[SC] What A Rip-Off...

Recently, I've been saving GG energy (I had almost 3,000) to build another Alpha, Delta, and my second Kuiper gate.

However, I have noticed that the probability of getting a gate part has been significantly reduced; during one particular batch of 100 spins (building my 5th GGa), I received one part, during the next I received none. I did, however, receive a few multipliers, which (if you're lucky) will get you multiple gate parts. Instead, I got the following message:

The following 0 parts were produced for the gate:
The following parts were produced instead:
240 MCB-50 ammo

A few minutes ago, I tried again with 100 more, once more using one spin at a time. Again, I received no parts, but once more, I received a few multipliers. Again, I received a message similar to the above.

A repeat produced similar results.
This has happened on more than those occasions that I have related above.
Is the GG materializer broken? Or have the probabilities been reduced, thus making more money for BP? I strongly suspect the latter...

 

your building a set obviously takes longer to do that's why if your just after x4 and uri do lamba or delta I stoped doing the set bc of that reason took to long I remember I spend 400 spins on beta and needed one pieces its crazy I know.

Then again if your spining 100 at a time thats a bad idea u could get zero parts that way stick with 5 or 10

The reason for the message you received is that you have built gates(in this case b and y) but not put on your x-1 map. I see that you are trying to use the multipliers you receive from them so you can hit some alpha parts, but unfortunately that is not how it works as it can still yield parts for the other gates, which are converted into something else, since the gates are obviously completed. Tip: Get those other gates prepared so you dont waste anymore spins

 

ιмѕтιℓℓαвιgиσσв - Thanks for that. I wasn't aware that was how it worked; it just shows that even after *mumble mumble* years on the game there are still things to learn.

bob_splendy - I was actually spinning singly, rather than using an energy boost.

Apologies, I should've made that clearer.

 

ιмѕтιℓℓαвιgиσσв is correct when you have beta and gamma gates full for the Xs it seems better but not once you use that Xs and it comes up gate part again you would normally get a gate part X the multiplier. with these 3 gates you use the multiplier and it comes up gate part it now chooses witch gate youll get the parts for so you now got a 33% chance of getting the parts you need and 66% chance of them much needed gate parts being converted into ammo. so not only do you need to line up a multiplier with a gate part but with full gates you are now playing lotto again to see if they stay gate parts

 

Once the gate is available - open it and do it, spin some more...then you will eventually get the gate you want. Use 10 - 5 - and 1 spins

 

Yes the probability has been changed. I spun a zeta and watched my 10 spins. 4 Sets of 10 and no parts at all. What was hilarious was having 3 parts and getting a multiplier 3 times! Its the same with using free spins they give less parts. After the event with the good boxes I had a ton of spins. I did a kuiper gate and watched them go by and give junk then when uri spins started the rate seemed to change.

 

During GG spins if you are not getting parts rather than keep spinning try refreshing the page this helps alot if you look at your log book before you jump into GG pay attention to the picture on the left i think they are associated with GG spins

I could be wrong but thats how i build my gate
