    Just curious to see if anyone else has seen a dramatic drop in uri rate since the new missions came out. I consider myself a dedicated boxer but also mixing it up with missions, hunting, and killing aliens. This is what I have on board my ship and pet as follows:

    Ship - Spearhead FE for top notched speed (490) and abilities to get around the big boys but also fight those I know I can kill.

    P.E.T - LVL 3 Auto looter, 4 LVL 3 Salvage Protocol, 2 LVL 2 Salvage Protocol (total of 16% extra loot) and 1 LVL 3 Radar Protocol.

    Skills - Luck I 2/2 (4% extra bonus box uri), Tractor Beam II 3/5 (10% increase in bonus box loot)

    On top of everything I have purchased the Bonus Box Doubler thinking this would be a GOOD THING?

    Now before the new missions came out I was doing quite well at an average of 8-9k per hour. I noticed that since the new missions came out or something else happened that I am averaging 3-4k per hour which is really disturbing. Just to let everyone know that I only box in PVP maps to get max uri per box and on an average hour I can get 1500 (give or take) bonus boxes.

    I would like some insight on current dedicated boxers to see if I am doing something wrong or do they actually put a cap on players when they have collected to much uri. I don't understand these numbers as they are currently consistant and I have contacted support to let them know I am not a botter and where I can find out more information regarding the rules of boxing. To no surprise they told me nothing...please help as I have paid money for a box doubler that is good for 8 weeks and I am only into the second week.

    Thanks to all that can help me solve this problem as I don't know if investing on bonus boxes (PET, Skills, BBD, ect.) is such a great idea and maybe others should be informed about these issues.
     
  2. I noticed significant reduction in uri from boxing after i returned from a 3 year haitus
    and another reduction in uri from boxing after the new quests came out.

    Allot of the players are still caught up in the illusion of these new quests giving
    you huge amounts of Ep.. soon as the dust settles more people will realize how
    much less uri you get from quests and boxing.

    (back in the day I used to get 2-3k uri per hour during MHH, last MHH I got 800 :()
     
  3. I remember when you could make 5-7 k uri in 1 hour without box doubler

    Yeah checking numbers again and same thing...would be nice if they informed us of these changes obviously they are focused on mission, killing aliens, etc...guess I wasted money on a game that doesn't allow you to excel. Time to revamp my whole system (skill points, pet skills, ect.). They should offer instead of a box doubler an Alien Reward Doubler at least it would make sense for players to kill more and be involved in the new missions. You would think that bigpoint would allow us premium players an extended amount of time to colllect awards if we purchased the BBD before this new set up came into play.

    Sad none the less at least all I lose is the invested Seprom and PET protocols....

    oh not to mentions fifteen bucks on a useless bonus box doubler...

    These days bonus boxs should be changed to credit boxs thats what 90% of the time you get in them.

    They've reduced the amount of uridium a player can get under the guise of "reducing botting". When actually all they had to do was ban the player botting.
    So basically every day you get a diminishing returns when collecting bonus boxes, so eventually after 1-2 hours you'll get practically 0 uridium from boxes.
    So instead of helping their players, they've shot the less wealthy player in the kneecaps because they can.

    Screaming buy uridium at us REMOVED wont make us buy uridium... More like make more players sit at portals at talk to their friends. Which is what 60% of players do now.

    As Sparta said, to combat people botting for boxes constantly, they have introduced a new system which gives diminishing rewards the longer you box (like the one where killing the same person constantly gives less rewards)
     
  9. Done bonus boxes for an hour had 800 uri no gg spins and mostly creds which I don't want , so these days not even worth the time to box just thats my opinion.

    Game seems to be getting worse and worse think they trying to get more people to pay.

    "Panem et circenses" (Bread and circuses). That is what are they up to. They want to satisfy us with all new quests, new "technology" and others. So, when are people satisfied, they will buy more and more with real money. They are using just good psychology.
     
  11. i will check into this myself if the uri per hour has dropped i will turning off the auto buy feature for my bonus box doubler, advantage rebate, and premium this game just isnt worth it anymore. will start posting negs about it in my blog as well 300k followers can do a lot when they all start blog neg responses :)

    I have noticed so far in the past few weeks that boxing starts off great then declines throughout the day (pending how many hours boxed) till you are making next to none. It almost seems to be a daily capping system in place to direct players to do something else. I have had to really mix up the game play in order for me to enjoy the game and not feel cheated but do love boxing and pvp battles. I did spend alot of time on the upgrades to increase looting but have realized that its a regulated uri system. As a dedicated paying player it would be nice to know what the regulations are and how frequent they change as I haven't seen one bot in the pvp maps ever since they cracked down on the hackers (thank goodness!). o_O

    I think the biggest thing that gets me going is the fact that these pally kings can sit, collect pally 24/7 without paying for anything and still get further ahead (becoming ufe) than us unfortunate players who can't get into the pally fields and decide to hammer it out boxing, pvp battles and investing uri into gate spins, equipment, ammo, etc.:mad:

    Just my thoughts on the whole thing as I believe its a bit unfair to us boxing kings who spend money only to realize we are capped and can't achieve what we thought we could.:(

    Thank you all for the input as I hope this thread has shed some light on the subject and help those new comers choose direction of game play!:)
