I have a weird suspicion that when I reset with a shade kill, my web spawns with some properties or proclivities, patterns I notice.
I’m only anecdotal at this moment but would be curious if others have a similar inkling worth investigating.
I uncovered ~250 nodes in Black Sun(315) on my recent clear and found exactly 2 unique/set helms node but 12 shields and 0 vessels of chaos. Like it was such an unbelievably bad web that I have to try to investigate.
This time (368 I believe) I’ve found 3 in my first few node clears.
Has a scientist tried to look at any of the echo web data, such as frequency of x after y or z. If > thens etc.
I would be happy to spend a couple hours methodologically uncovering an entire web.
Here is one of my hypotheses: node affix duration is not entirely random. I believe the nodes’ preceding durations could be influencing succeeding durations. (Apart from distance from spawn)
A second: Reward type depends to some degree on the preceding node or sequence also.
Why this hypothesis? I noticed when I hit many “desirable” nodes (exalt/targeted) in an area, that area seemed to contain more vessel of chaos or at least I perceived it as more likely too. (Given the same distance from the start) (Maybe some kind of bias that aggressively kept searching once I found 1, but I took that into account)
Why bother? It could give decision optimization on how/where we path or when we reset our web.
