Hi just some thoughts on the elder tributes so far as I have been grinding since September VU!
There's a weird thing with the qaffaz, the spawn east of snow mountain there is a mix of maturities from Juvenile to guardian which would be perfect for the two daily missions but for some reason there are no Youngs in the spawn? I know there is a spawn near GV but it would be nice if this spawn got tweaked to match it as it can get a bit busy round GV.
Mining bonus tribute mission needs rebalancing I think.
I started it on the day of the patch in December and it has taken me 5 1/2 weeks to complete which is a little excessive.
I've been mining every day (except for about 6 days off in total) dropping around 2-300 ped of probes doing the daily tribute missions so approximately 8-9k ped in probes.
Now I've finished it seems clear it is based on the claim point system and needs about 350 points to finish and it is not going to be realistic to finish in one week.
Taking LBML data Aqeeq drops 10% and Nawa drops 14% of times. So an average of 12%.
Most nawa claims are Size 2 - 4 and Aqeeq 3 -5 soavarage that to a Size 4 = 2 points per claim
350 points (ish) = 350/2 = 175 claims
at a drop rate of 12% that = 1458 total claims
roughly speaking that equates to 33% of drops (on a good day!)
So to complete the mission on avarage with a normal finder (F101 F105 etc) you need to drop 1458x3 = 4375 drops!!!
This is too much and with the week long cool down this maens a normal miner gets to finish the mission once per 6 or 7 weeks which can't be the intention.
I think it would be better if either it required additional resources to complete, or get rid of the weekly title and cooldown or most prefered base it on amount of ore extracted like the caly daily token missions as a lot of players are using TT finders which get size 1-3 claims usually and size 1-2 don't always count.
Just my thoughts so far. It is a good mission just needs a tweak.
