@@jakeledd youre kidding me.... They nerfed the absolute OUTSTANDING way of getting merits, not the "decent" one. People were getting rank 100+ in 2 days. Thats ridiculous. Are you people so eager to have literally zero motives to play? PP rewards arent even that game changing wtf
I think this just has been nerfed - people are saying supply is very low now for those most used rares... Merits payout seems unchanged as I'm currently delivering stockpiled rares from my carrier
Payout's are unchanged as far as I can tell but they have made the supply of them around 1/4 of what they were previous. Brew is now only 32 supply max.
I don't think it's a nerf as much as the simulation doing the same thing it's always done... when you get too manyy buyers, it starts reducing the supply per buyer. Some locations still selling full amounts, but the most popular ones selling less than full
@@AtlasRandGaming Yep, I just went to look for my second load of Soontil Relics, and they had the full 80t for me, while I see people complaining that they can only see 30 tonnes. It looks like the stock is per player, and the more you buy in a short period of time, reduces the total stock level for you. But as far as I was aware, this is how Elite has always managed the commodity market. In-demand items get lower stock back. Besides, if everyone bought 1000's of tonnes of a rare to sell, it wouldn't be rare anymore. 🤷♂
Are you pledged to a power that normally gives a bonus to rare trading? I pledged to Pranav and I only get 3100 doing Soontil Relics and only got 4100 doing Corn/Beer. And yes I went the correct distance.
Here's a secret guys. Drop onto your stronghold carrier, scroll through all the local ships, you will instantly get merits as if you scanned them, circa 200-300 in total. Log out, log in, repeat. Insanely boring, but very quick and reliable, about 200 merits a minute, or 12000 an hour. The relog grind is back baby ELITE DANGEROUS 2025.
not nerfed.. but yes they are lower... this is a normal thing that always happend automatically when a lot of people are buying the exact same thing... happens in community goals usually.
I don't think Frontier haven't done anything. I'm still seeing 80t of Soontil Relics, while others say they are only getting 30 tonnes. It seems the stock levels are per player, and depend on how much you've bought in a short period of time. This is how the commodity market has always operated though, so it's nothing different. It's just that everyone and their dog are trying to buy rares right now, and the market is drying up for them.
Sharon Lee is down to 32 tons of brew max right now.. no more 128. George Lucas also had less rare goods.
Can confirm.
They nerfed the one good decent way to get merits.. sigh
in typical fdev fashion, they don't buff the underwhelming stuff but nerf the good stuff. brilliant.
@@tutufuzi100 Artificially extending the amount of grinding needed is what is typical, even engineering changes and sco is a miracle

nice vid man. really like ur content . we'd be lost without u in pp2.0
Just noticed you get 5 merits for scanning a FSD wake - and you can scan the same wake over and over till it expires and get 5 merits each time.
Didn't know that! cool!
I just did this with 470 units and only got 7200 merits, and only then did I realise I didn't fly 200LY away from where I bought them from 😂😭
Sharon Lee is back in Boom, but the nerf hammer is out. 48 tons only

@@AtlasRandGaming people on the forums are saying this never happened outside of BGS weekly tick so it had to be done manually by FDev
Press F for Ngurii
Mic sounds good!
Soontill relics at Ngurii nerfed now. Down to 16T per buy. This is why we can't have nice things.
Sorry I bough them all last week :)
@@AtlasRandGaming please sir, may I have some?
So what automation is talking to you in the video? Links and setup if you don't mind?
@@noctislupus1 will do video on it soon. ED Discovery is the one you hear in video. But I use several normally that talk for that full crew feel
@@AtlasRandGaming lmao. I just heard you mention it in the video and got it. Thanks.
All cool. Still wish FDev had the guts to make PP2 open only.
Much better mic now, your were breathing, drinking, eating, talking in the phone and watching netflix, all in the microphone LOL

@@hibiki54no bonuses count toward merits. Bonuses show up as bonds you can cash in.
Apologies for being so thick, but... how do you get 128 of a rare good again? (Is a carrier required?)
You just buy it at the respective station, some rares have higher stock
Carier not required. Just go to the goods that sell in larger quantities like in the video.

anyone got abuild for a ship i could use instead of type 8?
@@nunix16 I use type 8 for this.
Frontier has just massively lowered the stock levels of rare goods, so I'm done, uninstalled and never coming back, good luck to the rest of you.
