So the particle collection is a tad broken?

Three times I've seen particles jump down the track, meaning that lovely stack you were about to nip up and collect is gone.

Equally in top form, I hit begin game one time and the game instantly ended with 0 points after 0 time.

So that's four errors in three mini-game tries. Its not like I'm at a busy time of day either for the servers (Currently 1030 GMT), and my internet speed is currently ticking along at a stable 33Mbs.
And yet the game glitches out 133% of the time.

Forgive me for saying this is leaving me underwhelmed, never mind the whole "Where the hell is that system?" Mini-game to which I had to resort to google to solve.

    First one I think is due to destroying one molecule, it does a bit of a reset and speeds up the particles, destroy a second one and it will do it again making them move even faster.

    Second one I think is due to you starting the game just as someone else finishes it on the same molecule, happened to me a couple of times, but I still got the reward.

    Yeah, it's broken, but since I have no plans to ever touch it again once I have my Q-grindmendations, I don't really care if it doesn't award me anything but a completed objective.

    I take it you haven't read the info on the tech upgrade you get from crafting these particles.

    As far as I can tell, it doesn't actually matter how good you do the minigame.


    Granted, rhythm games aren't exactly my forte(I don't like them; they don't like me), but I haven't noticed a difference in rewards between getting 1000+ points or 0 points. The end result has always just been a single sliver for me.

    I love it when people start in the middle of a conversation, with no background whatsoever.

    Somebody want to explain to me WTF this thread is about?

    That was my impression as well, and other people have mentioned it. Guess I just got a new way of playing its the "alt-Tab" method...

    Had one silver so far instead of the colored trace, so the better (or luckier) you get the better the reward.

    I don't care for these mini-game puzzles. I had more fun playing hide and seek / chase the Q than this.
    Green people don't have to be.... little.

    Yep, I press the START button, and then go do other things for the two to three minutes it takes for the challenge to fail, since it doesn't matter how well you do anyway.
