After two days of trying to complete the lock box event using cash. I have been on 9 for two days. Today I tried using Gold. After $60.00 in gold still no unit. Is there any reasonably smart person who runs a business capable of understanding how this makes sense. Is the unit even worth $60.00? Watch this thread, I have a couple of more tries and then I will post a picture of my deleted game board for the rest to see. Its just time to find a better way to spend money than better luck next time messages.

Maybe you should change the message to Ha, Ha Ha, or ROFL moron.

Gree it might be better if we had some understanding of what the percentage is. Am i suppose to spend another $60 and then update my total here to $120. Must be hard giving away something that costs nothing.

Soon to be a happy non-customer......

I laughed at "ROFL moron."

After being stuck on 9 for the last 3 days, I share your pain. But its cool, its just another nail in the cc coffin for me.

I'm stuck on 9 from last 2 days aswell. You need helmets or cycles? I've got plenty. :p I don't think GREE is ever going to give me the 10th shoe.

I've seen people use over 3k gold and still not get #10.

If you really spent $60 on this, you kinda deserve the ROFL MORON message.

These are random. That means you're literally gambling with your money...except you're not winning any money if you get lucky, just stats.

This is their way of getting their money back that got refunded from having bad programming that dropped extra loot during the raid boss when everybody go their refunds.

Been stuck on 9/10 since the FIRST day with 2 accounts, so infuriating. I've been opening one every hour on the hour and no luck. Gree hates me :(

I thought that the drop rate was 3% for #9 and 2% for #10, but I can be mistaken. I definitely read it somewhere, didn't the Billionaire write an analysis about it? Anyway, I spent 2500 gold to get to 9 on the first day, and I got the 10th with a cash open.

I am stuck on 9 for 4 days I used 700 gold then realize it's a waste of gold and I stopped it.

Got 9 yesterday morning and got 10 about 2 hours ago. Spent maybe $30 bucks on it tops.

I just got another Turkey Shooter. Is it 2% using Guaranteed opens? Here is the before image.

If you open a case and not get a blnt you have a 2% chance of getting the final item

Just play for free... I got my 10th easily without any stress or money wasting! Idk why everyone complains when you can just stop spending gold, it makes sence with gree's reputation on events!

Seems likely that they zapped the open rate on #10 for this event. Is it possible to determine probabilities from the game data? We've had 2 guys spend 1 and 2 vaults, respectively just trying to get #10. They're still trying.

The random number gods hate me too, many days, much gold, no #10

How does it make sense that my mini account went 10 for 14 on opening boxes with no gold and getting the final prize and my main spent 2 vaults the last day and didn't get the final prize. Might I add I was on the 9th within the second day of the event.

Spent 300 gold on 1st 20 opens, got to 8 with that. Ended up with 9 in the end, knew I would never get 10, so for my 300 gold spend, quite happy with my little boost.

yea a lot of peeps in my syn got 9 with 3 days left and never got the 10th. well played gree.

Like previous events with these cases I spent vaults to only get to 9. I then decided to never again spend on these random events. So for case open events no gold here and I got number 10 with just under a day left. Totally random

Heres your answer dont spend any money on gree games when it comes to chance. Unless u can calculate exactly how much u have to spend for what u will get dont do it because gree will screw u every time

it's just a matter of luck with this event, i don't use gold at all, and i got my 10th with 1 day and 10 hours left :D

Like a lot already mentioned here, it's all about luck.
I also was stuck at the 9th for 2 days. In the last half an hour of the event I used 90 gold (3 tries) and the 3d try gave me the 10th item. All about luck....

As much as I felt like throwing a temper tantrum for spending 900 gold and still not getting 10 while others got it for free, the gold opens gave me a lot more consolation prizes than free users were awarded with.

Nice stat boost with minimal XP gain. Thanks Gree for losing the trick razors and other worthless junk. Much better than using gold on specials and crates also as far as stat gain per gold spent.

This is a good point that the complainers are forgetting. I noticed that the "junk prizes" were much better this round.

I have a main account, 2 powerful mini's and an Epic Boss destroyer sitting on tier 1 standstill in wait.

The destroyer got 10/10 with 2 days to go for free - didn't really need it.

The other 3 blew shedloads of gold until totally expended on the final day only to stay on 9/10.

Gotta laugh at myself for being so stupid rather than castigate the masters of income collection - LOL

Smokin - but your forum interjections are sometimes sharp, sometimes incisive, sometimes crap. All 3 would would be sorely missed.

Because the success formula is something like

((1/(Gold on hand +1 * Total Gold Ever Spent * Cases Collected))/2)*(X-Y)^2
where X is the total number of items to collect and Y is the amount successfully collected so far.

And that's if you're using gold to open the cases.
