This post directly addresses the current slider issue


I have played this game for years and have been a paying customer. I have trolled the forums a lot just reading but never posting. I am an Officer in my Guild so I come here a lot for my information to pass on to the people who can't or just won't.

THIS UPDATE: is what prompted me to begin posting.

"Node Simming Slider: The node simming slider logic has been adjusted to slightly reduce the number of taps to fully sim a node"

I believe that a lot of the things in this Update are pretty well thought out in the effort to make the game UI better for us. Thank You

BUT the slider on the simulations when it comes to farming is a complete disaster. I have read this entire thread. The only thing I am seeing consistently is the CUSTOMERS begging for you to change the slider back. I already have members who are frustrated and venting in chat to me about this issue. Some are already talking about leaving the game over it because they feel as if they cant farm anymore. Each one of them lost all of their energy in one click.

Before anyone comes in here to complain about my post. First I want to remind you that this very issue is what prompted me to register for the forum. It bothers me so much that I had to come here to say my piece.

I buy my crystals monthly, some of the packs for other things and anything to boost the bounty hunters when I can. I farm every day and am always giving away things to the members of my Guild. I actually challenge the other members to give more than I do. I am so use to the way we click this game in repetitive mannerisms that I am on auto pilot. As I can see many and many other customers are in the same habit. When this update happened and the slider went all the way to the right many customers are going to feel cheated on the things that they could have farmed that day.

I realize that some customers may want to have a default set to the highest setting when farming shards. That is OK but when a customer is looking for just 1 more, they wont need to have it set at 8. When looking for gear pieces its the same way. TO ERROR on the safe side, is to have the slider default to the left at 1. This makes all customers happy in the sense that their energy is not used up NEEDLESSLY. Today, My Ship energy and my Cantina energy went fast because of this. I didn't catch the slider until after the second one.

Please, as a paying customer for this game. Please revert the slider back to the original configuration of being at the lowest setting. This makes the most sense in the long run and allows more of your customers to be happier. A Customer who hits the button with 1 selected can always hit it again. A Customer who hits that button with 8 selected can be the end of their day farming. I would say that 90% of the Customers here are on some type of budget and this can become very frustrating and could cause the game itself to begin losing people as a result. Why would a Customer come here and see their efforts be wasted? This type of thing will drive customers away from any business or product.

On the Debate of whether the slider at max vs slider at 1 yields the same results. In my experience in testing this theory. MY individual game yields the best results when I sim things one at a time. I do not believe that the game does the math properly when you sim them in multiples. In my opinion the code needs to be changes where no matter how many sims you select, the game should calculate them as individual simulations and then add the results at the end. Currently, I believe it is coded as to calculate the simulation as one then multiplying the results at the end by the number the customer selected.

It is ok if others do not believe me in my personal findings.


Once Again, Please for the good of the Customers that you have returning and purchasing your product monthly. Please return the configuration of the slider back to what it was. Where a customer can click once without looking and get one result, if they intended to set it for two, then they can have a chance to do just that by still having energy remaining. It really is the best idea for this item in the game

Thank You for listening/reading.

I digress. The best option would be as indicated below this post. Change the code where the Customer can select the default where it is at minimum or maximum. Thank You for the input "jkray622"
