:scratch2: Can anyone give me any reason and some advice on why I have not received a global as yet? Is it just having a bit more patience, I need to get more skills or am I doing something wrong

I have been playing now for some four months on a regular basis and have worked my rifle skill to around 1450 all other skills associated with hunting are either inept, novice or green,

I’m using a breer 2 with a 102 amp. I have Rascal armour with 1a plates and hunt mainly young and mature Armax cows I just about get away with killing atrax young with a bit of faping (fap 15) thrown in and high maturity levels of Daikiba, Foul, Exarosaur and some Drones 01.

The closest I have been was when I first started mining hitting a large deposit of oil with my 3 rd ever probe

I have deposited around £40 to get me going, don’t know if this is relevant or not

Any suggestion or advise would be warmly welcomed
:scratch2:
 
Entropia is dynamic ;P

Itll come, sooner or later...
 
All I can say is

:yup: Patience...Patience

You will see one before long. It took me quite some time as well. I have yet to see a HoF I can call my own.

Good luck to you.

Keep hunting, you will get your global sooner or later.
And keep in mind: It's better to have a good average loot all the time than a rare global.
Allthough is noce to see those little yellow stars swirling around you... ;)
 
globals come easier with bigger/higher maturity mobs. But still you often have to kill hundreds a day to get them. So skill up, hunt more, kill bigger mobs and you will get there eventually :yay:
 
I would suggest go for long trips (hunting / mining / crafting) whichever you are familiar with. Cover more ground if you are hunting or mining. :D You might want to try the agros at twins. ;)
 
I second vortexy's post, take 10k ammo out to twin for a week to blast some argos and you will likely find your first swirlies:yay:
 
I agree the 2 post above.

Try to find an area where you are alone, and clean all mob during a long hunt run.

Firstly, Thanks for all the response.

I agree that good average loots are better and I have had a good run of 15 to 20 peders. And I don’t want people to think that I’m moaning about the loots that I’m getting because its early days for me but I feel that I’m not a true Entropian until I see those little yellow stars swirling around

I assume that’s what happens when you get a global then: D

I had my first global after about 4 months of ( quite intense ) playing, and it was about 70 peds on a daikiba young :laugh:

Good luck, and may Lootius be with you :cool:
 
Just so you feel better....it took a year for me to have my first global then 2 years (present time) to get 2 more globals. And that's all I got :(. Why do I keep playing? I love the community, tha game's concept. And im addicted :laugh: .
 
I can understand

I have not yet received a Global...... But I keep getting close. Been trying to skill up and now I can hunt bigger mobs so *fingers crossed* maybe next time I hunt....


Good Loot to you

All the advice here is good. Stay persistent! I globaled after one week of hunting and have done so usually at least once a week since. My daughter had to wait a little over four months before getting her first global and gave me evil looks across the room, green with envy, every time my global trumpets blared. Only a few weeks ago, she finally got her first global (molisk) and since then she's got two hofs too! One on a Combibo young and one on a merp stalker. Keep hunting. It will come. :)

Hugs,

I have been playing for about 2 months now and had 2 solo globals and 1 team and all were from high maturity mobs. It seems that the young and mature ones barely loot so that might be your problem.

I can kill an armax or atrax young or mature but they never loot much of anything for me while the weaker mob provider and older loot much better. I'd switch to lower lever mobs with higher maturity and see if you get a global. It worked for me but it could just be luck.

Also, I usually hunt on weekends because the loots seem way better. Sometimes there's lag trying to get the loot but when it comes it's much higher.

Your results may vary though but good luck.

It's luck. My list of globals includes:

Daikiba Young
Daikiba Mature
Male Snable Snot Young
Atrox Mature
Atrox Young
Cornundo Mature
Tripudion Young

Actually, most of my globals are from lower maturities, which makes them all the better because it cost so little to kill it. I'm sure there's a higher chance to get globals from higher maturities, but at what cost? I think it's all luck. Just being in the right place at the right time. Overall, I do agree that I would much rather have nice steady regular loot than rely on the luck of getting a global.

Hugs,

Globals comes when is time is ready, sometimes it happens with hard work, sometimes accidentally. See my signature, not so many globals but good stories with those luck hits. Best so far is last evening, i was make way back to Nate Valley TP, after soc members ask to team hunting atrox's. I see TP blue spot and one red one, heading to near red and check what mob it is. I see Cauda provider and attack with rifle, few shoots and nice sound :wtg: , see loot window, wau full tt Riker UL2 and half tt Vigi harness. That i call lucky shot, if i don't make way to mob i miss that 200 ped global (silent value is bigger than 400 ped).

Mining globals are show after i start using low tech amps with of-102.
 
I have been playing about 1 months and had 4 solo global and 3 team global

My solo globals are

Atrox young 173 ped
Atrox mature 86 ped
Drone 01 65 ped
Bristelehog 64 ped

also my friend was started with me at the same time ,he is more lucky then me

he has 6 solo global and 1 HOF (873 ped) ,4 team global

It is just how much time u spent and how much mob u killed.

Completely right, Skill up, hunt some more and time will tell...
Since Globalling is all about luck/skill (about 90/10 i would think) you have nothing to do but wait and keep on hunting...

I have been palying for over a year and have had at least 60 globals and a couple hofs all solo. But since the last vu I have`nt had a one. It`s withered all my ped down to near 0. One just never knows but I don`t think it`s getting any easier. Good luck and with time it will come. I sure hope I can get back in the game.
 
