Says I am top 25 but doesn't list my name. Guess its just messed up hat early in the event :-)

I can tell you this... it is extremely laggy right now board is delayed by about 10 min I hit 20 over 15 min ago and its taken tons of time to update and is updating a few each time not to current status.

2 shards 1 fail in three attempts not a problem getting crates - actually got most of them pvp which normally doesn't start to yield crates at this high of a drop rate until around the 2nd day or so and I am getting a $h!tty drop rate on jobs - ones that require over 350 energy - I would be confident in saying that they may have changed the drop rates so that people that aren't "job" doers and don't have high energy bars but high stamina can still yield enough boxes to compete. No statistics just an observation that I've made so far

Edit:: oh yea all cash option here got 20 chips last event all cash and only had to spend 20 bucks on gold to get into top 500 not even looking at my wallet this event - the items are average and the extra "increases" (100 attk pts and 5 henchmen) not extremly appealing either

Up to 9 opens all cash opens. 1 shard and 8 fails. Don't see myself winning this one. Am I the only one who thinks that the leader having in the 80's on the first day is utterly ridiculous???? I do like this game and play often and I'm lucky enough to make a decent salary that if I wanna buy some gold here and there I can. But to be at that amount on the first day is absurd. Even if you got the shard every time with the gold option, just between the open and the resets that's almost 2 vaults of gold. If I had to guess I'd say it's taken at least 3.......

All with middle option in-game money (fair chance) which must be a record 5 in a row opened without using gold!

It never made sense for the drop rate to go down. The more chests you have, the more you have to spend money on.

It never made sense for the drop rate to go down. The more chests you have, the more you have to spend money on.

Especially now that you have to get into top 25... before I think hypothetically EVERYONE could get the 10th item if they spent a little gold (unless there was a hidden top 50 or 100 or something limiting the amount of prizes)

Now you have to spend gold cause you get so many chests, with gold by 5 days this will be in the 250's I'm guessing...

4) $6000 YAY!!! .... cash option

sexkitteh
07-11-2012, 11:24 AM
5) fail... (cash option)

If I can collect like 100 of these safes and in the last few hours to get into the top 250 is "reasonable"... I may dump some cash into the game...

Is anyone else planning on doing this? It would suck if EVERYONE does this...

so far im 0 for 8 only using the low option.
is it designed now you have to use cash to get anything ? cos im fairly sure in the old events i had 7 8 or 9 shards by the end.. now i get nothing at all so these new style ones seem totally rubbish

I'm at 6 shards right now - all cash option. I farm carmen from canal street to get my crates. It's actually been a good drop rate for crates. At my level I can farm about 100 times. First time through I got about 6 crates.

Sexkitteh - I got 14 crates on the last event - all cash option - and I started late too.

I spent gold on the first event they did and I actually got the #10 prize. I think I spent maybe 10 bucks total (that was before they realized how much of a cash cow these events are). The next one I spent 5 and said forget it, I'll just do the cash options.

Just tried again and failed. Not sure what number that is.

I am starting to not care about these events because they happen to often. Also I am getting them late, which makes it impossible to catch up to get on the leader boards. It feels impossible to get to the top 50 and it feels like a tease.

I think that is the point of these events happening more and more often. It's an imaginary supply/demand...

If no one wanted the items, no one would be spending money... but clearly there are 25 people that REALLY want the items and are willing to drop the money on it... I can't imagine these will be the same people over and over again... if ever I see an item that makes me go WOW! I might be the one at the top of that ladder too :D

Just play for the free items :D

I say if you ARE going to spend some or any money at all... I'd wait till the end... like an auction on ebay...

See WHAT it will take to get the item and then you will know roughly how much you need to spend to realistically win the item...

Baroness gave us a clue... about 1700 gold for 20 shards... So anywhere from 1-2 vaults for 20 "things"...

I dont want to thread jack, and dont get me wrong, I am just feeling a little frustrated at the situation. I like getting the prizes and dont mind paying in game cash, but no more gold. If they are making money at it, then good for them. I am glad, that will keep the game going longer and force updates and changes that will hopefully make it better than it is now.

