lootcap seems to be gone?

[SellinMyStuff]

for sure something has changed, did they announce anything?

[Methais]

No, but uhhh...that'd be pretty awesome if it's the case. I'm still raking in loot steadily, but I'm running all 3 of my characters together and I have no idea how group mechanics work with it so I figured it was just moving a little slower, assuming the loot cap impact is /3 for each group member. Which I have no idea if it's anything like that or not.

I haven't farmed silvers enough to even approach the hard loot cap in many many months, but I've been doing some testing and tracking lately and hopefully will be hitting the soft loot cap soon so I'll know more in a week or two.

[zephyrii]

Was still in last month

last week my loot was nerfed hard like i had reached the cap, as of a few days ago i stared earning again, and the silver per hour numbers look like what they used to before the lootcap was introduced.

Interesting. Do you hunt with more than one character at a time?

Maybe the GMs changed when the month starts for some strange reason.

[SellinMyStuff]

i never group up, cant find a way to make it more efficient than running solo

[SonoftheNorth]

They probably tweaked the numbers again because too many people were hitting it

[Whirlin]

It's day 10 of the month. The cap resets on the month.

[Luntz]

Pathrager is the hero Gemstone deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero.

It might have been due to an issue with group mechanics in January for all I know, but it took me like 4 days to hit a heavy soft cap then.

February no one gave a shit because DR.

March/April I didn't run in a group most of the time

This month I'm running my trio around together, and so far I see no signs of being soft capped on any of them yet. But I also don't keep track of my silvers, so I have no clue how much I've made so far this month.


TLDR: I don't know either.

On discord when we were talking about it, I proposed a new equation for group lootcap that would provide a weighted average while still scaling and impacting individuals or full groups approaching a collective group lootcap, while not completely minimalizing pre-emptively. However, no word if anything happened with it.

Hopefully people less lazy than me will post some numbers next month off of a clean slate so we can get an idea.

Lootcap still in effect.

hit me around 9m and then much harder around 17m

i just started a fresh cycle, im keeping track this time. Ill post when i start to notice a dip.

[Zanatos]

so is this lootcap around 8 or 9 mil per character per month?

i would like to know when i should stop hunting for loot after i fry.

16m soft cap, 35m hard cap.

My loot hasn't really slowed down to the point it normally would have by this time. Usually I'd be tapped out within the first 5-10 days. But I think there were bugs with groups at first too that are probably fixed now, so it could be just that.

[Fortybox]

Like it matters. They don't publish it because they change it.

Probably why little dev is happening right now. Estild is devoting 23 hours a day to changing the equation every minute and 1 hour to poop.

Only 1 hour?

But I think there were bugs with groups at first too that are probably fixed now, so it could be just that.This is my experience this month too. It almost has to be a change to how it's calculated for groups or nothing else would make sense.

Past few months I was doing like 20% bandits and the rest OSA, carefully splitting up who hit what because of concerns about how it worked with groups and tagging. This month I've been doing like 95% group bandits in a free-for-all with everyone hitting everything and somehow I'm still hitting the cap more slowly.

Feels like the first slowdown for me started when i hit 20m for the month.

[Methais]

It's slowed down for me too, but I'm too lazy to track numbers.

The group bug seems to almost definitely be fixed though or I would have been capped out like 2+ weeks ago.
