View Full Version : Lets face it scratchers have always been irrelevant

Why not make them like real life scratchers and people have a small chance of getting their money back.

if they match 1 or 2 then they get nothing. They have to at least get 3 of a kind to qualify for something.

3 cars and they get a free assault demon to be used in street assault
3 health bars and they get a free raid boss refill
3 bullets and they get a free stamina refill
3 lightning bars and they get a free energy refill
3 syringes and they get a free war health refill

If they get 4 of the above then they get two refills, 5 of the above gets five refills and for the jackpot 6 out of 6 give them 200 gold for hitting the jackpot.

Unlike the current prizes at least these can continue to be used no matter the stat inflation.

This is actually a great idea. That would be awesome. Scratchers would actually be something to look forward to and not just something stupid you have to do when you log on

Also a cash opening option would be awesome.

The Cash value needs to be increased its irrelevant for most players now

That's a great idea Cap. Only problem is that they can sell each of those for RW$. Which means it'll never happen. ;-)

If they do nothing else with scratchers, I'd as soon see them go away. They're irrelevant enough that clicking through is a waste of time.

I got 50 rp today. 20 more days and I can buy an Uzi!

BRILLIANT! Presently, for me, Scratchers have a single function, to make it take longer to get to the main screen, which is only mildly annoying most of the time, but phone throwing aggravating during SA.
Maybe they could drastically lower the price and make them totally optional (or free once a week)? I only bought one once, and that was totally a mis-tap.

Those scratch off prizes are a joke. I've been hoping Gree, would make them a little bit more interesting. Has anyone one in a higher level ever gotten the top grand prize? I keep reading a lower level getting a grand prize, but I've as yet to come across a higher level getting it. I guess the grand prize is also one of those items the lower levels get to enjoy?

I've never matched 6 with any acct. 5, once or twice.

Kingdom Age has scratchers every 3 hours; I like it. Having them once is day in CC is ok, just one of many many many many many pop-ups when I open the app.

GREE might have learned their lesson in KA: if the scratchers are too good, gold customers will buy & scratch until their stats are maxed out.

I recall a certain Fire Monster back in the day. That was pretty nifty. Scratchers were pretty good back when wars first started.

I got a 67/67 vehicle today I think.

So I think it's safe to say it's not in your best interest not to mess with me right now.

Now just hold on here!!! Today I got a Frying Pan! These things are superb! I'm almost tempted to dump gold to spare the Future Frying Pans of America!!!!!!!!!

I go through that screen so fast I hardly ever see what I get. The other day though one of my accounts got the Mech Armor. I would have rather had it on my main but I'll take one. A few days later my lowest IPH player got the $100m prize. I bought the LTB that I would have never been able to afford otherwise. So I've been playing a year and a half, those are the only good ones I've ever gotten, both within a 1 week period very recently.

Hmmmmm... Perhaps this itching and scratching has paid off for some. Maybe if we keep it up? Who knows?!

Purple passions? Sounds like something my woman keeps hidden away in her top drawer.
Am I allowed to post that? May be off topic.

This would be very helpful for recruiting and when we receive unsolicited join requests.
Definitely!

Answer from Engram development team:

This is something in our list of upcoming updates (no ETA right now tho’, but in the New Year).

The jackpot items used to have modifiers. If I recall correctly, one of them used to give +10% mafia attack.
