*QUESTION* - GMP, I'm confused....

[Nuffie]

So, I'm getting actually 3 different numbers for my current GMP standing.
I kinda sorta understand, that part of your stuff is stored online but that would add up to 2 numbers - not 3.

Here's a link to a picture, which I've just taken to demonstrate my issue.

#1: GMP 3,399,490
#2: 508,700 + #3: 2,890,790


I guess you have a different interface for the console version ? I tried to research my problem via google and found alot of people with a simple display of GMP.

If somebody could explain those 3 numbers to me I'd be very thankful.


Cheers,

The GMP display was changed recently, so that's why you're seeing a different version around.

The top GMP is your total. At the bottom you can see a number + another number. That's offline + online, with the online GMP carrying the globe symbol.

It's the patched up UI, you have your offline GMP on the left and online GMP on the right and over it you have all the GMP.

Okay, thanks for your fast reply!
So I kind of thought so, however, when I for example research something for say 600.000 GMP;
That exceeds 508.700 "offline" GMP as seen on the picture and it therefore goes in a negative red color.

The 600.000 GMP cost however wouldn't exceed my, as you've explained, "total" GMP, but that red number ( #2 ) is keeping me nervous. How does this effect my total balance ?

Your offline GMP is always balanced out to be 10% of your total GMP. So in the scenario you describe, your offline GMP would go into the red temporarily, but eventually the game will redistribute your total GMP so that your offline amount is 10% and online is the other 90%.

The fact that your offline is in the red is fine, as long as your total GMP doesn't go into the red. Just be sure to stay online until the GMP balances out, because if your offline GMP goes into the red and then you go offline, for whatever reason, your total GMP would suddenly be in the red (since the game can no longer check your online GMP balance). That could result in staff morale issues and soldiers leaving DD, if you continue to play for too long with your GMP in the red.
