I haven't, but I'm assuming that the underlying question is whether the patch changed anything.
The update notes only made reference to a couple of fixes to CUL desynth, so I would be very surprised if anything is different yet.

No changes to favors so far.

This post on german forum today states that they're still working on it (i.e. spawn rates and favor duration):

I have. Went to sea of clouds to mine. First 13 minutes yielded nothing. Then 2 nodes spawned back to back. None after that.
That should answer your underlaying question, I think.


You know a system really has you stressed doing it when a node can literally spawn at the last second as it happend for me..had I finished the regular node half a second later it would not have appeared.

I have made 18mil on favor items. Getting the purified coke and razi myself and they sell super fast on the market. So i kinda hope they dont change it

I think the sells/week will stay the same, if they just make their duration 5/6 min and spawn rate x3 or x2.5 as well.
But we'd save a lot of time.

I sincerely hope it's not just a minor tweak to buff duration and drop rates. They could have hotfixed something like that yesterday. If they're taking their time, I hope for a more substantial change that really fixes some of the bigger issues with the system instead of the band-aid we got a week ago.

I would assume it will be patched at a script reset.

I wouldn't keep your hopes up. As much as it would be the logical time to do "something", it's unlikely based on this:

Pending an emergency maintenance, this is like the weather forecast of any upcoming maintenance XD.

With that said, though, I hope I'm wrong.

Given that they changed the scrip values for trade-ins during a Monday/Tuesday update, I wouldn't hold my breath on a midweek patch either.
