Art crate event is active now AND IT IS THE 10/10 EVENT WOOT WOOT

1 cash open, 1 painting!

Edit: 2 complaints. 9 items = 4 weak prizes and I hate that there are 2 events running at the same time!

The top prize is much weaker than a top 250 prize. Not excited about this event at all! I would rather spend money to compete for a great top 250 prize knowing I get that as well as 4 higher than these stat items.

Ios is on epic boss now so i didn't know if they doubled up or that was replacement. Whats the 10/10 prize and modifier?

Plus Ios may have already had an art crate event.

How do you find somebody with crates? It's only Android players. Always have retardedly hard time to find any from PvP.

It's not on iOS. We only have the epic boss. The last 10 item event was the one for the corpse maker which gives you 50% more on robs. It's the only 10 event item I have.

Nice Funzio! With both events, it's very comparable to the boss event on ios. I'm feeling these two events. The drop rates are good on the PvP too. Thank you Funzio/Gree!!!!

[QUOTE=DenZ1;416654]How do you find somebody with crates? It's only Android players.

If the weapons are the same as the ones apple players had though, it might not help you at all. Attack players whose hoods are collected because they have been active. Try to think of anything to look for to id android players. No boss event weapons maybe. good luck!

I know this one. Way too time consuming as there about 1 android player per 5 iOs players.

I just hit 5 random players for the PvP tournament and got 5 art crates. No way, I'm that good at hitting just android players. I think they must have increased the drop rates for PvP, no matter what platform you are on. Let's just hope if that's true the code holds up and ios players don't start getting art crates too if this is an android exclusive event.

Looks like a rehash of an old iOS event? Would have been nice if the items were adjusted for inflation :(

And I have confirmed looting Crates off iOS players (people with Boss event loot). Probably because this is a rehash and iOS players technically have Crates already associated with their record.

At least its not a Top 100/10 event? (A plastic bone)

09-19-2012, 12:20 AM
So far I've 1 painting out of 3 tries. To be honest, I like this event. 10 successful open to get to grand prize, easily achievable & stress free~ Can save up my SP for adding to other stats. I think Confession Bringer (+65% recovers energy faster) would help a great deal for my future events coz my energy runs out pretty fast during event. thanksss Gree for this great event & gd luck all! =D

Edit: All open via cash only. No intention of using gold unless during the last hr... >_<

Hi everybody, this is my first post here :)

(sorry for my english)

I got 3 crates this morning (2 pvp and 1 job: civic center - mini mart), opened them with money and failed 3 times...
Anyway I've probably used 70-80 stamina points since then and did not get ANY crate. How do you manage to get so many, is there something I'm not aware of or am I just incredibly unlucky?

Welcome to the forum Faufiffon! =D Chances of getting a crate is higher when a job requires much energy or need to do multiple times. U can also get crate by attacking or robbing ppl if you're lucky enough, if it is an android exclusive event, try to rob droid players only. But for this event, it seems that crates are dropping from both droid & ios players from wat I read.

Thanks for your reply Mikkobaby. I've finally got one crate while robbing a laundromat, I hope my bad luck period is over. Could you point me to a job that you know drop crates? Also, do you know if the same job can drop crates multiple times?

Np man.. Erm can't name a specific job coz its really random I think. Try to do the job that consume the most energy or a job that requires u to do more than once, so far I don't repeat same job as I do not wish to gain unnecessary exp unless u feel that the loot is worth ur effort to do the same job again. Actually I'm stating all these to the best of my knowledge. I'm still quite a newbie myself. :p Hehe..

New lotto style makes them more money, but the events themselves are comparatively mediocre if you aren't willing to spend hundreds.

In case anyone is wondering I have close to 2,000 PvP wins already for that event.

Easy. I have 45 stamina and used 270 gold on resets. I go 45-0 on players with 500+ mafia so that I continuously accomplish my thug life goals at the same time. I typically have 20,000+ more attack than others' defense even though I have 100 less mafia members than them! I have bought 50 RPGs and about 40 yamaha race bikes with the RPs I have been receiving. I am close to leveling up again so I will then have 47 stamina (I saved a skill point).

So microsoft is a multibillion company and nobody tell them to sort there things out , with windows releases ?

