What is the normal though? If we take all forum members and your legion into account that's only roughly 1.5k players.

From a purely statistical point of view, it's entirely possible for this random sampling of (1.5k) out of 61k players to not receive a single cube for 2 weeks.

Rolling no energy cube repeatedly 14 times has a 33% chance of happening. (at 8% success), translating to 20.33k players having the same phenomenon.
10% (at 15% success), 6.1k players. and 4% chance (at 20% success), 2.4k players.


While it seems unusual and absurd, I don't see it as failing to consider the obvious, I'm merely looking at the bigger picture when using statistics.
Perhaps the patch messed up daily reward coding which Dan might have to check over, but altogether it doesn't seem out of place entirely.

Good Math.

I wish Dan would be more forth coming regarding the math behind the game.

Daily Rewards have been given a boost:

* The 'Credit' reward has been increased by roughly 20x, and its chance has also been reduced in comparison to other rewards.
* In addition to energy cube chances, another artifact has been added called to the mix called 'Tri-Matrix Emblem'. This will recharge your hull and shields in addition to energy (you may remember a similar artifact was available on the daily rewards during July).

Good luck!


thank you for listening to our concern ;)

yea it sucks not gettin one but if you got one every week wouldnt that be a little too over powering? some one could like a few do stockpile that then use it to take out powerhouse players or just stat boost on lower guys, mass kill npcs, or just power level like crazy. I know some people can do that now but with a few extra energy cubes it could give them a big advantage ontop on the one they may already posses. I think that once a month would be a good drop rate tbh i would like to get 10 for a daily reward but then were is the challenge of managing your energy.

No energy cubes for a long time here either. Had 174 million credits this morning though. That's two days upkeep and then some. :)

No way that anyone can say nothing has changed now.... I just got about 20X more credits (still hate getting credits, but yes.. glad to get something) this morning than I have EVER before.

oh... and BTW.... it isn't 11 people saying this about the cubes... it is most people. Asking my legion, everyone I have spoken with is of the same opinion that the energy cubes have gone the way of the planet flux. Many holding (and now stacking) Neural interfaces in hopes.... that never pan out now it seems.

Do you even read News and updates? He said he made the credit output from daily reward 20x greater and with a lesser chance. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2648

I wouldn't mind that kind of drop rate BUT with one caveat.

Get rid of all "mission reset all clicks if you fail one click". Nothing's worse than spending like 1,500 energy on a 15 / 15 mission, then have it fail on you on the 14th click, wasting all that energy (1,350 energy) for nothing. This is where I believe more energy cubes would help.

Failing that, Dan needs to change the "failure" to just no advancement in the mission and only waste that one click and the energy to do that click, instead of resetting the whole mission (and all clicks).

I had 2 month dry spell of energy cubes while my fiance kept getting them quite frequently. She stopped playing, and BAM I got about 5 cubes in a week. then poof, about a month with no cubes dropped. I got so dependent on them that I got worried, went on forums and found this post!

Way to go guys, You just fed my paranoia! :D

I have not received an energy cube in well over a month. I don't know if anything has changed in the game coding but I can say this... for the first month or so, I got an energy cube every week to week and a half while collecting daily rewards. Something seems to have changed about five weeks ago and I have not received a single one since.

On the flipside, I've been getting a TON of credits as compared to before, and I couldn't care less since money is the last thing I need.

Finished that one, I think most people have, I've had more trouble with Collective Coercion, I finally gave up without completing it once.
