You don't go to the CC forum, and how would they know? Don't believe everything you hear. (Or make up)

Well thanks for the heads up anyways. Usually you don't give us an event notice.

so there is no event ? a post informing us of a new event the day before with a uk start time too would be most helpfull .

What?
07-05-2012, 09:24 AM
I was like finally some advance notice...but it's wrong...which one is the box event? I'm so confused which event is what.

Crime City Mark
07-05-2012, 09:39 AM
Heh, I actually can't give advance notice. What I can do is try to get a post up as close to the actual start date as possible. So, within a few minutes or a couple of hours if I'm really lucky.

The reason we can't give advance notice is because the event might not go live. Sometimes Apple makes things really difficult.

Hi Mark

I remember seen in the announcements that Lizz posted that an event would start sometime later in the day, and it actually happened.
I guess you guys have this events scheduled, so it would be possible to give a headup in a general manner
something like
"guys there will be an event starting sometime during the day"

manbeast
07-05-2012, 10:11 AM
seriously. whats the point of an official funzio forum if we dont get any extra info from you guys. if i worked there i'd be doing a full write up on each event explaining everything (for example: how the bosses health is calculated and what you should do to be the most successful against him). if they dont let you talk about anything to forum members, then they have their heads up their a$$es. a majority of us are gold players now i think

I think they programmed it extremely difficult. I probably get 1 out of 4-5 open boxes. It seems they have changed the difficulty level to me.

Same here. And is it just me or usually start of crate events, the medium chance is usually 30k to open? This time I started at 55k to open

Its based on your lvl * 1,000 bro...
It is really hard for me in this event...
Sorries all day...open rates is the worse in 8 events I've been thru..

The problem is Modern War's business model is based on us buying gold. They figure the harder they make the events, the more we are apt to buy gold to complete the event. However, if you cross a line where people start thinking it is impossible, then they won't buy gold, for exactly that reason. They simply are not interested in wasting their money on what they perceive to be an impossible event.

Perception is everything.

From the comments I have seen, I think Modern War is starting to cross the line into "impossible" at least on some of its events.

They have the same problem with low to moderate gold buyers. Once people realize it is "impossible" to compete in this game at the higher levels -- because there are individuals who have spent hundreds of dollars on gold -- then the low to moderates will quit buying gold.

Funzio still needs to make money. So we have to somehow maintain the revenue flow while at the same time changing their business plan. I have wondered about a premium membership that costs a few bucks a month that would provide members the ability to:

Upgrade more than one building at a time
Lower upgrade times (Note both 1 and 2 are revenue sources for Funzio as people tire of waiting extended period of time for upgrades and use gold to complete them)
Provide access to special units and buildings (maybe with the capability of fighting gold armies)
Provide unique maps with better than average unit drops
Even special Members' only events


These are just a few suggestions.

I have seen many suggestion put out by forum posters that cut into MW's revenue stream. These will not fly or Funzio will cease to exist. So any suggestions on changes that affect Funzio's current revenue stream need to by offset by other sources of revenue.

Mad, that is a very insightful post. Thank you! You said what I've been thinking for a long time. As you can see, I don't post very much but you are right on the money here.

I put in a support ticket and was told it was being looked into and that my ticket was closed.

This time I find it difficult to find crates. Last event with googles ended as I had like 40 unopened crates, but right now I don't have what to open.

Do you find more crates in pvp or pve?

Both. For the first day or two you have to do pve since nobody has them yet, but after that you can stop pve and get them from pvp easily.

upto 9th grenade, 72 boxes, maybe i'll make it two events in a row that i've won without spending gold?!

Dockman
07-08-2012, 02:15 PM
I'm on the graveyard shift for a couple more days and I'm opening them almost every hour since I dont sleep well during the day and I'm only on my 7th grenade. I dont think I'll win this one. :(

for 9k gold I would have bought me about 3 sets of LEs and get 3 extras as bonus, with much better stats all together, since the bonus is not that great anyways in the event

Pretty sure no one at Funzio was twisting your arm. That's why you don't use gold on events. Pure Luck based.

No gold was spend on the first eight, a little on 9 and the rest on tenth. It is luck based, as all similar events are, but this has never happened before. They must have changed the statistics on this one. Anyways, you are right, its a first and last time.

I am at over 70 opens - mostly gold - since my 9th grenade. Spent 4500 trying for the 10th on the Bear Tank with the ground unit boost. You would think they would WANT people that put 1000 gold to win so MORE people would try - but when guys talk about all this gold and no 10th item - it just makes others NOT see the reward being worth the risk.

9,000 gold would bought 6 LE sets!! with 6 additonal bonuses, with a chance to get the rares...
that will be 30 BEAST units in total...damn man...should have not used gold on these events...

I finally got it, was at 8 grenades on day 2 and received the 9th grenade yesterday and the 10th this morning. I did not have to use gold.

ever ever ever since i had no luck with the events...the closest thing i had for a reward was the epic boss which was at lvl 27(is that close enough w/o using gold??) anyway, event usually don't overlap each other right? maybe in the next 2-3 days.

9k gold buys you 62 3x crates which is 186 indestructible units. In a thread posted a few months ago the avg attack and def added is about 50, that'd be an additional 9.1k attack\def.(could be much higher if you have good luck but this is just an average) Probably better then the 6 LE sets and 6 bonus units.

I got the first 7 grenades relatively easily, 8 and 9 were much harder, and 10 was impossible. I opened 0ver 40 grenade boxes trying to get the 10th one. I spent money towards the end to open the rest of my grenade boxes, and you can be damn sure I never spend money on this game again.
