crannog Report post Posted June 17, 2015 (edited) Either something is wrong, or I have just got really bad luck!! Harvesting coal today, I lost 3 harvester medallions in 6 hours. I have skeptic perk, so with neutral astro I shouldn't be losing them like this ! Even before i took skeptic, I never had losses like this even with very bad astro. (i only took the skeptic perk 2 days ago) Edited June 17, 2015 by crannog Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RipTide Report post Posted June 18, 2015 I completely agree with you that they break far too easy, much easier than before 1.9.4. That being said, my personal rule is if I break one, I won't use another for at least 24 hours. Ever since 1.9.4, I've not been able to keep one for an hour, even waiting days or a week appart.

revi Report post Posted June 23, 2015 Well, to prove that we'd need all regular users of harvester medallions to post at least the number of 'major' events while using a medallion, and the number of medallions broken. Reports only from those that broke more than they feel is reasonable/normal are useless to prove anything... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elke Report post Posted June 23, 2015 Is there any statistic on how often they *used* to break? I feel like it's breaking more often than before - but as you say - without some hard(er) statistical evidence it all boils down to be much more likely perception bias by a few users (including myself). If people have logs enabled, it probably is relatively easy to filter those in a scripted way for the events and the breakages. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zilding Report post Posted June 23, 2015 I too feel like the breakage rate is increased. Did some poking around in my chat logs. What I'm seeing appears to be a significant increase in major events in June. Harvmed breakage rate does not seem different. Note: both me and alt wear harvmeds 99% of the time, regardless of astro. Zilding: (month|majors|harvmed breaks) 2014-01|720|24 2014-02|544|19 2014-03|660|28 2014-04|734|15 2014-05|440|19 2014-06|60|1 2014-07|248|12 2014-08|658|25 2014-09|421|17 2014-10|213|9 2014-11|362|19 2014-12|302|17 2015-01|403|19 2015-02|242|10 2015-03|458|17 2015-04|193|11 2015-05|258|7 2015-06|968|29 Gnidliz: 201404|45|0 201405|165|2 201406|59|1 201407|395|12 201408|697|24 201409|554|17 201410|149|4 201411|360|9 201412|358|10 201501|614|24 201502|438|9 201503|338|7 201504|358|12 201505|184|7 201506|1207|33 Z Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
revi Report post Posted June 23, 2015 Well, from Zildings data I notice several things: - the average break rate hasn't changed: over the whole period, the average break rate for Zilding was 3.8 medallions/ 100 events, varying between 1.7 and 5.7, for gnidliz 2,9, varying between 0 and 3.9. - for the last two months those rates were 2.7 and 3 for Zilding, 3.8 and 2.7 for Gnidliz - only the last month seems to have an unusually high number of events (but did he harvest more, or different items?). And the change to 1.9.4 was May, 8th... (with another update June, 9th) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
