Did ore respawn rate drop in build 548?

Usually I can mine 150 to 200 silver ore per hour with little to no downtime waiting for node respawns in the last room in the Elysium mines.

Last night I was barely able to mine 100 silver ore per hour and there were several times when I was standing around waiting for node respawns.

Has anyone else seen this or was I just unlucky last night?

 

I noticed same situation, i think it a bit complex. MC rate get down too. I think it was done in R38.

 

Yes, node respawn times seem to have been nerfed in the latest patch. Really makes gathering time buffs worthless.

 

Yes, I noticed a significant drop in node respawns in Verdantis. The mobs, not so much. :/ Fighting the same for less return.

 

I felt this as well... my mining output was below my output before the patch... T_T

 

I have noticed this as well. I have to go all the way through, from top to bottom, in Elysium before the top will be semi-respawned. My output is about half of what it used to be

 

Don´t need any potions (Precision and Expedience) any longer for mining Gold and Silver in Elysium and Graff Gem Mines.
I understand, that they had to nerfe the Spawn rate a bit at mining; i made 1000 ores as GM Miner before patch in 3 hoors using Potions; without Potions round about 1000 Ores in 5 hours.
Now, after testing one week: it does not care any longer if I use potions. 150 Ores per Hour with or without Potions.
Result: noone has to buy Potions any longer; market ist down

 

You would do good to have as much meticulous as possible

 

Yes, meticulous collection is much more important now. Extra speed is worthless.

 

My copper mining spot started at like 300 an hour after persistence. It then dropped to 100 hour a few releases ago and now Im luck to get 100 in 3 hours.

Im done mining and I am truly surprised that anyone else in this game with the exception of extreme OCD people would subject themselves to mining all day long.

I usually buy silver and gold and even those sources are drying up or the price is skyrocketing.

Simply put, this is truly a failure in planning from our devs

 

They can keep track of all types of resources present in the world. It wouldn't surprise me to know they are building the system to regulate itself, just like COTOs.

 

The ore acquisition rate is already severely hampered by the fact that you will spend more time fighting, than mining, in just about any mine.
It would be nice, if after you cleared all the monsters, there was actually some ore to get!
A mine doesn't even spawn ore fast enough for one single miner, solo in the zone. It really could use a bit of a boost.
