storms have been nerfed a lot... bring them back! increases player interaction and retention

+1

Every sector in the game should have a permanent storm, for maximum player interaction and retention! Why hasn't this been done?

Sarcasm is unhelpful.

I don't think we've done anything to "nerf" storms in a really long time. What is it that you want "brought back"?

Sorry Inc, but OP keeps making low-effort suggestion posts, hence the reaction.

@incarnate We still get storms in azek... when I first started a decade+ ago... there would be storms between dau and edras. FAMY would catch me. Now, It could be odds of when I'm playing... but... I'd think chase jumping between two systems that the odds of catching a storm should be higher than just jumping through azek. I can't recall the last time I've seen a nyruis or verasi storm between any wh when chasing. But, when I chase someone through azek... i'm almost guaranteed a storm.

I admit I don't have the data to back this up, like I said but azek is much more stormier between dau and latos wh's when I'm chasing someone then the nyruis and versasi systems combinded.

btw... don't reduce storms in azek ;) If there is a systematic reason for this I accept it.

there is more chance of hitting a storm in azek than those two systems because of how azek's asteroid rings are aligned, giving a LOT of possible storm sectors right along the path of wormhole to wormhole travel. Its entirely random what asteroid fields will get a storm, but there are more possible "tries", as a way of putting it, to run into one in azek just due to its alignment.

i.e. the devs never did anything, you're just not accounting for azek's natural asteroid alignment.

I don't know if this is simply trolling but, the devs have never did anything with the chances of ion storms spawning. Like Luxen said more asteroid fields you go through chance goes up. Azek, Odia, Jallik and more are all very annoying systems but, simply plotting around it saves plenty of time and extra travel.

OP apparently has forgotten people can plot around ion storms and ion storms are completely random.

I hope OP puts more effort and thinking into making future suggestion posts.

@incarnate... +1 luxen's idea... more asteroid belts in verasi and nyruis. it's a bit too easy to fly through those systems.
