I have 53 unopened lockboxes and i keep getting better luck next time its a joke,

they need a new system, they should just let us open a lockbox every hour,

and only gold to reset the timer.

i mean not only do we have to deal with the timer but most of time cant even open the lockbox and they just stack up whats the point of having a million lockboxes if u cant even open any.

Couldn't agree more, i have 117 and haven't opened one in 2 days, i have more lock boxes then i do hours remaining go figure...

you guys don't need more than 2 boxes at a time. it's not how many boxes you can have, it's how many boxes you can open.

That's the whole idea, they want us to spend money on gold to speed up the timer and open the boxes.

I find it offensive and have only use farmed TapJoy gold but the temptation keeps rising up as I have only got "Mafia Members" & "Nato Gas Masks" for over a day now.

Got 5 gold bars in first 7 hours of day one, up to 7 now but crap ever since.

The worst for me was three boxes opened with gold to receive a "Mafia Member". That is NOT loot in my book. Absolute BS!

Update- 4 mafia members with gold now.

Just 3? You lucky. Can't decide which I want less, +1 Mafia or DP Machine Gun. I feel like I was just DPed if you know what I mean. And, yes, I am a dude, so it's extra painful.

Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda.....

I dont get the gold building concept. I have spent Tapjoy gold on some armor and weapons which are invincible but buildings are invincible by default so why spend the gold. I cant lose my buildings but can lose my equipment that isn't gold.

You can't lose equipment of any kind. Gold equipment lures you in with higher stats than other equipment, but unless you plan to equip your mob with hundreds or thousands of gold weapons, they won't benefit you much more than earning a massive amount of RP and maxing out the high tier respect weapons.

Gold buildings on the other hand will help you increase your economy (faster than you can without them) which has many proven benefits.

Never too late to keep saving though.

Oh, I was thinkin of MW I guess, there you can lose everything, as I'm sure you are well aware of.

i get the economy view but it seems more of a status street cred thing to me. Since there is no time limit I will eventually get there without gold buildings. I got nothing but time.

Plus, I love robbing gold buildings and dont want to engender the same reaction from people who might otherwise leave me alone with my measly regular buildings.

This is a pointless comment... you get boxes by playing the game. If you are high level and have lots of energy and stamina you will get lots of boxes simply by playing the game.

We all know you dont need lots of boxes, and that its how many you open that counts. But by playing the game you will get lots of them!

By the way... I'm in a similar boat to bruiser and Xclusive... no diamond for 3 days now. Plus yesterday I used about 150G.

Its turning out to be a wild goose chase! Which would be fine if I'd only used in game cash. Stupidly I was lured into using gold!

No, we don't need XXX boxes, but we don't have a choice. Point being, with these open rates and the fact that you don't lose the box if it doesn't open, they really stack up, suggesting maybe the game dynamics of this promo are a little skewed.

If 200G guaranteed the Sig that would be cool! But like I say I spent 150g yesterday and didnt get a single diamond.

I am also hopeing dearest friend, you have noticed you have leveled up maybe once or twice ( even tree times like me) during this long journey to get 10 diamonds, price for the medium LB is level * 100, therefore, 135 (in my case) *100 = $13,500

I give up :( I'm stuck at 6 diamonds for like 2 days. This 1 hour thingy is annoying the hell outta me, I don't even check into this game for at least 3-4 hours before this whole lockboxes thing. I have 65 stamina, usually I just unload all of them by attacking 6-7 people, then go on my merry way.

Is there anyone near the boston area who has no job and want to help me with this? You can do this lockboxes thingy for me every hour. I'll pay a good rate per hour, provide food, and a few smiles, maybe winks at ya, when I'm not too busy. *



***please note : the compensation is depending on how much diamonds you get me per day, salary will go down if you get me none, food will be taken away, and a growl will be coming your way if no diamonds are obtained. I know, it's not your fault, but I HAVE to blame somebody, and it's most likely will be you.***

I haven't opened a diamond in at least 48 hours. With only 2 days to go, there is no hope of opening another 5 diamonds. At this rate even another 2 will be a stretch.

Which meets my exact expectations from the start. No sig, and probably no golden M4. Has anyone received either of those without spending gold?

