The Europa and Cosmodrome Patrols are world-wide, and even work in lost sectors! I love this so much, and haven’t seen any one mention it. It’s so nice to be able to always grab a patrol without worrying about being locked into a specific area. I would love to see this implemented in other locations.
External link →Hey all, I want to note that these systemic changes affect patrols on *all* planets (e.g. collect patrols on EDZ, Nessus, etc. can also be completed in any bubble) though we're aware the strings still name a specific bubble. Our design mentality has also shifted as many have noticed (more heavily favor kill patrols, etc.) and this shift is only reflected in the new content (Europa/Cosmo). Glad you're enjoying the update and we look forward to hearing more feedback!
Also, the Toland patrols on Luna complete immediately now instead of having to wait for Toland's monologues to finish.
A part of me misses the narrative, but these are now the quickest patrols to do.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Dreaming City ones are the same, but the travel time between pickup and destination will be higher.
Are you saying the dialogue doesn't play at all or just that the patrol completes at the start and you have the choice to stick around and listen or run off? If the former that definitely sounds like a bug and I can go poke people about it!
I noticed an issue with the Toland Patrols while farming them for Cipher Decoders a couple weeks back, and I figure you're probably the perfect person to bring it up to.
Sometimes when picking up the Toland patrol, he would not spawn and we wouldn't be able to interact with him to finish it, so we'd abandon it after a couple of minutes. It didn't happen every time, of course.
I don't know if there's some internal cooldown (My clan mate and I did Toland Patrols exclusively) but my clannie and I thought maybe someone else in the instance interacted with him or was doing another Toland Patrol in the same area so he wouldn't spawn.
Obviously I have no idea, and have no recording of it happening, but figured I'd let the man himself know. Thanks man!
I've made note and when I return to the office I'll poke folks about this as it sounds like those patrols may have a few issues. Thanks for the report!
