what happend to escalations?

[Flying Fish]

i did like 16 combat sites today and i didnt get a single escalation i did however get 2 shadow serpentis spawns that dropped ammo did ccp lower the escalation spawn rate or something?

Haven't done combat sites in awhile, but sometimes there are long droughts like that.

It does seem lower than before, but that could just be RNG giving us the finger. I did get one escalation a few days ago, but i've done a lot of sites in the last week or so.

well for it rly isnt worth it anymore in the same time i can get multiple relic/data sites i might get 1 escalation that might have a bad drop its also pretty crowded in high sec and in low sec you constantly have to jump out when you see someone is trying to scan you down its not worth the risk anymore unless you have a null sec corp so you can safely rat there and do the 10/10 escalations

If they decreased the spawn rate for them, it was a stealth nerf that was never documented. I find it unlikely though. More likely that the RNG hates you right now.

Escalations were not nerfed , it was really just a bad luck. Keep doing them, soon you're gonna have like 5 in a row :)

...and never mind the definition of insanity!

yeah, these things are bugged. I saw a post by CCP_Sledgehammer on reddit though: 'We identified and have now corrected an issue where escalations were being offered each time one could be offered. Escalations are now being offered correctly.' well, it's patch day...

wait doesnt that mean we shouldve gotten a stupid amount of escalations i mean if the game gave one every time it could we would get an insane amount of them but now i cant get any

they should rly make some sort of system to make it less RNG or atleast make the % of an escalation higher the more sites you chain im not sure if thats a thing yet

Why should they ever give people more chances to farm in hs?

well then maybe keep it RNG in high sec and get a more stable system in low and null sec

Why should they ever give people more chances to reliably farm in general? It's not fun, it does nothing good for the economy, it gives little incentive for cooperation.

well exploration also gives little incentive for cooperation but that makes a stupid amount of money today i was in asuperior blood covert thingy one of the hackable things had an high grade omega bpc in it i looked it up and thats one expensive bpc sadly enough i messed up the hack and the hack thing blew up but generally exploration is lower risk than going from site to site in low or null sec

Exploration keeps you on the move. It's also fun, unique to this game and there's a fair bit of decision-making involved.

It is searching for a site to go to in ls and ns. In wh it is competing with cloaky tengu and stratios whom you won't see coming and who will absoultely kill you for a limited number of good holes, while stealing valuable resources from local inhabitants, all while praying that wh doesn't close and doing often unfair puzzles.
Just how in New Eden is that lower risk?

well thats strange becuase i rarely encounter anyone in wormhole space and in my entire time in eve there was only one guy that tried to kill me in wormhole space while i was exploring and he didnt even kill me