8 of my 9 diamonds were cash options (maybe 7 Gold bars total including timers)

7th was saturday at 3pm
8th sunday 5pm
9th today 12pm all cash options, i have used 5 gold bars first 2 days for timer resets
(not worth it to me to waste so early )

I managed to get the golden m4 2 days ago, all cash option, no gold, but haven't hit another diamond since...so 48 hours here too. Also getting way more "sorry, try again"...only 2 boxes open in 2 days with 20 or so attempts.

@whocares - My last at about 6pm Feb 12. - 22hrs ago.

On another note - My 12:30pm loot today gave me a fail, but left up loot option and didnt take money. I repeated. Fail msg, same thing. 3rd try - 125k and 60 minute timer.

An hour later, no such luck!!!

02-13-2012, 02:42 PM
I guess I was lucky.... sort of. I got my first 9 diamonds right off the bat, the first day. only spent 20 gold too. Now the less lucky part. I've been stuck on 9 the whole rest of the event. I wish that instead of rigging the odds, which is dishonest IMO, they should have made the diamonds drop and a even rate, but made you need many more of them for the items. They still would have made some people buy gold to get the stuff faster, but wouldn't have pissed off half the players in the process.

oh ya, i meant to actually post that in the lockbox thread so mark would see it. Makes way more sense and would get more people spending gold IMO. there were a couple times when i waited to go out or go to sleep or something because i was 5-15 minutes away from the next unlock, and wouldnt pay the 10 gold just because it was so close already. If it was 1-2 gold i'd have been much more likely to.

Send in a ticket to our support guys and they'll refund you for that. Making a mistake like that sucks. Make sure to reference this thread.

I had a ticket closed recently regarding loot. It was quite pleased with how it was resolved. Not only was it answered on a Sunday, but I was compensated for my losses. Well done, Funzio. You guys turned my frown upside down.

From 9 to 10 took i'd guess 18-20 attempts, with 6-8 successful opens. I didnt notice anything different about the drops during this gap or the other gaps i experienced. With all of the different variables im sure they have in place with something like this, theres going to be huge variations in what people experience.

This "event" is basically just a fast paced version of the entire game. Everyone is experiencing the same thing as we've all experienced with farming and pvp drops and literally everything in this game. Its all just bunched up into a 1 week period and its driving people insane.

Funzio is just capitalizing on our greed and desire to win, its natural and they're great at it :) I'm pretty happy i got the sig early, as i'd planned on spending gold repeatedly to speed up the 1 hour cooldown in the last hour or two of the game.

I'd guess that their expectation would be around 75% of very active players will get the sig without gold, maybe im overly optimistic there tho.

Man it's so hard to tell what's going on with all of this. If you listen to the majority of reports, it definitely seems as though the success ratio in getting diamonds from opened boxes goes drastically down after getting 7 or 8 diamonds. However, I've seen one guy who had 7, then in his next 3 attempts (without using gold), successfully unlocked boxes WITH diamonds in each, to get his sig. I've also talked to people who have had anywhere from 6-9 diamonds and say they've either had a really hard time unlocking boxes period, or have been unlocking them but just getting useless items for the most part. That seems more common.

One thing I'm pretty convinced of now though, is that using gold to unlock boxes does not at all increase the chance of there actually being a diamond in that box. That's not something I've picked up on through personal experience, but something I've basically gathered by talking to a lot of people who have spent gold to unlock boxes.

I wouldn't say the gold makes it more likely to get a diamond either, by all accounts it literally "extends" the period over non-gold users i.e. using 100 gold to get successful unlocks buys you about 6 hours that would've been spent on unsuccessful attempts, if you use it to reset timers & open it would buy you about 8 (5 extra hours plus 3 from not wasting time on unsuccessful attempts)

I got my 10th diamond from my 54th opened lockbox yesterday night. Getting number 9 was hard (about 25 boxes) and I already thought I won't be able to get the sig in time. However, the final diamond appeared only 3 boxes laters (with 5 tries on cash option). To my impression later diamond are harder to get but there is quite a big variance in the drops. Guess, one needs a bit of luck towards the end.

I have 59 lockboxes right now. I was able to get 9 diamonds within the first 2 days....and have been opening about 15 a day to get to 10. Wouldn't be surprised if i don't make 10. They are trying to get people to buy gold to guarantee the last box. @#$%
