Thread: Have they nerfed Ore?
I have a 65% spot (unless it shifts today) but I have to run like 8km round trip from Coronet (closest town). That's just ore though. That doesn't count all the others I have that we need. Steel, copper, gas, chem, alum.
Surefoot, are you saying you've actually seen a 90% concentration of ore before? WOW!!
The best I have ever een was 72%, and there were hundreds of harvesters for as far as you could see.

YES
I was playing on Test Center from about week 1 till week 10, as an Architect. I remember very distinctlly thinking at some point "I cant believe it, they nerfed Ore now." Befre the nerf, I woudl search out (Naboo/Theed) spots better than 70% for my harvestors. After the nerf, I counted myself lucky to find 51%. That nerf was what motivated me to switch to DE, because steel was still plentiful. I still keep up with all mineral and chemical resources on my Live server, and just recently I found, for the first time since the nerf, a 70% Ore spot. Pristine and uncluttered by any player structures. Carbonate too. I was in shock. And immedietaly screamed for my Guild mates to bring out the heavies. Now, about 4 days later, there are harvestors as far as the eye can see.
SOE is trying to get control of the economy (and reducing the load on that STUPID database) by making it harder to get the resources to make things. It wasn't too much later that they "fixed" the resource shifting so that individua resources shifted indepenantly of others (also makes it harder to make stuff). Now we are facing a possible nerf to Hopper capacities (which means casual gamers will have a harder time getitng resources to make as many items).
for the love of...... 90%? the highest I've ever found was 69% and you couldn't build there cuz it was in town.
I don't travel to remote planets much, maybe thats where you guys find these, but i'm thrilled to get on a 60% spot normally.
