View Full Version : Bad luck...or...

So I figured I would give this collection of white gold a shot.. only collected 18 bags total, 17 of which I managed to cash open. However, only 8 were "white gold" (funny name btw). Looking at the leaderboards, many have hundreds already...wow. At this rate I would have to open 400 bags to get 200 white gold. My question is is everyone getting white gold half the time with a lot of filler crap or is my luck down so far? Thanks all.

I've had a horror run with this too. I've tried about once every hour And opened 6, that's right, just opened and getting stuff. I have 3 white gold total. I was using the medium chance selection.

I have got 4 white gold, just using the free option as the units are fairly useless.

Holy crap 8 allies! I thought I did bad on the last box event with 3 allies.

I can't give the details yet since the details haven't been finalized, but we have a planned improvement to the loot tables regarding the allies/concrete. That won't be this event though.

Sooooo....the reports of your demise were premature I see! Great!

Anyhow, I've got 13. One indestructible (at least I think it is), and one concrete. Got 158 in waiting....

there are 4 names on there that are all just different capitalizations of the same name. either that dude spent ungodly amounts of gold on this event (with meak prizes at best) or he is one of those we do not speak of.

Just as an update...23 open, only 9 white gold. Many 100 valors, $60k, units, concrete, and other crap. Probably my worst collect event odds as far as opens besides collect 10

no more counting, this time really s***. just 6 open for two days now. 3 indestructable units, not worth talking about the stats, and 3 allies. - oh almost forgot the concrete! (shame on me)

remember this one from another thread (not my pic but i assume i may use it again):

allies should be one you can use above and beyond the level cap IMO

Finally had a streak of three white gold, I'd do with the guerrilla wheels bit I wanted the guerrilla wing :(

I never use gold for these events. But those in the top. There is NO WAY they spend money to get there. IMPOSSIBLE. I make a decent amount of money irl, i'm building my own house in a private gated community, and I would NEVER spend that kind of money required to open that many boxes

to be honest though i am not THAT upset about this event for 4 reasons

1) the prizes suck for this one
B) i hate leaderboard events
Tres) that's three in spanish
4) the prizes suck for this one...

I like this idea, either this or perhaps we can get a switch to turn them on or off without having to lose them. Would make dropping allies a strategy again and suddenly grunts would have value.

Yes I agree, I just think its funny that for the same effort on collect 10 events I can get 8-9 and on these leaderboard events where they are supposed to be easier to recieve I can usually get between 9-12. O_o

The current top 10 in the auction event have each opened over 700 bags each, so yes, you would expect them to have the number of white gold they have.

I only ever use the free option for these crate events.

So far TC snr has 6 packs of Columbia's finest, while TC jnr is crawling all over the ceiling having found 10 - all for free!

I've got 16, all cash out of 70 tries or so. 2 units, 10 allies and some money, I think the open success rate was 33%, but unlikely to get to 20.

12 open so far, 2 indestructible and 4 allies. I also got a concrete and it gave me 10 of them, this was a nice surprise. Did anyone else receive 10 concrete for just one box opening?

10th white gold finally done, seemed easy to get others but 10th was a bit of a bummer! Maybe hope for 15 but there's no way!:D

Nice, and good luck...I had 9 white golds with 2 days to go so I figured I could too...17 opens since, only 2 of them white gold...
