i meant if you want it to blink, or scroll, or do something really cool... i.e. Flash(y)... don't actually use flash...
aaahhh, cause i-devices cannot read flash........

And in other news, after going 11 of my first 13 with "Sorry's" my last 2 in a row have been warhead's. So 2 hours changes me from a cranky pessimist, to a satisfied optimist. I'll credit Kitty for the good luck since she just added me. THANKS Hello Kitty!!

I didn't realize she was so low ally, so I really felt honored. And I think I angered Cope by shouting how cool his base was... in fact I probably shouldn't have just mentioned it again. Whoops.

Got to 6 warheads with only 2 fails. Took 18 more boxes to get to 8 warheads. Judging from the last rigged event, I figure it will take 50 more boxes and I'll still stall out at 9! But obviously I have nothing better to do......

It also seems to validate my strategy from the last CC event- basically, only ever have ONE box available to open. Yes, I have had trouble with drops, and have spent hours with no boxes, but over the course of the event, my success rate was insane. 9/10 credit cards with only 2 random prizes, only 5 or 6 "sorry's" and no gold spent. So... since I ended the last few events here sitting on over 100 unopened boxes and did not get the final prize on the 2nd event, I tried this instead. I will start using gold once I hit 7, but my approach seems to be working. Sorta. I'll keep you posted, but having 20 or 50 extra boxes doesn't seem to help. Just a thought for those of you trying not to level up too much.

1 heavy artillery (14a/9d)
1x $60,000
1x $300,000
2x 100 valor

Edit : just got another 300k and an anti air canon tank (4a/14d)
Does anyone know whether any low level player have ever got to 10 nukes/propeller in previous events?cause i'm just lvl 28 and wondering the probability of getting 10??

I did Bronson, they even went as far as sending me the log of my tries, I got the 3 part award twice on the last event, and like the 6th part twice and the 8th part twice, so effectively I should have had the 10th reward.

Yeah defo if they have the log there and can see you got 10 parts then they should put the blue whatever it is in your inventory for you

Ah yes, but according to the log the only difference was I got the the 3rd reward twice, doesn't show the other double parts.
Ah well, lets hope I manage 10 this time!

Posted to the Where are you thread....
Things I'm noticing with this event.
Last three my main player was opening boxes 1 in every 2 tries. Now they are 1 in 8 to 9 tries but with a spree of opens 4 in a row for warheads and then back to nothing for a long stretch.
My LLP is up to 6 boxes already. So here are the stats so far, all opens are using cash. Not finding a lot of loot but a lot of sorries more than I have had in the past 3 events so if this is going to slide like the last events unless you got lots on day 1 you are probably screwed by now.
Bro1 = 3 warheads L93
Bro2 = 3 warheads L89
Me = 4 warheads L140
LLP = 6 warheads L64
What I am noticing this time out is that the lower level players are getting more opens. I know my brothers stats don't seem to reflect this but they also have not been finding as many boxes so that is why my stats look better even though my open to sorry ratio is higher.
What is surprising is my LLP who is really out ahead of us all and spending a lot less per open. Have a feeling that in the past opens may have been triggered by how much cash you spent overall but this time might be something different or 'luck' factor is based more on level to give the lower level players a chance since they are also getting lower value units than the top level players.

Finally go my 3rd warhead but the rest are sorry. I'm pretty sure I'm screwed now. Only 3 nukes so far. My LLP isn't really playing because I can't connect my iPad to the wifi at work. Sucks because if what OA is saying is true, that's where my best opportunity was to get 10 nukes. Oh well same old events same old results.

04-25-2012, 08:00 AM
4 nukes now. Debating the usefulness of the bonus unit. Sure the stats are nice, but at my level (34) and with my economy (~50k/hr) I don't really use energy that much. Trying not to level actually.
Funny thing, sometimes my Internet connection lags a bit when I press the nuke box to open the event page. If I press it again (impatient me does frequently) I invariably end up pressing on the "open with hands" button. Other events I have gotten nothing from that, as the odds suck. However, this event I have done this twice (yeah yeah, I am a slow learner) but have gotten a nuke from one of those!
I have been camping the free gold pages like mad and have a little saved. If I can get to 7 or 8 boxes with cash only before the last 24 hrs I might try for 10. I was able to get one top level event unit previously, silent drifter, and did it spending much less gold than i would have on a store unit with similar Atk/Def. Any advice on a good threshold for go/no-go on events? Cost-benefit analysis conducted over multiple accounts?