So please I would love company names of all these people moaning about services , so I can point out to them how they think things should work , be happy you got the 10th event .
And no 150 gold will not garantee anything in the 10th event item , even 15k gold might not get you the item :p
It is all down to luck , nothing else in event 10 .

Or first day spending , like mad to get it done :p

Easy. I have 45 stamina and used 270 gold on resets. I go 45-0 on players with 500+ mafia so that I continuously accomplish my thug life goals at the same time. I typically have 20,000+ more attack than others' defense even though I have 100 less mafia members than them! I have bought 50 RPGs and about 40 yamaha race bikes with the RPs I have been receiving. I am close to leveling up again so I will then have 47 stamina (I saved a skill point).

What are your stats like? And you do thug life while not at 500 mafia, sounds like a rat too me

I'm assuming these events have some kind of payout schedule? Like each extra item you get, the harder it is to get the next one? I got 3 paintings in a row (crowbar, reset timer, crowbar, reset timer, crowbar) When I got to 8 it was looking like I wasn't gonna end up getting number 10 but eventually did. I probably spent about 900-1000 gold total on the event. Now i have 8 art crates left over. guess ill be doing the free option from here :)

I did like I said I got nothing but paintings at first, then I was using gold just on the hour and I did not get a painting for like 10-12 tries. So I got antsy and started doing timer resets to see if that helped and for me it did. I've been holding onto my gold pile for like 6-7 weeks due to crappy crates and just wanted to get something nice. I don't regret the gold spent, I've got the money so why not enjoy :) oh yeah and the 65% faster energy refill is a nice bonus.

I have 38,000+ attack plus 145 attack from skill points. The only reason I started to build my mob was to see bigger mafia members in my rivals list. I was able to see 500+ rivals when I had around 375-380 members. I had to sometimes refresh the screen a few times to get them but I did. I now have around 415 members and get them all the time.

This event has crazy good percentages, I would recommend all Android users do this event. I got the Devil's Inquisition with 4 days left. Now I guess I can go try to win some items from the MW event right now.

BTW, I did this with all cash option, no gold.

Weird, is this event tiered as well? I know the iOS one is.

I just hit lvl 53 and my normal prizes have all changed. For example, I'm getting Racer Z instead of Pimp Lowrider, Ballistic Vest instead of Bomb Suit, 300 R instead of 100.

That was Haywood. I have 9 using only cash option. I will spend gold on the last day if I have to. I have almost 200 unopened crates!

Those wondering about the different items: There are different tiers based on your current level. The higher your level the better the items. The modifier is the same though for the last item.

I think they have upgraded the crate's items as well. I thought the last tier was unlocked at level 81, but I'm getting higher amounts of (and different) items than I have been for any previous events.

Such as $125,000 -- 500rp -- Carnival Hammer (14/10). Hopefully more to come.

And yes, the painting rewards are definitely tiered. My roommate has all different items, and his grand prize is lower stats than mine (though same name).

The iOS event:

It appears to be identical (for me at least) as far as drops. But i dont think the iOS version was tiered, which sucks for lower level Android players.

The Art Crate event has been a good one for me overlapping with the 100 PvP contest. I'm up to 7 crates with 3 days to go, so with any luck I'll complete the cycle.

This is a contest for the rest of us. Sure you can buy success (you always can with Gree), but with prizes for 3, 5, 7, 9 and 10 crates, this contest is both doable, high reward for interim progress and under my control (well sort of). By definition, top 250/50 contest means what other people do, can be as important as what I do. I don't like that feeling.

That is also why I like the 100 PvP contest. If you can't pick 100 fights that you win, you shouldn't be playing. The only question is if you are willing to take the leveling up consequences.

It seems like this art event is using old style type with new style items drop rate. I just got my 11th painting.. Casual opens. If that is the case, by the end of event everyone but extremely unlucky players would get to 10 with no problems. When iOS art event was on the way it was extremely hard to get to 10. Not the case now. If I'm not wrong, its a freebie gun and modifier for Android players.

Thank you. Eventually I will add decorations but I feel like its a waste of space and money. I have all my buildings grouped by time. My 1 hours are next to each other, the three hours are next to each other, ect.

