Got my 1st riffle. Hope I get to 20 this time

[BigMoney]

Completely nerfs the hell out of the last collect-20 items. Last collect-20, the prize for Top 250 was the Classic Roadster (1086/889)... which they then threw into the LTQ twice. The prize for #20 is better than the last collect-20's TOP250 PRIZE. That copper spindle event's prize for #20 was the Urban Air Recon, 510/418.

So ridiculous. No point in even bothering any more, just sit out a few collect-20s and when you come back, the prize for #5 will be better than your leaderboard prizes.

yeah the stat inflation is making the game absurd. what used to be a strategic game of sorts is now becoming a mindless hobby.

[bald zeemer]

What's odder is that they've made top 25 item useless. Leaderboard used to make enormous amount of gold, why nerf it?!

[Scarface78]

something is definitely wrong with this event:

1. Smuggled Rifle
2. BLNT
3. BLNT
4. BLNT
5. BLNT

I tested my connection every single time, traveling to another hood... it seems like I'm trying the 15th rifle, not the 2th...

[OffensivelyNamedGuy]

At least you got 1.. I'm all BLNT

With all this stat inflation, we are going to need bigger screens. Remember the days when 4 digit stats on an item wouldn't even fit.. Sato's Ancestral Blade--- 1.../700

[awts321]

i have a question

i have 21 Smuggler Crate .. then i open 1 crate .. the result is BLNT .. but my Smuggler Crate still 21 ? How does it work ?

[bald zeemer]

A successful open uses up a crate. Amongst successful opens you can get the item (rifle), or a range of booby prizes (some weak weapons, cash, or RP). An unsuccessful open produces a BLNT, which doesn't use a crate.

For clarity, a successful ATTEMPT will result in an open box, which will produce a variety of possible outcomes. Once a box is opened, it is consumed.

An unsuccessful attempt result in BLNT, and since no box was opened, you do not "use" any of the boxes you currently have.

:):cool:

[JonHanFord]

i got 1 rifle only out of 8 Crates Box ...

[Bala82]

Well 4 rifle in 6 open

[4Nik8R]

Not even close....0/9! I thought it was easier at start and worked progressed to more difficult. Its all about the gold

[budman68]

Cash opens 5 so far. A few blnt's.

[nytelock]

3 opens, 3 rifles so far so good.

[OneHoop]

For the record, they may have left the odds of getting a rifle the same but changed the rates on a successful cash open. I'm doing poorly on this one too, (2, 1, 0) on three accounts. But I haven't gotten any consolation prizes, just a lot of blunts. I'm still hoping to make it to 15, since the prizes for this one are SO great. I'm not participating in battle this time around, so I may just camp OT on my non-phone accounts--depending on what "Pay What You Owe" is... They overlap though, so it should still be possible regardless. So maybe I should say, depending on how unstable "Pay What You Owe" makes my older devices! :)

M@

Edit: Still getting a lot of blunts, but several rifles today, now up to (6,5,4)... and my first Deviant Coat! :)

[panty sniffer]

No Tyler Durden's in the top 25? FC sitting this one out as far as gold is concerned? Good move with the odds of opening being the worst I've ever seen for an open 20.

[BigMoney]

some of them changed their name.

I believe most (if not all) of them did. I don't remember a single TYLER DURDEN during the syndicate war.

Silent Assassins on the other hand, went the other way, and were almost all named "Assassin."

[GucciMane]

Good move with the odds of opening being the worst I've ever seen for an open 20.


Agreed. I'm still going for the 15 and 20 reward, but entering the top-25 or even the top-250 is an unreasonable goal for me.


I tried 3 gold opens just to see if it would be worth doing any more of them, and like the last event, they were pointless. Only got 1 rifle from it, then the 15/8 8/15 low tier items as usual.

In the last crate event I would spend gold for an open, get nothing, then 1 hour later come back and get the chinese blades with a cash open.

[panty sniffer]

* making a huge bowl of hearty BLNT style alphabet soup.

7 cash attempts today and not even 1 gun

You're in the same boat with everyone else as far as op 250,25, or first prize is concerned. Odds haven't changed from any other open 20 if that's what you might try to go for.

Think I'm gonna sue Gree for a new PC monitor " Sorry, Beter Luck Next Time" is starting to burn an image on it.

[bald zeemer]

I can assure you FC will be taking out this leaderboard as well.

If that is your approach I'd suggest top 25 will always be unreasonable for you.

Not saying it's right or wrong - just that if you don't have the willingness to burn a lot of gold, don't even try to touch the leaderboard events.

[potvin]

Why would they all change their names. The only logical reason would be because they cheat??? I dunno

[OffensivelyNamedGuy]

1/20 now.. This is getting ridiculous. What did they do, jack the stats and slash the odds?

