How can they release a bonus related to play when some have already played and some haven't WITHOUT and Comms? It's like they develop stuff and press the launch patch button thinks ooh that's a nice surprise our users they love new content! Well it sucks

The reset isnt worldwide but timezone related. When they release an update, its worldwide. You gotta deal with the fact you would've gotten nothing out of your sims anyways.

The drop rate is what it is. Everybody is freaking out too when we have no idea at this point what materials and what quantities will be needed for slicing.

I'm less concerned about the drop rate and more like why do we need so many different types of slicing materials to farm.

I just spent 400 energy, did x5 sims on four different 'bonus' drop points: got zero drops.

Is it working?! This is the bonus time so... What is this?

Spent 200 energy and got squat. Another Capital Games shenanigans.

I'm with you here. I had thought it would be a single MATERIAL, not plural and the plural reference they gave is you would need multiple pieces of it. So now we have 7 different pieces to farm and no idea what does what? Some drop 2 at a time and some drop just one.

So now we have this likely over complicated system that they will without a doubt throw a paywall up against and create a needless (except for them getting paid) choke point to create another agonizing rock fight style grind to slice mods. It could have been simple with one material and needing different amounts of it to upgrade different tiers, but now we'll likely have a MK 12 Czerka like slice material and a MK 3 Carbanti Sensor Array type one and a Droid type one coupled with slicing mats we end up collecting thousands of and not using.

OK so it's clear that bonus means double should you get a drop. However, nothing is dropping... This is the issue. Is this indicative of the upcoming drop rate? Are the drops intended to be as rare, or more rare than Zetas? If the Devs would chime in promptly, or be forthcoming, promptly, these threads would not be required. The Devs clearly have no objection to conjecture, though it seems some players do;)

Like AhnuldT101 says in this video this whole Slicing thing is all about CG finding a way to now monetize on Mods too...

It’s all the same RNG it always has been. Double drops just means double drops at the same drop percentage. The shard drop rate doesn’t change.

Working as intended.
