  1. In the Galaxy Gate FAQ where questions are being asked you will find the following;

    What happens if I get a gate part by using a multiplier?
    Then you’ll only get the new parts for the gate. You won’t get double the amount of parts. If you’ve used, for example, a 5-gate-part multiplier and you only need 2 parts for the gate, you’ll get the rest in ammunition or in credits.
    This information is incorrect. Every time I use a multiplier higher than the number of pieces needed it generates a duplicate of the same piece already generated. I have never received gate parts and ammunition/credits when using a multiplier.

    If proof is needed I will provide it as soon as possible, but I failed to think about it at the times it has happened (was just happy to have finally built the darned gate). I currently have several gates almost built so I should have proof within the next month.
     
  2. Why the hell are you using a multiplier higher than the amount of parts you need?
     
  3. Lol ^

    But also he's got a point you shouldn't be using a multiplier over the amount you need left

    Well have you ever had 2 parts left and are using x5 spins and you get x3 multiplier, what do you do then, shut your pc down because you have more multiplier than part needed and you failed your life?

  5. Funny you are responding to the EXAMPLE in the FAQ not what I have done. Also when building Alpha, Beta, & Gama you don't have the ability to adjust what multiplier you are using. The issue is the FAQ says you get something for the extra multipliers and you DON'T so it needs corrected. AND as most of us know the only way to get the last FEW parts of the GATES is by using MULTIPLIERS, so you always end up using X2 when you only need 1 part, or you never open the gate.

    Let me re-iterate. The issue is that we are being told we get something for every multiplier and we DON'T.

    IF you do not have anything to contribute to the discussion, as it is written, then keep the snide remarks to yourself.
     
  6. You don't get something for every multiplier? Is this some bad attempt at trolling or something? Because unless there are suddenly blanks in the GG Materializer, I'm 100% sure I am getting ammo, gate parts or whatever every time I click the button. As for the snide remarks, I actually lold.
    Lol.
     
  7. but you do get part + ammo or whatever it gives at that moment.
    try to spin 1 at a time and you will see that you get more than just that one last part with x3 or more multipliers.

  8. The FAQ isn't wrong, you're just mistaken somewhere. Lots of time I need say 2 parts and click the multiplier when it's at say 4. Sometimes I get the 2 parts I need and ammo. Sometimes I get no parts and it multiplies whatever is hit. The FAQ is in effect saying that if you click the multiplier you get something, gate parts, ammo, log disks, ect not new multipliers nor any parts that would go towards a new gate.

  9. When using the multiplier I always spin one at a time. And reading the pop up when the last part is produced is where you see the part produced TWICE.

    Well the next time I get the message of Parts Produced from the multiplier I will post it here. I had 1 part needed and had a multiplier for 2 and got 2 of the same parts when it was used. So either I am dealing with a GLITCH or you have not been reading the pop up when you are using the multiplier to open the gate. I am talking the LAST PIECES of the Galaxy Gate, just before you produce it to make the jump.
     
  10. from what i can see never had a problem it all works fine for me
     
  11. all works as intended for me, study your logs and count the ammo received and compare it to your average for that ammo type.
    the math works every time, normally you would get for instance 100 ucb-100, if you getting 200 ucb-100 then there you go.
     
  12. You are not understanding where the problem is. I am not saying the multiplier is not working. I am saying the FINAL SPIN THAT OPENS THE GATE (not any other time) you NEED to look at the POP UP window telling you what parts were generated (AGAIN only if you were using extra multiplier over what was needed) and you will see that the Gate Part(s) generated is listed for ALL multipliers used (e.g. need 2 parts used 4x multiplier both parts are listed twice). ALL other times every thing works correctly, just the VERY LAST PARTS and MULTIPLIERS used over what is NEEDED to complete the GATE (we all know that you have to use multiplier to get the FINAL Parts or get multipliers forever).
     
  13. Okay, so even if this were the case, you are seriously complaining about what amounts to more than 200 to 300 uri max? Additionally, if its such a big deal, talk to support and ask for your two gate spins back. I'm sure they would be happy to help you with this serious conundrum you have going.

  14. The OP is mistaken, if you need 3 parts and use a 5x multiplier and you get the 3 gate pieces needed you will get 2 spins worth of ammo, nanohull or xeno. You do not get charged 5 spins for 3 gate pieces.
     
  15. has the OP done the math? I have again and it still works,
    we understand your problem, do you OP? :confused:
     
  16. AS THE OP!!! Like I said when I get the gate ready to open I will post the PROOF that I DO KNOW WHAT I AM SAYING and that the FAQ needs to be updated.

    AGAIN, during NORMAL spinning the multiplier works as it says it does, BUT when you get to the last GATE PART it does not (look at the POP UP WINDOW (paying attention to the gate parts produced) and this is where you see the PROBLEM) you will not see it in the LOG.
     
  17. not sure how long youve been playing but i do know you havent been paying attention when you build gates. If you use an x3 multiplier and need 1 part you get the 1 part and 2 spins worth of ammo, xeno or nano
     
  18. Okay everyone I have the picture but don't know how to post it here, can some one help me?

    I just finished the Alpha gate needed 1 part and used a x2 multiplier, the materializer says;

    The following parts were produced for the ALPHA
    gate: Part 15
    The following parts were also produced:
    15 part/Gate ALPHA

    This is in the Pop Up Window I have been talking about from the beginning of the post. I di not get any ammo or anything else with this and the log even shows the multiplier was used for the SINGLE PART.
     
  19. If that's really the case then it must be a conditional bug, because I've definitely received the last parts I've needed, plus the rest of the multipliers in ammo, Xenomit, etc.

    I'd write to support if losing out on one free spin bothers you so much.

  20. So you missed out on 1 gate spin... Go pick up a bonus box and get 4 of them right back. Problem solved. OR, if you think support owes you a gate spin, please contact them while we grieve for your loss.
