I have two games.

I have managed to obtain NINE missiles on each game.

One game has been sitting on NINE missiles for 72 hours.

The other game has been stuck on NINE missiles for 48 hours.

Curious, isn't it?

On one event i was stuck on 9 for 4 days.

On a some events, I'm sure people remain stuck on NINE for days, and end the event with NINE.

I'll sit right here, and use fake, Gree Groats to open the crates, no worries.

I knew it was a scam to force you to buy gold if you want the final missile

I had 9 within the first 2 days and have been spending the 66k every hour I have been awake and have received mostly NOTHING..or some bull sh units and some $

so that tells me, that even if i used gold now, there is no guarantee i'd get the missile... i'd have to KEEP using gold until i did?

I haven't even made it to nine. I haven't even made it to eight. I had this thing, called a game. I started playing this game less and less. This is because the game became more and more boring. So now I return back to this thing I used to call a life. This life thing becomes more and more interesting as the game is played less and less.

I've been stuck on 9 for 2 & 1/2 days. No surprise though, as I've discovered as in KA, when you have a heap of unspent gold/gems sitting in your account GREE doesn't want you to get it without spending some real money.

It's obviously been rigged to force people to use some gems. Every time I have opened it successfully I have received a crappy indestructible, cash, valour & even exp....who the hell wants more exp damn it! I probably have a 50/50 open rate so far on this last effort over the past 2 and a half days, open ending 18 times each day. I've also found since sitting on 9 that you are less likely to pick up a box now too. RIGGED RIGGED RIGGED RIGGED RIGGED! I've totally given up on these crappy box events.

Keep trying. It just takes a little luck

I'm still working on number 9. But I've seen the chances of getting number 10, it's around 2%. Whoever has won a collect ten event for free is extremely lucky. My longest wait is 4 days, though I've been working towards number 9 for 5 days so far.

Who said it is 2% and how did that person find that out, somebody plz answer this!

If it really is 2%, here's what I wrote in another thread:

(First post here peeps!)
As for some math, I've read that the probability to get 10:th part is like 2% per try at level above 100 (some-1 provide more data on this!). That makes the prob to get 9->10 after N tries:
1-(1-[prob to get])^N or 1-[prob NOT to get]^N or 1-0.98^N
at 20 tries it's 33%, 40 means 55%, 60 means 70%

Ryans67
11-27-2012, 11:06 PM
2% comes from game files. I've been stuck at 8 for three day on my LLP, and just got 9 on my HLP. It's annoying for sure...

11-28-2012, 08:49 AM
I stopped playing after the last event becuase I felt it was rigged or I just had really, really bad luck either way it wasn't working out. I figured out that I had 900+ chances (two devices, all cash, no gold) to get #10 over the course of those events and never "won" a single one.

If you spend a volt or more of gold first day on opens a resets mcdoc has won every one doing that as that is when they give parts out more , as a free player I know if I don't get 9 with 3 or 4 days left I can forget about it , I have played every event and won 2 collect 10 parts . I have had 9 with over 4 days to go and not got 10 , you have to be very very lucky to win without gold and I have not won for a long time. you have to do it early with a lot of gold , players have spent loads of gold towards the end and not got 10 .

That's a 2% chance given an open. So if the open rate is say 33% for example, then you basically have a 0.66% chance per try at receiving #10.

So after 10 attempts you'd have 6.4% chance at receiving #10; 20 attempts 12.4%; 50 attempts 28.2%; 70 attempts 37.1%

11-28-2012, 10:47 AM
Who knows how it is run but it is defiantly set up to tempt every one to buy gold to get part 10 at the time when there is least amount of parts around .

Bosh!! 100% cash openings, after being stuck on 8 for a couple or three days I did a little air punch when number 9 came along for the Stinger Gunship. Little did I know that number 10 was but 3 hours around the corner :) ... Lucky boy :)

**** was so happy when I got #10 earlier! This is what this game is all about!!! :D It's really great!
And I really earned my prize with the collecting, constant timer-opening, time and effort put into this!
Feels great!

You guys who are skeptical, check my history in sig.
The first was before I PvP, second I was convinced it was rigged (didn't know about less likeliness for each part, especially #10, thought impossible without gold) so wasn't that motivated to open on time, many times it went hours (2-6) between opens - should have gotten it with timely opens since it lasted a total of 8 days also! Third was less than ~2d12h on android and ~4d on iOS - was so glad I at least got to 9!




2% comes from game files.
Can we find out more about this?

Positive. Given you are on #9 and given the box opens, you can expect:

Defensive Cannon 18.09%
Armored Charger 15.58%
500 Valor 15.08%
$1.25m 15.08%
Dragon Soldier 14.07%

It must be different for Android than iOS (AGAIN!)

Defensive Cannon 18.09% - nop

Dragon Soldier 14.07% - nop
Ghost Hound 12.06% - nop
$250k 8.04% - 60k WTF!
Tomahawk Missile 2.01%

then like some other crappy units like supply frigate, mech rover, etc..
Did you look it up for my level?
So the open rate is 1/3 and the above is content rates (within an open)?

Dr. Dengus
11-28-2012, 07:19 PM
The 33% open rate I suggested was just for the sake of example. It seems relatively accurate, but was just an estimate on my part. Yeah the loot I listed was for the 81+ bracket, here it is for yours (given you are on part #9):

Supply Frigate 17.14%
Sea Cannon 17.14%
300 Valor 13.71%
Fortified Sniper 13.71%
Mech Rover 13.71%
$500k 13.14%

I spent like 180 gold trying to get the last missile. I'm pretty disappointed. I rarely buy gold and so that really hurt me. I've also camped at 20 for like 11 months and I went up 6 levels trying to get the stupid thing. I hope you get a good laugh out of my fail, lol.

If you were a Funnzy little slot machine...know that your best/buddy/pal
will get up and leave if you give him that #10 Tommie...would you give him
that #10 tommie?

I cannot speak for anyone else, but getting a low end gold unit that provides no valor boost at all will not make ME spend again :P

11-29-2012, 07:44 AM
From my experience up to now ( a year more or less): U can get at nine crates with around 7-10 cash opens/ day. In this way you will reach crate No 9 on the last day BUT the 10 th crate is either big luck or 1500-3000 gold spent!
This is working for me at least!

11-29-2012, 08:12 AM
Like playing a fruit machine! Day one, using game cash I got 5 missiles, day two I got 4 using the free option. At this point I was ahead of my "2 a day" plan......now I've been trying mainly game cash for 4 days and get nothing most the times, no sign of a missile. Used gold to get a 100% open and got a ghost hound troop that died in next battle haha. What a false incentive :(

You say, "Gee, thanks, mister."


Looks like a few fellows are getting "lucky" These Funnzy riots may be having
some effect...suspected the tommie was a bone...well...perhaps a Tbone!
Unfortunately this little guy with an even littler allowance has only been able
to acquire 7 tommies...with his free and occasional fake cash hits...life just
isn't fair...why can't I be an older, richer fellow?

Got number 9 yesterday morning. After that I received a unit (supply frigate, mech rover, fortified sniper etc) every 4 hours.
Since this morning all I got was 'sorry, better luck next time'. So absolutely nothing today!! And I've opened a box every hour.
Let's wait and see what the last one will bring.............

Off course it's nice to get small unit's and the items for 3, 5, 7 and 9 tomahawks!:cool:

Of course a no gold player was stuck on #9 for days. How could I have expected to actually win a unit that would actually really boost my stats. It's no wonder that these types of games get a bad rap... Sad thing is, they know you'll try the next one, and the next one, and so on.
