I bet they reduced the chance to earn a sapphire.
Because I just got a sapphire from my first box. The prizes are pretty good! :)

Better quality units, with successful open that isn't sapphire, concrete, cash or extra ally. Don't recall exact stats, but a couple were triple digits.

does the chance of getting a box vary with what you attack...i find it very hard to get a jewelbox drop from raiding 1xp buildings..is it a higher chance with attacking stuff that gives more xp, or the same chance for all raids?

I do like the chance of getting a free chopper by opening a box. I don't like how I spent so much time and occasionally money with the past collect tens, only to get the prizes for free from LTQs. Oh well, the number ten prize looks epic, so I'll go for it.

Never spent a penny on these.

Worst, these prizes are more the a factor of 10 greater then a year ago, deflating the value of every unit we all have in inventory.

For the folks that spent gold over the last year to buy kick butt units that are appx 200 a/d, like my 1 ten prize, sorry!

Started 7/10 sapphires, now 8/30. They made the first 7 easy, then next to impossible to get the last three

cherlock
06-03-2013, 03:08 PM
already 3 in my faction have 10 now, only used cash( medium )
seems easy this time.
Maybe they pushed up the percentage a little more.( no Compu Gacha allowed anymore )
I myself have 9 since yesterday, have sea, so need it, and therefore likely will not get it.

Oh well, we'll see

Zedsdead
06-03-2013, 03:13 PM
I had nine with cash opens, decided I'd take a chance and got the tenth one with a gold purchase. While mildly pleased I got the unit, my overwhelming feeling was that I'd gotten my life back and won't be tied to this thing for the rest of the week.
Hmmm....

Congrats to all that have gotten 10 so far. I started out well with 8 on the first day. No sapphires since, and I stubbornly used some gold trying after 8. I know it is a waste using it on this type of event, I am just trying to burn through the last of what I have so I don't "accidentally" use it during the upcoming WD event as our faction is going gold free.

Well, i did some calc. and mine is definitely not working.
I have UK flag, maybe they dont stack


Also, already 6 of my 44 faction members have it now, with 2 days to go. none of them using gold, only medium option
Unthinkable 3 months ago.

They pushed up the percentage bigtime on this one, thats for sure.

So the next one will probably be very difficult ( =expensive for soft targets )

06-04-2013, 06:56 PM
Four members in my faction got the ship including me with cash opens..

Percentage opens pushed up massively or we have all been very very lucky, another 20 or so are also on 8 or 9.

I would say that I got caught on 7 for about 14 opens with sorry every time, then got 3 or 4 of the attack heli's as well.

Nice!

It depends on what percentage of sea units make up your entire defnce, remember there are 4 parts to defence, infantry, ground, air and sea and if you are stromg in the air, you won't benefit as much.
Other factors matter too like flag bonus, boost unist and faction boosts.

TW Turtle55555

I got my 10 early yesterday. Nice unit. But since I am heavy Ground it didn't have all that much of a boost for me.

BurnNotice69
06-05-2013, 06:19 AM
I've been stuck on #8 for a day & a half now. I keep getting the Vector Warship, 10 Concrete (I've got about 10 of these so far, why don't they count!?), cash prizes, 250-300 Valor. Honestly, I'm afraid to use any gold on this event simply because you spend 15 bars to reset the timer, then 15 more to open a chest (30 gold bars total) only to get 10 Concrete Blocks or one of the other prizes instead of a Sapphire.

One trick I follow, most of you may know, but some don't, if you collect your money from your money buildings, then attempt to open a chest BEFORE putting the money in the vault (ie: have exposed money), my chances of opening a chest have been greater. One tip: be sure you have enough exposed money to cover the cost of the chest. In other words, if you're a level 50, it will cost you $50,000 to open a chest, or if you're level 70, it will cost $70,000, so be sure to have at least that much exposed before attempting to open the chest.

There, I've done my good deed for the day!!

I've been stuck on nine gems for two days, I've never had ten in a collect ten event so I'm praying I make it for the first time.

I'm also using the British flag and have a naval bias to my number of units, so this would be a very welcome boost for me.

