And i really hope that i won't have to spend 1000 gold to get the last bearer bond, or key in this case...

Why do you say that?

It is hard for the genuine players to compete with the gold cheaters with the leader board :(

Yeah, the auction events blow if you're not willing to pump a decent amount of gold into them.

I wonder what will happen to all those key cases I got during the leather case event.

MrL
04-06-2013, 12:02 PM
Another reason - the rewards are not great!!!!!

i normally get 9 (sometimes8 and sometimes 10) in other events. cash only.

but never hit 15 in key case event.

Absolutely the worst one out of all.

Drop rate of 10th is about 2% with cash only, if you use gold, the drop rate may be lower. Usually it'll take more than two days from 9 to 10. It's difficult, and our members are getting better performance of such 10 box events.

After I've determined to get to 20, I always make it. Usually I'll need one more day in OT to get all 20.

Go ask GREE if I did use any gold in these events, this is the only way to prove. (And forget about all screenshots you've mentioned, you can always claim that I bought gold and used them in between each screenshots.)

And no key events threads this time? Currently sit on 6, will have to make 20 before deadline this time, or just quit for syndicate war.

Aren't the briefcase event, bullet case event, and key case essentially the same event with different namings? And 10 vs 20 cases needed?

04-07-2013, 12:26 AM
I'm not participating in this event anymore. I've got two keys that were hard enough to get, but Gree can keep the rest. I might actually decide to just stop with collect-20s altogether.

Bring on LTQs, Gree!

MoarKrabs
04-07-2013, 01:45 AM
These leaderboard events aren't even worth it. You'd be damned fortunate if you can hit 10 items with cash opens only. Man, I miss those turf war events.

If you got the cases, why wouldn't you play every time you log on? It's not like the cash option is expensive. Chump change in the grand scheme of things. Two or three clicks can't be that difficult.

dudeman
04-07-2013, 10:07 PM
If you don't like the event, why would you encourage Gree to keep running it by participating? I'm not calling for a boycott or anything, but if people stop participating (or paying) Gree will notice and either tweak the event so it can actually be enjoyable, or scrap it and try something new.

The next new thing they haven't tried in CC yet are LTQs. We have a pretty good idea that they are coming, maybe Gree will make that feature a priority if it becomes clear enough that these auctions are less enjoyable each time they show up.

Edit: BTW, I just finished a full day of not even opening the event page. I'm serious, Gree can just take these unplayable leaderboard events and sit on them. Rather than tweak them to be impossible to get even four event items per day, they can scrap them and get moving with showing us the LTQs.

This key case is hardest to open among the other previous collect 20 events........
Not even getting junky item except the BLNTs............
Why gree making it so hard.... even the first day was tough which usually is not the case in such events......
:confused:

Alice
04-07-2013, 11:45 PM
sitting on 8, indeed hard, but enough time to go for 20

the_brein
04-08-2013, 12:02 AM
I'm chillin on nine opens on two accounts. Why not? Free stuff. I'm still low enough level to benefit from the junk prizes they randomly throw in. I'm not gonna dump any gold in to this, but it is nice to have something to fill the time before the next event.

Fatherllama
04-08-2013, 12:17 AM
I've gotten about a dozen BLNTs and only one key thus far. Not sure I'll even try to go to 10 this time.

changing to 14 now, BLNT

TZora
04-08-2013, 10:23 PM
about 30 opens by now (maybe more) .. 90% 'better luck next time' .. i would have easily made it in the top 25 for collecting BLNTs :p

edit: just tried again and +1 blnt .. this thing is just getting better lol

alice trick work fine !

Then tell me what is this trick because already tried 4 times today, got 3 BLNT and 250 RP. Tried 24 times (total) to get just 1 key...

PS: I think GREE could just give crap items instead BLNT, at least you win something for your participation on event... its annoying wait a hour to get just a BLNT...

MrSpidey

I didn't get any keys while spending ingame money after the first day! :)

04-09-2013, 08:27 AM
Day 1 - 10 keys, day 2 - 1 key, day 3 - 1 key, not looking good, wondering if I can even make it to 15?

Have you noticed that you might be getting the old event leather briefcases instead.
this and the last event gave opposite cases. Was thinking of trying for the leaderboard top 25 but the lousy 1 keycase every 6-10 leathers has fugged that. Also maybe the leaders have a special android to get them to that lofty hieght that they are at. lol

bald zeemer
04-09-2013, 06:40 PM
Or maybe they PvP constantly to get a stream of cases, and open constantly to get a stream of keys.

The pointy end of the leaderboard is hard work.

I got a sneaky suspicion it will. This event went off without a hitch. Gree gave 50 gold to smooth things out for the last couple events being a little whacky. I think they got it figured out.

I also think Gree was knew that these past few events would be a little screwy, but it would be best to just let them play out. Less work...

there is enough time for the last key before the new battle...and yes I will quit for the new battle even if I have to end up with 19

I must admit that I was wrong. A few days ago during briefcase event, while nothing but key cases were dropping, and I was getting extremely frustrated; I said it wouldn't be so bad if I thought I would ever see the key cases. I seriously doubted I every would. Well I must eat my words now because as soon as the key case event came up there were ten already waited for me. I must give credit when it is due.

Spending cash and gold on this event to get at this amount you have to use a bit of gold. Just look the Number 1 he might have spend a real 1000$, FC are incredibly rich in IRL to afford that much GOLD XD knowing thateven with gold you might not get a key for each box opened so gettin 400 you might have to open a thousand box so by calculating 15 gold per opening plus about 400 time jump of 15 gold that would make a worth of 1399,86$ IRL in four-five days.

I love the speculation. Yes we spend a lot but honestly it is fun. And if you take into account the time we spend playing the money isnt a lot.

Its just some theoric number, but still that a good load of cash. I could even find the real stat if I can get the mathematical algorythm of the event of the further you go the harder you get a key, so basically its could be around 3000$. The first number was the amount of cash I ear on my last job for 2 week 90hour. So for me its a good piece of cash I wouldn't easily throw in a game.

Kidkiller
04-11-2013, 05:28 PM
I woul suggest to GREE to make a 1/10 for the free option on case opening, 1/2 for the cash option and keep the 100% for the gold spender. I'm not sure if the cash option isn't already 50/50 , so far seem that its a 1/3 or 1/4. Anyone know the real rate of the cash option.

It doesn't promise a key. It promises a successful open. That means you could get mafia members, cash, carnival sledgehammers, trick razors and so on. You're promised to get something everytime you open with gold.

If I'm currently in the Top 250, how much do I need to worry about a huge push of users using a ton of gold opens at the last minute? How many more tank keys above the threshold for Top 250 do I need to sit comfortably with 2 hours left?

that depends on where you're at in the top 250? I'd take the lowest to get in and add 5. With that, based on last time, you'd be fine...

They normally do it in the last hour.

They often do it periodically throughout the event, too.

Plus it is routinely about 10 minutes behind.

I easily understand Gold is a must in the game so the game can continue.

But what not fair to the players of Crime City is that you have to use Gold on almost everything to win a top prize like in Box event.
When playing Case event Gold is just a must if you want get anything else than the common prizes, witch fast can be a high amount. Least like this Case event to!!

What I see is everything gets harder to finish and that means also more Gold witch can't be right with 1.5 whole event every month
