    It sounds like youre saying it doesnt work correctly, in which would be a bug. Youre not making any actual suggestions here.

Used to the awareness bonuses made a significant difference,  and rng was usual not so unforgiving. 

 

Awareness is broken... maybe it needs a looksie?

Admin?

Going off memory from long ago which may or may not have been of speculation, so beware of inaccuracies:

 

The city finds are from a shared pool of items. The items are tiered based on value. When a city find comes up, it selects one of the tiers then an item within that tier.

 

I speculate what you're experiencing is because the rules for adding items to the pool of items doesn't adjust for the number of active players so you're competing with more players who also have awareness upgrades. As the number of active players increase, the high tiers "dry up" faster. This make sense from a developer perspective. It's basically a free lottery and they have a known amount of items being injected into the system. 

 

The bottom line is that it's "working as intended" it's unlikely we will see a modification to it. 

 

That being said, it's always fun to find good stuff in the city, so R+

It used to work alot better. Now its centered around activity, and used to be it wasnt. I understand not wanting to reward people that are inactive,  but the system has been greatly nerfed as a result.  If u have 200% awareness,  at the very least should have at least one item a day spawn... fir thise who are in cimpanies that increase the awareness %... they should be finding 2 or more items daily. 

I can 3 or 4 dats and fund one piece of junk like a cou cooling motor or some pcp. 

Ought to be a little better than this...  thats 45 merits for this one ability that is hugely broken. 

Sad

Ok so this is awareness week... i have +50% awareness because of lvl 2 merit in awareness and 10% from education. Keeping in mind that our awareness is supposed to be boosted this week... all week ive found one very low quality desert eaglr, and an empty blood bag.

 

Thats it?

 

Before they nerfed awareness,  a person could find an item possibly 3 tumes a day... and there was a good chance of finding something good. Now... during awarenes boosted week? 

Not great. 

 

Higher awareness: that is boosted awareness should do at least two things...

  1. make the player  more likely to find items in the city.
  2. Increase the likelihood of finding better or higher valued items in the city..
  3.  Also... would be great if awareness worked on the "search cash crime"
