Aberration Charge Nodes Broken After Patch?

[Randamz]

I have been running around farming a set of 8 charge nodes for the past week, returning about every 2 hours to run another batch.

Today hoever, the nodes are acting weird. Sometimes I come back hours later and they haven't charged up at all. Other times they go backwards.

I'm aware of the cycle. Make an element, offline timer, then charge up to 5000, then the batteries are charged, then the station charges back to 5000.

I started all 8 nodes within 5 minutes of each other, and checked the closest every 15m or so. But after 2 hours they are all massively out of sync. Some have fully charged batteries but are still not back to 5000, some are still in the dim recovery state.

Anyone else seeing this? Private server, nobody else is touching them.

Getting 3 Element per run is great, but cvoming back to nodes 3-4 hours after using them to find them still offline is a bummer.

Doing some testing, nodes go into statis when you are not around.

I'm pretty sure this was NOT the case pre-patch. Can anyone cocnfirm?

[Randamz]

And luckily I had a standalone server at version .12 and Charge Nodes do NOT go into stasis when you leave.

Hopefully this is a bug, and not intended. :(

I can confirm that nodes are broken since the update by doing into stasis, when they didn't do so before.

Pre Update: You could setup a route with 15 charge nodes and hit them every hour or so to get 15 element per hour. This was slow, but steady increase. It was possible to get like 90 element over six hours of game time.

Post Update: You have to stand beside the nodes to get them to recharge. Your 15 route of nodes now will only give element a single time. You are lucky if you can find 2 or 3 nodes in close enough proximity to stay out of stasis. Assuming you can find 3, you'll earn only 60 element over six hours of game time. NERF.

Yes , node are broken , you will have to stand next to them to recharge , not all node are like that though .

they gonna fix it?

[Beorn]

WC please fix this, I bet you wanted to buff charge nodes but the fact that they go into stasis is more a nerf than a buff.

I revisited a bunch of the charge nodes I used last night. After almost a full day (approx 21 hours) they are only at 1000/5000 recharging up after being shut down. I also watched who was online via a website that tracks players on the server I play on and I know that nobody happened to be online so I'm sure that nobody else used the power nodes.

WTF Wildcard? This is complete BS. You have completely broken power nodes for people who don't play on a higher population server.

Patch notes for 276.42: - Aberration: Fixed issue with Power nodes not recharging when stasised. Requires server update.

My current server version 276.42.

Status on bug? STILL FREAKING THERE. Two hours and a charge node is only at 290/5000. *sigh* What must be done to fix this freaking BS?

Wildcard does have a reputation for saying they fixed a bug only to find that it wasn't actually fixed, this is just another example of that. Get your act together Wildcard.

[Randamz]

Can confirm 276.42 is still broken. Damn, I was all happy to log in and make some element today.

[Beorn]

Ya, same here. I was happy when the new patch 276.42 (Aberration: Fixed issue with Powernodes not recharging when stasised.) came out, but the problem remains, powernodes are NOT RECHARGING WHEN STASISED. Devs I appreciate that you tried to solve the problem but what says in the new patch isn't true yet. please fix it.

Still broke.... If you aren't going to let us get element on Aberration via boss fights, the least you could do is have your stupid charge nodes working properly. Nothing like coming back to a node, 5 hours later, and not being able to do anything with it. I know no one is using them, because I have them locked up in a box surrounded by turrets.

Used 11 charge node, 3 hour later, they are still dead, also if i am standing by one, 8 batteries drain 4k charge and leave it active with 1k charge left and i can make element BUT if i put 8 batteries in and leave, when i come back, it will be completely drained and i will have to wait for it to completely recharge to make element.

Not only do they not recharge in stasis but they also drain to 0 no matter how much batteries are charging if they are charging batteries while in stasis.

Another week goes by and this still isn't fixed... could really use a patch so that I can actually do end game content in this crap without having to afk for 30-45 mins every time I craft 6-9 element....

[=Sarsante=]

Tell me one thing that isnt broken on aberration
