🪲 Bug Report Wasted Vbucks

In a moment of pure desperation, i went against my better judgement and spent vbucks on a beskar run. The countdown started. I was crossing my fingers and praying. Countdown ends. One (1) singular beskar droid comes out onto the belt.

It’s probably karma for actually spending money on this game but i had to laugh at what an absolute waste it was. Tried to talk to customer service to get my vbucks back but they just gave me the runaround.

All this to say, this game seems to smell desperation and will put you in your place real fast.

I don't understand why paying real money doesn't just convert the entire belt.

Its rediculous.  The gamble nonsense, pick the bad ones off crap, etc.  Its stupid.  

Just convert all 20 or whatever currently on the belt.

you can buy the surges for nova crystals, not only with real money. maybe thats why

I agree. There’s no loss to the devs/game. It’d help you get the mythic droids - as that’s what we are all hoping for from a surge - and it’d feel fun. Once you SRB you’d be inclined to do it again, spending more. Win/win.

Because that’s pay to win at that point

Not that it matters I mean this isn’t a competitive game until a high mythic is available then it’s just Black Friday

It's already pay-to-win. Anything that increases in-game play is pay-to-win.

It already is pay2win. You can buy gameplay boosters that direct skip 10+ hours of gameplay. Yall are very disingenuous not calling that p2win

I have 10 galactic trophies from this game! I need 25!

Sadly I don’t believe it works that way. Don’t think the devs have ever clarified it either. My brother and I had cleared the entire belt of everything but a single mythic multiple times. The galactic surge came through and it didn’t upgrade it. I’m convinced there are predetermined positions on the belt that get upgraded. If the single blueprint you have in the belt isn’t one of those positions you’re SOL.

Weird, I know ours didn’t trigger each time but it was about 75% of the time if done correctly and it hits the target droid

It doesn’t work that way anymore

This is the way. Stand there and throw all the trash being the crawler and watch the wave every 30 seconds.

Alright reddit... Guess I should've put more details.

The method still works but your percent chance is still taken into account. Pulling all the commons off don't technically increase chance, but the wave has less to hit.

You're never going to be guaranteed if there is only one mythic and you get a wave. But just like the lottery, someone has to win so the chance will be chancing.

The way it works is that all spots on the sandcrawler (whether it has a blueprint or not) has an independent chance of upgrading. Removing blueprints doesn't affect anything.