I've been stuck on #8 for a day & a half now. I keep getting the Vector Warship, 10 Concrete (I've got about 10 of these so far, why don't they count!?), cash prizes, 250-300 Valor. Honestly, I'm afraid to use any gold on this event simply because you spend 15 bars to reset the timer, then 15 more to open a chest (30 gold bars total) only to get 10 Concrete Blocks or one of the other prizes instead of a Sapphire.

One trick I follow, most of you may know, but some don't, if you collect your money from your money buildings, then attempt to open a chest BEFORE putting the money in the vault (ie: have exposed money), my chances of opening a chest have been greater. One tip: be sure you have enough exposed money to cover the cost of the chest. In other words, if you're a level 50, it will cost you $50,000 to open a chest, or if you're level 70, it will cost $70,000, so be sure to have at least that much exposed before attempting to open the chest.

There, I've done my good deed for the day!!



Stand on your left foot, wear your lucky underwear, do a 360, and before you get back to your startingposition on 0 degrees, press the medium option with 2 fingers at the same time.
Guaranteed succes

But, you probably know this trick too


o, and i have 10

I was stuck on 8 for 3 days. Then this morning I got the 9th and on my next try I got my 10th. I used no gold all medium chance. The two units are also my first units that have over a thousand plus points

Anyone else interested in having your timer reset when you level up? Why not? When you fight the boss and level your bar refills, same with being in a war, as well as the LTQ... so why not for the box events?

At approx 100k a pop (always middle button for me), I've been tickled by the items received or not as the case may be.....

Spend 100k to get a block of concrete
Spend 100k to get 60k (that always amuses me!)
Spend 100k to get "better luck next time"

Alright, I admit I've also recieved a couplt of T90's...oh happy days!:p

Seems to me it it worth to keep using the cash opens, the units you might get are pretty good.

I was on my 80th hour from number nine before the tenth. But I did notice that I got something every three tries, be it a nice unit, valor or money. I saw someone reference a smaller amount, but money was always $1.25 million, and counting back, I won enough money to pay for all he cash opens I did. Quite remarkable that the game was somewhat self financing.

Got ten and unit brings no boosts with it. Also why do folk cream over t90 tanks when you get that way better high stats chopper and the nice shop over 100 defence. I'm cash opens till it ends despite having ten already

Key wording in this post is "wasting my money". Save it for LTQ or boss events where you are guaranteed more than a bloody brick. Crate events are horrible but loads getting 10 sapphires with cash opens

It does seem as if there are loads of players getting the 10 sapphires using cash opens only. I have not heard anyone on here saying they got 10 while using gold. We have had several in our faction use lots of gold trying to get to 10 and not one of them, myself included, have gotten there. We have had many that have gotten it with only cash opens though. Sounds like a "competent" business model.

I have won the last five of these. No gold. Never spend gold on these. Exactly for what has previously been written: all it assures you of is an opening. Never assures you of the goal item. All I have done for the last 5 has been cash openings, every hour, on the hour, minus the openings I miss during 6 hours of sleep a night. This current one, I was on 8 for 56 hours. Lots of openings, lots of money/units/and concrete. Then, I got 9 and 5 hours later 10. I am not saying this will happen every time. It just takes persistence to get it (and some luck). You can't let it frustrate you. I am sure that is one of the points of it. Frustration = more loose with the gold spending. In the end, I guess, I am rambling a lot to say: Stay diligent and do not spend gold. Regardless of what it seems at the time.

Also, I don't know how much it matters, but I have never have more than 5 crates on me at a time. When I get to 7-10, I usually only have 2-3 boxes. Having a gazillion doesn't seem to help, and I wonder if it may hurt....Just a theory.

Also heard/read some theories about being over vaulted and never closing the program after the first opening helping. Again, just theories.

Zandeko
06-06-2013, 10:34 AM
Our theory is its level based, but who knows. I got it open with only cash and seem to be having an easier time with crate events.

My friend had to spend over 700 gold on his low level to get the 10th crate.

