View Full Version : New LE Set: 2/2 to get a bonus

Hey all,

I've had some questions from people individually through tickets and forum PMs on this subject, and we want to let you all know about it.

There was a bug with the last LE set where only 2 of the 4 needed to be purchased to get a bonus unit. That being the case, we opened this set up so that everyone could take advantage of that same deal this week.

For future sets, we're going to continue to experiment with the bonus (it may go back to 4, it may be 2 ,or something completely different down the line), which is pretty exciting.

-CJ

That's great... Thanks CJ. As soon as I get my bonus gold I will be sure to get some.

Can you please Claryfy if different levels have more chance of getting rares. Someone level 110 got 40 and not one rare. Where as someone level 46 got 4 and got 2 rares. Cheers for info though CJ.

Thanks for the info....however, it doesn't seem to let you purchase the LE units on Android, either through the individual unit pages or through the Specials tab when you click on the question mark icon. Screen just gets dark.

Yep, that'd be mine too :)

It's just random, so are the crates. Since there's no "guaranteed after you get X", it's possible to get a long string of commons as some long tail bad luck. But by the same token it's possible to get a long string of rares due to good luck. We just don't get many as many questions about it when the second one happens.

The Android Bonus UI broke at pretty much the worst possible time. We're working on a fix, but in the meantime you can still get the bonus unit by purchasing the two Limited units with the little ? symbol on them, the Trebuchet Attacker and the Light Infantry. The bonus item won't pop up, but it will be deposited into your inventory; log out and back in and you'll see either the Onyx Recon Chopper (uncommon, air), Dune Trooper (common, infantry) or Fighter Wing Carrier (Sea, rare) in your inventory.

I know that's not ideal, but it works.


Thx CJ, I thought it was a bug.

Yeah, we don't want anyone to think this one is a bug.

We're actually really sensitive to the various balance factors. We tried for instance with factions to make them something that everyone in the game could get some awesome use out of, and I think when you guys see the WD reward spread (all I can say from looking at it earlier is "wow") you'll see how far we're going with that.

Plus this is just a good deal for anybody, you don't have to grab a ton to get a significant boost.

Cheers for info though CJ.I went ahead and bought ten sets for now. I got two rares and three uncommons. I've bought over a dozen at times without receiving a rare(and a few of my allies bought over a dozen of the same set without a rare as well). I've also only had to buy one set before to get a rare.

Anyone else notice the units in the crates? Are those correct? A rare with only 95 attack and 41 defense? An uncommon with only 29 attack and 25 defense?

@Flash - That Churchill II at 29/25 sure struck me as pretty darn common. Barely better than the common Striker Jet in the same set or the Abrams M1 that you can get for 1.4m. Has to be a mistake.

If you are on Android data set 20130107_4 (open up the About menu to check) it shouldn't be. Like I said above, Android has an LE UI issue right now, but you can and will still get a bonus item just for buying the two LE units with the ? on them from the store menu. You may need to log out and back in to see the change.

My data set is 20130108_3 after the update a few moments ago. But I bought them separately and logged out, and SHAZAAM....the bonus was in my inventory. Hell yeah.

Since the UI is bugged on Droid, is it possible for someone to list the atk/def stats of the 3 Bonus units just so I can determine whether or not it's worth it to purchase a few LE sets? Because if the items are relatively similar to the ones in the new crates, then it may not be worth it.

Not much in there for Germany is there? Mind you, the last LE set rocked for those with the German flag - bit of balance I suppose.

CJ, thanks for the info. These 2 for 2 low gold price plus bonus LE's are great for the light gold users. I used some of my hard earned tapjoy gold to buy one set. I of course got the common as a bonus but that's not a surprise.

I just tried 11 attempts on the 2/2 LEs and got 3 rares, 3 uncommons, 5 commons.
I was very satisfied.
I'm lvl52 and currently boosting my money buildings, not gonna lvl.
Been playing for 3 weeks only and I have ATK 13K and DEF 14K.

I hope to join a top faction for the war, please send me your faction code, thanks.

1 set, 1 common, done, I have had zero luck with this game not about to keep shelling out.

EDIT:

Knowing my luck cant be that bad, I bought one more, I got an uncommon, thinking that i just might get one of each i got another set and got a rare. Pretty happy now.

So out of 3 sets i got one of each.

Reboot MW then go to your player profile and you will see the stat boost and the bonus units in your inventory.

I have a ticket open since 12/25 and still not received my vault of Gold that came out cash. I have spent over 700 in a month and a half and have put buying on hold till it is resovled. How long does it take to have tickets resolved for money purchases? Also, how long does it normally take to get the bonus as that occured on the 25th as well. I have a feeling I will not be able to participate in this nice gesture due to the time it takes to resolve issues regarding cash purchases.

Give it a few days and hopefully, they'll get back to you. Good luck.

I had the same thing happen to me on 12/24 and still have not received the gold or cash! I,ve sent tickets, pm'ed CJ and now feel as though I'm being ignored.

I hope your case doesn't prove to be as futile, please keep us updated.

Maybe the next set will have the same offer. GREE probably looking at the generated revenues and if greater than without the offer they might continue with it. Who knows!

The LE set is no longer available; we're working on the next set. Not sure yet if it is going to be a 2 or a 4 or what, but as I said earlier we'll continue to play around with the bonuses.
