New Dataset

[PawnXIIX]

Sounds like syndicate but I don't think it is...

Trust me, you'll know when you see the pop up. The first thing I thought of was "shut up and take my money" and I'm not even a gold spender D:

Eh, plenty of time on that (also...not in the dataset)...

Just ran the odds on the collect-20 looking thing. Definitely harder to do than the collect-10s.

Without posting everything, if it works like a collect-10, you'll need to expect to open ~297 boxes successfully. By contrast, collect-10's you expect to need only ~79 successful opens.

Let me run some simulations of a leaderboard event and then a collect 10 event and I'll get back to that matter - but that sounds right in the ballpark.

What are you using as the theoretical open rate of the boxes?

+1 to that... Must resist, must resist

OMG you guys are killing me. I was gonna buy some new crates, but are you telling me I should hold off????

Sound like something exiting is about to happen around here!

I wouldn't call it exciting. It's a money grab.

Lucky???

[bald zeemer]

These new crates are pretty damn awesome. I wasn't as lucky as Facasa, but did manage to pull a minigun on my first open. More importantly, there's a fairly handy explosive item. And the commons are equivalent of low rare/high uncommon from events.

I'm hoping we get a LE building for valentine's - I was out of internet range for Halloween and Thanksgiving, but the frostys have quickly become my favourite buildings.

Is the new event scheduled to kick-off when the boss event ends?

[Ak Killah]

why all the secrecy just spill the beans

It is against forum policy and they may get b& for discussing unreleased info.

I'll say it is. Just saw the splash screen. Wow

Gree is twiddling their thumbs with a HUGE smirk on their face right now. $$$

Terrible modifiers though...

So yes if you hold off buying at least one crate until event starts you get 4 for price of three. Yep, money grab, and they will grab some folks. Wonder if they are going to go with a 20 or 40% discount or none?
