Vast improvement with the steering on PTR

[slowhand90]

I just been onto the test server trying out the new steering update, and with the two steering options now in place, it is much much better. The cry and BP drop rate is much improved also. If this is what we will get then its a great plus to the game.
I think this is the only time I have not moaned on here, so it must be an improvement
For once SS seems to have listened to us and thats a good sign.
Thumbs up from me SS. Well done

it still depends how many bps it will be needed to build the item....on each system...imagine getting 21 BPs to mak 1 item...even if you double the drop...still need that huge number of BPs

 

[slowhand90]

you may have a point on the BPs, but a lot more drop on the PTR than on the maingame and with that at least you can now see you are making progress, rather than sitting at one spot for hours without a single BP dropping in the hope you'll find something, as we do at present. and on that Ill keep an open mind. but the steering now is no comparison to what it was a few days ago, and for me thats progress in the right direction.

i agree with you with the progress...this way if it takes 30min to get 5 bps and you need 20...that means you need another 90min...lmaoooo.....in Draconis of course...not in lower system...because the big purpose of that is the higher system...never had problem finding BP in lower systems...even gold wasnt that hard,....but very different in Draconis.

5 weeks on mender in gazica and no gold at all...with booster...i will try 1 hour to see if i can get some bps parts of it tomorrow...after that test i'll decide if i continue or not

Yep, this update is a pivital time for a lot of high level players, as has been shown with the many posts on the forum. The response from SS indicates they (SS) have, for once, taken notice of our opinions and are trying to put things right, thats a good thing
Now...if only they would listen to us regarding CQs....I wish lol

Oh my am I reading right, or should I get new glasses, slowhand90 is praising something. ^^ :mrorange: ^^

Well jk but thank you, I am glad to see you liked the improvement, the sentiment is mutual.
Even I am able now to steer ingame lol.

The drop rate has been increased, and the mantis are dropping the bps faster, what means you might even be able to decrease the needed time for to gather a bp compared to the old system.
But I also must agree it is a bit too many pieces to gather, and will maybe increase the time needed at higher system bp's.
I think we have to see what happens.
