Still not quite as good as having exclusive access to havens and sanctums in an upgraded null system, but good enough.
I honestly haven't had this much fun with anomalies in years lol.

I usually do the anoms while my alt is scanning for signatures and have seen quite a few more 4/10's from Hideaways and Refuges in Caldari space. Some times I use that when I just can't find a scanned one. The loot is about the same but now that it is happening more often the loot value is way down from where it was.
The locations is varying wildly though. Got one that was in a null system last week.
I have not noticed any change in the chances from unrated sites but the number of jumps is all over the place and I have seen it give me a site that is in a high sec island system.

I'm about to commit a crime I regularly accuse others of... but **** it. My loot drops on unrated sites has been way up. Yes, this is only a sample of a half dozen or so, but hot damn, Powergrids don't normally make you half a billion. Escalation rate there also seems to be up.
Jumps are also down (from 20+ to what seems to be a max of 8), and whereas it used to be incredibly rare for Powergrids to terminate in low sec it now seems like a normal occurrence (not one as sent me to null yet).
So yeah, it looks like -- based on an admittedly insignificant sample size -- that unrated escalations are also somewhat improved. |

Hey to clarify I'm not talking about running anoms which then have a chance to escalate. I'm talking about unrated cosmic Sig atures that have multiple stages. Did they also buff the chances of anoms escalating?
Good to hear that at least one person has seen an improvement though! |

In low Sec Annex's and Minor Annex's always had a good chance to escalate (greater than 50%) its the outposts that sucked (around or less than 25%). I have not had a chance to run several outpost so I cant say if they are better now.

It seem that CCP thought rare expeditions are things you pick up from anomalies. So they buffed them. Exploration it is NOT. |
