I've accumulated 7 boxes that I need to open before this party is over! I've gotten a Sandhill Sniper and 2 supply frigates from theses dang boxes. Brought my pad to work and have been trying to open every hour! 3 Tits so far thats about it with 3 producing weapons/infantry. Funny thing is I've been getting alot of supply boxes just farming my amphibious trooper!

same here on the farming the amphibious trooper, seem to get a ton of boxes that way compared to pvp, and i'm a pretty veracious pvp guy. lol take a look at my wall and look at the one stream of messages I got from "hellyer1", guy got so pissed. its semi funny.

I wonder if the type of boxes u get hv any weight on the successful rate of opening them. Like if u do low level of missions to farm the boxes, will it be easier, harder or doesnt make any diff compared to the boxes u got frm higher lvl of missions or pvp.

I wondered the same at one point... wouldn't make much sense to me though, because you have no idea where a pvp loot box came from if you are attempting to potentially control possible control content quality via farming location???
Still think it a slot machine w/more of a fixed element of chance. If there is a factor that contributes to a higher probablity rate, IMHO it's tied to the expenditure of energy & stamina as Boomer stated in the event announcement sticky.

This is for the next box events as this one is too late fr plyrs to do anythng. So come next events, i might just concentrate on doing just one approach to get the boxes rather thn doing everythng if indeed it has any weight on the opening succesful rate

No, not funny. The "Limited Editions Box" that pops up doesn't have a confirmation page for purchase and I was so tired I rubbed my finger on it, good thing it wasn't the plane for 900. That's what sucks about having gold, you have to be super careful. On crime city, I've opened up like 3 emeralds in a row, yet I can't open a damn titanium bar for anything...
I hear that, I've accidentally bought more energy several times...funzio fixed for me though.
I already have 5 emeralds on CC...stuck on 8 Titanium bars! I still have hope to score the Armed Infirmary...looks like another long night ahead of me.
Loot thus far...
8 titanium bars
3 Military Police Trucks
4 Typhoon Tigers (lost 1 in battle)
5 $250,000
5 $1,250,000
5 Supply Frigates
4 500 valor

I have 4 Emeralds on Crime City now. No problem getting them on there, so why here! I know I am going to have to resort to gold, but I'm afraid what if I spend like 1000 and still don't have it. That would be so messed up.

I know, the thought of paying 15 gold bars for an ally, 500valor, of another supply frigate really pains me. I'm sitting on 500, trying to hold back and see what happens tonight. I'm willing to give it a try; are u resetting timers too?

No I did once, 9 times straight, when I was going through an "angry phase" like two days ago. :p
I spent like 300 gold and only one bar, and it was the very last. I don't mind spending a little gold, but seriously what if somebody spends thousands and don't win it because the "luck machine" won't allow it. Wish there was better chances. It's not really fair that some got it for free, and other's are ACTUALLY paying for it and still can't get it.

I have 500 gold on reserve, but I hope to get lucky tonight. But, It's not like I've been overly lucky so far. One stroke of luck, I landed the Hind MI-24 200a 170d from the war crates. Maybe that's a sign of future good fortune?

I haven't even been lucky on that. I tried the 3 crate one like 8 times and only recieved the hill fighter once, no other rare item. Just one, and got like 9 of everything else. I have been opening boxes pretty good today, but still no bars.

The luck of the draw turns out strange sometimes. I keep getting the bleeping Pirate Gunner...have 8 already!!!! Only one I'm missing though is the Chariot Tank. If I get lucky on the supply boxes, I'll buy more war crates; otherwise, I'll spend trying to get armed infirmary. However, I fear that my lead to serious frustration, if I don't get the dang thing!

Agreed...clearly, you chances of landing a T-bar are not increased by the gold purchase; it's really a factor of opportunity and allowing for more opportunities. Or, you could always set your clock to wake up every hour on the hour, until titanium or bust!

Ok, been irritated all day! So after not getting a bar in three days including today, I tried with gold again and first try got my 9th bar. Tried gold the next couple of hours and still no bar. So just now tried again and still no bar, got angry reset the timer, and retried. Repeated 5 or 6 times before getting my 10th bar! About damn time! Had to use gold but not that much like I was worried about.