Wohoo I got 3 out 4 opens, 2 more warheads,
I have 5 warheads now!
I am seriously beginning to wonder if any of the geek developers who created this game have ever actually played modern war. I skipped the last rewards game because my money was wasted on the previous one, i naively believed imwould have a chance to win something and all i did was waste my money.
But I decided to try the warheads reward game, but will no longer participate when the geeks punished me by rewarding me with an ally when I opened a case.
Obviously the people in charge of choosing the rewards have never played this game. Many times additional allies will do you more harm than good and anyone who has played this game for a few weeks would realize that. An additional ally was a punishment not a reward so I am out of the nuclear warhead game.
Luke7676
04-25-2012, 08:43 AM
Unless you have a really low ally count it really isn't all that bad, since you can just delete some random.. But I do understand the frustration with getting a grunt in the box. Only seen one person who liked them so far and that's now WP just because there is no in game sort feature or search for allies.. So it makes it easier for him to find rl allies from the forums. But they are just a waste to me and a lot of others. We really need the option to delete them..
As far as the devs go... I'm sure they play their own game.. I mean who wouldn't play their own creation.. And we are just as much geeks as they are :)

Well, that is my point if the devs actually played the game, they would know that rewarding someone with a grunt in most instances is a punishment, not a reward. The fact that someone actually thinks a grunt is a reward for opening a case tells me that individual has never play MW. It would be better to have rewarded me with nothing ....

My second complaint is this: If you want to become cannon fodder in this game follow the goals set out by MW. Those goals will set you up to fail.
Like I said, it seems like the devs have never played this game. I don't think some of them actually understand how this game works.
The only thing that has helped me is this forum....

Mad every game has its evolution - I think the ideas of goals/quests were sound, but they were fine tuning the balance. Thats why they have 3 games, which I think, have different balances in the various areas. They are seeing what works and what doesn't work.
I think they know these issues. THe value of each type of goal/quest/strategy is in the eye of the beholder - some people value each area differently depending their objective (e.g., valor, income, etc, strength to level).

Don't know the cost benefit analysis, however I know of one chap who spent 3,000 gold trying to get the last item....and failed. Odds may have changed this time, it's harder now to get parts it seems early, maybe it'll be easier to get ten if you've got nine now... If you're at 7-8 I'd say forget it and save your gold for a composites factory or something useful like units or crates

I've been silently reading through these forums for a while, and now I thought I should register and comment on my experience with this event. I've been playing mw for about a couple of weeks now, and when the last event happened I was completely clueless as to what was going on. This event - slightly different :)
I've got 16 boxes and here are my stats:
9 Warheads so far - Loving the units
2 100 valor boxes
2 explosives experts
1 300k box
Either 3 or 4 Better blah blah blah
Got 13 boxes from PvE, 3 from PvP
All cash opens
2 boxes left to open! Wish me luck, I want that jet by tonight :D
This event has been a godsend for me to be honest. I just reached level 26 and I was pretty clueless about what direction to follow. This gives me some leeway to improve my economy and play PvP at the same time(non-gold unfortunately).

Unless you're filthy rich or have more money than sense, I would highly recommend not spending any gold on these events, regardless of where that gold came from.
If you must spend gold for imaginary items, you're way better off spending gold on limited edition units or crates because if you spend gold on these events, it's a statistical certainty that you will eventually waste a ton of money for absolutely nothing, and I mean everyone (yes that means you and you).
Like any gambling event, the odds are always in favor of the house. You may win in the short run, but if you keep doing it, you're going to lose.
I doubt the odds have changed much over the span of these events. They may have slighly fiddled with the percentages from game-to-game, but the "feeling" of variances that people report over any single event aren't really conducive to what the real percentages may be.
Bottom line, don't spend gold on events; it's a stupid bet.
Don't know the cost benefit analysis, however I know of one chap who spent 3,000 gold trying to get the last item....and failed. Odds may have changed this time, it's harder now to get parts it seems early, maybe it'll be easier to get ten if you've got nine now... If you're at 7-8 I'd say forget it and save your gold for a composites factory or something useful like units or crates

@possum, well written post, I agree completely. I'd say it takes a hand on the stove to feel the consequences though, and burned hands there were plenty of last few events. Players have learned...

Still sitting on 9 warheads. I would like to know the odds of success once you reach this point. 8 blanks in a row now with 21 boxes on hand. What are my chances? Based on the last event I don't like my chances, but we'll see how it goes...

Up to 7 now. Have yet to buy gold for this game and dont intend to. Im skeptical to say the least about my chances at opening 3 more cases in 4 days after opening 7 in 1.
At last we get the lower level indestructible units as well as the points to buy valor units.
I should figure out how much cash Ive spent on the units Ive gotten so far and see if the ROI is worth the 'effort'.

