So it was 2% and I was mainly at around 1%. Now It's .5% and i'm lower than .25%. Sounds about right.

What was the rate you were getting the certs from the slots? I was getting one per 99 stack and every now and again I would get 2 per 99 coins. This was before the nerf. I always thought that was low. Now it's 1 per 4.5 stacks of 99 for me.

Hahahahaha. After this mess, no thank you. Yet another item with promise but they destroyed it.

Yulp, good point. I cancelled mine last week after they decided to make most of the end game ops not worth running.

I stopped at 500 coins, after 400 coins I had received nothing but rep items but around 450 I won a cartel certificate. So after 500 coins. 1- cartel certificate 0- green jawa scrap 0- blue jawa scrap 0- purple jawa scrap Good times.

Radical thought and i'm just putting this out there. Jawa scrap is not the only thing the machines dropped and certainly not the only thing that was nerfed. I know. Crazy thinking.

I would call it typical. It's not directly related to the purchase of a cartel pack, so it was not tested or thought out very well.

In all fairness, they have made the entire game pretty much pointless at this point. They cut out all reason to run end game ops other than Ravengers/ToS, they killed the slot machines. Kill all content and pump out more cartel packs. This is the same company where the COO was so excited about microtransactions that he mentioned charging everytime your gun ran out of bullets. It's completely expected. I wonder what is next for you fine people.

Yulp. The machines breathed new life into the game for me. I bought two of them this morning for my stronghold, but once again EAware managed to disappoint me and remove some sort of fun I might have found in this game. Let me tell you why a guy like me likes these machines, really fast. When the CM launched I spent $140 USD on cartel packs to win a white crystal and a throne. Guess what I never received in my $140 dollars spent. Not to mention the $20 here and there and not once have I ever gotten anything of value. The millions and millions and millions of credits wasted on cartel packs and nothing. So this argument of fairness is mute and garbage. Is it fair that I spent $140 on those two items and never won them? Is it fair that people won multiple in a fraction of the time? These people and talking fairness. There is no fairness in a game like this, so it's a weak argument at best. Whenever RNG is involved, fairness it out of the window. Oh well. Once again, they fail to see that there are many other games out there to play. I guess it's back to Elite: Dangerous for me.

Pretty much, this. I myself actually liked the slot machine idea and bought 2 of them this morning to have in my own stronghold. Imagine my surprise when I see they just gutted it. 500 coins used and one cert and zero jawa items.

500 coins used so far and i'm up to. 1- certs 0- jawa green 0- jawa blue 0- jawa purple Seems they cut the certs by at least 1/5. I would get 1 per stack of 99 coins before this *fix*, now it's just absurd. These MMO devs really know how to destroy anything a playerbase might get enjoyment out of.

Is the slot machine not in collections after you use it?

When I played through the game and all content the first time, I never spacebar. But i've been at this a long time and I run or ran content with multiple toons, so I definitely spacebar it now. It's not Rocky 4 or Man on fire, I can't watch it 100 times.

None. I cancelled my sub after the decision to pretty much make any op other than DP/DF NiM, Ravengers and ToS drop ultimate comms. They took too much end game content out. I will get the rep for my Yavin walker and check Dulfy to see if they put comms back into TFB-DP HM modes again.

So? Why are you concerned about what they are doing if it does not concern you. I bet you make a great neighbor.

You just need to face it, this game is going down hill and fast. It started with the introduction of the CM and how people embraced it. When 90% of the content introduced into the game is cash shop related then you sir, have created a terrible game.

Well said. The elitist mentality in this game is absurd. It has cost us non elitist a good percentage of end game content. Zero reason to do my fave two ops any more DP/DF. So you have 2 ops and an HM weekly that give ultimate comms. Because few people will do NiM DP/DF. The elitist are happy. I'm glad for them. I was not happy with the decision so I canceled my subscription, but as long as the pvp'ers and elitist are happy then i'm glad.

As someone who has played for 3 years and the ONLY time he has ever won anything was via these slot machines, I am EXTREMELY thankful for them. I was able to win the rancor within 100k (when the casino was live). When the CM launched, I got caught up with the gambling bug and spent $140 USD on cartel coins to get packs to hopefully win a throne and a white crystal. Not to mention the millions upon millions of credits i've spent on packs to try to get a cathar sword or a walker. I never won anything, that's how great my luck is. 250k with these machines and I was able to get the rep to become legend, and get the certs to get a throne and a meditation chair. To say I am thankful is an understatement.

I understand the SMs not giving ultimate comms but what they did is ensure that those ops will not be ran again because they are absolutely pointless to run now. All they did was pacify a few busy body elitist and further make the game boring and take away end game content. There is absolutely zero reason to run EV-DP now. DF/DP NiM will still never be ran by the masses. So that leaves two ops that are worth running and the weekly. Terrible decision to pacify the minority, yet again. Oh well, it's their money. Not mine. I have half a million other games I can play.

I think instead of working on banning exploiters, you should work on how you can make people not do the remaining 4 ops that give ultimate comms and make the rest of your long time loyal player base more bored and leave the game.

I agree. Now we have zero reason to run ops other than Ravengers and ToS. Zero reason. They just knocked several items off the list from a shallow end game as it is. Meh, it's their money they will be losing, but then again, I know they don't want subs. They want cartel coin buyers. Not sure EAware understands there are plenty of other games that people can migrate to when they make decisions against the masses and cater to the few.

Whew. That's good to hear. Thanks.

It's pretty cool but I have over 20 characters and I just don't see me shelling out 40mil for this option. I don't think i've ever had that amount total.....

Why in the blazes did they change this option? It's beyond horrific now. Your options, as many of you know, are 0/26/52/77% as opposed to the once 0-100% options that I recall. Zero is sluggish and 26% is waaaaaay too fast and erratic. I just don't understand this decision on their part. Taking away customization is never what the player base wants. If anything they always want more customization. Does anyone know why they changed this?

Same here. I deleted the game and re-installed it and when I did and had to redo the camera speed- it's a complete disaster. We need to be able to fine tune that. It's horrific as it is.
