    I cannot wait to hear all the demands from the complainers for ridiculous amounts of compensation for them missing out on some rewards because of a glitch affecting everyone equally.

    This IS affecting everyone equally.

    The outage of 27th December was not equal.
    Well, I don't know if equally, the way I was affected was a mixture of sorry for the developers of the game, and a little laughter

    So today the effects were equal to everyone but the affect for everyone was not. Right?

    Is there any collected data about the chances to get the various items from the Bonus Reward boxes in Skirmishes? Is there supposed to be the same chance to get, say, Credits and Chronitons? Might be a little harder to collect based on the different difficulty levels (though I imagine most contributors would play on Epic), but what about within a category: is it, say, 10% for the highest credit reward, 25% for the middle, and 65% for the lowest?

    Drop rate information is cleverly hidden within an info button/icon after you have selected a bonus reward. Like everything in the recent update, you have to scroll to see it all 🙄, so I put it all together in one image.

    And of course, like any random system, rewards can be very streaky. I have gone nearly an hour in Skirmish battles without getting any chroniton drops, and other times, I've gotten like 1000 of them in a 15-20 minute span.

    I sure didn't konw there were Time Portal Packs. 0.13% explains that, I guess.

    Dude, you know this mean Braxton for everyone (I hope is not Troi 'cause I just bought the citation and FF her)

    I am intentionally waiting. I thought about it yesterday, and then I thought "What if, for oncee, an Event acts up?"

    For this type of blunder we need a passel of sorrytons, a gold citation or two, and a copy of Captain Braxton. Lol.

    I support this.

    I cannot wait to hear all the demands from the complainers for ridiculous amounts of compensation for them missing out on some rewards because of a glitch affecting everyone equally.

    IF it WAS equal. I know people are skeptical, but Unkie posted screenshots. Maybe not a big drop, but a drop. Unkie could be telling the truth. I find it interesting that some people make SEVERE accusations, with [NO/i] proof of their accusations, and everyone runs with it. A long-time player posts support for what he is saying, and no one thinks it is possible.

    It really messed with my available time, but I will adapt.

    Are you kidding us.....what a JOKE!!997l1gzlmzje.jpg

    DB's thinking: "Well, the event was only down about 35 minutes or so, therefore we are giving you an extra 25 minutes!" SMH, no one can possibly screw up this bad by chance, it must be on purpose.........

    The Scimitar looks terrible. At least from what I can see in its profile. I hope it doesn’t look like that when fully built. Did the people making it actually watch the whole movie? Because it’s wings were folded together perfectly for like 90% of the time. The only time they spread apart like that was when it was turning into a radiation weapon. So it doesn’t fly around looking like that. Can anyone tell me yet what it looks like when constructed?

    It only spreads out it's wings when it goes into battle. Flying around it looks normal.

    I'm not noticing that big of a difference on my end.

    Because I like to time my boosts to fit around my schedule, I actually use 2* time reducers several times a week. Due to Thursday callanges, uncommon time boosts are less preveant than the rares.

    The delay was less than a hour. The last five or six global compensations were for issues that did not effect me; this one did. I only lost a couple dozen ranks.

    One user claims that he is still dropping in the ranks (despite being impossible), keep an eye on that (I'm checking and looks like no changes to my rank)

    Yeah, so far my rank has been stable. If there's actually someone in the world able to play this phase right now, that would be an even bigger glitch than what we have.
    I don't believe his claims, or maybe is just the game that took a while to refresh ranks, but he just posted screenshots of loosing some ranks.

    https://forum.disruptorbeam.com/stt/discussion/comment/141349/#Comment_141349

    That change was before I started checking, so if I dropped (I should as I'm below that rank), I don't know.

    Just to be clear. I wasn’t the one who originally posted about dropping ranks, just posted what I had for screenshots when someone asked. It’s possible someone got some last second VP. I was playing up to the change and got kicked in the middle of a battle.

    I was the first person to comment on a strange rapid loss of rank and I stand by my words. If people want to call me a liar so be it.
    I know what I saw.

    Can we not just get one update or event where there is not a screw-up? Pretty please?

    Last I had looked was a few minutes before it froze, so theoretically possible. People were probably doing Skirmishes till the last second.

    I know, right? Some of the crappiest time reductions, 5 whole uncommon time reductions. Wow. I’m so whelmed. Amazing. (This is all sarcasm.) 😐😑

    This delay was less than half an hour. 2* Boosts take off 30 minutes. The compensation is logical.

    2* boosts take off 1 hour, and judging from squad chat it was fixed between 37 and 38 minutes in. But the logic still holds.

    Weirdest thing is having faction second. With skirmish I could get 12,000 points in less than five minutes. With faction at max point shuttles it takes three hours.

    It was 3am went in to have a share, saw the prblem, came here, saw it wasn't just me and went back to sleep. My poor squad had to go without a share another three hours.
