I can’t understand why they implemented the ticket system. It doesn’t make sense to me

It seems to be a pacing step added in to make the GL process longer.

But it doesn’t make it really longer. Yeah, delay it for 4 weeks (?), one month isn’t so long. They could just launch the GL one month later and don’t put tickets in it

It lengthens the time from release to saturation point. It elongates the time, shifting the beginning point doesnt do that.

Unless you hoard energy. I can't understand why this game keeps catering to that. It's not a fun way to play the game for the vast majority of people.

You know why

Whales were buying every energy pack CG throws at them, and the players aren’t farming for resources each day, so they need to spend for more resources

It’s a win-win

I have a hard time believing they make more money that way than capping energy and then selling energy packs/refreshes after the event starts.

That goes for gear as well.

At the end of the day, how most of the players PERCEIVE the outcome of his/her investment, Should be what CG should focus on fixing. Personally, when I end up with 1 currency drop on 9 sims on a high nods, there is a problem. Especially when we all invested so much in unlocking those GLs.

gear is mostly 20% drop rate, i see plenty of 1/9.

even on a 10 node i never see a 1/9 for event tickets, which will be a 50% drop rate

are you doing 6 nodes?

Hey buddy,

It was DS 9-C
Simed 3 Rewarded 0
Simed 3 Rewarded 0
Simed 3, Rewarded 1

Just an example of a very familiar daily scenario.

To me, there is no fair return in investment, and discourages players to try reaching the end game content. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll keep siming it until I unlock the UA, as I put way to much into it already.

But I disagree with such a deceptive practice, and wanted to voice it for those who are grinding their way up there.

That's generally the overall problem with micro based games and why i won't ever play another one.

They have to force a bottle neck to generate interest om spend. But over time it just basically becomes incredibly tedious and way to slow to get anything useful for free. I mean they even cap the energy to feed into the get it now mentality because it becomes frustrating. Just 10 bucks gets you exactly what you want. Suddenly ur spending 10s on multiple things.

Now the biggest game mode is just grinding gear and materials. Because anything new requires a significant pay investment to be part of it. Or ride the whales in the guild. Which is and od itself very Strange because if whales are spending money to get the ftp gear what's the incentive for the whale to socialize the reward system . Even getting top 3 or even first place in raids etc the rewards are woefully horrible. So again where is this investment going?? The whole system is designed to keep you spending period.

The problem we face now is cg isn't keeping up with the content demands than big spenders need to keep the whaling live. I truthfully don't know why cg is struggling with content creation (yes i know content is hard to make apparently) but with the billions coming in addressing this problem 2 years after the last major content drop is appalling really lol

If tickets are only consumed if you win it allows them to make the events rng dependent, which I hate.

How about instead they allow you to practice the event so you can figure out a strategy, then go in and put your tickets on the line.

Also, increase the ticket cost and rewards so we don't have to run it so many times.

Several guild mates have stated that tier 3 of the JML event is already RNG dependent.

I would disagree. It's only RNG dependent if you don't know the correct modding/strategy, which is why I proposed being able to run the event for free until you feel comfortable putting your tickets on the line. Mod Luke for 100% crit chance so there is no crit RNG and follow the correct attack sequence and it's going to be a win every time.

How is it not RNG? If you get AB'ed to death, how are you supposed to prevent that?

The odds of going 1/9 on a 50% chance per sim are extremely low. You are either extremely unlucky or not being honest. Shrug. Do more sims, track all of them, and then let us know how close you get to 5% per energy over the entirety of your farm.
