Global for depositor or non-depositors?

If you just stick to small exos, your chances are small.

Can be to late if you see 2 Warrior loot with each over 300PED. Hard to say what to hunt, therefor I stick to Trooper/Warrior only to gain Dodge, Dodge and Dodge again But in general I agree to your idea.

I agree that the middle section is left out in the dark the most, newbs don't deposit so everything they get is profit and ubers ... yeah well they ll get an ATH at some point.

I started out with two friends actually: one depositted mainly in his quest for a decent part, deposit or loot and needed to quit from the game due to the overamount of loss he made in the last year. the other one hoffed for 600 ped on his first day, gets regular hofs and just wastes his rare deposits since then thinking it's "that easy". Me on the other hand had a fair return (= acceptable loss) up untill now, but keep most of my gained items in storage. So the only thing I can really see coming is me having to spend the full storage to become an uber to ATH and MAYBE have profit afterall ...

I got a couple of hofs before depositting.
67 on basic filters, 931 on a bery old and 441 blaus hof, in the 3 sections as well^^.
Afterwards I depositted and havent hoffed since(got fair amount of glowbs tho)
Am fairly sure hoffing or globbaling is totally not related to depositting.

I have hoffed before I had deposited a dime. I have had a dry season after depositing. I have had dry season while not depositing. I have had string of 20 globals subsequent days after being 3 last months without depositing.

There is no connection.

I have deposited around 2k peds, i have been playing just over 2 months and i have had over 10 globals all around 100-200 peds and 2 hofs (1 hunting 1 mining) my hunting hof was 891 peds from a guard and my mining was a 6k ped tower of oil which took me by suprise seening im not even a miner. Anyway i think deposting seems to increase your chance of hitting something big, also i think it depends on the size of your deposit, and dont forget luck.. anyway hope this info helps you out..

All I deposited was 80 bucks some time ago and had 3 HoFs for 1,2k total and few globals for like 1k total so guess not.

trust me.. depositing doesnt help with HOF or globals..


im almost at 1k usd and i havent hit any hofs.. or any solo globals over ...130 ped i believe..

Playing for 10 months now and personally for myself I concluded a pattern.
Almost in all cases (on a monthly basis) I get the total amount of Globals/Hofs closely matching my deposits to date. If not this month - it comes over in the next.
If I need to global - I just deposit and it has never failed... I get at least a global or two within the next few hours or playing (while spending peds, not just chatting ofc ).
If I don't get it for long - I get a HOF later or an uber, which still brings the total amount of Globals/HOFs close to the amount of deposits... sometimes minus the market value of skills...

I was so worried first few months, calculating the totals of my deposits and the amount my avatar is worth...
Lately I just give more trust to the system - no matter what, whatever my deposits are - they will be coming back with globals or hofs... if not sooner than later ...

Never deposited , can't say I have many skills or that I hunt/mine hardcore , but had some globals and a mining hof (very small one).

*check achievements for more info :P*

i made about 50 globals before i deposited first time
so yes u can make globals whitout deposit
