MIB rate is really bad

Post by Direwolf »

MIB rate is really bad, got GM 100 fishing last night, fished for 2 hours since then and ZERO MIB's. This is VERY uncharacteristic of the way the game used to be in T2A.

You will find over a longer period of time that it'll average out properly.

I hate to be the one to bring up an old topic ... but this is still indeed a Problem

fishing for about 27 hours with 3 GM fishermen and i only Pulled up 42 Mib's,

the 1 mib per hour average should have put me somewhere in the nieghborhood of 81 Mib's

This was very on topic "fool." I believe that taking breaks and using data gathered in chunks could very well skew the results. For best results you'll want to use data gathered in a single session.

well believe me .. my runs were an average of 4 to 6 hours long

and even if my 27 hours were broken up, the average should have been closer than .5 MIB's per hour

The Averages seem to be REAL Sloppy, this is suppose to be an ERA Accurate server! but the details seem to have slipped in the Fishing Dept.

under normal circumstances the Average Player does NOT get to Play for 5+ hours at a time. which would deture a lot of people from even attempting to try Fishing, I for one would like to see this code adjusted so that the average Single Account Player has a better chance. at abtaining an MIB thus making Fishing more viable!

5 hours of straight fishing is an awful way to spend an afternoon!

As long as my adjustment of your quote is incorrect, and your intentions are pure I agree with this post.