We're past the point where rational behavior can explain what's going on.

Can the shard rates be hacked?

I think the android version has a lot of hacks, probably even a gold hack. If they use their "unlimited energy and stamina" hack, finding a thousand boxes is easy, and if they have a gold hack, so is opening the boxes. The real trick is to follow khung's old rule of "no greedy", but many of them haven't even thought of that and now there are a bunch of suspicious looking android users out there.

Has this game been available on android for long enough that players can already be in the HLs without legitimately spending a fortune on gold? Because I've already seen several droids in the level 180-200 range.

32. Fail

11 out of last 12 attempts have been fails, and 12 out of last 14. Prior to that I opened six in a row and only got 1 shard.

The open rate for the middle option is obviously less that 50%, but even if it were 45% the odds of this kind of bad luck are geting into scratch off lottery ticket range.

I'm undecided on this event so far. Not sure if I'll spend a little gold or not. The numbers seem to be much higher than the last event.

I finished the last event at rank 126 but got lucky with 31. This time I'm already at 16 and barely in the top 250.

I would like the prize from the top 250 as I have the other two +100 attack event items.

These events get more insane as we go.

Eyelusion
07-12-2012, 11:44 PM
Top 250 is 16 already. This one is definitely going over the 25 for 500 on the last event and well over the 31 I had in that event to finish at #126. It's pacing toward 40+. I'm gonna guess 42 for top 250?

07-12-2012, 11:48 PM

I was in and out of the 250 for a part of today, and then I encountered a fail streak about 12 hours ago (I'll have to check) and that streak is holding strong. Total BS that an OPEN streak lasting that long is completely unheard of.

FLicking ridiculous.

Edit: actually, aside from only 2 shards today, it's all been fails (hitman rifles are fails). Real FAIR that the opposite never occurs for anyone.

Yeah man, the fair chance to open for this event is bullcrap! I'll keep plugging away every waking hour, but riding the 250 line for the first couple days and then being stonewalled in all respects, opens and shards, has completely taken me out of the running.

The most frustrating thing is the streaks. What's "fair" about getting such huge fail streaks when the longest open streak anyone can get is only five or six?

And yes, I'm still ticked off that BOTH of my event prizes with "jobs pay out more" modifiers do not work at level 200. Apparently it's being looked into, but winning events and having the bonuses basically taken away is just as bad as not being able to open the boxes at all.

I hear you. Take a look at my streak from a day or so ago on the 4th or 5th page.

I actually made it to 10 today and got that ugly ass car. Even the progressive prizes have low values in this event compared to previous. Whatever, I'm just hoping to get to 15 and hit respect points a few more times. Hoping for 20 seems laughable. If I bulk up on chests and go to overtime, maybe, but when you have one night of sleeping 45 minutes at the time, so you can open chests and out of 7 attempts get 1 to open, and what you get out of that is the armor item that is inexipicably inferior to the other armor item... you don't start wonder if it's really worth it.

It holds it's original place. When a "log your progress thread" is created you'll see some people posting "reserved" because they want their post as close to the front as possible.

Now a stupid question for you, what does S/A mean?? I'm not very clued up when it comes to Internet slang

outbackhat
07-13-2012, 05:41 PM
Not internet sling just polite way of saying smart A**,lol. Reason for question was I personally skip to last page on threads I have already read up to given point and assume maybe incorrectly that alot of people do. rather than rereading what can end up being pages of posts.

The Billionaire
07-13-2012, 05:52 PM
Yeah its a difficult one because there's no point in reading loads of pages you've already read just incase someone's updated a post. I only tend to do that with the "log your progress" threads so i can keep an eye on everyone's progress and eventually i remember the page number that most of them are on.

This event has been really easy to monitor because there's only really myself and Dudeman who are fully logging our progress and we're both on the first page. I'm glad he's finally hit an open streak because he had a ridiculous fail streak.

