Probably not enough people spending gold on these bullish!t gacha events anymore, so Conzio did what they always do when they feel a change is in order... They brought out the nerf gun for box events.

37 consecutive fails is terrible. And I thought my luck was bad! My fail streaks usually last about 8-14 fails, then one or two will open, and then right back to fail streak. The ones that do open might as well have a garbage bag decoration inside :rolleyes:

Question, did you download the new version of Crime City yet?

I'm wondering if there's a glitch either with the new version or without the new version.

Don't bother with the gold...hate to admit it publicly, but I dropped cash on a vault of 1500 gold and fast-opened 50 consecutive crates only to STILL be stuck on friggin' EIGHT! Didn't get a single extra tire and can't even explain how frustrating it was. Heard from a number of people that spent just a few hundred gold to knock out number 10 so I guess sometimes its just not meant to me. I'm fully aware that even when using gold it guarantees nothing, but that's insanely frustrating. Guess they don't want my money in the future, and this is certainly the straw that broke the golden camels back for me. IF I ever use gold again for anything on here (which is highly doubtful at this point), it won't be to try and reach 10 in any event. :-( maybe I just wouldn't look good driving a purple pimpmobile...who knows.

Man that sucks. :(
I'm on 8 out of 10 too...

Yeah man, it's was pretty pathetic to say the least. Good news is my buddy Brooklyn boy just used gold and went back to back tires to go from 8 to 10 in a matter of seconds. Crazy how these just give to some and not to others. I had 72 boxes when I started opening, so I nearly burned through them all and for what? So I could have 25 more enhanced bikes and carnival hammers....lmao gotta love Funzio!

That's garbage....must be...a funzio "medium" chance, which is a chance greater than 0? Like .20 after day 3?

Stuck at 7. Oh darn. I totally wasn't expecting this to happen; even though it's happened the last 4 events... Pshhhh.

You have to be a "medium" (psychic) to have a chance. :p

Past two days all fail for me and then 5 minutes ago tire #8! Now to be stuck on 8 for next 24 hours til event ends

As a cash opener, I'll be happy if I can get to to 9 before the even ends... got so many boxes... so little time...

I had a nice 8 fail streak with medium chances, then got 8 last night...today has been a 50% open rate, but basically all garbage...

Dear Conzio,

When you change the event box loot (in September), please change all "Better Luck Next Time" opens to a free garbage bag decoration. This way all players will at least receive something for all the time wasted playing your bullish!t scam of an event.

Thanks

It's all about probability. The probability of opening a Tire is the same for everyone, so in theory, for every back to back tire open, unfortunately there is someone on the other end of that statistic. If you don't buy gold, you will never feel slighted.

Lots of fails hear as well, way more then usual. I've noticed the fail rate went up 2 event ago, at least it did for me. Then this event is just horrible, fail after fail and been stuck on 7 for almost 3 days.
I'm not keeping track, but I'm gonna start just to see how bad it is, so I have the numbers in front of me.
I know I've only had 2 open out of 30 attempts these past 2 days, very weak!!!!

Not true at all. Gold is a substitute for time, so those who don't buy gold just waste an ass load of time.

I don't mind wasting my own time, but when someone else is wasting my time that makes them a fcuking *******.

Open boxes aren't a waste of time, even if they don't contain the item you desire, but failed boxes ae a giant waste of time. When there's no event running there's no goddam chance that I'm going out of my way to log in every hour, because I just don't need to.

In conclusion, fails are a waste of time, and Conzio is responsible for that, therefore Conzio are fcuking *******s with these events.

i posted in another thread about this but this is the only event i have had 85-90% maybe higher success in opening boxes. im still stuck on 8 tires since day 1 but almost every box has been opening for me the entire event. i think ihave maybe 2-3 fails per day. all these opens and cant believe i still have 8 since day one.

I'm beginning to hate these events, why do I keep playing? At least I'm not using any gold.

I spent all my bad luck with openings on day 1 so...now I just get a steady stream of opening because of the law of averages.

But hey it could have been worse. Could have been 38 fails in a row :P

I was beginning to have the same feeling, and then I ran into a cheater/cash/RP hacker that I reported about a month ago, including with screen captures of the player constructing two buildings at the same time. Except that when I saw them before, it was on my low level account, and now I see them on my high level account. Meaning that Funzio, again, has does nothing to stop cheating, and now I see that Funzio only wants to drain cash from legitimate players. Screw this - I think I'm done. These things coupled together are enough for me.

Necro, indeed. I was wondering why peeps were talking about tires. New acronym I'm unaware of? Nope, someone just raised a thread back from the dead to confuse the pi$$ out of anyone not checking the post dates.

Places thread back in it's grave. RIP.
