[SC] robbery...!

sorry i cant think of a better title but anyways were being robbed in here... with this assembly event. PET protocols (salvage), Box doubler and the likes were disabled or deactivated for a simple reason:
***with this stuff we can multiply every resources we get from NPC.

because adding up a doubler and some or a lot of PET stuff you can get 3 to 4 prismatium or scrap and the likes... isnt it? correct me if i am wrong but honestly we have been robbed.

 

If,as you say, that is the reason then why shouldnt we be able to multiply our collection considering what it takes to acquire the protocols etc...?
If they have done it for that reason then they could have supplied the new materials as a booty-like box with free colection instead of annoying so many ppl with a blanket problem...

 

Well you guys enjoy the box doubler if you could cause i paid for box doubler almost 5 days ago support still hasn't got back to me, when they said it would take a day or so. And know 2 spaceball events have already past so i have to use my uri to buy gates for the gate event doubler, so yeah in so many words i think were totally getting screwed in this event. Not only that but for us that have everything DO is offering in this event makes the event worthless to me cause now instead of picking up minerals from alien kills i pick up this crap i don't need so i run out of minerals for my lazers while in GG so i end up finishing the gates with nothing on my lazers.

 

Really? I mean, REALLY?

Since when PET Salvages increase the cargo value and the Assembly materials? Since when Doubler increases cargo value and Assembly materials?

Please, learn the game first, then complain about something. PLEASE!

 

Regardless of whether there would be an increase in the Assembly materials or not eT3RnitY the current problems are hurting those of us who box a lot... I want to do gates and I have just looked through today and the Uri I am receiving is more like 25% down on what I might have expected and the gate spins by 20%... I bet I dont get any compensation that makes up for that unless I start doing those things which are included in the package which Solid_Eye says is on offer which I dont do a lot of incidentally as my ship is set up for boxing ...
EDIT
I have realised that even with the extra week of the Event I will not have a hope of getting the Surgeon, that being the only item I need, as I can only play 3-4 hours a day and the drop rate of the necessary items is too low...
when/if they do compensate the doubler for gate spins and Uri lost it will not come with nice 'gate items doubled' as now I'll bet as we are losing 1/4 opportunities to do gates as well.. sorry to go on but...

 

Don't get me wrong, I never said that it is not hurting players. I was complaining about stating wrong things, and blaming the DO team for wrong things.

Overall, on my account I don't have a PET and salvage protocols, but it would have hurt me too because I love to box too, just like you. I have spent 80% of the total time in this game into boxing. I think they will book compensations about premium accounts and doublers too.

 

You are wrong. Bonus Box Doubler has nothing to do with the resources. The protocols deal with Cargo Drops and have never had any affect on the BOOTY CHESTS or other SPECIAL Drops. The issues are conflict in codes and as such takes a lot of time to resolve. IF you are able to play the game the BOUGHT items are working and you are not being ripped off. However the extra boosts from in-game purchases (not direct cash) are having some issues and until the get them resolved they will not look into a proper compensation, if they decide to compensate anyone.

These issues need to be reported in;
http://www.bigpoint.com/darkorbit/board/threads/lag-in-game-may-09-2016-feedback.114234/
with as much detail as possible so they can find the correct area of the code to attempt to correct the offending issue.

Creating new threads for every person experiencing an issue in the game when we know it is related to the LAUNCH of the A.S. is not going to help fix the issues.

 

I am sorry HMHY but protocols are not working (and they cost a lot when you have 12) and they are my gameplay 90% of the time and so far as Cargo is concerned why are the Assembly materials requiring a PET with Looter to collect them if it is not a form of Cargo... You yourself have a thread with regard to lack of Cargo as they've been replaced by these SPECIAL drops and as I dont collect Cargo normally, except as a byproduct of boxing in the main maps as I dont need it and I dont like to steal from ppl who need the raws and credits I have no idea what they normally contain...
I am aware that they are working on fixing this and that they have some compensation already in place which Im sure is appreciated but as I stated above that is not really affecting me...

EDIT
agreed some of the above may have been better placed there but would depend on the intention of the poster

and I might also respectfully point out that this is Speakers Corner and although connected with feedback to the Assembly is not in the Tech or Feedback section ... Sorry...

 

I am sorry I offended you and yes I am complaining that the players needing the CARGO for whatever reason are loosing their much needed resource as they are being replaced by these other items. However, what I was trying to point out is the Booty Chests are not effected by protocols or BBD and these new Materials/Ores are being treated just like Booty Chests.

There are so many posts about the Protocols not working and people wanting compensation for them I have not paid attention to where they have been posted but have suggested they post information in the feedback thread so we might get the techs to find the problem sooner than later and return the game to the state it was before the LAUNCH caused all of the chaos.

Again I apologize for having offended you.

 

I noticed to that there seems to be a 50% reduction in GG spins on the maps and for the noobs it is even worse as they are only getting ammo and credits the uri and GG spins have gone completely on the X-1 maps, it looks like DO are robbing Peter to pay Paul. I think that DO knew that during the test that no one would be collecting box's and the reduction in uri and GG spins would go unnoticed until the AS went live.

 

Hmm.. I kinda will agree with this, although still not sure, but after boxing I have indeed received 50% less GG spins than usual. Not the case with the uridum received, still got the same amount as before (without PET and boxing set up, I usually get around 50 GG spins per hour. Today, 26 per hour.)

Maybe it is just because of others players boxing (considering it is weekend), but will see how it goes later today/following days.

Here is the log proof:



Started boxing exactly at 17h server time, stopped ~18:05h. 26 GG spins received. Will box later again, and will document more logs to track the GG spins per hour.

Note: Not boxing with PET, nor I do have a boxing skill tree.
