Patch Notes for 2024-11-15.1

Features & Changes

Miscellaneous

  • Tick.png Updated - Revenant DLI rewards for Day 10 and Day 14 have been swapped so players don't have to login for all 14 days to get the biggest reward.

Missions & NPCs

With the renovation update to Nullsec anomalies, and bug fixes for the NPC dreadnoughts released in Revenant, we did not intend to significantly impact Nullsec income with the changes to the NPCs warping in instead of spawning in place. We also have not made any intentional changes to the AI used by the NPCs which would cause them to attack drones more frequently.

To address these concerns, we are increasing several Battleship and Battlecruiser NPC bounties found primarily in Nullsec by between 30-40% to compensate for the reductions in efficiency for AoE farming (Smartbomb, Stormbringer and Thunderchild ratting) due to the NPCs warping in and potentially requiring higher level of activity for increased drone management for drone setups. We are also happy for this to be a significant boost for more active forms of ratting that were not as directly impacted, such as Marauder ratting.

  • Question.png To Be Determined   - Increased the bounties on several NPCs found primarily in Nullsec Anomalies by 30-40%.
  • Question.png To Be Determined   - This results in the following total average bounty increases for these popular Nullsec anomalies:
    • Hubs: 28.40%
    • Rally Points: 28.50%
    • Patrols: 30.20%
    • Havens: 31.70%
    • Forsaken Hubs: 34.50%
    • Hordes: 34.70%
    • Sanctums: 35.70%
    • Forsaken Sanctums & Teeming Hordes: 36.00%}}

Zarzakh

  • Question.png To Be Determined   - Increased the Radius of the Zarzakh Raitaru item traders to be the same as a regular Raitaru (So players don't have to be so close to it/inside the 3D Asset).
  • Question.png To Be Determined   - Increased the minimum interaction range needed to trade with the item traders from 2.5km to 10km.
