Re: Artifacting

+1 EXCEPT for lvl 3 on alpha.

Re: Artifacting

This would be legit if T1 alpha = T1 beta, which is not the case. On beta you have far better chance of worthfull loot in T1 than on alpha (still can have in both cases bad luck)

Re: Artifacting

Everything that can drop in an artifact has double chance to drop in a level1 beta or gamma artifact compared to a level1 alpha artifact. (other than kernels and fragments, which always drop)

Re: Artifacting

I want to up that in gamma.  I want more kernels and frags.  Hell I'd love to see frag caches which had 200 fragments in it on gamma.  The reason being I want to see more artifacters there.

Re: Artifacting

I can confirm that I assumed that same named drops would drop the same no matter where they are found. Another way to enforce this instaed of changing the drops would be to rename them.

for each non-allied artifacter you get into gamma by increasing the "worth" of the drop, you gain millions of assets per hour farmed in 100 safety for your own corp.

how do you balance that?

Re: Artifacting

Gamma - and by extension, Beta - is only 100% safe for us because none of you dare or are able to contest us, not because the game mechanics are at fault.

wrong,

just the fact that 100% safety exists, is due to faulty game mechanics.

There is no 100% safety in a Pvp game.  If you believe there's 100% safety, your part of the problem.

Re: Artifacting

100% safe from players doesn't equate to 100% safe from NPCs.

And yeah, Annihilator has been part of the problem that needs to be purged from the game.

Re: Artifacting

NPCs are 100% predictable, as are youre responses.

Re: Artifacting

Our 100% security from players is gained through our military warmachine, not through game mechanics.
