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

Now we just need him to actually provide info.....

Thanks. Maybe if possible can we get attention to issues when they're still relevant in the future?

Any update on this?

Probably by end of week

Cool, so after the galactic chases are both over and players have spent crystals getting 25% less than what they should have. That’s cool.

I mean, if they say the new drop rate is 3% it doesn't make a difference

if they say drop rate is 4% it doesn't make a difference

if they say the drop rate was unintentionally 3%, they should compensate for it, so it doesn't make a difference

Knowing today, or by Friday, doesn't make a difference on the chase farm itself

Heres how I see it. If the drop rate wasn't changed, which we all clearly know it was changed, then he should be able to get an answer in 10 mins. Since it was changed, now they have to have meetings about how they are going to fix this problem.

It is a problem if the drop rate was changed to 3% without notice. Sure CG can change drop rates for stuff with crystals, but its pretty scummy to do so after they have established a precedent for Chases. Ye ol bait and switch. Especially since the FO ship is being hyped up so much because of the EXE counter (which most likely will get nerfed AFTER everyone spends crystals and money to get it).

“Should” is always a fun word. Because I no longer trust CG to actually compensate for things like this.

And it can make a difference, because if you’re shooting for 5* you still need to spend a lot of crystals to get there. If they decide to compensate us with an extra day or two of Chases, or a deposit of 30 Shards, or even just extra crystals - that can drastically change farming plans.

Plus, you know, finding out if CG actually made a mistake or just decided that we could afford to be squeezed a bit tighter.

One would think that if it was a mistake, and the forums made it quite clear what the drop rates were, why are we just now getting a response after one chase is done and the other is almost done. Strange timing it would seem. One could also think that since this game has two CM's, we would get a response on day one or two about this topic.

New response from CG:
No response

Galatic chase will continue
This will be forgotten over time

Whale harder to get ur 5 stars and up

Of course it makes a difference, either they once again failed to communicate, are lying about the drop rate (considering the data we have and they are looking into it) or undersold the drop rate... and we know how often they compensate..
And yes knowing what it should have been earlier does make a difference if you were planning on a higher drop rate and spent less crystals, so have to spend more on refreshes at the end.

What doesn't make a difference is a useless post like this saying it doesn't make a difference

Yes I agree

See, no comments is the new comments from CG. Galactic CHASE IS OVER AND STILL NOTHING !!! YEA !!!
