The hunting season on feet has begun...

I don't think many will go that route as the cost from Duke is rather ridiculous.
Some might do it a few times but I think they will realize quite quickly it is not
cost effective.
I think GI is shooting themselves in the foot with this and the 100 item limit. Likely
will get a flood of bad reviews on top of the players that will quit.

Good by QL Party

P.S. my previous experience: I used GD or GD + dice for Turboprop, Jet or Delta adventure destinations and 120-140 flights were enough for 36 drops.

Pretty close to the last TP / Jets i flew... 15 drops from 70 flights :-(

No one says anything when there's a good bug, instead they keep using it again and again and see now when a bug is fixed, Be happy that we were able to use it till now.
Before it was fixed, Restarting a mint wasn't really a challenge as player's can Launch and collect 150 Gold Token's easily(Not That much easy but still) in a month, Atleast it will be a challenge now.

I doubt anyone even though it Was a bug, that's the problem here. From the sound of it this has been working like this for years and everyone has taken it as a normal feature of the game. But now it's suddenly a bug.. that's just a cheap excuse for limiting the users.

I also do not believe that it was a bug, because also the drop rate with the flights has deteriorated significantly.

 

[Robby Kusuma]

Everyone.
Lets not talk about it.
I am sure once it's been released, they wont change it.
I am sure.
And dont debate @AJ....
Seems useless....
You know why.

 

[Phil G]

yes its going to take alot longer on the maps i for sure want being buying any fuel from the duke, also the speed up are all up side down so until they they fix that issue i will not be speeding up any planes, so all is well in AC world, the 100 limited well they are really going to town, whats next, cant wait . Please give us something back to cheer us up

I flew yesterday Powerful Delta adventure flights. GD + dice + SC, 112 or 116 flights and only 19 drops, pretty often a wave of 4 planes arrived without any drop. It seems GD is functioning worse not only for Planetarium visits but for adventure flights as well.
P.S. my previous experience: I used GD or GD + dice for Turboprop, Jet or Delta adventure destinations and 120-140 flights were enough for 36 drops.

I have just flown some adventure flights using GD only.
75 flights with Turboprops gave 18 drops ie 24% drop rate.
69 flights with Jets gave 11 drops ie 16% drop rate.

Ludicrous amounts of prep is what it takes to fly for fuel. Without that extra fuel, I'll never get my Adventure buildings. We are also talking about the fun factor of multiple launches and parties which is the social aspect at its best. Sure some people launch alone, so what? There is not much fun to be had with planes taking 3-9 hour flights. What do we do while waiting? We launch!

There are more ways of getting fuel than launching.

I also disagree with the planetarium drop rate, it has slowed. Many of them dropped 0 and out of my 12 visits I got 31 chests with 1 PEB. That is not fun nor funny. I need my interest in this game to grow, GI is making this game UNfun. Unless they want to do something else to make up for our lost fuel source, I don't see myself playing as much and if they bring in the 100 inventory cap, I'm gone also.

IMHO when a game becomes too easy the fun goes out of the window even faster.

Planetariums always were capable of not dropping anything. RNG works mysterious ways : )

Let's not forget we have multiple catalysts bug instead of GD bug : )

400+ flights to Cartagena, GD + SC, 31 drops, ouch

How were the numbers for Alliance maps before the upgrade?
So we could put the numbers better into perspective. Afterall their normal drop rate is very seldom compared to seldom for adventure flights.

It is about half of what I got a few weeks ago, same planes, same bonuses, different city.

 

[Heisenberg]

After 340 Giant alliance flights to Santa Rosa yesterday using Sky Captain and Golden Dice, I had 26 Golden Masks. That's a 7,6% drop.

PRNG in AC was always working in bunches AKA happy hours. So encountering one bad bunch means that nothing changed.

 

[Robby Kusuma]

I wonder if some adventure buildings that need no road are bugs too.....

I don't think so, same as hangars, rocket gardens...

And dont forget the secret Faucet, that will help on adventure flights depending how you play of course, so its not all dome
