That's genius. I got the first 4 straight away, 5 was harder, 6 took a while, and that's where I am. They trick people into believing that if you get 5 or so you can easily get 10, and therefore spend gold in a frenzy. Good job!

I haven't seen a thread like this for a long time. Yes, the chance of a successful opening decreases along the way.

Of course the odds decrease but I've completed the last two they had. The tessla car and getaway car I think? And usually a Lil gold at the end gets you the home run. I dropped a good 50 gold but IM trying to sit back now since I still got a couple days

I use gold every time and have been stuck at 9 for about 36 hours now....

But another player in my syndicate got #10 with both his main and his mini!! What are the odds??

So far nobody else in my syn got 10....

11-10-2013, 06:16 PM
People on the forum (with androids or jailbroken iphones I assume) used to post the odds for the 9th and 10th items as defined in the data file. Is that still a thing?

The 10th one is tough but possible. It was about 50-60 plus attempts before I finally got the last one.
I have heard a few lucky people got it with only a few attempts.

I got to 9 with only 300 gold. I've been stuck on 9 for 2 days now and have used about 2k in gold without any luck to get the tenth. This is really annoying. I guess I can add collect 10 and collect 20s to my list of events to skip in the future.

Just got 10/10 without gold (1 accidental refill) after being stuck at 9 for over a day. Using gold on these events only gets you more rubbish in your invertory you're never going to use anyway.

Nice try but not true. I've hit 10 a couple of times without gold. The chances heavily decrease after 7 and get worse after 8 and 9. Not impossible. You're just pretty unlucky right now! Good luck on getting #10!

I'm on 8 with no gold used.

i got to 9/10 VERY fast. I probably only got 4 of the terrible consolation prizes haha Getting that last one was brutal though. I opened at least 40 cases. A syn member recommended that after each unsuccessful open i completely close the game and reopen. It worked for me. Could have been random but worth a shot.

Exactly, there's no point in not doing the case events when you can do them for free and complete it.

Appreciate the heads up but deff not surprised figured most get 10 cases had close to that % chance of getting #10. Advice, never spend gold on anything that has to do with gree and chance only on something that u actually calculate. Never gamble with gree u will always lose

You are actually having extremely good luck opening crates if you have opened 60 for free. I have never come close to this.

The odds say 9 is coming soon. ;)

They should make a bottom saying that, alternative make a roulette wheel where you spin it, and then it says how much gold they will take from you to get all ten.

I started and finished with gold. Took me 20.00 worth of gold roughly. After i got 9 i tried two an hour apart then reset timer and opened again.... Voila. Did u see that unit... Worth it.
Theres very little u can calculate with gree except how many hundreds of gold it will take to finish ltqs. For my money this is worth the CHANCE to drop 20 bucks and take my time opening them one at a time.

I got frustrated after spending about 1000 gold trying for #10 (after I had 9) and quit even trying to open all day yesterday. Then thought I'd try again last night and got #10 and the prize with my first attempt back...

Now here's the kicker: before and after screenshots showed my stats going from 2.73M atk / 2.73M def to 2.79 atk / 2.80 def. The prize supposedly has a 5% melee attack bonus, so how in heck did my defense go up more than my attack??

And the item has more defense than attack.

got mine yest, but didnt hardly miss 4 hrs in total box time overall, missed 3 hrs once an 1hr once, all free openings (cash) till i hit 8 an put 220 gold on to finish. got to 7 fast mind and mate done it yest all free openings but we were only 2 in syndicate, ev else got 8/9. i will say i only got 2 prizes in total last 24 hrs but i finally had a good kip an missed 8/9 of them, but all SBLNT's.

You are correct, I do.

Guess I just expected the attack to go up more with the additional 5% melee bonus but I'm not complaining in the least. I feel fortunate to have received it at all otherwise would have wasted a lotta gold lol.

11-12-2013, 09:03 PM
Yea, i spent about 50 bucks or more trying to get the final case. Big rip off to say the least. I know many people who spent a vault or more. Congrats to the fortunate ones who got it in time with or without gold. I have never seen a collect ten be so hard towards the end. I always got the item providing i spent gold.But i will likely retire from this mobile app (boo-hoo). Getting too greedy. Too many unhappy players constantly filling the forums with complaints, and alot of syndicate members thinking of or have already thrown in the towel. Game used to be fun. Now its strictly business...
I'll throw down another vault in this war but most likely will be it.
