Mirror Invasion nerfed?

[asimogorov]

So I go on Mirror Invasion today for my usual Skill point making, and I noticed there were hardly any foes to kill on Normal mode. This was not the case, you never had to fly around looking for foes, they used to be all around you, and you could go on your merry way killing them.

I used to make approximately 4100 skill points on an average over the last 10 days or so, but today made just under 1200, that feels like a nerf to me. This was repeated and reproducible on 2 separate instances.

Let me know if that is the case or was it just me?

I think it depends, if your team was really good at closing the rifts before anything spawned from them, then it's reasonable to expect less XP from the pew pew. But if nothing was spawning from open rifts then this is worrying indeed.

one of my runs yesterday had ships coming out all day. Later last night we had a really good team and the last 2 minutes we didn't have any rifts opening. I don't know the mechanics of it, meaning say only 25 rifts total are allowed but I think we closed 21 maybe, but we weren't intentionally closing them all the time either.

I'll keep it in mind when I run it today and see what I get.

[Gabriel Lyons]

yeah I had a run yesterday with 5 tac captains and we closed all rifts and mopped up the enemies with 4 minutes left on the clock. it depends on the DPS you have in there and on wether they're just destroying or closing too.

I had a run where we had to wait 4:30 without any enemies coming at us before it would finnish....

Best I've done is a 2min wait. I've had some rubbish groups though too, a couple that have let the Starbase drop down to 0%, pretty sure there may have been some AFK going on there.

The 2 Minute Wait was a Bug Last Year that was Fixed giving an endles supply of Rifts to Close...

I'm assuming that the Fix will be arriving soon

[LBlackmoor]

Heh, you would think that they could have activated the version of the event that already had the fix in. But I don't mind too much. Shows your doing well.

In the previous runs for the event, there seemed to be a cap on how many portals would spawn, and it wasn't always the same. Some people speculated it was tied to which flagship appeared at the end, but I don't think anyone actually managed to link them all. Some runs, portals would stop at 18, others they'd stop at 23 or 25, others they'd still be going at 32 when the phase ended.

They only sorta-kinda fixed it. After the fix I never saw another one stop below 20, but did still have them stop early at 20-25.

I was on a team of 12th members and we closed 31 rifts and were still getting enemies right up until the last 30 secs or so.

However, all 3 runs yesterday were completely dead compared to earlier runs.
