The terrible lag and unexpected pops/drone damage that everyone across all the servers that has been experiencing not withstanding. Myself and several other players have noticed that the bonus boxes in the pvp maps have been downgraded during this event as well. My pet has all LVL 3 Salvage protocols, My Tractor Beam 2 in pilot bio is 5/5 for a 20% increase in bonus box loot. I just recently decided to purchase a box doubler. Normally my maximum uri box without box doubler when my pet picks it up is 245 uri. Now that i've purchased the box doubler it should be and was 490 uri "before the assembly event" when my pet collects a maximum uri box. Also before the assembly event when my pet would collect a GG spin box with my box doubler active on the pvp maps it was collecting 5 spins. Now unfortunetly since the assembly event started it only picks up 4 spins per box. Just today alone i haven't been able to pick up a bonus box in pvp maps that are worth more than 360 uri. So everytime that my pet collects a GG spin box, I'm losing 20% of what i should be getting from spin boxes, 4 spins instead of 5 spins, also my biggest uri box went from being 490 uri to 360 uri. I can't imagine myself or anyone else who paid money for their box doubler to be happy about this under performance going on. Not sure if this is affecting free players with no box doubler but i don't see how it wouldn't be. It's hard to put a number on just how much uri, ammo, etc every player in the game is losing. I'm not sure if its just this server that is experiencing this problem either but probably not. I'm pretty sure that Dark Orbit keeps track of everything that is "boxed" on every account. I think that everyone should be compensated for this after the problem is resolved and since the game is extremly laggy trying to kill npcs or pvp its seem the only thing to do is keep boxing and hope everyone is compensated for everything that they've been screwed out of.... Questions, Comments, positive or negative always appreciated. Would like to hear what everyone else has noticed about the bonus boxes in pvp maps

 

I to have lag so bad it's silly to even try and play the game. I was on when they restarted after the daliy server restart and that is when the lag started and nothing on my fixed it. So lets hope they fix it soon before the end of the event.

 

nice try bp putting cheap boosters in shop, is that your way of compensating us? getting us to part with even more money whilst u twiddle your thumbs over this latest fiasco? reverse physiocology doesnt fool me

 

Its a money game if you dont have it you are pushing shit up hill. when I first started you had to work damn hard to get anything now you can buy almost anything. This is another money spinner. the losers. The players. P.S. the lag is chronic so hard to kill anything.. As usual they dump the new projects on us without checking if there is a problem.

 

lol the problem only popped up when the updates went live it never happened on the test server so how was they meant to fix a prob if they don't no there is 1 :s

 

Same here guys. What is happening? I used to collect 490 uri in PVP maps. Not anymore.I spent a lot of money on this game and this is what I get in return from them. And on top of this, I keep upgrading the shield busters with uri and nothing happens. I wrote several emails to Support to fix the problem, but they keep telling me that maybe I upgrade the wrong ones....so in other words it is my fault, not theirs...I am sick of this to be honest. I stopped spending any money for this game until they will fix the problem.

 

It happen to me on test server the lag was as bad if not worst.

 

What about 50% boosters i have had boosters 3 times in a row that either i can't log in cause of DO or now cause of event, I even sent in a ticket and they said they will let the leaders know and maybe everyone will be compensated but that has not happened and nothing in the forums about it. They even admitted it was their fault cause they had servers down for longer than they expected and still if they decide not to do anything about it we just have to deal with it weather we like it or not. Well i think this is totally unacceptable. As soon as they admit fault we should be compensated i paid for 5 days of boosters not 4. And not just 1 time this is 3 times in a row so until i'm compensated i will not buy anymore boosters and i ask everyone to do the same maybe then they will listen.

 

The boosters that you are talking about are FREE with PURCHASE so, I don't understand the need for compensation. You got the Uridium (which is what you bought) not the Boosters, YES I understand you might not have bought the Uridium without the BONUS, but you did get what you paid for.

Everyone is affected by this most recent Launch as nothing is working correctly, Box Doubler, Bio, PET, any advantages you might have to increase your LOOT. Now add the fact that the easiest way to make credits has just been taken away from the New Players, Credits from Collected Cargo Boxes, and what do you have a game full of UFE players crying the blues as everyone else has quit the game.

They failed to run a TEST on the completed A.S. and as such never gave us a chance to see if there were any problems with the SYSTEM before they launched it. The last TEST they ran on A.S. was a fiasco in itself as the cargo hold was messed up and the drops for the New ore were too seldom to even know they were there.

 

so i buy the boosters that are out today and i should have 10 hours on the all... but no im missing 1min on my damn dmg booster... that min i could be killing at least 2 people

 

I was reading in another post on a different thread that it seems the P.E.T protocols are not working. This could be the problem and not the actual booster?

Just thought I'd toss that your way.

Oh and Hey Blaze.. I know in that one minute it would be more than just 2 =)

 

okay since the box doubler does seem to work does that mean that i should be compensated for 36% of everything that i've boxed since the "assembly event" started? I'm pretty sure i should and so should every other player that uses them.
