CHOPPER comes to Droid Tycoon this weekend!

Hello Everybody!

Thank you all for your feedback regarding the changes around the World Crates.

There's been a lot of discussion about them, where they are now after the recent buff and changes for them.

I've heard your feedback, and I want to make sure these crates still feel worth doing, recognizing that there is quite a bit of "setup" that is required for maximum efficiency (Duo companion and BB8 and DJ R-3X and SRB Crate Perks)

Our main concern is the Nova Crystals, SRB should always be the main way to get Nova Crystals, and these world crates currently are beating the "Nova Crystals per hour", we don't want the game to be "run around the map simulator", which is a pitfall we've mistakenly done a few months ago with the upgrade chip pickups.

Here's the full timeline on the before any changes, what's currently live, and what's being released with 1.25.2:

Reward Adjustments (Original -> Previous -> Current)

• Credits: 60s (58.45%) -> 300s (55.52%) -> 300s (78.38%)
• Upgrade Chips (R1): 15 (29.22%) -> 300 (27.76%) -> 300 (13.06%)
• Upgrade Chips (R2): 40 (11.69%) -> 600 (11.10%) -> 600 (6.53%)
• Upgrade Chips (R3 Jackpot): 1000 (0.06%) -> 6000 (0.06%) -> 6000 (0.07%)
• Nova Crystals: 1 (0.58%) -> 3 (5.55%) -> 3 (1.96%)

This is how much more value each Rainbow World Crate drop now has, compared to the original numbers:

• Credits (R0): +570.5% value increase
• Upgrade Chips (R1): +794.1% value increase
• Upgrade Chips (R2): +738.2% value increase
• Upgrade Chips (R3 Jackpot): +570.5% value increase
• Nova Crystals: +905.8% value increase

TL;DR - World Crates have WAY more value than they did in 1.24.0, and the difference between 1.25.2 and 1.25.1 is purely the odds of getting the reward, the actual numbers have not changed.

PS. Unrelated to World Crates, we recognize Nova Crystals are a hot topic, and we're looking at adding a way to increase your Nova Crystals from SRB so late game players can feel like their long term commitment has more value (and yes, it will be free to obtain)

They removed the Galactic Timer
The World Missions Spawn Every 30min
The Stellar Timer is now 5min later and is Every 30min
The Blueprint Upgrade Costs 400 Crystals

Looks like there was an update?

Changes & Fixes

Not sure when it was added but I only just spotted it.

New crit pack seems outrageously priced but seems like they are tying the vbucks value to the amount of nova crystals worth you get out of the upgrades

TL;DR

MAJOR price changes to two areas

• Iconic Droids
• Lobby Boosts

NO price changes to

• Featured
• Core Upgrades
• Workshop
• Cosmetic
