Crystals

[Death_Striker]

Crystals... I used to grind on lustra every day and now i can't because of "If your 10 ranks higher than the level mantis the crystal drop rate will get lowerd". I used to get 23 crystals of a parasite and 33 crystals of a rockerteer plus they are easy to kill. I would be able to grind lets say 20.000crystals a day, but now since that has come up i have to grind on baumar or molikar. I dont want to grind on those planets its hard to kill the mantis and you will get podded. So please remove that.

Same here, since that happened I switched to Technatoria...

Well u can still grind in prosperous.There is better e than in lustra and harvs drop some good cry.Even lv 35 baumar harvs are not that hard to kill.

Yeah, But i dont like grinding harvesters i like to grind parasites & rockerteers on lustra.. Are harvesters at prosperous 1 shot kill? no they are not and + i need rare aim computer for antares and crystals for my ships

I have mentioned this many a time on the old forum. The idea is for you to use more energy to kill mantis to get a decent green drop. Using more energy makes you collect it more often. So much so that they hope you will buy it instead of wasting so much time collecting it.

This will backfire! Since the changes I have actually bought LESS gold. The reason being value for money is no longer there. Not only that but also the wasted time in actual game play.

It is a fun game for sure but I am finding it is becoming too much of a time waster. Slowing it down is one thing but forcing players to hunt/farm longer is counter productive.

So true. I have to spend hours to farm 5000 cry now. I used to get 2000 in like 30 minutes.
And the drop rates on baumar and molikar aren't really successful either.
If they want us to farm in mizar, why such low drop rates?

Because that makes us want to buy firepower boosters to do more damage to the mantis to use cryboosters to drop more crystals to buy energy since you use about 1k a harv, simples!

Agree with ODST_Bob, the game does seem more cash-oriented than it used to be, especially if you're the sort who likes to blast away all day (and who doesn't ??) rather than spend time farming E for the next attack.

A long time ago, I got into the routine of farm, grind and farm again. I only use gold when I'm on Baumar, cos it's not always a good idea to hang around E fields with DS around. Having said that, am only using the 'free' gold we were 'given', and it's doubtful if that will continue when it's gone.

 

[Death_Striker]

Well i guess im a bit out numberd here or there where ever, thanks for the idea's guys have fun in the game

 

[ODST_Bob]

I'd just like a bit higher of an e cap and a higher BP drop rate, I don't notice the cry difference too much but like the others have said it is more money based, on the other hand if that's the requirement to work this great game then, so be it!

Really It's simple, Both Splitscreen and Gamigo have misunderstood how to make a game harder in the higher levels. You don't just make it harder but you increase the rewards too, and that's by A LOT. The rewards are what they've fallen behind on. Sure you can make the drop rates for bps lower but not too low. It isn't really good to lower the drop rate on crystal but it works temporarily (will probably be wrecked on the moon or earth).

BUT YOU CAN NOT KEEP THE SAME REWARDS AS THE LAST SYSTEM!

Sure, the bps are stronger, but even with us having Ob which gives us 2% increase on crystal I've still gotten sub 30 crystal drops on Mars. When I first started this game I expected the drops in the 40 - 50 levels to be around 100 - 200 at the least so that you could buy the parsec without spending a fortune on crystal boosters and having a life. I know many good people with parsecs and the other classes of the parsec and most of them are either extremely dedicated or just really rich guys. (And even if you are rich you still have to be extremely dedicated to get the parsec)

Take a look at the stats here:
..............Drops:.......Ship costs:
Vega:.......5 - 15.........250 - 500
Antares....15 - 25..........1000
Gemini.....20 - 30..........3600
Mizar.......25 - 35..........7200
Sol..........30 - 40.....10000 - 20000

Do you see what's wrong?

 

[defacto]

Wrong values.

Mizar is 35-45

And Sol is 29 to... don't know, maybe 45.
Rank 45 Marauders drops as lowest 29! thats a horribly low number!
