You guys can learn from this...Whoever is going for top 250 or 50, you guys can take it easy on 2nd, 3rd, 4th day because that's the time they push the button for okey units, valor, grunts, cash, & the event part...

from 37 to 44 crates, i was trying to catch up but no event parts at all then i stop using gold at 45...

from 38 to 60 crates which is the 2nd to 3rd day that no event parts at all between those numbers...

Ranger4Life
10-23-2012, 09:14 PM
I've never used gold for an auction event so I decided to try one. I've opened 110 crates and only have 10 parts. I even went 34 straight times without a TR dropping. Serves me right for participating in the dang auction event.

Ranger, the first day always seems to be 10%, whereas the drop rate at the end seems to be 30-40%. I'd use cash for a couple days, then switch to gold opens.

Have you ever played roulette? The odds are the same on any given spin. There are 18 red numbers, 18 black numbers and at least one green number. However, it is not uncommon to see 10 or more spins land on a red number. This is when you have players running over to bet on black. It is the same with the boxes. Last event I got 29 with cash opens. Extremely lucky! That is like the 10 spins in a row landing on red. This event I am only at 4. This means I am not getting lucky with my opens. You do not have to open 10 boxes to get 1 part just because the chance of getting a part for any given box is 10%. You might get two in a row like Gambit just did.

OH, and by the way, those people with 40+ boxes are using lots of gold to do timer resets, energy resets, stamina refils, and gold opens.

You can't win the top 50 wihtout tons of gold, but you can win the top 250 with a ton of luck and possibly a little gold. Of course you have to play to win at all and everyone knows the evenst are here to entice you to spend real money. Nothing wrong with that if you can afford it and want to

There is a chance with luck and hard work you can make the top 500 but from what I've seen the last few events nobody is going make the top 250 without spending some gold.

At 4 right now. On a streak of 8 sorrys in a row.

I think I spent $10 in gold and some TJ gold last event to get 30 and finish in the top 250. For the first few days I only got parts though and in total only about 4 of the boxes I opened didnt have a part in them.

I'm up to 6 now with cash option

(only cash opens)

I think the unit rewards you can get for free (meaning no gold) are absolutely worth the participation!
Only thing I hate with auction events is the damn grunts (+1 ally) since I haven't started on building an army and want to keep ally count at a minimum!

You need to hit high energy PVE target.

I am sitting out all the auction events, not even cash, not worthy to spend a single phony cash, occasionally I get some boxes from PVP unintentionally, so I open free hand.

Quite fun watching the two super powers duking it out at the top. I guess PUN feels slightly raw from Ferr pulling ahead very late in the last day of the last auction.

The objective of this game is camping, basically to not level and not get allies - to grow strong among your equals (and also to delay arriving in the deep end of the pool).
If you're already leveling from pvp, and getting crates on top of that, getting those indestructible units makes you stronger than buying equivalent units with cash, some are (way) stronger than what the normal cash arsenal can get you. For me, the expense of cash opens are no problem at all, it's even way cheaper than buying the equivalent cash unit!
Not to mention the very fun gaming factor of collecting the "lottery tickets" (crates) and overall doing the events!
(Unfortunately, I can imagine for medium and higher gold spenders it becomes more of a grind...
And a big disappointment if you don't get something you invested a lot of gold into.)

Yes it is fun, yes the stats are better than most cash equivalents. However, you need to start buying A LOT of strong cash/valor units as well. the few indestructible units you are getting from these events are not enough. You need to have very strong stats as your level gets higher, and looking through your inventory you need to pack on some more units. I know you are running with only a few allies at this point, so you are ok and surely have time, just keep buying units as well. Happy hunting for crates!

Thx Ph4ntom Stranger!
And you are completely correct! I should have added that I'm talking in the context of small ally numbers, then a few special units do a much bigger contribution. At medium and especially higher ally counts, 40 special units among 200 units is a very small impact.