I wasn't going to spend any gold on this event but i managed to keep up with the person in 250th and because there's a gold sale i decided i'm gonna go for it. The thing is i've already got 200 attack skill points and not knowing how they truely work means i don't know whether another 100 of them is going to be any benefit.

outbackhat
07-13-2012, 06:09 PM
Yeah happy for him too, he was more than a little miffed. I don't have sale but 300 attack I do want so went for it anyway, am in top 250 with 22. The skill works well if you do alot of robs, for me anyway. I regulary successful against those with stats that I should not be, and I might be wrong but it helped alot it seemed in defense.

Up to 9 opens all cash opens. 1 shard and 8 fails. Don't see myself winning this one. Am I the only one who thinks that the leader having in the 80's on the first day is utterly ridiculous???? I do like this game and play often and I'm lucky enough to make a decent salary that if I wanna buy some gold here and there I can. But to be at that amount on the first day is absurd. Even if you got the shard every time with the gold option, just between the open and the resets that's almost 2 vaults of gold. If I had to guess I'd say it's taken at least 3.......

Like mentioned earlier the word is CHEATERS : Idc what anyone says the shard leader right now has 220 chards (edit that: just went to open he now has 249 shards) or some **** - in the last event I got in the top 500 - I used all cash up to the last hour got my 20th chip with 1 hr 2 min to go I was behind 500th place by 3 chips. I bought only a whatever 650 gold is called I forgot think a truckload or some $h!t...anywayz - I immediately blew threw the gold with timer resets and force opens cause the leader board froze I was already committed. Out of that gold I got 5 chips - with the timer resets thats about a 1/5 using gold!!!!! I feel I got lucky as hell that I placed last event but at that ratio to have 249 shards rhats 1245 force opens and with timer resets thats 37350 pieces of gold used which comes out to 24.9 vaults of gold we"ll just say 25 - that's $2500 spent and it's the same people in the top slots so your telling me that for the last two events these people have spent btwn $4000 -$5000 since the #s weren't so high last event that's why I left the spread but seriously that's a down payment on a car or pay your mortgage for a couple of months but hey it's a game of people with $ and I'm far from rich and have spent plenty to get what I have but theres a pt that cheating has to come into play there's gold cheats out there that I'm sure still work - they said they fixed them all hmm... And people have iTunes gift card code generators that randomly generate gift card codes that's free $ - yes I know most of them r scams or viruses but ive seen people redeem the money with a generated code on YouTube streaming live so u can't say there all fakes it just really sucks cause like buddy said I can afford gold on occasion but $5000 u better have been everywhere in the world and have every toy known to man b4 u spend 5k to get 5 extra mafia members do u realize how many gold weapons u could have accumulated with that - your attk and def score would be insane - but I bet if u checked their inventories they have all those items in duplicates or more already as well!!! Sounds a lil awkward to me but hey if your getting away with it more power to ya and if u really r spending that much u need GA bad!!!

for me that strange... u don't see the top 10 ? realy strange...

i have never see a player make event like this, realy strange for me, another reason i stop to buy gold too and put on event.

if all palyer make 5 day of event with cash options i think we spend realy under 300 gold....that why i say that strange, a real player or a good player don't spend so many money.

what u think eyelusion ? fake player for bosst the other ?

ps : i'm at 16 all cash option.. need 8 to reach top 250, i believe (lol) i open all hours maybe i miss 4 last night !

I totally agree - ive been extremly lucky with using in game cash option since first event ever - even the last one but I currently have 11 chips which I've had since yesterday morning at like 6 in the morning but pretty much all fails since then so I guess my luck streak has run out but at this point I'm too far behind to even reach top 250 which would suffice but if I switched to gold right now I'd need a vault just to catch up to 250th place maybe just surpass but then if I don't go buy another one I'll start to slip again Im hoping at this point I can even get the item for 20 might wait and see how close to 20 I actually get and maybe buy a small amount of gold just to get the kunai - depends

I have 50 fails right now and only 35 opens. 18 Shards, and pretty much everything else has been junk. Not even lucky enough to get the nerfed RP prize this event.

