    Hello,

    I have been boxing these days, and I have noticed that the GG spin chance in the bonus boxes is drastically lowered.

    I will show some of the logs, which will prove either of the following:
    • bonus boxes have been nerfed without players being notified
    • it is a bug and needs to be fixed

    I will continue boxing, and will provide even more logs. All of the above logs are legit, and support can prove that. No data has been changed/hidden in any way.

    From my past experience in this game, I have never received lower number of GG spins.

    Note: Have been boxing on PvP map, with no skill tree for boxing or PET. I was flying in Vengeance, with full speed (full speed generators + promerium). This post is not made by someone who boxes for first time. I am player that has spent most of the time in this game into collecting boxes.
    The usual amount I have received (on my old account) from bonus boxes with the setup above, is around 50 GG spins per hour (+- 10 GG spins difference).

  2. Can you go to a section of the logs that show before the Launch of the A.S. Event? I believe if you could do this you would see this is the time things went sour as it is the time the x-1 B B's were reduced to credits and ammo without EE's or Uridium, which has been mentioned in another thread.

    That would be great, but I have started playing on my new account on the day when Assembly got launched, or the day before. My old account is inactive for some time, and I have no plans at all to log in there and to get the logs. :cool:

    If someone else can provide logs before the Assembly launch, please feel free to do so. :)
    From my own (recent) experience, bonus boxes after the Assembly launch are changed. Bug or on purpose, not sure, but this topic had to be raised and needs attention.

    I will continue to box, and will update my first post.
     
  4. Eternity is right. The same here with my account. What is happening? When are you going to solve this problem? How are you going to compensate us, guys who are paying big money to play... My PET used to pick up in PVP 5 GG, 490 , 290 and 190 uri. Now, only 4 GG and that is very rare and uridium like I have no protocols on my PET. It is crazy and I will not spend any more money until problem solved.

    What I do find strange is the difference of the GG spins received every hour. I have updated my logs above, and the last hour I have boxed I have finally received the amount of GG spins per hour I have been always boxing on my old account (50 GG spins, +- 10 GG spins difference).

    Every other log except the one from 23.05.2016 - 12h/14h, shows ~50% (or more) less GG spins per hour.
     
  6. They are aware that the PET Protocols are currently not working and are trying to figure out why this is happening, but with all of the Updates done recently they have too many things to look into as being the problem. I know the PET was affected by the "Visual Update" (April 1st JOKE) and the issues with it are still in the game, don't know if they have even bothered to look at that as the problem.

    I have a theory regarding the pet salvage protocols. They have turned them off because I believe that they will interfere with how much scrap etc that the pet picks up. The protocols gives an extra % on cargo it picks up and giving the fact that scrap is classed as cargo, your pet will pick up more than 1 scrap.

    Put it this way, when they brought out the crafting system and if our pets started to pick up 5 times the amount they should be because of lets say a bug or another poorly worked update, they would of fixed it within the first 24 hours. Like they did with the bonus box gate spins when they launched the Kuiper gate. Then they subsequently nerfed bonus boxes to restore balance.

    It would not surprise me at all if the salvage protocols start working again after the crafting event is over.​