10 warheads = Covert Jet Fighter. Done deal. Next? What do I do with the 22 extra boxes?
I must say, I was pretty pessimistic after the last event fiasco, but can verify that this one can be done. I had a tougher time getting to 8 & 9 than I did 10, only 9 tries to get the last one. It does certainly seem that your odds do go down the closer you get to #10 though. It will be interesting to see how fast the energy meter fills up now...
I also think I will donate my remaining 22 boxes to charity...

I used gold for opening the crates. I reset the timer as necessary until I got to #8, didn't want to lose any boxes along the way. At that point, I had plenty of crates, so I just opened 1 every hour with gold.

9 is not as bad of a place to be as it was in the last event. I suppose it could be, but after opening 9 boxes I got #10, so at least I can verify it can be done. Good luck, energy goes up +5 every minute when you get there...

I sent freakzih a ally request
Just got #7! Missed my 1 hr mark by about 35 minutes but it came thru! I also see numerous rivals with the BS chopper, close to 60 -70%
Posted to the Where are you thread....
Things I'm noticing with this event.
Last three my main player was opening boxes 1 in every 2 tries. Now they are 1 in 8 to 9 tries but with a spree of opens 4 in a row for warheads and then back to nothing for a long stretch.
My LLP is up to 6 boxes already. So here are the stats so far, all opens are using cash. Not finding a lot of loot but a lot of sorries more than I have had in the past 3 events so if this is going to slide like the last events unless you got lots on day 1 you are probably screwed by now.
Bro1 = 3 warheads L93
Bro2 = 3 warheads L89
Me = 4 warheads L140
LLP = 6 warheads L64
What I am noticing this time out is that the lower level players are getting more opens. I know my brothers stats don't seem to reflect this but they also have not been finding as many boxes so that is why my stats look better even though my open to sorry ratio is higher.
What is surprising is my LLP who is really out ahead of us all and spending a lot less per open. Have a feeling that in the past opens may have been triggered by how much cash you spent overall but this time might be something different or 'luck' factor is based more on level to give the lower level players a chance since they are also getting lower value units than the top level players.
really hoping that your theory is right there AO, because I'm still at 29 now, and just got my 7th...the best so far...
looking good, and if I ever get 10, I'll be whoopin those gold player's ass that have been attacking me...

I am still waiting, too. And seeing them on almost every player I attack. Sorta frustrating, but I can wait until after the event to send a ticket. I also don't think I ever got my 9-bar prize from the last event yet either.

I'm in exactly the same spot with this event as I always seem to get to. I always use the middle option in terms of opening things. I'm sitting at 8 after a couple of days and I expect I'll still be sitting at 8 as the event ends, hit nine once with less than an hour to go but apart from that it always seems to be 8 for me. Even tried a hit a 4am to no avail when my wife woke me on her way to the toilet, not doing that again, you get verbal abuse at home for that!

Woke up at three am to take a poop and got number 8...lol. You are reading my mind. However I fully expect to get number nine before the real racketeering begins.I also always use the middle option. I am already beginning to get the other bonuses from the cases Ive accumulated, which were no where to be found yesterday.
Couldnt miss w/ warheads last two days....I know the drill now.

Btw for anyone who's interested, the 65% faster recharge rate doesn't mean it takes fewer seconds to recharge, it means that it recharges 5 units at at time rather than 3

Look at it this way, it's better to get a sorry than a loot item or cash. Well that is how I take it. If you get a sorry you get to keep your box, if you get loot, it is pretty much a wasted box and will require more ranking up to get more boxes.
3 Nukes = one assault helicopter
16 sorry's for $560k
one weapons expert which i lost in a attack looking for more boxes :)
100 valor, ok but not great
I love how i get messages that say i have a box ready to be opened when i don't have any, and can't find enough. Attacking and Raiding isn't working for me but some guy sure knocked off $250k of mine last night and my only box :( i was working on that one fore 4 hours.
I wish the vault would take less time to upgrade at my level $250 - $500k. Way too long!!

Just a FYI to my peeps. I had 8 nukes yesterday (2nd day) and no luck yet thus far after that. I imagine I'll get to 9, but I have never been lucky enough to get to 10 yet in events. I always use the medium option. It is 118K a pop for me now.

