So 7k uri will get you 3 RO2's, or roughly 25 Polychromium, IF RNG falls in your favor.
I can make 30k/40k uri a day on my small acc (9 drones, spartans, 26 lvl 10 promis) mainly because I can't compete with the multitudes of botters when it comes to killing npc's - That, if I spent it on nothing else would take me approximately 9 days using RO2's (I have no permits left) to build ONE cpu for the event. And that also depends on how RNG is going for me.

Just did another 5 RO2's before logging in to the forum. Got 34 Polychromium and no permits from them.
I only play 2 to 3 hours a day before trying to compete with all the bots drives me to logoff. Making uri is only part of issue, the way to get Polychromium is pure RNG.
Over the last week I've got enough Solidas to build 3 gate excursions, yet only have 449 Polychromium. I started out with 15 Permits and have gained a few along the way used them first, Sooooo.

NB; I've been around this game a long time, I know HOW to make uri - But competing with all the bots makes it harder than it ever used to be, unless you bot.

*How about you take up the challenge I set? Then tell me how easy it is to build these CPU's for the event.

 

Crazy, I just came back after another year break, and I built 4 CPUs so far. Crazy I'm also sitting on 1mil uri right now. Crazy.

Gotchu, I just saw 2nd configs fixed, assumed it meant you could switch. I wasn't like most who jumped on the Gate day 1, I waited a few days.

 

Well goody for you, not everyone has the same luck with RNG.
I spent another 150k uri and 70 odd Prime Coupons last night and now have 569 Polychromium and 3 permits from RO2's.
Many of the prime coupons I got as I went. The permits I got in about the last 10 RO2's I did.

 

Okay? I literally have gone through 150k uri and gotten no poly before, nothing new, but the event building wise is equal to all. Not saying its 100% balanced, but saying it's not fair to any specific player outside newbies who don't even know how to build, means nothing.

 

NO it isn't.. The uri I've literally donated to get nothing in return could have built me 5 kappas. Instead I got ONE cpu for the event which I lost because of poor design ( I ran out of ammo). That CPU didn't even count off the battlepass, again due to poor development.
This "event" is designed for those with plenty of resources and those willing to throw hundreds of dollars at DO for minimal returns based solely on RNG.

I personally will not compete in anything that doesn't have a chance at a return on my investment.

NB; Over 2 accounts, GA and US4 I have wasted over 600k uri - For a return of ZERO CPU's.
Between the trains, botters and now DO using the pretense of an event to suck $ and resources from players - It's time to uninstall DO once again.
And the worst part is, DO are fully aware of what's going on and aren't doing anything to rectify the situation.

The guy who "won" the event on one of my servers admitted to running a script to get resources for the event - He is again in 3rd spot.
How does DO justify allowing blatant cheating.

 

It seems that the only responses getting through to anyone are from the fanboy/girls (confirmation bias)
From what I have been reading in global chat etc is that the majority of players' didn't want this event, yet it got introduced

 

no one needs this astral, but no one listens to us...

 

I see nothing off on my sever, and we're one of the biggest cheat filled servers. I got top 8 I think, and lag killed 1 of my gates, and I lost the other cause my disabled dad whom I take care of had a million requests and it got me killed. Had I not lost 1 of those due to either of those reasons, I'd have taken the top spot which was 58k. I don't know how someone is running a script to acquire the CPUs, makes no sense, other than a botter just doing what bots do, and even then, a normal play can achieve it.

this is a compensation for those who lost weapons and modules in the astral port in the first days of the event

 

I saw that, but that's for a bug. Also that compensations a bit high for people who most likely lost 1 gate. I want compensation for the lag that lost me mine, and it wasn't my internet, it was game lag only.

 

this is the most pathetic ripoff of an event... only way that a player constantly only get x2 ammo and 2026 and then hit/miss ratio is about 35% (and i counted this last gate) and keeps giving lf1 and lf2 lasers... cant be any other way than DO purposely rigged this event... probably cuz they not making that much quarterly any more cuz of the ability to hire sad devos...

 

are you talking about me?

instead of the lost one, they give 3 is it not enough?)

I lost weapons twice in the first port, but I still finished 45, and in the third after 33 they made this compensation and the ship exploded by itself, I had to go through the fourth all night

and I'm still being accused of foul play

 

The person I originally quoted said the person who got #1 on their server admitted to cheating, you can see my quote above.

And I'm saying, I'm willing to bet people for the most part, lost 1 gate, but received 3 in return, while I lost a gate due to game/server lag and got nothing.

 

that's why I'm asking him

 

yep they compensated some but not all for development failures.
I lost my first gate due to running out of ammo, which they have now rectified - with no compensation.
My first gate also didn't count in the battlepass - no compensation for that either..

4 RO5's 4 prime coupons and - This event is nothing more than a scam.
