View Full Version : Opening boxes?



KFH

Think I have tried to open 15 or so boxes with no luck. Anyone else having luck with the boxes? Also is there a established % difference between the free and paid, and how is that worked out.

I opened 2 of my first 3 with the 'Free' option

I think its all random, you must just have bad luck so far

I HAVE read on here that the percentage chance of opening a box by any method decreases the more boxes you have already opened (and gained the mission item).

Also, while Gold guarantees opening a box, it does NOT guarantee getting the item you want.

You could be at 9/10 and use Gold and get something like 1 extra ally.

I opened 4 boxes and got 4 sorries in a row. I'm gonna give up.. Since that I knew I'm not gonna even get more than 3 at this rate..

10 attempts, 3 opens, 1 part, 250k and 1 concrete
Awesome! I love dropping almost $200,000 an hour for nothing.

9. I'm sure I could have got the tenth if I kept at it, but I had limited gold and I wanted to get LTQ underway. Now, I bet I'm s.o.l.

Attack rivals or do missions

Been trying that and continuously do that after normal energy/stamina refill. My luck is that bad. :(

hoho.... you need to have high capacity stamina and/or energy. I personally use PVP, which requires stamina. It seems to drop more safes than missions. I used to your same problem until I raised my stamina over 20+. Sometimes it takes over 10 hits on a rival to get a safe and sometimes you get 2 safes in a row. Just depends.

hoho
04-21-2013, 06:16 AM
Thanks. I dont hv as much point, but i tried both attack n mission, and again after each refill and still no box and now i m a few more points to level up. Searching rival is another issue... Obviously this event is not for me.

I stopped attacking unless I am looking to steal money, since I get enough cases from doing the LTQ.

No matter what I try these crates won't open this round. Gree needs to fix the algorithm. Just retarded to have 100s of these crates and can't get them to open and the chip drop rate for me is .0156% with gold and cash.

Not buying any more gold for this ripoff.

I'm glad somebody is getting these things easily, I've been raiding and attacking constantly today and only managed to get two. Is there some kind of trick to get these things to drop that I'm unaware of.

got 150 of the damn safes but stuck on 7 chips since the first day. I think the secret is to get all 10 chips the first day. For each day after, the chances of an open safe giving you a chip diminishes rapidly.
Is anyone getting chips after the first day???

Actually, with all the free units being given away lately, it's more of a blip. But the energy increase is quite nice.

I have about 100 safes, but only 8 opens. I've gotten about 3 or 4 $80,000 bricks, 4 lame boats, and thankfully no ally's (thanks, now that's the next one). I won't ever do gold again. I did once and got $50,000 instead of opening the 10th chest. I think it's rigged. There's no way I go 4 for 8 in the beginning, and now go 0 for about 30.

Hey, don't give up. If you believe the toolkit, your chance is less than 10% for the tenth, but not rigged. I went 0 for 30 before the tenth. Always went for cash to increase the odds, never gold.

Nothing gets passed you! Of course it is rigged to get you to spend gold but that does not mean that some players get the 10th unit for free by just using free/cash opens. It is all in the algorithms and probabilities. Some players really want the +1 energy, so they are prepared to spend in order to get it. In the end it is your choice what you spend your hard earned cash on.

Instead of just saying "just got the 10th chip" (we congratulate you as we are sure you are very happy) can you please give further information. that is what this thread is trying to enquire. for example:
- Did you use gold or free play?
- How much gold?
- Was there a hold up on any particular number chip (example - im stuck on 7. is 8,9 10 quicker)?
- whats your level?
etc...

I tend to always get hung up on number 8 and 9 while opening every hour with in game cash only. I usually get to 8 or 9 in about 30 hours then stagnate. I was lucky enough to get ten just once about 6 or 7 months ago. Of course the unit stats back then were only 220/180 for the tenth reward prize. I thought I was living large that day, but now it is no longer even in my top 45 units with the new LTQs and stat inflation units in general.

And, had the last time it actually opened the 10th when I spent real $ for the gold open, I would probably do it again. However, knowing there's a good chance I'm more liklihood to spend $5 or $10 on more gold and end up with "500 VALOR!!!", I won't do it.

Anyone else seem to get a lot more sorry's this time. I use only cash opens and normally have 8 or 9 "chips" in the first 30 hours. This event I am getting sorry's at a rate of at least 2 for every open and its probably closer to 3 to one. I'm stuck on 7 chips and have gotten only a few other prizes. Maybe I am having bad luck, but have had two streaks of 6 straight sorry's with cash opens.

Same I'd normally expect to be on 7 or 8 by now but currently stuck on 6, it's either "sorry" or 100k (got 100k 7times so far...)

The last chest event I got at least 2 open boxes a day. this time I got to 7 chips and nothing for 2 days. If this is how it's going to be ill stop putting gold into trying to open chips and hold on to it not worth the 100k cash and the 10at 20 def units I'm getting.

04-26-2013, 02:31 AM
Does a Plus 1 energy unit really worth it???
+1 energy = 60 energy per hour = 1440 energy per day = 7200 energy per 5 day event (assuming the LTQ are 5 day events). This could potentially save 7 x energy refreshes which is 140 gold per event ( 7 x 20gold = 140).
its worth aiming for but not blowing the budget on it.

In my opinion it's worth it. Any unit with a bonus attached to it is worth it. In the future if you end up with enough units with say +1 energy then you could cut that down even more. This isn't the first time a +1 energy has been available in the game. So I like to get as many units with a bonus attached to it, they stack up, so I stock up!

BS This has happend more than once and this might be the straw that breaks the Psyco's back...I lose units 9 out of 10 times on attacks and raids to people with less than half my strengh and they rarely lose any...I cant boost of my stats cuz I lose to many units trying to make money...I lose gold my list is all screwed up...If I had all my att.and def. stats back I would be in not bad shape..But im better off talking to my coffee table than sending a email to Gree D!! NO SUPPORT NO REIMBURSMENT FOR THEIR MISTAKES AND THEY WONT ADMIT THERES A PROBLEM... told me the loss of units is universal BS if it was like that when I started I would have quit by lvl 3...and so would anybody else..it all started after the last faction event..I feel sorry for the people sinking their hard earned cash into this game ..but I can only say WHY SUPPORT SOMEONE THAT DOESNT SUPPORT YOU??? I would like to buy some gold but cant bring myself to do it I would feel like an idiot to support them its bad enough I am supporting them by playing this game!!!

Final update for me. After zero openings the first day, I figured would be lucky to get 7 or 9. It was looking pretty grim being stuck at 8 all day yesterday, then hit 9 before bed and by some miracle actually hit 10 this morning.

Weird, with the openings as they were but happy I got that extra bonus unit.

GREE, please get rid of the stupid block. That is NOT a reward, especially when you pony up 15 gold to open a box. I would rather you create a Gree avatar that shows up on my screen and kicks my avatar in the meat and two veggies, than give me the stupid block.
