I haven't counted exactly but I've gotten at least 20 and the first 10 seemed to be
The items in the pictures but, now I'm getting a lot of money or respect and even
Other weapons. I'm up to 8 now. The amount of gold I've used is probably near 1000.
Soooo nothing worth bragging about. I'm just a dumb young guy.

All fails. I will not get it. Easy math. I see many other ways to effectively do this event. Whilst maintaining security for gold potential and not severely imbalancing the game over time. You have to be subtle with your forwards moves funzio. Your going to run yourself into a bad reputation that won't go away.

Alright CC badass. Take a stab at this question similar to what I'm asking, but from dudeman on another thread:

Question regarding the 20% better job payouts:

To which job rewards does this modifier apply?
A) Cash only?
B) Cash and XP?
C) Loot drop rates?
D) A and C?
E) B and C?

I'll be waiting for your answer while you have a stupid look on your face wondering if you really are a CC god. Thanks in advance.

I got one controband and two armor items from 4 bossbags, with about three to four fails. But to me, it is so hard to find bossbags! I tried using up all my energy and stamina and only received four. Three from farming rusty m4a1s (it seems I got more rifles than bossbags...) and one from PVP (Almost nothing dropped when I keep attacking people).

I believe such event is a disaster for campers. You will lose nice items if you don't participate, and you'll level up so quickly if you do.

For those who have more than 4 contrabands right now or are very lucky in the begining (like 4 out of 6 medium-chance opens are contrabands), did you invest RM in the last event? It is hard to explain if it is totally random. It might be a compensation event.

Stopped keeping track of individual opens after that.

Now up to 40(!) unopened bags. Made it to 9 contraband with three days to go. Did one ffree open attempt by accident, spent gold on one right after the 9th contraband, just for lols. Got a handful of semi-useful melee items, and $30000 once. When I got the $30K I had two minutes to an upgrade transition so I decided to take a chance and hold onto it... had half of it left by the time the upgrade popped. :-P

Some guys would be considered extremely lucky if that happened in the diamond/wallsafe event. Paulio received 4x contraband and 500 RP in the first 6 opens. Similar for dudeman. Likewhoaa had 5x contraband out of 7 sucessful opens in just 13 attempts. I doubt if the opening chance is the same for each player.

This event sucks compared to Emerald Burner and what MW current event is,
20% faster upgrade times. I dont play MW but that would entice me...
Thats all .

To early to conclude the current event worst then wall safe event. 1 day just pass(event time) your 3 is contraband is good for the start on end of 1st day. I recall during the wall safe event i only have 2 emerald at the 1st day.

Had around 26 attempts.

Got 5 Contrabands and the Deviant Rifle.
Gained in addition:
1 pimps low rider
1 fish gutter
3 skull shotguns

Spent around $350k in game money, all opens with $$$

For me, I am over the moon. The car alone for similar stats is worth around $12 million in game cash

For all the people whinging, be happy that you can add such value so cheaply without spending gold.

To all the gold spenders, I really hope you get the final prize and all the good drops.

Agreed, I think the weapons the should be the same across all levels as at some stage you will be leveling up to the higher levels. If the overall game play is for players to be in for the long term then equal drops in the events makes sense.

dont know whats more fun atm, successfully open a bag or beeing robbed an hour be4 i can collect. many hoods to find which are lootable coz they can collect it in approx an hour. bags drop like flys so definatly more fun then in the burner event where many gold spenders felt ripped off. if this event was ment to let the crowd calm down it might create another anger :O

oh yes, got 5 so far with money option so im quite happy with the progress so far

Trying but it much harder getting the bags opened on the barehand method out of 14 tries not once got an opening.

This event has been pretty fun (from a teenage perspective). I've gotten 2 CB's by using the free method. 1 CB, $20k, Police Armor, and 300x RP from medium option. If it keeps up like this, maybe I can get 7. Or maybe not, I'm only doing free options from now on because I'm not too interested in this event. Good luck to all who are trying for the 10x reward!