By the way, I AM THE LUCKIEST EVENT PLAYER EVER! I received the 10th item using the cash option and even better, I only had 5 successful opens that were not paintings! When I got to 9 I had two successful opens that were not paintings before getting 10.

@DenZ1: I agree that I feel like they didn't change the drop rate from the 20 item events. I thought that exact same thing when I got to 9. Usually you would be stuck at 8 even with with 2-3 days left getting bomb suits and stuff.

No. He thinks that you are purposely hiding out at 499 mafia or below but usually 499 to avoid being hit by those trying to achieve TL goals for people with 500 mafia in the higher levels. Usually individuals doing that have huge iph's(cheese) hence the rat connotation. Hugely frowned upon.

Ha! Funny thing is Im doing the opposite! Im building my mob to attack higher mobs. I added around 100 mafia members this past month and am still trying to add more. I havent lost a fight in forever so trust me, Im not afraid of having 500 members. I always blindly fight 500+ mafias with 415 mafia members and easily win. Just because Im doing thug life goals Im a rat? What a dumbass. I just figured if I have to attack people I might as well get a ton of extra RPs at the same time.

Plus, this is an old iOS event so that means they're actually working on porting over their old events to our platform. More than I thought was going on behind the scenes, that's for sure. It actually makes me feel confident that we'll have boss events in a couple months time.

I assume to "make up for" the iOS users getting events that we were unable to, they'll recycle most / all their events to us as soon as they can. Once they do that, then they'll probably start syncing the events together again.

Looking good, GREE, keep it up. Never thought I'd say that. :p

The definition of a rat is someone who sits below 500 mafia and does thug life goals at the same time. You have under 500 mafia and what do you do? Thug life goals. So dont call me a dumbass for calling you a rat when you do the exact same thing that rats do. I had to ask funzio to delete my whole mob cause I had 400+ ghost mafia and I was back at 500 in less than a week so I don't know what you adding 100 people in a month has to do with anything. See how long those 38k stats hold up when you get up too 500

Hey dumbass, Im trying to build up to 500. Im on this forum enough to know that my now 40k stats dont compete with the crazy gold spenders. Am I supposed to attack people and purposely avoid thug life? I cant wait for that since the pvp event ends Monday. Two birds with one stone.

09-22-2012, 06:08 AM
So here's how I play this game. When I have time I go to a random person's hood and rob them if they have something worth robbing. 98% this does not happen because their hood is weak as hell or their big money buildings aren't ready to be robbed. I will check their profile to see if they have a lot of unbanked money. Again, most of the time they are carrying nothing or something not worth attacking them for. When I do this I don't care about their level or mafia size.

Then this event comes around. I already have a 10% reduction time on my upgrades and love the thought of reducing it more. So I figure I might as well go for some thug life goals while I do this. My goal at the time was to attack mafias of 400. This then went up to 420, 440, ect. Was I supposed to stop when it got to 500? Is there any logical reason for me to stop doing thug life goals when I have to attack people to win this event?

I understand the concept of a rat but it was pretty ****ty of you to put absolutely no input into this thread except to call someone a rat. If you have no valuable input then go somewhere else. I'm informing people about how I am going about this event and where I am currently at. You are just here to call me a rat. On behalf of everyone on this thread, thanks for nothing.

If these were still the current items like the z racer instead of the enhanced bike I would spend the cash on that option. The current items are much stronger than these older ones.

I'm still stuck at 9. Will only use cash for the event since I still haven't gotten the items won for 2 other events I used gold on. Support ticket still in on those, but at least got an email today saying to submit the ticket through the game. Guess I didn't know support@funzio.com isn't the correct way. Geez... :rolleyes:

Wow. I have been at 9 for 3 days. This 10th one is hell!! Spent 150 gold on ten tries.... no rare painting. They are good at squeezing money out of desperate people. I have two more gold tries. After that.... screw it.... not spending another dime on this game. I am decked out already.... I don't need it.

09-23-2012, 05:29 AM
i have to admit, they have good strategy in place to squeeze out real money lol
in the beginning of the even, it looked like, "wow, easy event and easy winnings". and then they pulled the plug .. go bang ur head against some wall or something :p

IOS had the art crate event months ago. This run is android exclusive.

And all the android users are seeing what kind of hell the collect 10 events can be! Lol!

