Is influence broken?

[bigd]

I can't raise the influence for any minor factions. They don't change at all no matter what I do. Eveybody has the same amount of influence before and after missions.

I've been playing Horizons, not Odyssey and not having any issues raising minor faction rep. It can take a while and I'm not sure if taking the "Influence" reward is better for raising minor faction or not. All I know is that I've been taking "reputation" rewards for raising my Imperial faction quicker which is working perfectly.

Influence states are only updated on server ticks.

So I see where people said the ticker is every 24 hrs. It's going on 4 days and the influence in 3 system so far among the minor factions are still the same. I'm currently allied with 1 faction in each of the 3 systems. I also maxed out on in reputation with the Empire. My actions are having 0 effect on increasing and decreasing minor faction influence. I also see that conflict are on repeat. Same factions fighting at the same place. Here are the screenshots. For 4 days they remain the same. The only thing that change are my rep and standing. Both factions I have screenshot of are at war. Their influence remains the same. Its the same for me in other systems.

Im also making millions by playing the same conflict zone over and over in high intensity zones.

Keep in mind, that it may take a lot to really make a difference in INF as a single player.
Even groups with several pilots can only really change it by a few % per day AFAIK.

Yea but I ve been doing these missions and conflict zone for days and not even a 1% change.

I got up to 79% influence with one faction in a couple of days, but when I got to 100% reputation, the influence score stopped accumulating and it's stuck at 79% even after having done many more missions for that faction. Sometimes, when I'm collecting my reward, it says I have 0% influence with the faction.

So it doesn't update daily, and you CAN get a lot of influence as a single player - just not after you get 100% reputation, it seems.

They're working no problem, I've started two elections and a war in the past week or so.

INF changes depend heavily on the system population. If the population is in the hundreds of millions and up you're barely going to move the needle.

Also, if you try to raise inf by turning in bounties or exploration data, only the first X counts. (About 2 million for bounties) Lots of small hand-ins are worth more than one large one.

And, as someone else said, new influence values update once every 24 hours. If you're looking on Inara check the last update, because if nobody else has been to the system recently you're looking at old figures.

Just FTR, a lot has changed since the OP was posted.

FX, some ticks are now every hour, or on system jump out & back in.