At least I can pretty much quit after two more Shards. I have no shot at the top 250.

Definitely no gold. I had enough Tapjoy gold for 8 open computer safes last event. All that got me was within 1 chip of a spot in the 500, and I lucked out with one last chip on my last attempt with cash before that event ended.

I've saved another 50-something TJ gold since then, but there's no point pissing it away on this event. I wasn't even planning to spend any of it last event, but I was close enough to the top 500 and wanted the Street Demon so I could hang my dice from the mirror. If this event were top 500 I might actually have a decent shot from where I am now, but it's not, so I don't.

Thanks for the info. Been thinking of making (and of course posting) an analysis of what the chances are of opening boxes on this event (afterwards) and now I can take yours up in it.

If anyone doesn't want to be in my analysis, please say so, so I can leave you out. If anyone does want in the stats please post detailed information on your openings.

FUN!


Same here man stuck on 11 for 2 days or more - I was at one pt 4 off the 250 mark now I'm 16... There's something wrong with that... Cause I guarantee u the person with 27 chips that's holding 250 th place right now is most def a cash player. Last event I kept up with the leader board for the most part and then at the end decided to go the gold route to solidify a spot but to not receive a single one in 2 days and I slowly watch 250 th place get further and further away - and I play constantly have over 120 crates on hand I mean **** they should have some kind of server that logs gameplay hours that should be calculated into your percentage ratio for getting shard but like that would ever happen.. I guess really I'm just used to havin pretty good luck in these events but at least let me to 15 or 20 for the insane effort but they win again.... No gold this time and I think the fact that they can't figure out people r cheating is also pretty ridiculous but I'm not the Funzio police do what u do!!!

So lame. Every time I get a shard the top 250 has moved up 1 or 2 and I can't gain any ground.

It feels like the only way to move up is the not just use gold to open but also to reset. That's dumb.

Damn it. That is it for me. My phone did some light swimming today and is officially dead. With 31 shards I was ahead by 2 shards this morning from last spots in 250 with 1700 gold spent so far. What a waste. I'll check with support if anything can be done about it.
Did anybody had same issue before and if it is what was done about it? I just hate to loose over $100 due to hardware failure. :(

I won't be playing as well anytime soon so you can make some dough from me at about 10:45-11:00 am tomorrow.

btw what's the point of refilling your energy early on? seems like the best way to do it is just to farm chests early on, amass as many as possible, and then go crazy with the opens in the last 2 days. that way you're not wasting gold on farming chests.

Scratchers: Only on Iphone/Ipad users. Android users (like me) complain a lot.
Samurai Event (/Katana was an item in the event) are Events, they run for 7 days on Iphone and for 5.? days on android. You can recognize them by the icon you get just above your players name in your hood. The Samurai event has ended, so you'll have to wait for the next event (I don't have an icon there either at the moment). Possibly a minimum of level 20 or so is required.
Crates: Boxes you can buy for Gold, can be bought in store and then Special (currently called Steel Armor Crate/60 gold). They give you a mix of weapons, but don't know to much about them since I'm non-gold.

Probably not. You are at a very low level. Most players there are sleeper/backup accounts for high level players. They use them to create income (for a second account) without leveling and have multiple devices. If you're bored on 1 device, you might as well be bored on 2. If you level up a few levels (about ten or so) they will be mostly gone. On your level they won't play events, because for events you'll need chests and the only two ways to get them is by attacking/robbing opponents or map buildings/people (thus getting exp, thus levelling). Some might be gold players, easy to recognize.


edit: do i get ios users in my fight lists, or do each have their own network/fight lists?

Yes, you'll get ios players in your list (and vice versa). The difference between an android and ios player is something I haven't been able to discover so far.

Just a question.

I made the top 250.... But did not get 100 attacking skill points.
How does it work ?

+ why does cc always craches ? For ex. If I attack 12- 17 times.....the app closses. I really hate this !!!
Its the same if attack bildings. And there is no difference on the ipad or the iphone.....is it a bug ?