Thanks. Yeah didn't PLAN on using gold but wanted the unit and to be able to sleep. But the other day I did a few resets and gold opens and only won my 8th bar then. Honestly, I would say about 450 gold. You still have 48 hours left to try with cash. But like earlier I opened my 9th bar on my first gold open today. I guess in a way 450 isn't bad considering I am getting 4 indestrucible units.
Anyways good luck Luke. What bar you sitting on now?

03-15-2012, 10:59 PM
But again I reset timers. If you started using gold soon, and just let the clock count down, you will probably get it with less gold.

I have 8 bars and 11 unopened boxes. Rusty knife hasn't worked 9 times now. Maybe funzio would do this, maybe they wouldn't, but if they set this up so that boxes open less when your near the end... It would be a cheap way of getting people to spend their own money.
I've gone from level 31 to level 40 during this contest. I don't really want to do any more leveling up. Yesterday, someone stole $2 million + from me.

Congrats WP, and thanks for your help on my other post/problem last week. As far as this "contest" goes, I had pretty good luck with my first few bars, then went a full day with zero luck on knife opens. I got frustrated and started spending gold every time. I am currently sitting at 7 bars, with 168 unopened boxes. Have not gotten a titanium bar in at least 25-30 opens. I am afraid that I will wind up being that player you mentioned that spends thousands of gold and still doesn't get the unit.

Yeah, I felt that's who I was going to be too. Give it a rest between gold opens, and try a few times with medium then go back to gold. Luke and I both managed to get a bar on our first gold attempt of the day that way. If that don't work, I would just say use gold to open, but let the clock count down, rather than reseting the timer. Good luck.

I just got another 500 valor for the gold...let me tell you how happy that makes me!! So, in order to boost my morale I cruised on over to the war crates. Pulled the trigger and wham...another Hind MI 24...whoo hooo! At least something is going right, certainly not this contest. Haven't pulled a Tbar since 5:00AM Thursday and I have been clocking every hour on hour, except for a few hours of sleep.

Hope you get it man.. I just dont see me gettin 2 bars in one day let alone the last 2! But you never know maybe the luck of the Irish will help :)
I managed to get 9 out of 10 bars in 8 days. It turned out that I found a bar in every 5 box I opened. Today, 11 hours before deadline I havent been able to find the last bar number 10 after opening 19 boxes in a row. The case is that the last item - so desired by many- wont be given away if you don't pay real money for resetting and opening the boxes. Big scam !!! I got 9 bars after opening just 43-45 boxes but I can't find the last one after I opened almost 20!!!
This is just a fking scam! Immagine how many did they earn from this event!!
For a unit useful for everyone!!
Yes it is. They can trick you just once it wont work next time Next promotion will be a complete failure!
I'm just pissed of this game, but one above millions of players, who cares?!

What's funny is ever since I won all 10 bars, I have been opening boxes with my bare hands for the extra loot, and I now pretty much open it everytime. Open it more than I did with the rusty knife before the 10 bars.

War Priest What is your level?
The rate for Titanium Bar drops is gradually reduced as your total number of Titanium Bars increases. This never becomes a 0 or below-0 number.-0 number.
It is stated in the official thread.
It's not impossible to get 10 bars (War Priest and Mcdoc got them), but using gold doesn't guarantee you getting them.

I suspect not all supply boxes give u T-bar. Only the mission bosses and certain mission give the bars.
I noticed if PVE, the opened boxes are usually $$$. PVP is Valor. Oil ref mission - Captain gave me at least 4 - 5 bars. I got my 10th bar from Naval battle, boat at the bottom (370x2).
Good luck to all. Tested PVE n PVP, cannot really tell the difference in casualty.
Btw, would Funzio consider retaining the description for 20% lesser casualty for the 10bar unit. It was a really tough unit to get. *lots of sweat n sleepless nights*

7 tries left.. 2 bars to go still... Not gonna happen... Far as I'm concerned funzio can take a hike.. Used gold for 2 days now not one bar.. But I well not like I dropped over 100 bucks in this game.. Good luck to everybody else.
Sorry man. Use the rest of your gold on some limited editions.

3 days straight stuck at 8 bars. Had anyone been able to make it without using gold?