Still stuck on 2 wtf

[Froddo]

Ok not funny... 3/22 tries

[Scarface78]

Ok not funny... 3/22 tries

yeah, between having a event with normal equip and normal chances and have a event with good equips but worse chances of get this items, I choose the first one... it's really annoying get just BLNTevery hour.... last crate event was a lot better than this one...

[Scarface78]

Let me tell you something, last 20 open crate event, one of this "TYLER DURDEN" got the 1st place. Ok, so far is normal, they always did this. But what I feel very, but veeery suspicious, is that the second place (yeah, tyler durden again), got half opened crates than the firs place.
Ok, what is the point, spending gold bars, to open this ammount of crates, 200+ ahead the second place? its a lot of real money we are talking about, usually a person with the minimum common sense could be 10 or maybe 20 crates ahead the second place, but 200 ?????? It's really real money we are talking about?

Having a large crate lead discourages others from making a run at the top spot, especially considering the leaderboards freeze for the last hour. It's the same thing FC does in syndicate events-- get a huge lead to start with, which basically says "we have the gold to stay in first and we're willing to spend whatever it takes to stay in first, so save your money and settle for second."

Lastly, "a lot of real money" to you might not be a lot of real money to someone else.

True, but he could discourages others with much less than 200 opened crates...

I don't know, considering you need use 30 gold (15 for reset times + 15 trying opening) each time, and that he not always will get a item from the crate.. 100 opened crates could cost + or - 4500 gold bars... yeah, you right again bigmoney, 600 usd is not too much to show off and rub in the others face... its a waste of money, but either way, its not a lot lol :P

[bald zeemer]

4500 is 3 vaults. For the record big gold spenders don't buy their gold in whatever the other quantities are. That's not even mentioning bonus program effects.

13 rifles, two gold mis-click (cash option but gold lost, no rifles dropped), ticket sent

I had a misclick but where I clicked "cash open" and nothing happened, so I clicked it again, which then reset the timer after my case open. Two BLNTs for the price of 15 gold. :(

But you're not supposed to have gold anyway, what are you doing with gold in your inventory.

I'm assuming it's her free 50....

With all the scandalous behavior of SAS, HCG, FC and the Injuns.....If Alice is buying Vaults, I don't think I will be able to take it.

[c00guy]

Hey what's the min level for the crate event?

[JonHanFord]

Hey what's the min level for the crate event?

maybe i think , level 10 ?

[Steve0]

Still stuck on 2 come on!

[JonHanFord]

6 Rifles .. and i think i got BLNT with 15 Consecutive cash opened :(

[Icecauldron]

Is cash deducted for BLNT? It is happening at least for me?

[bald zeemer]

Yes, you use the cash regardless of result.

[Icecauldron]

Yes, you use the cash regardless of result.

Thanks BZ.

[Alice]

got 20, but not without gold, for three times I lost gold by hitting cash option...don't know what's happening but surely it's not misclick every time. Tickets sent....

[N41LZ]

I miss NTM

[Dipstik]

Oh wow... Alice got 20... Color me surprised!

I got six.

[jmeijer]

Got 18 without gold. Hope to get 20 before the event ends.

[Alice]

so there are two top one, both sitting at 391 for a while, who is gotta win? or both?

[Alex_]

Its says in the info page The event gets harder as you progress. Does it then become easier to collect Rifles once you hit 20 like at the start?, or does it stay the same chances as no.20 or still continually get harder each one you get ?

Just wondered cause I've never bothered to go past 20 and some people are on 'a lot'.

[Yslimi]

I collected 11 total and took me a lot of tries. Why is it so difficult to get it open but a lot of sorry, better luck next time

[Illuminati]

Anyone know if overtime still works for these collect X events?

[BigMoney]

Anyone know if overtime still works for these collect X events?

Well, I tried it, got two case opens, declined an android dataset update, and shortly thereafter the game crashed and restarted to end overtime.

So maybe.

[Dipstik]

It works. Although another app decided to jump to the front all on its own and screw me up. dammit.

[Smoothie]

36 blnts in a row. All with cash. Managed to get a deviant jacket in overtime.... Yay.... Got 9 in total. This event sucks and I'm sure something's up with the open rate. On the first day I got 1 and then 11 fails alternating cash and free.

[panty sniffer]

36 in a row has to be bad connection.Travel to a hood or attack someone before opening.

[Illuminati]

Well, I tried it, got two case opens, declined an android dataset update, and shortly thereafter the game crashed and restarted to end overtime.

Bah nevermind...was stuck on 14 and was hoping to get the 15th in overtime for the yacht but the game crashed.

[Julian80]

So who ended up winning the big prize? Last I checked "h" and "Great White" were tied at 391.

[iteachem]

Both did .... A tie
