    CG : "The drop rate was reduced because it was too good, the kit was not fundamentally changed so there will be no refunds"

    @Recurve is this your interpretation of what the answer will be or something someone actually said?

    This is what we call a joke, based around the QGJ omi nerf, which was also a joke.

    See I’m just not sure what to believe anymore. I would not be surprised if we did get some sort of answer in an obscure place.

    It's just more proof they don't care. As long as people keep spending money by the millions, why should they bother to change what they have been doing? They have no reason to change, they are going to keep ignoring and treating players like crap- because they can and because they know people will still keep spending more and more money.

    Nerfing Echelon would be a real bad April Fool’s Joke.

    Today would be the perfect time to give us an reply. If anything about it turns out to be legally problematic, you can refer to it as part of an April's fool

    Well, there goes a Monday response. Tuesday?

    August?

    Might actually be a reasonable estimate at this point.

    So @Ultra , at what point of CG not saying anything are you going to speak for them?

    Why would you expect that. This is exactly how things went with Doja. Whether or not the CMs want to communicate is irrelevant. It's clear they won't or can't when it matters most.

    Sadly this is the truth. It’s despicable of whoever is gagging the CM’s from talking to us about the drop rates when we found out on our own. Good ol TopCash

    After looking back on my time here, being a cm for cg sounds like a great gig: get paid for posting random fluff, get to choose what questions to ignore, don't have to be held to account for ignoring multiple threads about important issues, and your bosses are cool with you not communicating at all - bc they actually prefer it that way. The position is just lip service (just like their "anticheat" department). God knows why we needed two ....

    He can't talk about this since this was a thing before he joined and he's not too familiar with the issue to speak on it, and there is lots of other things he needs to catch up on

    Oh that’s nice. I’m glad they care so little about their community and paying customers.

    Personally, I don’t think meathead needs to concern himself with this as this issue is not as straightforward for him to look up and comment on

    He’s the acting CM while crumb is away on paternity leave and while they find Doja‘s replacement. It is literally his job at the present to communicate with us. Just because this occurred before he took over doesn’t absolve him of relating an answer from the devs to us. You said that there was an answer you were given, but couldn’t tell us and that a CM/dev needed too.

    Well if there’s an answer and we have devs and a CM who have working forum accounts and the ability to type and communicate, I think they owe us an explanation on:

    1.) Why the drop rate was lowered
    2.) Why they have the nerve to ignore the community and give excuse after excuse as to why this can’t be answered.

    Can he not just copy and paste what the devs tell him? I don’t really see why he needs to have any personal knowledge of the situation to do that

    And now that we have another Chase inbound, should we not get an explanation of the drop rates? Why they are more complex than "3% per energy spent" is beyond me, but it would be excellent information to have.
  • What if the drop rate for the next chase is 2% :O

    Obviously even worse, though that means it's not possible to unlock even with hoarded energy and 3x refreshes per day. Plus hard to hoard when we don't know where it's dropping.

    If anyone calculates with the current rates, how many refills will be needing for this next 4* unlock?

    4 refreshes per day without hoarded energy. Or maybe 7? the Fleet selection seems to assume a slower refresh rate.

    I got 5* for both the previous chase ships doing 3*100 + 2*200 refreshes plus hoarded energy at the start.

    I got 4* with the same.