I wish I was. Still stuck at 3 here, diligently using the medium option every hour. Bad luck aside, I really wish there was some way to make events better catered to people's own time tables. I personally find 12 hour timers tedious but having to "babysit" the game every hour is getting old quick. I feel if I don't, however, I'll likely miss out on the only loot that can push me farther in the game. Please consider some option that better accommodates schedules that doesn't include gold.. Like the longer you wait, the better chance you have of opening something. Its easy to justify the hourly ritual once in a blue moon but with events going off all the time... I feel like I'm going to burn out pretty quick. I realize gold is always an option but I hit my hard limit a while back so that's not an option for me.

Not sure this will helps?

I have collected these Contrabands at these interval,
1 contraband ,average 1-2 (successful attempts, rusty scissors)
2 contraband ,average 1-3 (successful attempts, rusty scissors)
3 contraband ,average 3-5 (successful attempts, rusty scissors)
4 contraband , average 5-7 (successful attempts, rusty scissors)
5 contraband , average 5-10 (successful attempts, rusty scissors)
6 contraband ,average 8-14 (successful attempts, rusty scissors)
7 contraband ,average 10-15 (successful attempts, rusty scissors)
8 contraband contrabands, average bag open is ard 18-25. (successful attempts, sharp knife)
9 contraband is 6 (successful attempts, sharp knife)
10 contraband is 13 (successful attempts, 6 rusty scissors and 7 sharp knife)


1168

Doing jobs that requires 120+ energy, 50% drop boss bag(boardwalk, shooting gallery)
Doing jobs that requires 250+ energy, 65% drop boss bag(red light district, Mini Mart)
Doing jobs that requires 320+ energy, 75% drop boss bag(red light district, Sue Pine)
Doing jobs that requires 400+ energy, 90% drop boss bag(red light district, Motel)

1 to 7 is fairly easy, not to hard at all compare to previous wall safe event.
droprate for boss bag is decently good. Try not to spend gold from 1-7.
the last 3s are the luck issues.

Was determined not to buy gold however so far not doing great using cash option and sometimes free hit

Have 3 contrabands
1 bloody aka
1 mafia membe - whoopy s##t

No offense but your a classic case of whimpyness 1) yes I dropped today to 499. My reasons in 499 thread. I dropped as a protest against 499ers. In my rival list on average I see 5 max 500's 3 of them untouchable big boys 1 nonwiser and 1 who trying to be brave and stay tall. It looks like Funzio listening and hopefully going to do something. I agree this situation ridiculous. 2) what level you are? I presume low, because from level 130+ everything more open. For example I'm level 167 and I see everyone from 142 to 200. It's common knowledge. High levels more open.

Im with you Alice:

Current Number of Contraband: 8
Total Boss Bag Attempts: 96
Total Opens/Fails: 34/62

In fact, my luck is even much worse than yours. And I thought I was having bad luck... There is no way thta opening rates are the same for all players...

dudeman
03-28-2012, 08:38 PM
I had 86 attempts, cash option only, and I opened exactly 50% of those attempts.

So far it looks like the 20% only applies to the cash payout from jobs. XP is the same and I assume loot drop rates are unaffected as well.

Event over. Some stats to make out of this event:
1 Attempt (1 Opened) to obtain Contraband No. 1.
4 Attempts (1 Opened) to obtain Contraband No. 2.
5 Attempts (3 Opened) to obtain Contraband No. 3.
1 Attempt (1 Opened) to obtain Contraband No. 4.
3 Attempts (2 Opened) to obtain Contraband No. 5.
12 Attempts (8 Opened) to obtain Contraband No. 6.
9 Attempts (4 Opened) to obtain Contraband No. 7.
5 Attempts (2 Opened) to obtain Contraband No. 8.
101 Attempts (39 Opened) to open Boss Bags since Contraband No. 8.

