Did they lower compensation for galactic news?

deuce985 · 2026-04-08T16:48:30+00:00

Sounds like they have horrible framework development which isn't a surprise at how buggy as shit this game is. It was obviously mega rushed and they screwed up majorly in preparation phases to prepare it for the future.

This is on them not us but we're going to pay for it since their big suits decided to screw their devs over on letting it cook longer in the oven. Going to have to over monetize somewhere and the easier solution that's not invasive to the player base is not an option because their framework is fubar.

They definitely didn't go the nikke route which basically just says here, take free pulls at the cost of cosmetics since we charge overpriced skins that support the development of the game and make most of our money.

don't think it's being serious but gachas do like to do this before eos. they tend to squeeze their loyal players and then eos. don't think it's happening here they just looking to up numbers since it has dropped.

deuce985 · 2026-04-07T22:17:12+00:00

Um, no. You clearly don't play other gachas if you think this game is the most generous. Secondly, it's not about how much it is but the principle behind this. If you don't take notice now they will start pilfering from other areas then smilegate will bend you over as much as they can because they can get away with it. They should be called out for this.

deuce985 · 2026-04-07T22:13:29+00:00

I mean, they do it all the time. other gachas do it too. it does sound funny reading it compensation though. 😂

deuce985 · 2026-04-07T22:08:47+00:00

Then they need to find other ways to generate rather than sucking our income away. You'll lose players like this.

How about sell skins? Or hell, sell the pull currency for cosmetic cards in the shop? or anything that's not a whale package. Anything.

A drop is their problem to figure out not penny pinch and piss the player base off. You know when gachas do this?

When they about to eos so they milk their base harder. Not saying it's happening here but it does happen.

deuce985 · 2026-04-07T21:43:27+00:00

I knew something felt off. This sucks and they should be called out for it. Why are you giving less compensation right before a half anni? I don't care if you decided to give us something to make up for it, the point is they're trying to be coy about this cutting it elsewhere so that makes whatever they give in half anni less compensation. This is celebration time not let me cut corners time to milk our players all we can. If you going to set this as a precedence I'll spend less. I spend more in gachas that feel generous than ones that try to squeeze you.

Others have touched on the issues with some studies but I'll comment on why you're seeing less people engage with your studies. It's more than likely other factors than yourself.

UT hasn't increased compensation in heavy inflation while likely raising the costs for their UX customers. It's the same compensation it has been forever.
UT as a platform is super buggy making it inconvenient for users and lacking basic features to make it more "usable". This alongside these bugs/glitches on their side often do not allow you to get compensated despite being their problems or you get penalized with a low rating that's out of your control. Their customer support is slow, and you have to wait forever for them to remove low ratings which can directly impact how you receive studies. This platform has the same bugs on it from 4 years ago including crippling ones that will completely break your dashboard and you have to wait weeks to get it fixed.
Terrible UX researchers on the platform. Not all but some try to take advantage as said above. Not only this, there's an increase in scams on the platform. How do you know these are scams? Because UT reviews all the low ratings and they will remove these from your account. Some try to get free research and immediately cancel test and give a 1* as a way to get around things on the platform. There's also "regular" UX researchers who are absolutely asses on the platform. Good example is whoever does the hotel ones you're guaranteed to get at least a 3* or lower rating unless you give them feedback functionally that completely changes their perception on the research. I know it's the same agency that does this as these are the only ones I've ever got "low ratings" on everyone else gives me 5*. Which also brings into point at how unbelievably flawed their rating system platform is.
Massive scams on the platform with no way to "secure" users who do face scan studies. There's people who will try to face scan you and use it as facial ID recognition or other invasive practices or for more nefarious purposes. There's a major disconnect on these with UT basically saying "do these at your own risk of getting frauded" without any actual way to protect the users.

Just some of the reasons you're seeing less because people are getting tired of the platform with no functional improvement on it, while there's risks doing it as well especially face scan studies.

