Has there been an overseer nerf?

    I have noticed a significant higher failure rate of overseers. Not since this recent patch but the one prior. Where I used to see a failure maybe once every few days, now I am seeing them every other day and in some occasions have seen them twice in one run. These failures are not high difficulty mission nor are their any significant differences in success %. Curious to see if others experiencing the same.

    No. Still a blue moon occurrence for me.

    The only time I have issues with failures is when I stay logged into the same character in the world for over 24 hours. Had a failure the other day and that character had been in the world for over a day.

    Sorry.

    I would double check my computer time sync though if you are noticing failures. Overseers is known for clock time sensitivity.

    I run overseer on 4 accounts x2 day and rarely see failures.

    Ok something has definitely changed - 4 out of 5 failures on 1 toon on 1 run

    Failures seem to come in streaks for me. They are highly random, as they should be.

    replied to your post in the bug forum, but be sure to always log out to character select at some point between starting quests and claiming them. I do OS on 5 accounts daily (while my morning coffee is brewing) and almost never see a failure unless I leave a character logged in overnight.

    The only time I see an increase in failures was a year or two ago when I tried finishing tasks early using DBC. Seemed to be a higher failure rate then letting them run out the clock.

    Corwyhn is correct here. I see a much higher failure rate when paying for the quests to finish early. Letting them run out gives better odds of success.

    Someone mentioned that there was a bug that increased failure chances when using the pay to finish. The work around was that if you logged out between starting the quest and paying to finish it, it would have normal success rates again.

    I knew I wasn't crazy...well, about this at least

    Only time I ever see failures is on free to play accounts. Quite common there.

    I had a spike of failures one week a while ago. Made me wonder if things had changed, but then it went back to 100% success for months. RNG is RNG

    There has been a lot of chatter in main chat concerning a sudden increase in FAIL rates. I have seen none on my accounts. 2 being Silver.

    Not related to the OP but my common conversions now take a minute and 1/4 instead of 10 seconds was that by design?

    Clock was off on my pc causing this error.