Worse than the extra allies? At least the AV are easy to get rid of

3 Nukes = one assault helicopter
16 sorry's for $560k
one weapons expert which i lost in a attack looking for more boxes :)
100 valor, ok but not great
I love how i get messages that say i have a box ready to be opened when i don't have any, and can't find enough. Attacking and Raiding isn't working for me but some guy sure knocked off $250k of mine last night and my only box :( i was working on that one fore 4 hours.
I wish the vault would take less time to upgrade at my level $250 - $500k. Way too long!!
CheersFYI the stronger and higher level you get the boxes come much more easily. Cost of course increase per level (level*1000). You must be L35. I'm L118 and was 117 when event started, so with my 21 fails I've spent approx 2.5 mil on just failed my 21 failed opens. Events aren't cheap.
I can't wave off the boxes with a stick. I get way more than peopel steal from me or can open before a event ends. In past events I've alwasy had 200-300 extra unopened boxes at teh end. I use the medium option always and never made 10 in any event yet.
The drop rate of a box in pve is related to how much you spend. You can get drops from missions thate only require 15 energy but are more likely in the 200-400 range. Once you unlock the naval battle the adv destroyer there is 370*2 with a good cash payout too. When I was hitting that in past events I had about a 30-50% chance of a drop. After the first few days you should be able to get them in pvp, but never try starting that way.

Not really playing along much due to being 'out' of pvp for a while due to an issue funzio are loooking into (no cash or valour is dropping from raids/attacks :( ) but been doing a fair bit of pve and have hardly received any boxes. Managed 3 warheads and two cash prizes from about 15 attempts to open the five boxes i've found.
not even managed a grunt and i'd welcome a couple at the moment!

Wow, the units we get are different, maybe based on leveling...the ultimate unit that i can earn only have 200A/134D compared to you...but for my current lvl of 29, it's already a pretty great unit to have...

If you are close to the next level of prizes, I say it is definitely worth it. But I wouldn't chase an extra 15 levels to get a better prize.

Thanks for the encouragement. Just got my 5th one.
BTW, I normally PVE for these events but this time, I have an ATM where I can go steal boxes. Not sure why the player attack me as we both are pretty close in term of stat. I end up buying some SH and go steal back my box back plus some. Boxes are precious to me as I only keep one to two in inventory.

Jp, could you tell me what is the level range for this prizes?where could we see them??
I know something like this happens, but for kamal, dont feel bad bro..eventhough the stat are lower, but for our level, it is still the best unit you could get..an additional 200A to my stat will be much appreciated...
I think this is done on purpose by funzio to maintain the balance of power in your level range....

Lol, 3 warheads so far. Although I haven't been trying vary hard. I use to attempt eight to ten opens per day during previous events with less than half actually opening. This event, my attempts have plummeted to four or five with way less than half actually opening so I guess it's not unexpected.
Meh, my general motivation is waning because I know the odds for the most part. Really don't care about the freebie indestructible units much anymore either, although I'll keep trying if I decide to log in.

Same here. Sitting on 8 with nothing but Sorries and Allies today. I'd be happy with anything else...nukes, valor or cash only please.
After a whack of sorry's and units that quickly get lost, I finally hit..... 9! Nukes!
Still sitting on 8 boxes and over 3 days to go, but I'm not holding my breath for #10, but I'm pretty happy with this one since I'm UK.
I haven't kept more than a dozen or so on hand and almost all with the middle button, used some tjoy for a box yesterday, since they aren't giving up any more gold now and had 16 left.
Hope y'all have similar luck!

The blue box event had me sitting on 8 for almost 5 days until it ended and I didn't even get the 9th (with 40+ successful opens after my 8th). In the last event (cargo box) I had 30 successful opens after my 8th and fortunately got the last 2 plane parts within those opens - it took about 3 days after my 8th. I don't know if I can also get to 10 this time.

After landing the eight item, I did not get another item out of 65 tries.
In the 20% upgrade time discount promo, I opened roughly 200 total cases after having 8 in the first two days. Dropped a ton of in the process. Landed #10 with 45 minutes left in the promo and was sitting on another 50 unopened cases.
Playing this one free and all future promos, if I don't go tilt again. The energy bonus doesn't offer much interest, but the unit is cool.

Damn Cope that's a lot of $$$ spent. I am up to 9 but after that post I'm not to expectant on 10
I don't know what kind of figures i've had but I got the 9 th nuke, 3 heavy artillery, 2 expert whatevers, 60K x 4 , 300k x 2 and about 100 sorry....(just seems like it) which are obviously no opens. And I have 11 boxes in hand for a total of 31.
The most I have had on hand is 12, sometimes as little as 1 but average about 5 or 6, oh yeah, 100 valor x 1I would rather have the valor than the disappearing units or the cash.
I did similar in the past 2 events and I never collected more than 50 or 60 total, got 10 and 9 respectively.
