Mining Fleet Bonus - New EVE BUG from CCP
Posted: Sat Jan 22, 2011 12:38 am
Ok guys, if you havent noticed this by now there is a CCP bug when it comes to fleet bonuses. For example for can have 4 miners and a orca...you have set up the fleet correctly with orca toon as squad commander, you get the green tick and all your miners under him..so they get bonuses correct. Ok..this has been going on for a while but since the launch of this new patch i've noticed nearly everytime i've setup my fleet. I have the same setup as above and basically only 2 or 3 of the toons are getting bonuses...so all your timings on TM going to be out. Just then i went on the 2 toons that werent getting bonuses..right-clicked on the miner to see what it said...one said i was getting 255sec (bonus) and the other toon said 341 (no bonus) but clearly both werent getting bonuses. I havent petitioned yet as over obvious reasons
...but yer just a heads up if you experiencing the same thing and wondering why your timings are out.
Re-logging sometimes works, or a simple leave fleet, join fleet works most of the time though. First time i noticed this was my orca toon dropped...but the rest of my miners still mining..i'm like, meh cant be bothered to log in the orca again or change TM settings. Looked at my screen later and wondered why all my toons were still getting 12 blocks of ice on the same timings....lol they were all still getting bonuses
. Thinking..this will be a nice expliot..i couldnt replicate it again
..but yer the problem does exist...and as said seem even worse this patch.
Keep in mind too as this may problay also effect command ships and comm T3s and titan bonuses aswell..so if you pvp and have a damnation or vulture, etc with all the bonus modules on...mite be good to ask random ppl in fleet if they getting bonuses as if it can effect a orca and the mining bonues, i'm dare saying it would effect armour/sheild/etc bonuses in these ships too.
EDIT...well thats lovely, just found out the second client on each TM PC will reset there bonuses...so the first run will be fine but once you dock the bonuses will reset, so in my case first run will be 255sec but once i dock it will go back to 341sec..yet this only happen with the second client..so no idea wtf is going on...yet another ccp fail. Might have to petition this one sooner rather then later....
