If you think I can possibly collect 2,000 packages and still be able to spend time with my family, you are pushing your luck. Monetary commitment is one thing, time commitment is another.

If I can barely collect 4 packages in 30 attacks, how many attacks will it take? 15,000

Either lower the collection amount, or increase the drop rate.

Yours,

Something is wrong, I agree with fl@sh :)

Seriously, this is rediculous and buggy already....

Agreed, back of a serviette calculations show that this will need 14-15k PvP attacks or raids, you could probably lower that through PvE use. To make matters worse, it's not the total amount collected, it's the amount that you currently hold, so every one that you open counts against your total. Genius indeed!

I'm seriously starting to wonder whether the developers of this game are from Earth. Anyone else agree with me here?

they tink ppl who play here doesnt have families (no time for them).

About drop rate dont know yet, last times I've gotten usually to 500+ unopened and that for totally free playing. Hope they didnt screw this drop rate too....

They want gold for stamina and box opens, then they want you to spend all of your time trying to get a box.

The fact that one screen says u need 10 pies to get the Valkyrie and the other says 25. Another simple QC cock up.

This is beyond a joke. Had it been reasonable, gree could have maximized their money. Instead, most will not even try EXCEPT the hackers who have unlimited stamina. Oh and btw, the xp gain will be insane...

115 attacks/raids showing 7 packages after opening 1........and one of those was pre-staging a map character with energy.......will be lucky to get to 300

That's as good as mine, 150 and 4 packages I have 6 with 6 attacks

not sure if I am extremely lucky or what, but I have a drop rate of about 30%, i have 30 packages now (gold free), my back of the envelope calculation is that if you want to gold this it will cost you about 1000 gold for the 2000 packages, how much the 25 pies will cost i dont know, but a lot

this should be fun when some people win the plane for 10 pies and others have to do 25

Luuzer
11-23-2013, 02:01 PM
not even gonna start it with my mini. Even old times on ipad was drop rate 10x better than on android...and on android even with that crappy drop rate half of the crates where gone/not counted at all :( so this time dont wanna think even about it. Not a big loss for greedy gree, I dont give them money anyway

You don't get the panne for 10, I've opened 11. The goals screen still says 0/1.

The drop rate for the packages is lower than 1:10, maybe 1:15? But the open rate is higher.

Right on the money with the xp. Assuming a 10% drop rate from attacks, you'd need 20,000 attacks to complete goal. Now let's assume each attack nets 15xp average. 15 x 20,000= 300,000xp. How many levels do you think that is?

Don't know if this has been mentioned before ....
My drop rate is a lot better on attacking targets on the maps rather than attacking pvp

Mr.Grumpy
11-23-2013, 03:22 PM
what map targets do you guys use? any variation in drop rate depending on the targets?

Guvidu
11-23-2013, 03:28 PM
Mr grumpy, i went through 4-500 energy on the insurgent map (targets that required 10) and got none. Bigdoguk, you should join the faction in my signature :P :)

why attack? raiding money works also ;)

Drop rate for attacks is averaging 16.67% for me. Much better than the 3.2% I'm getting from raids. Didn't calculate drop rate per attack for map targets, but I managed 6 packages with my 4,340 energy on a variety of maps.

I think it's collect first and use gold open on the last day. Then again, who in their right mind would want to collect that many boxes? I'm dropping this event from my gold use. That's the silver lining from this event I guess.

Seriously gree, thank you for driving me away from purchasing anymore gold. Lol

I happened to have wow just wow moment :D

so I use money openings all the time (middle option). so last crate events U get 500 000$, 1,25 mil etc but this time...I waste quarter of mil for opening and what do I get for it.....


.....


4000$

yes, 4000, didnt know what to do with that very big amount, but just in case vaulted it, so other people wouldnt rob it from me :rolleyes:

DaBoss!
11-23-2013, 04:52 PM
Lucky, I only got 500. And no that's not 500K, its 500 dollars exactly. I cant even buy a light gunner with that!!! Oh well its a fair exchange. 200,000 to open it and recieve 500

What?
11-23-2013, 05:12 PM
This event does seem counterintuitive. One part is to collect pumpkin pies and the other part is use them to open prizes. The thing that boggles my mind is you can't complete one without hurting your chances on the other (not that there are any chances of completing without a ton of gold). If I attack all the time I can usually end up with 2-300 boxes, maybe I'll get a few prizes, but I'm lucky to get 10 open for units. This event is not only counterproductive, but is probably the least profitable event in regards to units. One silver lining is you can actually get prizes for having a few hundred boxes unopened which usually happens anyway, but 2000 is just ridiculous. Even if you got a box every attack it would still take over 4 days worth of stamina attacking every 3 minutes all day and night. Not going to happen. Gree probably makes the most money on small things like spending 200 gold with a lot more people than a few people spending 5000 gold. That is just my 2 cents and 2 cents that gree isn't getting from me.

Its a joke, I cant see anybody spending the time let alone the gold required for this, 500 do-able yes, a 1000 for the dedicated possible, 2000 is just ridiculous, so people dont worry about keeping up with the Mr & Mrs jones on this one, bc there will be very few ppl do this, I will be v shocked if I see that plane in anybodies inventory I fight against

the top 3 factions will get it handed to them by gree ,
gree only supports sup. was proved by that on the streak awards during war corrupt to the core
as long as sup players continue to pay to win. gree wont listen to the customers underneath them ,

a boycott or petition needs to be set up that gree are ripping everyone off.

TKO is now SUP ??? Anywhere any faction wanted the prizes, just join or merge with SUP, Gree will give away everything to SUP, ......even SUP did not complete and it's proven

If they were to make the 25 easier, then just chop out the extra prizes (like the 150x valour...) and only hand out pies/token. In the ten have the prizes handed out, with slightly higher percentage of getting a pie/token.

I said this ^^^ in another thread. If gree did this then crate events would be fun, wouldn't they?
