Umm so i bought a 6 month membership not long ago, less than a week and i already have a bad feeling, is the price the same for the 6 months or is it lowered? if its lower than 66k gold i want a gold refund because i already feel scammed... and were talking about real money here so this is serious.
Considering that with the Update the Ultimate Membership will cost 19.700 Gold and until the Update it costs 16.500 this is an increase of 3.200 Gold.
So with with the base formula of 3 months cost 2,5 Months and 6 Months cost 4 months of the corrosponding Membership it would mean the following prices for the future:
Ultimate:
1 Month - 16.500 Gold now and after Update 19.700 Gold (+3.200)
3 Months - 41.250 Gold now and after Update 49.250 Gold (+8.000)
6 Months - 66.000 Gold now and after Update 78.800 Gold (+12.800)
Supernova:
1 Month - 26.800 Gold
3 Months - 67.000 Gold
6 Months - 107.200 Gold
So basicly it´s now the best to buy the Ult Mem before the update comes to save some Gold and get the upgrade for free to enjoy it for that time.
4. If i am not wrong they are reducing the Collecting values from live server which are already so much higher than before the first energy update, so we should probably end up with a faster collection time than before all updates
This depends in the end on how much they will increase the collection time again. Before the E-Update the collection time of 1 cell with CD was ~4 seconds/cell and refilling from 0 - E-Cap takes at best planet ~70 seconds. With the current System it takes ~6 seconds/cell and going from 0 - E-Cap takes ~190 seconds what was already an increase of ~2.7x. According to the Update they now wanna increase the collection time again but at the same time reduce the value of an E-Cell.
Reduced the overall amount of Energy that is collected in a given time.
- Reduced the average size of Energy orbs on planet surfaces.
- Orb collection speed has been slightly reduced as well.
So in theory we now get a doubled E-Cap what should then be 23.500 as new Cap (at lvl 95), Cells that will have an reduced value of X atm cus no real info of how much they will reduce the orbs in combination with an longer collection time.
5. Do you all die so many times or why do remat costs bother you?
I think that the "main gripe" here is that with the current remat costs it´s not so that you have to run into the E-Field after every Pod or when your E goes "below the remat point". It allowed simply to stay longer in the battlefield before really having to refill actually and playing a "bit more risky".
With the Update the remat will basicly end up like the pre E-Update just with the difference that it then costs 13.500E for remat (again at lvl 95) what basicly means as non Mem User you have 10k of Energy you can use and then already have to decide if you wanna go for refill or if you wanna still stay and fight with the risk of rescuing. I don´t have the costs in my head right now what it cost acutally but it was something around 8k if i remember it correctly so that we here have at least 27.250E at our disposal before the decision had to be made.
Now with the upcoming Update there is mysteriously a new Membership appearing that reduces the remat costs back to the current situation that costs no money at all. This is where for some Pilots the part of an "greedy company" starts and for others it can already sound like "P2W" due of more chances to remat what "can make missions easier".
BTW: how many of you requested a drone membership and now since it is here you complain that you don't get it for free? what kind of logic is that?
I would now assume that i did nag a lot about the Drone system and mentioned every then and when that the Memberships don´t affect the Drones for some reason but rather focused on an more comforting aproach of the drones that would remove the manual refill we have to do all the time by simply transfering the E after hiting the E-Cap automatically to the drones.
Now with the Update i will have not to bother with the manuall drone refill again due i will continue of buying the 6 month Ult despite that everyone is "hating the update already into the ground".
For me not much c will hange considering that i spend 25-50 bucks/month into the game anyways to keep my Ult Cryo Boost and Cryo Vault running. I rarely spend my money on any of the other boosters so that until my 6 Months Ult Mem is running out i have enough Gold left to renew it and in some rare situations i even spend up to 100 bucks in 1 Month if either an Event is upcoming so that i simply can "be done with them at day 1" (tedious and boring RDX for example) or Sales are anounced.