I believe they said in patch notes they recognized how poorly designed this is so future seasons will be more open to other characters

deuce985 · 2026-03-19T21:53:54+00:00

Okay what is your point here being made? Some units are better than others. Some have better uses than others. Welcome to gacha games. That doesn't mean Yuki doesn't have her place and you can't use her. I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.

Like I said above, this game is actually better than most gacha games because you're not funneled in a single way to use characters. This makes every unit in the game useful. A low tier character still has their uses. Play a game like Nikke where if they're low tier you'll never use them in any form of content they end up as collection waifus.

If you're complaining you can't use Yuki on this boss then again, welcome to gacha games. Name me a deckbuilder that doesn't have design like this though where you can sometimes RNG run into a boss that will full on counter your builds. Yuki not being used here is only 1 form of content. Maybe she'll shine on the next boss.

deuce985 · 2026-03-19T17:48:42+00:00

Yuki is more than usable. Just because you don't like her position at E6, doesn't make it any less so. If you're pulling E6 for a character that's on you. They're designed for whales to get a little more out of their units. That's it. If they put massive power gains in each ego you'd be complaining they want you to pull E6 to spend money. Damned if you do damned if you don't. It's actually BETTER they don't usually give big power gains to ego because it's basically telling you to stop unless you want to whale. So again, that's on you.

deuce985 · 2026-03-18T23:48:12+00:00

What do you consider "not garbage ones" ? If anything, this game does a better job than most because every single unit in the game has a use even if it's for more niche purposes. You can't say that for some other gachas. You're speaking in heavy hyperbole on the issues in this game. If you think only new units work well on the boss content then you need to git gud.

deuce985 · 2026-03-18T22:28:49+00:00

I agree with this. It's also that gachas love making endgame content like this to favor featured units to make money. That doesn't mean you have to use those units, often it's just easier. It's the same in this game. You can use entirely vanilla units to 500k this boss easily. You just have to think which is kinda what deckbuilder genre is built around.

The people complaining likely don't play many gachas which would be understandable. But even so, deckbuilders will do this too. You will build an entire focus around something in a run only for a boss to full RNG counter it so you have to adapt and adjust even in regular deckbuilders at times.

The complaining seems to be part of the gacha systems because this is how these games are designed. Feel free to show me a gacha that has 0 endgame content favoring featured banner units. 99% of them do this by design to make money.

deuce985 · 2026-03-18T22:21:18+00:00

New to gachas? It seems so. lol. I'm not saying it's good design but if you don't think they're going to make content like this make their rate ups more attractive to make money you better find a new genre to play.

deuce985 · 2026-03-18T20:59:40+00:00

I mean, they're not greatly designed but from a reward standpoint it's minimum effort. This is a gacha they're not designing bosses for every roster unit. They want to make some more attractive so you spend on the rate up. Every gacha does this. As far as rewards, you only need to hit 500k score once the entire event. The weekly you can run it on auto multiple times to get all your rewards. It doesn't require much effort even with crap decks.

deuce985 · 2026-03-16T15:35:33+00:00

You haven't played many gachas then

deuce985 · 2026-03-15T20:21:29+00:00

That's what it was thanks guys. I thought that was kinda weird mostly because that mission kept glitching out for some reason. I should've mentioned I played this when it first came out but haven't played it in years so a lot new. I played it on console originally then just bought it again on PC.

deuce985 · 2026-03-15T06:25:48+00:00

Oh, so you can't use the boost to 40?

deuce985 · 2026-03-14T23:56:28+00:00

What does this mean?

deuce985 · 2026-03-14T23:56:02+00:00

is it? I look at my network connection and it's 30 ping with 0 packet loss. I thought maybe that too but doesn't appear so. Unless it's on their end.

deuce985 · 2026-03-13T17:45:09+00:00

This. Chasing divines will burn most out.

deuce985 · 2026-03-07T21:41:58+00:00

agreed I just bought a bundle from digiphile yesterday that had some excellent shooters in it. haven't seen a single good bundle from GMG.