Right now though, I'm top 5% of the players in my rival list (top 10% of equal or more ally ones).
This depends on the visibility range that GREE sets, think they broadened it recently, as I suddenly started seeing 5 ally to 32(+) ally players, luckily though the low ally ones have way too low buildings for me to bother raiding XD


oh, and up on 6 parts atm, getting lotsa sorrys

It has been a really great day for me. Went from 7 to 14 today!! All cash/medium opens and no resets. Currently in the top 250. If i can keep this up I'll be VERY pleased :)

Good job manbeast..!

Hit them at least 3 to 5 times & if there's none, move on to another...Or do PvE on your mission goal...

Anyways, calling all who has Russian flag players, forumites family & lurkers alike. Who is going for the top 250 air unit?

I got #10 not long ago, 2d remaining, I'm fairly sure #15 is possible..
How can some of you guys be so high as 14 on only cash, manbeast, Ryans67? What's the differing factor?
Level? All time gold spent? Recent gold spent?
Ryans67 shows an interesting statistic: LLP at 14 while HLP at 8.

I have no idea how my LLP has gotten to 15 with cash. Typically I barely get to ten, or stop at ten because there isn't enough time for 15. My HLP is still at 8. All comes down to luck...

I am stuck at 10. I have received 4 grunts since getting number 10! Every other open attempt has been a sorry. Sorries and grunts for me this time around I guess. At least I wont have to worry about using gold to try and get in the top 250!

Congrats Gambit. I've been lazily using cash opens. Currently at 12 parts.

I read somewhere that ties for the top 250 are broken by level. What wins, higher or lower level?

I honestly don't care for these events. I'm just glad if I get to 5.My sentiments exactly :)

At least we used to get a nice indestructible unit at 3 - 5 - 7 & 9 with the open 10 events. Now - just getting to 5 is a disappointment

Thanks Miner but i got a long way to go to stay in top 250 with 1d 16hrs left...

BTW Ferr & P.U.N. are toe to toe with 1042 & 1032 tokens respectively...This is going to be a close fight! Anyone wants to predict where they gonna end up at..?

Anyone has 15 or 20 with cash open only..?

10-27-2012, 10:06 AM
I switched to gold at 15 on my LLP. I was bored and figured I'd go for top 250. Course now it's all the way at 23! The HLP is at 11, with all cash. Don't think I'll make it to 15, and the 15th unit isn't worth spending gold.

Imagine how many grunts Ferr and PUN have from this event, probably 500 each lol.

i thought guys over lvl 150 didnt get grunts as part of the loot? use to be lvl 80 and up.

Ryans67
10-27-2012, 07:04 PM
It used to be that way, then the last event before the switch to auctions, they screwed the loot up. Now everyone seems to get grunts or junk units no matter the level. You would think they would fix this....

I stopped at 37 on the llp. Looks like gambit had 35 and won. Everytime I swear I'm never spending gold again, and then end up using gold. I think I used 1,000 gold to get the extra 17 or so parts. Not a bad deal i suppose. Hlp had 15 parts using cash option.

I'm really disappointed, got only 14.
Part #2-5 came almost all in a row, so I thought I got a "lucky boost" and would get 15 for sure, maybe even 20.
That, plus I opened a few every night during sleep, and mostly kept the times.
If I had kept the times perfectly, maybe 5-8 more opens, but seeing as the last 3 days the droprate was butchered, I doubt #15 would be possible...

Do you guys think the droprate is tied to leveling? I.e. if you increase in level you're rewarded with higher droprate?
(only leveled once or twice this event and had plenty of crates...)

You are asking about the drop rate for parts, correct? I don't think so. I think it's just the randomness of the programming that determines whether you get parts or loot. Sometimes you get lucky and have a better run of parts dropping rather than loot.

Case in point, when I finally got the event to pop up on my phone there was 3 days left. I didn't try to participate but got 6 crates. Opened them all on cash (a few sorry's in there obviously) and got a part in every single crate. That is luck.

Well done Gambit. Where's that get you? I got 6 VTOL's pretty much 'cos I haven't tried, also some cash, valor and an adorable little grunt who runs around minefields for recreation.