Why are these boxes only yielding lame loot today? I have used the torch 10x's today, as I anguish at 9 t-bars, each and every time...500 valor. WTF? I can get that pretty easily by attacking; why are there no $1,250,000 prizes dropping? Or some decent units, that can't be obtained otherwise. I find it extremely irritating to use the gold and get that, or even worse an ally. Seems like Funzio must gave already given away all the Tbars and decent loot!!

Still opening boxes after my 10th since I have 254 more boxes. Be weird if I got a TB - but so far I have gotten 1.25 million twice since my 10th bar. That bought me 4 more Ospey's :)
Good Luck to those still trying for 10! May the luck of the Irish be with you on this St Pat's Day.

The whole event I have never won more than $500K or more than 500 valor.

You can't get more than 10 bars. They stop dropping once you get to ten. But yeah, the players still trying to get bars would be so angry at you. :p

I know, it's really annoying to waste all the gold in such a manner. After getting jacked 10 consecutive times, I'm considering abandoning the tought of winning this unit by using gold. I have 150 gold bars left and 3 war crates sounds a hell of a lot more gratifying than getting more valor, or another ally!! Maybe I'll find some good fortune and get it with the ole rusty shank!

I don't think it matters how you got the box as to what is inside...
Maybe. But I followed a posted by another guy on leftover supply box, done the mission for naval base (only unopened box) and used the gold to open. Dink!! I got my last bar. Just sharing some info of what I learnt and hopefully it helps the others. Time is short, act fast!!!

McDoc:
How did you end up with 254 boxes? Or did you refill your energy w gold? Just curious as I have worked pretty diligently at this and only got about 37 or so boxes, total. Wasted a lot of energy and time on pve and, like many, notched up 4 levels while I was at it.....

He probably got them from pvp. As I recall mc doc has like 25 Stam.
Thanks Luke, I found that it seemed the only PVP that paid off was if the Rivals had boxes.... Learned something for next time, maybe?
It is stated in the official thread.
It's not impossible to get 10 bars (War Priest and Mcdoc got them), but using gold doesn't guarantee you getting them.
Nobody said it was impossible. What official thread? On web site? What about players who do no visit website but play the game - they shouldn't be informed?
War Priest and others got the 10 bar because they spent real money. War Priest is lv54 and he got 10, iam lv80 and I didnt manage to find the bar number 10. I opened 22 boxes after I found the bar 9 - none of those 22 had the 10th bar.
This promotion is about tricking you into spending real money, which means its a scam.

500 valor is a much better prize than $1,250,000 million. The super hornet is worth over 3 mil and costs 350 valor. I'd take the valor over the cash any day. I can get $$$ without gaining experience - not valor.

I don't know why you are surprised that this event is an income revenue for the developers. All online games makes money one way or another, does that mean all of them are scams...?
You are not being forced to spend money, and you were told that using gold doesn't guarantee a bar. You know the odds and you took the risk voluntarily.

I agree, but it is frustrating. You can spend a lot of time and money on this event and end up with nada. Nobody forced us to participate, but a lot of us wish we hadnt. If you went full speed and didn't get the unit, it is upsetting.
I didn't spend any of my own money on this event, so I'm better off then a lot of guys, but I'm still frustrated. I could have sat at level 30 with the best stats in my level. I don't think I'll participate in the next event.

I got your point but I disagree. First off, I more annoyed rather than surprised. It's not the fact that they make money it's about how they do it. When you go to any shop you pay for an item and get what you paid for. This promotion was NOT about game and gold(pay to get) but more about gambling: casino style box opening with no guarantee and no warning. I was NOT told that gold did not guarantee a bar, and I didn't hear about odds as many other players who didn't visit this forum.
Anyway, even chances were not a random variable/probability: many of us found a bar at first time opening the first ever box. What are the odds of this happening to so many players? No odds just a specific algorithm. Had they told that there are just 1000(2000,3000,4000) players only who'd get the las bar number 9 and 10, the players would know WHAT they risk and WHAT they can expect. Or
Look guys , three units are easy, the last one wont be given easily There was not a fixed ammount of boxes you had to open, but time
Limit There's a scam.
The developers make money by offering new features and more options to players that require a player to pay.
When you are forced to spend money it's extortion not scam.
How could I know that the promotion was an income revenue? They didn't put the price on the last unit!
