Am I the only one who feels like the scratchies have become less than pathetic, I haven't got a decent one in quite some time and I have also purchased over a 1000 if I had to guess and then there's my daily's I've had since it begun, I have never received 6 symbols either, on top of that I just scratched both of accounts and recieved the "Irish shooter" on both of them, coincidence or conspiracy? (Lol but seriously)

I got 50 respect yesterday, and it's been ages since I pulled anything of any actual use. I think you might be right.

How many times have you won the jackpot on a real life scratchcard ???

I think they should be improved inline with stat inflation, when they first came out a 3x scratcher was in the region of being a top respect point item.

You actually bought 1000 scratchers?

The Hectic One
04-09-2013, 05:04 AM
Yeah I've bought about 1000 over time, I only ever spend gold on scratchers they use to pay out far better than they do now, I've stopped buying gold and probably won't again

Great Input Jazza, Rarely!

Although there was a little more to my question and at the end of the day they're not real scratchers are they? Or do you have info I'm not privy to? I'm merely saying that perhaps the chance of winning could be altered slightly because at this stage I think it has begun to hinder their gold earning. All sweet with you and the boys in Manchester? Get a job at Gree yet?

Not only have you purchased scratchers with gold, but over 1000 times! Well done mate.

Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me a thousand times, I'm a tit.

I got four guns on today's scratcher on one camper and have gotten 250 and 500 respect points. On the other camper, I've gotten $100,000 (which should be three money signs) like 4 times in two weeks

I posted last night about a revamp of the scratchers in (if you could ask gree one Question)Mainly cause the Viking blade was sexy when I fist saw it but now it's lost it's appeal and doesn't raise my stats. I also said what about a syndicate scratcher for winning a fight. But to stay on course with this forum I got level 4 gun around the first of the year and nothing noteworthy on my camper, would lead me to believe something was changed

I got last week 5x cars. Got a yellow car I believe?? I've never gotten a 6x, but I have gotten several 5x. I got the Cash one twice, melee, and now the car.

Sometimes I wonder if QPR is a very elaborate turin test... the trick to creating simulated intelligence is to make sure the intelligence you're attempting to simulate is very, very stupid. I honestly can't tell if I'm talking to an actual person or a random text generator.

No offense, but can we leave this on topic? I'd like to know how many people have ever gotten 4, 5 or 6 of a matching item...and if the percentages declined...

Yes, people get them. You just get crappier scratchers as you level up.

Is it crappier ones or is it just that they aren't based on tiers? I mean, Flex Armor for my level 4 camper is a HUGE item. Flex armor for you may be a joke though. Maybe they should be based on tiers?

it's all down to luck since they randomly generated if you had ability know what time a particular type will 4 or 5 matching item you are lucky.

I concur, the scratchers have gotten worse, much more likely to get one or two matchers than before.

Several weeks ago, probably closer to several months ago, I got two 4x buttscratchers within just a few days of each other. I then posted a prediction that I would receive nothing better than a 3x for several months.

Prophecy has been fulfilled.

For the 4x scratchers, I've got:

3x Scorpions, 3x tiger, 1 fluid

plus the 2 5x scratchers.

That's not very good for a year and a half of gameplay, but I'm grateful for it lol

Might as well include my 3x items:

Black Bandit x8
ManSaw x4
Flex Armor x17
Scorpion x8

Yes I did buy that many scratchers and it has worked for me as more often than not 20 gold would get me a better weapon than what was available as a limited item but that has all changed, wasn't sure wether my luck had run out or everyone was noticing it. Either way it has paid off for me, I don't get attacked anymore but it would have been nice to be able to buy a few here and there but it doesn't seem worth it anymore. Tfletcher I agree, it could definitely use a revamp, I really don't need another scorpion knife :/

I agree, it seems like the percentages have been changed. I used to match 3 items on a somewhat regular basis. I have 14 Black Bandits, 17 Flex Armor, 19 Scorpion Knives and 11 Man Saws. But the past 2-3 months, I've seen almost all 2 items matched.

And will Gree ever change the cash amounts on these "wins"? I'd rather not win anything at all than be dissappointed with $10k. What a useless amount of money. $100K doesn't even buy anything and that is supposed to be equivalent to a 30/39 item or 1000 Respect?

I think that comes down to the fact that is should be set up by tiers. $100k to my camper at level 5 almost buys him another MT. However, it's a disgrace to my level 40...

Are you lot still going on about this scratcher nonsense? Get over it and be happy they are even giving you something everyday. Unless of course you are dumb enough to pay for thousands of scratchers.

The quality of scratchers dropped for me ages ago. I haven't scored a single 3x in the last several months. Not that I really care though, I'm more than happy to equip all of my mob with 2x scratcher rewards

They probably regret coming out with the program and are lowering the outcomes...better than taking them away..as one chance in a hellofachance million to get a 6 is better than a poke in the eye!

it shudn't be all on luck .. there shud be some promising factor .. like .. scratch 20 and get an assured fire monster (or other weapons) .. its just so gross that u open hundreds of scratchers and end up getting none 6x prizes except rp ..

Really? Because last time I bought 20 power balls I was garunteed that I was going to win the big ticket.

I love how no matter how dumb that idea is on its face, you still had to qualify it with "except rp". I take it you HAVE won the 6x rp prize? You know the odds of winning any 6x is about 1 in 8000, right? Bad enough that you feel entitled after buying "hundreds," but YOU'VE ALREADY WON!

What a whiner.

I created a camper account during the last boss event to test out how easy it really was for low level players. Now that I've been playing it for a while, logging in about once a day with occasionally misses, I've noticed another pattern. Scratchers are WAY better at lower levels! I've gotten about 4 or 5 4x prizes since starting in the last day of the last boss event. I've only got a total of THREE 2x prizes! I get a 3x almost every day! I'll leave it up to someone more mathematically inclined to come up with the actual statistics, but I don't think this is standard variance.

My last scratcher pull was a 5/6 ..not bad... I received a never used "dipstik fan club" t shirt... Complete with autographed photo... Excellent !!! I was super super excited !! I showed it off to all my syndicate brothers and sisters... They were sooooooo jealous.
