PSA: Chase drop rates have been lowered

    No one should point fingers at Doja, Crumb, Ultra, or Obama. They’ve acknowledged the issue is being researched. It’s not their fault the decision makers are taking this long.

    The people who need to be held accountable are the ones at the top dragging their feet and allowing issues like this to linger for so long unaddressed.

    They need to reevaluate their priorities. Continuing to make people question their investments and not hear any response doesn’t help drive future sales, in addition to being terrible customer service.

    Any update on this?

    prob not this week either
    How about this week ;) You made empty promises already Ultra.

    Either CG ignores ultra, or ultra ignores the community and his own promises.

    I don't know which one's funnnier.
    they answered me ages ago on this

    I've been trying to get them to answer this themselves

    but doja left so we'll see if i can get the new community manager to answer at the time of the next chase start or not (if/when that happens) or sooner

    I've been poking around about the drop rates and I'm looking into it. I likely won't have much more on this until next week, so please bear w me!

    I like when this Doja fella posts on the forums. He should do it more often :)

    This didn’t age well

    So they’ve told you if they changed the rate from 4% to 3%…

    They wouldn’t let Doja answer this before he left. They won’t let you answer it. They refuse to provide that information themselves…

    Lmao wow. Well if thats just not downright scummy and deceitful on their end idk what is. That’s a joke. Glad i didn’t give in and buy those crystal bonus packs they put out. Maybe I’ll change my mind and be a paying customer again when they stop being liars and actually give a hoot about their players. Not surprised Doja left.

    Yes, I’d like CG to respond. The phrase “better late than never” comes to mind.

    Bonus shards would indeed be nice, but first and foremost I’d like an explanation.

    Maybe Echelon will get nerfed, or Exec will get an anti-Echelon buff… but idk how you could nerf the StarFortress out of what use it has.

    It's so cute everyone thinks he left by his own will.
    He was probably fired, either because of poor performance, or because they wanted to migrate that position to India to save some money.

    So you create an event that influences the player's spending choices. Then you repeat the event but alter the parameters without letting the players know about it.

    Bear in mind that this is only ingame currency, not real money. But i will go and say if this was actually real money I am fairly certain this would classify as a fraud.

    Legally this might be completely different due to the fact that crystals are only ingame currency but morally - not so much.

    Especially if you keep in mind that some actually pay real life currency for those crystals.

    Not saying whether the drop rate got changed or not

    but I do think CG should answer regardless, even if it didn't get changed

    Well I think the evidence overwhelming suggests that they lowered the drop rate. So if they didn't change it, then they need to look at the galactic chase code because it appears the drop rate is bugged then.

    CG has never cared about communicating to the community, why would that change now?

    Do you find it a tad preposterous that a CM needs reminding to respond? I appreciate the effort on your part, but, I think thats part of the problem. CG relies too much on forum mods...without Kyno and now you, we wouldn't have had half the answers we did get, and we really didn't get that many.

    the drop rate answer... isn't so simple to answer actually