I did a whole big write up on kills, loots, and globals a few months back. The gist of it was this:

There is nothing special or unique about a global. It is simply a loot that meets or exceeds the 50PED mark in value.

Each creature has a TT value associated to it which is tied closely to it's max health. This is the creatures STANDARD value. You will obtain this value (+/- 5%) in roughly 40% of the loot windows. All loots fall into tiers that are based on multipliers. Tier I is 25% of the standard value. Tier II is 50% of standard value. Tier III is standard value. The tiers continue upward including 2X, 5X, 10X, 20X, etc. The likelyhood of obtaining a higher multipier on any given loot decreases with the size (obviously). Crack the 50PED barrier and you get a global.

I have all the numbers for the % chances of a loot having a particular multiplier but elect not to post them at this time for obvious reasons.

To increase your chance of a global, either kill enough critters that your threshold for a 50PED sized multiplier approaches 100%, or kill critters with a higher standard value and go for a lower multiplier.

It's really just that simple.
 
I'm gonna skip the globalling advice, 'cause I'd just repeat what everyone else is saying.

However, looking at your setup and what you're hunting. I have some advice.

Rascal and 1As give fantastic impact protection, barely any cut, and no stab protection at all. Armax do 50/50% stab/imapct and Atrax 33% of each (This is according to pe-wiki stats created by folks experimenting with different armors.)

I'd say, that while these 2 mobs are great hunting, either change your armor (say, shogun+2As) or adjust which mobs you hunt. (The latter, is of course easier and cheaper)

Your setup is fantastic for impact-only mobs, such as high maturity Tripudion, Foul, Exarosaur, Cornundacauda, Berycled, mid level Equus, and even young/mature Mermoths. Although Equus and Mermoths, you might want to upgrade to Breer M3a and E-amp 12. Shade better damage.

I know in your post you listed some of these mobs on your list, but I wanted to emphasize that your armor setup is really geared for impact-only mobs. Go to pe-wiki and compare mob damage vs. armor protection and weapon damage to their health to help you find the best setup for your hunting.

Happy hoffing.

Well, if you want do global here is what to do...

Deposit 50 USD
Buy enough materials for 50 OA-101 attempts
Go full condition and click through

Youll most likely get like 2-3 globals even though you would en up with a loss of 300 PEDs... :scratch2:

Ehrm, nevermind.
 
I remember my first Global, something like 280 ped on a Berycled... but is a HOF ! Shortly after a deposit of, maybe 50$ or more. After some month of sweating when "farms" exist.

A Z1002A1 reselled after some try, expensive decay for me at this time. In my confusion I'm not sure about that, but it seem's to be a claim deed with few minuts delay in the loot, but I never had it again, so maybe I had dream about it :).

With a jester D1 maybe amped with 101 or 103 and paladin armor probably (rascal tigh).

I remember also those newcomer with 27k lyst ATH laste year, using TT finders.

The most thing I'm sure is my level of immersion in game when I find good loots.
 
This "hunt high end mobs" isn't quite true. May be true for better loots....but I got my 1st global (and only hunting one) off an exe young which is hardly an uber mob.

That day I was about to give up cos loot was so bad, and I was only wasting a few 100 ammo to pass time anyway.

You can be lucky.

Sorry did not read through the whole thread but as many have said just have patience it will happen.

I played for a very long time before I got a global (it was a hof for 200 peds on a merp young E of Jason I will never forget it.)

Its like watching water boil if you watch to closely it seems like it will take forever for that water to boil but the minute you look away its boiling over.

These days unless I am on CND amped to the hilt globals and hofs always come when I least expect them to.
 
Globals are random.

Play your game to try and break even. If you get a global then thats a bonus.

Almost true, but the 2x multiplier doesn't exists. It's 3x..
To hunt economic you'll have to look how much the cost to kill are and the standard value. Cost to kill must be lower or you will loose guaranteed (is hunting them long enough, a nice global or hof on the first shot not taking into account). You also have the uber mobs. They will never give no loots, but the standard value is quite a bit lower than cost to kill (even with imk2 etc). The extra they have is a 3x multiplier on top of the highest multiplier. For instance armax dominant is such a mob. Normally you will hardly see 4k hofs and up. The max multplier causes the hofs to be under 4k. But sometimes the uber multiplier kicks in and you suddenly see 12-14k hofs.. This is 4k times 3. I believe i've never seen hofs in the 7-10k ranges. This is because of the gap between normal hofs and uber hofs.

Or never.

I know people who hadn't had a global in a year and some who hoffed in 2 days. EU is pretty much all about luck like a casino, so wait, if it comes it comes, if it doesn't, oh well.
 
There is an art, it says, or rather, a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. Pick a nice day, [The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy] suggests, and try it.

The first part is easy. All it requires is simply the ability to throw yourself forward with all your weight, and the willingness not to mind that it's going to hurt.

That is, it's going to hurt if you fail to miss the ground. Most people fail to miss the ground, and if they are really trying properly, the likelihood is that they will fail to miss it fairly hard.

Clearly, it is the second part, the missing, which presents the difficulties.

One problem is that you have to miss the ground accidentally. It's no good deliberately intending to miss the ground because you won't.


:silly2: :D
 
get a fast weapon, efficiently burn through 500 peds of ammo a day, kill decent sized creatures and you will most likely global every day or 2. Keep in mind that most often, globals hardly cause ppl to break even, let alone profit.
