Not So Smart?

I've noticed that since the shoes showed up, our smart gear is not working very well. Used to be with +21 smart gear, and all the smart skills you could uncover the physical evidence pretty much all the time. Now, even with +23 smart gear, almost every case has at least one piece of PE that doesn't show (a note...a footprint).

I can see how this will tend to even things out on hunts in other cities (a Good Thing), since it will reduce the homecourt advantage. but it also makes smart gear generally less useful if it only works some of the time.

Maybe smart gear and skills got downgraded a little too much? what do you guys think?

I haven't noticed a downgrade in my charm,fortunately!

It definitely helps to have smart gear on when you visit the lab.

I just moved to a new agency trying to build up smart gear, so for the past few days I haven't been using it at all, and I still find 75% of the evidence

And I haven't had a problem in the crime lab either....

With my +18 smart bonus I usually identify all the evidences in the almost impossible cases (with really little exceptions), while solving favors I find more difficulty to identify all the PE.

Really strange indeed...

AHHHHHHHHHH it hit me now too!!! With 23 smart and I didnt identify all the evidence in AI but also in inc hard favor.
Till the shoes came out I had only 21 smart and never failed to identify all evidence. This is indeed disturbing. Ben, are you trying to make sure the game is not too easy?

*is just glad there are more people noticing this now, as otherwise she'd have to be afraid she was going crazy*

It's still happening to me, and I assume it is the way things are from now on, that it is purposeful on Ben's part -- until it changes or I am corrected, of course!

Every now & then, while in Omega & solving only the "Almost Impossible Cases," I'd open one up & find a lack of crime scene evidence, & sometimes none. It didn't matter if I had on all smart's gear over twenty points in value, it still happened. Also, some cases didn't give a client, suspects names & crime scene evidence. Of course I quit these...LOL. Since I'm not playing in an agency & solving easier cases I've not had a problem. Not sure if this had anything to do with it.???

what i've noticed with my cases is soemtimes i get no clues at all... even at incredibly hard level.. and this is really strange for me, because i have about 5 pts in smarts... so i don't know what's going on

5 pts is not a lot. Most of the ppl in agencies use 20-23 smart ;)

I know it's not a lot, but when i have less than that for somebody who's tough and charming I get so much physical evidence it's annoying.. then when i need it, nada.
