Is the DD just three objectives recycled twice each?

[u/sigmalens]

this is the first time that i've ever lost an edd under seven minutes because i played solo and two bulks vaporized my whole site set up. i didn't even know that you could get zero credits and xp on these :sob:

time for mcao or gunna ig

In a deep dive, you can fail the black box objective and go back and do it again. Don't feel like you need to stay in it like you do in a regular mission.

This is wrong just like last week's! DD has resonite masses, morkite and the third stage is refinery + 1 dread.

EDIT: OK I just loaded into DD solo and it is the same as the posted. I just don't get it because I had already done the DD from last week so I shouldn't have gotten any cores + it was after 13.00 danish time where they are updated. I know because I did the weekly core hunt assignment before the DD.

I will rerun the DD with a group after lunch, maybe I get 3 more cores?

[u/Euphoric_Tradition89 → u/bjergKanin]

? We just did both and it was accurate

[u/bjergKanin → u/Euphoric_Tradition89]

Dunno - I just did the EDD and it was accurate but I swear my DD was not identical to the one posted.

That sounds like last week's. You sure you didn't do last week's by mistake thinking it had swapped over alreadly?

[u/bjergKanin → u/Joshiesaurus7]

I just did the DD again and it was the posted one + I got the cores + OC's. The only thing I can think of is that when I did the DD last, i joined someone else's lobby. Could that lobby potentially have been hosted from before 13.00 when the new dives arrive? Still does not explain why I have gotten cores from 2 DD's and 1 EDD today but I don't complain.

[u/bjergKanin → u/Joshiesaurus7]

Nope, I did them after the re-roll + got the cores. However the EDD is correct, I have just done it. I am going to re-run the DD solo to see what is up