The only difference I can see is that there seem to be a lot of people getting an 11th item, and I don't remember hearing about that happening at all or maybe more than once with an iOS collect 10 event.

I couldn't tell you for sure. I know rockets and RPG crates are still in people's inventories, but I don't know if that's caused by the same problem that affects the prize from that event (Blackout RPG), or if there was just an issue with the event itself.

Can't possibly imagine that there would EVER be an issue with an event. Haha

There isn't a set #. It gets harder to get them as you approach the target #. This is by design.

Carmine74
09-23-2012, 03:50 PM
I see, they want us to buy/spend gold after they get us just close enough...sorry, not a chance. I'll stick with the cash openings and if I don't get the 10th, so be it.

Hi Tony,

Thank you for the message. Here is a quick breakdown on how our events work: It is possible to collect event boxes from jobs in the game, or by robbing them from other players. There are three options to choose from to open the boxes: the free option which gives a low chance of opening, the cash option which gives a medium chance of opening, and a gold option which guarantees opening. An attempt to open the event box can be made once per hour, although the chance to open can be reset immediately for 15 gold.

Once a box is opened, one of several things will be awarded: money, respect, an extra grunt/mafia member, an item, or the event special item. Regardless of how the box is opened, the reward is randomly chosen; opening a box does not guarantee that the event special item will be awarded. Each special event item gained will reduce the chance of getting the next, although this chance never becomes zero or below zero.

TZora
09-23-2012, 07:44 PM
hehe .. if using gold does not guarantee a special item, give us one good reason to throw real money on gold .. a big fail!!!!!!!!!

TZora
09-23-2012, 07:47 PM
How did you get 445 crates???? lol
it is easy.. veeeerrrrryyy easy. just keep doing jobs (energy) and beat lots of players (stamina). if u have gud energy (around 2000) and gud stamina (around 80), u can collect tht many crates easily.
my energy/stamina is 1830/55 and i managed to collect more than 200 crates .. not a big deal.

TZora
09-23-2012, 07:52 PM
argh .. just 16 hours to go and i'm still on 8 since day 1. lol i'll be damn happy if i get the 9th. not that the elite police armor is special, but just that i'll know there are still some paintings to be won :D

I have just over an hour to get 1 more crate. I have 55 gold.

Should I spend

12,700 cash, then gold reset, then gold, then gold reset, then cash

or should I spend gold, then gold reset, then gold

Is it better chances with (2 cash and 1 gold) or (2 gold) spent on crates?

Help me soon or not at all! I've been waking up every hour for the last 8 spending cash and I'm cranky as hell. I want my Devil's Takedown!

Well, I am now the proud owner of
a netflix account
a hulu account
a bunch of tapjoy linked games I don't want
a bunch of crate items I didn't want or need

$4.99 worth of gold poorer (first and last buy ever, playing since april, $/hr of play is still way less than Skyrim or any other game I've ever spent money on, BUT gree can take it away at any time)

-and-

a Devil's Takedown

It took a lot of straight gold buys to finally get the tenth painting (A LOT!)

In retrospect I don't think I would have dropped $4.99 if I wasn't so tired from waking up and trying to get that damn painting through my entire sleep schedule. Ahh remorse.

09-24-2012, 11:39 AM
i got the first 9 paintings in just over 30 hours

in the remaining hours i spend over 500k cash and 250 gold on opening boxes without getting that 10th painting

event ending and out of gold now and more then a little pissed of

gambet1234
09-24-2012, 11:42 AM
I was contemplating that when I dropped the real money. If I didn't get the 10th painting I was going to delete CC to keep away from that extorted feeling from now on.

I seriously need to get to ten posts! Wow, I've been here for months.

gambet1234
09-24-2012, 11:47 AM
sorry for the double post, went to edit my last, and read my last sentence.

Tommy_K leave CC running.

I remember a couple events ago I left it running for 2 hours after the time was up and was still collecting prizes. The server didn't seem to care as long as my phone would think I could get another (even though the time said 0:00:00) (edit:it now says "SOON!")

edit: I got to open 2 extra crates in the two hours before I got a phone call and cc lagged so bad I gave up seeing how long I could keep the event working. Both opens were cash and got a blnt.
