[GI] Boxes

Hello,

So You decided to decrease spins after players bought the bonus box doubler? I can't find exact word to describe it, but it's some kind of robbery

 

you still getting 50 spins per box with doubler that's still awesome everyone knew it was to good to be true

how long would a business stay running if they gave 5$ bills instead of ones for change

 

It doesn't matter how many spins I'll get, that's not the point dude

 

Big point have admitted that the EE in the bonus box's was an error on there part that only came to light once the gate went live, there is also a clause in the terms and conditions that gives bigpoint the right to make these changes and even if the EE was rejuced to 10 EE per box with a doubler that still works out at 20 spins also the ammo mines and rockets save loads of uri so your getting more than your moneys worth. The point is bigpoint have found the error and come clean. We all knew that the amount of EE was very high from the bonus box's and that it seemed to good to be true. Those that have lost out most are the lower level players who box on the X-1 maps because the maps have been flooded with UFE's with fully leveled pets sucking up the bonus box's like a dyson on a mission leaving nothing for the newbies and I don't see them moaning its not fair.

 

how can an error on the live be the same as it was on the test ? in other words .. someone mentioned on the forum during the week that he heard there was 20+ to 30+ spins in the streuner bonus boxes, which is what was also on the live servers. there was no change lol. the live boxes were EXACTLY the same as the test boxes. the place a temporary 5-6 day event on in the game, see what great feedback players give them , as it SEEMED like BP were giving back to the players for once , then bam !! they say oops we did to much on the live which shouldnt have been there , even tho it was exactly the same as the test ??? truth serum needs giving to rick dekard .. does he not realise that some people keep up to date with forum posts . if these boxes have been tested on the test server, which they had , as proved by the post i read recently on here , then how can the boxes which gave the same , be a " mistake " on the live servers ? the boxes are still good, however, stop with the bullpoop plz.

 

The difference is on the test server they were giving out spins and uri like candy and not paying attention to how much you got from the boxes. The live servers are their bread and butter though. Plus as stated, with everyone shouting how much they were getting like the gold rush of old, they had to adjust. Their accounting department was probably like, "What are you doing?"

 

2 large tests into the next day plus a mini test , they would have known on the test. hence doing the tests in the first place plus the feedback received. they add it all ( in a rush in my opinion ) to the live servers, and bam !! bigpoints " economical balance " went thro the roof with people buying doublers for once then hours later, they reduce everything? and the drop of what the gate gave in the end WAS NOT 100% as they stated, as i guy on my server wasnt always getting a guaranteed drop. he came off with a 15k reward before the changes. and to see how it goes over the weekend? translated, i take that as " lets see the impact of sales during sunday nights random but not really random MHH sales " lol.
