Morning all!

Question: Is it the more hit catchers you have open, the less chance you have of catching because each hit catcher is searching slower?

Question: Is it the more hit catchers you have open, the less chance you have of catching because each hit catcher is searching slower?

Ohhhh, good question! I haven't ever noticed a difference, but I do notice a difference depending on WHICH hit catcher I use.

Do you mean more than one instance of hit catcher open? That will cause you more PRE (Page Request Errors), which will decrease your chances of catching anything.

If you have one Hit Catcher open, but multiple items trying to be caught, it will cycle through those items. So each extra Hit you're trying to catch will slow the process down. I generally don't try to have more have 3-4 items trying to be caught on a slow day at a time.

Yes, I mean multiple items trying to be caught with one hit catcher. Thanks for the response. I notice high dollar hits are almost always grabbed by someone else. Is that because their computer is faster or they are just clicking faster?

It could be a number of factors. They grabbed the Hit a nano-second quicker, or everyone is trying to grab it at the same time, so it's "throttled." If you don't get it right away, try to make note of the when the Hit timer is set to expire. There's always a chance to get a return.

I found out how much i get for merit pay in July. Between that and the city approving a 3.25% raise for all employees, my yearly salary will increase about $1,500.

It sounds cool except it really only comes out to like a 7 cent an hour raise, lol.
