How many pop-ups per sample cycle do you usually get? (by cycle, i mean when your action or mind runs out for most races).

I'm a zabrak and i ROUTINELY get 3-5 pop-ups per sample cycle. No one else I've talked to gets so many. I do NOT afk sample and this is extremely annoying. Not only are waypoint broken more than 1/2 the time (making the redirect pop-up useless), but when a zabrak fails on a 300 action cost sample--it is *painful*.

I have harvesters too...but i sample when camping (don't afk camp either).

Anyway..it seems like i get an awful lot..and this is not uncommon. Almost every time i do a cycle, I get 3-5 pop-ups. You?

Zabraks have the highest amount of mind (primary and secondary stats), so your "cycles" as you call them probably last 2-3 times most peoples. Which would explain you getting 2-3 times the popups. I don't/sample much anymore, but they seem completely random to me. Sometimes I'd get 1, sometimes 2 or 3 right in a row...

Well...my mind is actually lower than my health or action...and my human could sample for exactly twice as long as my zabrak character..it's the action that kills me, on both characters. Plus, my substats on my zabrak are very very low (even though they're maxed) so there is very little regeneration in between each sample.

It just seems very high to me..my pop-up rate..and my human character doesn't get as many...even though she can sample longer.

On the live servers I'm human - with maxed secondary stats, on test I am a zabrak - as soon as I get added to the correspondent terminal list, i'll check this to see if I notice a difference too. I can't think of a reason why you would be seeing this - but I'll try to track it down.