Chances of opening using middle option: 43.26% (61 out of 141 tries)

Upon opening, chances of getting...
Contraband 1: 1 out of 1 (100%)
Contraband 2: 1 out of 1 (100%)
Contraband 3: 1 out of 3 (33.33%)
Contraband 4: 1 out of 1 (100%)

Contraband 6: 1 out of 8 (12.5%)
Contraband 7: 1 out of 4 (25%)
Contraband 8: 1 out of 2 (50%)
Contraband 9: 0 out of 39 (0%)

Im with you Alice:

Current Number of Contraband: 8
Total Boss Bag Attempts: 96
Total Opens/Fails: 34/62

In fact, my luck is even much worse than yours. And I thought I was having bad luck... There is no way thta opening rates are the same for all players...

I agree i am stuck at 7 , I have never had more than 7 without gold.

This isn't a very detailed run down but...

Since it started I have opened 13-15 per day and have paid 10X Level every time and have received 8 Boss Bags and got some Money, Respect, Weapons and a glowing car.

If I remember correctly I got my first 6 Boss Bags in the first 2 days and I don't think that I will make 10 buy the time it ends and the hit rate for opening Boss Bags has dropped off for me.

It's been three days and the 8th CB never came up, time to quit.

Cash opening rate also sucks, 34/92 by now

from 7-8 is the hardest to get
i took me ard 25 successful open to reach 8 CB
from 8 to 10 seem to back to 8-14 tries

For the first part I strongly agree with you, took me over 3 days from 7-8, the 8th just dropped two hours ago. Now I wish I could be as lucky as you:p

I wish that were the case for me. I started out really well; had 8 CB within the first 2 days of the event. I haven't received another one since... just been sitting...waiting...Same thing last time with the Green Piece...Which I really wanted!! The only one I got was the Diamond Crusted Gun, and I did drop money on gold...sheesh!

That really sucks. I'm not going to get as mad as I did when I missed out on the "Green Piece" the last time around. I did drop money on that to no avail. I'm at about 70k per hour and would have liked to have had the "no bank fee". Good luck waiting...feeling your pain.

omg congrats dudeman. you win we win! i'm on #8 finally, cash only. all day yesterday it was samurai knives, RP, and 125,000 cash, and 2 pimp lowrider cars. my ipad account got up to 7 so I'm happy with that. keeping fingers crossed for #9 and #10. I might stay up all night tonight, watch some movies on laptop and try to maximize open tries. IM A NERD :p

I've been stuck at 6 for three days now. I seriously doubt I'll even get one more, which would be very disappointing. I got the 7th weapon each of the first two times and that's all I'm really trying to accomplish in these events. If I go the last 4 days without getting just 1 contraband to bring me up to 7 I won't be a happy camper. Based on my results the last 3 days though, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if I don't get my 7th.

Remember that i've write(prob not) that i had 24 consecutives fails and keep having a fking bad luck, with only 4 cb after 3~4 days since the event began?

Yeah...

Now... I have 9.

After feeling extremely ripped off by the Wall Safe scam i thought Funzio had released this event to get back on good terms with their customers and made it really easy to get the contrabands. I received 4 contrabands in the first 9 Boss Bags i opened (All bags were opened using the 'Sharp Knife' kit) and 3 days and 14hrs into the event i had collected all 10 contrabands. I've currently got 82 Boss Bags and i'm using the 'Bare Hands' kit now and opening about 1 in every 5 Boss Bags.

I still feel ripped off though because i spent hundreds of dollars on the Wall Safe event because i really wanted the free bank deposits and like everyone else i got to 8 emeralds pretty quickly and then over the last 3 days of the event not a single one. Jobs paying out 20% more doesn't really benefit me because i don't really bother doing that many jobs but the green extreme van is awesome.

Level - 71
Total Mafia Attack - 13741

Well, after all my bellyaching yesterday, I finally got my 7th last night and just now got my 8th. I was actually hoping to not get anymore contraband as I know I won't get 2 more in the next 15 hours. I'd rather get 500 RP.

Funzio...you sneaky little monkeys. I sat at 6 for three days and now 7,8 and 9 come more or less right in a row. I think I've opened 5 out of 6 and 3 of the 5 were contraband. All with the cash option.

Most likely I'll end up with 9 for the third event in a row.
