Cinema ads. 1 advert per 8 hours.

So the new update is out and I’ve watch my first video. Got 20 gold nice. Then see the timer says my next video is in 8 hours time. Apparently I misread or assumed wrong from the update notes that we would be getting 4 videos every 8 hours. I personally don’t agree with the change. Yes the rewards you can get are better for a one off and you have the chance for phones. However we lose the chance for legendary weapons and armours and gold frags and components and a source of gas throughout the day. Please discuss this to give NG some feedback.

One cinema ad can now be viewed once every 8 hours (instead of 4 ads per hour previously).
I presume they have calculated that the odds of getting something decent from watching 32 videos in the same period as one now are the same, or similar. I have my doubts.
--> Do you need a guild? ...send me a Private Message. My Recruiting den and my "Art Objects" in the Next Games Collection.
in the big picture, the focus is now shifting from a small chance of receiving a good reward over a large set of attempts of watching ads, to a constant guaranteed good rewards but with longer cooldown time to watch ads.
Such rewards as weapons and fragments can be added, however it leads to situations where a) there will always be 3-star weapons and components present in silver chests, b) there will always be a chance to get a weapon with sub-optimal traits, even a legendary one. Both of these cases are highly chance-dependent and can quite often will result in scrapping a piece of equipment, for example.
To substitute that, a more universally-helpful rewards are given out now, such as phones (which were not in the ads at all before), gold and gas - to make sure that ads always give you a reward that can be helpful to you, without taking a lot of your time spent watching them. This helps to eliminate a case of "grinding" ads, or, in other words, watching a lot of them receiving small and insignificant rewards, but having a very small chance of sometimes getting something good of it. The number of resources in rewards is also adjusted to be higher than previously.
I've never seen anyone complain of grinding the videos... Already the hell of grinding in the challenge will continue...
Or it reduces the amount of gas in the challenge missions, 6 gas per mission is absurd, 5 would be fairer.

I could possibly have been ok with this @Vane if you guys had managed to get the dynamic RP's working and thus reducing the grind and the fuel needed to get to high levels.
That ad fuel me and my guildmates earned often contributed to getting 10 extra radios so you have to deduct them from the ones you might get now.
this can also make a big difference to the guild stars, now that 30k is the new goal to aim at.
To even out you would have to get 30 or more fuel from the 8 hour ad but of course NG barely comes up with half.
I guess you better bring back the 30 fuel with every trade goods shop restock untill you fix those dynamic round passes!
Our corporate overlords are smiling...
This was all exchanged for 1 single video every 8 hours... Horrible!!!
There are 96 daily videos exchanged for only 3. I see no advantage in that.
I welcome the transition away from ads. It is absolutely a good thing and it is great to see the game is doing well enough that it is an option for the game but when the downside is that I can't play the game nearly as much that's a pity.