Philly982
06-06-2013, 11:01 AM
Zadenko, in your level based theory do you think that LLPs have a better chance at 10 than the HLPs. Our weaker non-gold players have been doing much better than our stronger gold players in the last four 10 crate events. Just wondering as ours is a small sample size.

I'm a LLP an been stuck on 9 sapphires since Monday night/tue morning about 2am.

Opened 39 boxes all with med cash and just get sorries mostly. Really..39 opens not 1 sapphire this has got to be a record.

I've tried over vaulting and keeping app open and even stood on left foot, wore lucky underwear, spun 3 times, and hit the open for cash button exactly when I blinked 3 times. This failed as well

According to the legendary forum hi-jacker once known as Bronson, you're supposed to press the open button with your left nipple.

Remember your probability is better than 1% but less than 2% for the 10th box. IE you have to open 100 Boxes before you break even with the odds.....keep going and the odds will be beating you :D

Also the left nipple trick bronson use to suggest works...just not for me

I do the funky chicken dance while singing Kylie Minogue's "I should be so lucky...". I've got 1 open so far, so I will have to add the nipple trick to my routine to increase my chances. It's going to be a very tricky and complicated routine, so don't try this at home!

At the risk of being shot down, this was much easier than previous collect ten events. Maybe a bit of a softener after the last LTQ was so rough on stats.

I got number ten this morning all on cash opens, no gold spent. I've never managed to get this many before using this method.

Congrats on getting the 10th & to others who just got it lately! It seems 65% here who got the 10 with cash only & 35% are still sad & stuck at 8th & 9th. Hang in there you got 5 & half hours to go & before i got it in the last couples hours of the event. Good Luck to everyone who still trying to get the 10th..!

06-07-2013, 07:04 AM

06-07-2013, 07:19 AM
For all you losing hope:

Like many, I was stuck on 9, using cash opens. I tried probably 10-12 times/day for 3 days, then finally got #10 today. I used only cash opens. Totally worth the cash spent.

You wouldn't believe it - I just opened mine and finally got the 10th! Like you said, I used gold here and there, to reset the timer and open it and was up to my last 20 gold getting annoyed and was thinking of buying gold so i could try and make it in the last 4 hours but glad I finally got it! I'm UK so the added bonus will be cool :)

I must say this has been a bit easier than the previous events they've had, not to say I'm complaining but definitely the previous ones were harder and I couldn't get past maybe the 5th gem and would have to spend so much gold that in the end I couldn't be bothered. I think what I liked about this event was the the units had higher stats than previous events and thought I'd just try my luck.

Oh happy day finally! :cool:

I feel your pain. Didn't get my 9&10 until I broke 80 opens. Ended up using about 15 gold refreshes with cash opens to get to 10. I am pretty sure 10 came out around the 90th open. Looks like it's going to come down to the last hour for you.

I got to number ten with a little over 100 total open attempts (used gold to open 10 and about 15 - 20ish timer restarts) Opened every hour on the hour and set my alarm for every two hours during sleeping hours to get in some extra opens. Coincidentally I never received a sapphire when using gold to open, and never had a successful open after a gold timer reset. All 10 sapphires were received after cash opens. Probably just a coincidence.

It's nice to see some folks got to ten with cash only, it's the only way to go with these frustrating box events. I only made it to 8 and went 0 for 60 on the ninth. Extremely low odds and that's only for the ninth box.

Did anyone else not get the 10% sea bonus after getting the ship? My defense went up the 3000 odd points from the ship itself, but i should have gone up quite a bit more than that. Even after i closed the app and re-opened, and several faction mates are reporting the same thing. Am i late to the party on this one, and its just another "oops, it was never meant to have this bonus" or what?

jjm521
06-08-2013, 02:18 AM
It does show up in my bonuses section, but the stats didnt actually work, similar to the +2 energy from the 2 planes in another event. Funny how they still show up making you think you have it, but in reality they dont work. I get around 70-75k def from sea, so my boost after getting this ship should have been around 10k+, yet i only went up the 3000 odd points. What the heck is going on here. And like i said, there were 6 or 7 others in my faction who got this and all went up only those 3000 points. This sucks.
