Is Gold boost live or not yet? [MERGED THREADS]

I just opened mine and yes the gold in crystals of the gold and arena crystals have gone up

gazbea · December 2021

Looks to me like it’s live but with wrong values

The basic gold crystal was previously a minimum of 2400 and new minimum is 2500… not a 30% increase so I would hold off popping those gold crystals

If I’m wrong about the values then apologies in advance lol

Gold crystal had 2400 minumim and now it's 2500. That is not 30%

miracle_muffler · December 2021

Uncollected one still has 15000 minimum

LilMaddogHT · December 2021

yeah... it's like just over a 4% increase. Definitely not the 30% increase that was mentioned. Minimum for a standard Gold crystal so have a payout around 3,120 (2400 +30%).

DrDrill · December 2021

I saw that, hence why I'm asking hoping for Kabam to confirm
in the meantime, thanks everyone for sharing the info

Runavargr · December 2021

I thought the perma boost was supposed to go live at 1 but I didn’t see an in game message about it or notice any change to the gold crystals. Anyone got information on this.

Awawag · December 2021

In the original announcement it said it'll be live at around 10am PST on December10th, but please wait for confirmation, so I'd say wait for an in-game message before you open them.

Here's the post if anyone wants to check it out:

I’m curious as well.

TheBoogyMan · December 2021

Probably not live yet. There will be an in game mail

CobraS · December 2021

When i check the lowest gold crystal it says now that it gives 2500 gold atleast instead of the 2400 gold before. Thatsxaxraise of 4.2 % and not of 30% what they promised. So how is possible. Or is kabam counting in a different way

Zuko_ILC · December 2021

Bad math?

Sunnyz_786 · December 2021

Yeah and uc gold crystals still say 15k

TheRobot007 · December 2021

They haven't updated the gold crystals yet. They said they were going to send out a message in the in game mail & to not open your gold crystals until we get that message.

mustgofaster · December 2021

You need to wait for in game message saying the gold boost is live.

Werewrym · December 2021

It could be that the percentages were increased and not necessarily the baseline, but I want to wait for confirmation before opening any.

Runavargr · December 2021

Ya guess we will have to keep holding on until they let us know.

Kabam Miike · December 2021

The Gold increase has gone live (in fact, it went live before 10). I'm not good at math, but the changes were made to give an approximate 30% boost across all crystals.

AFAIK: On a 1 to 1 crystal rate, it wouldn't look like much of an increase, but opening a bunch of them will net out to that increase.

I'm gonna get somebody much better at math to explain this though, so stay tuned on exactly how this works.

Wiredawg1 · December 2021

@Kabam Miike where the email in game like you guys said was going be sent?

Please do get a better explanation because the previous explaination was a 30% per crystal not over a batch of crystals. If we need to open a batch to get 30% Kabams need to state the exact number of crystals to get a 30% increase.

We were lead to believe the 30% is per crystal.

This! Man, you guys need a communication training .. that was not clear

A batch of crystal or a single crystal, don’t think the ratio of increase will change

It is 30% per crystal. 30% of 1 crystal is barely anything, that's what he in stating. If you get 10k Gold and it's a 30% boost, you'll get 13k. Opening a few hundred you will actually notice the boost. That's what Mike is talking about.

@DNA3000 need your help pls. Not really sure how 30% increase happens like what they are saying lol

RavenKeeper · December 2021

This is ridiculous.

Zeraphan · December 2021

That is not what he is talking about.

I hope you are wrong, otherwise this not an acceptable change. I rather hoard for the old system of semi-annual boosting.

Are you sure it's live? I just popped a single Uncollected Golden Crystal and got 15k gold. Wasn't that always the minimum? Minimum should be 19.5k after 30% boost.
