Warhead Event - Stresses and Successes

[Jhoemel]

No boxes, multiple attacks... Looks like im a target today

Posted to the Where are you thread....

Things I'm noticing with this event.

Last three my main player was opening boxes 1 in every 2 tries. Now they are 1 in 8 to 9 tries but with a spree of opens 4 in a row for warheads and then back to nothing for a long stretch.

My LLP is up to 6 boxes already. So here are the stats so far, all opens are using cash. Not finding a lot of loot but a lot of sorries more than I have had in the past 3 events so if this is going to slide like the last events unless you got lots on day 1 you are probably screwed by now.

Bro1 = 3 warheads L93
Bro2 = 3 warheads L89
Me = 4 warheads L140
LLP = 6 warheads L64

What I am noticing this time out is that the lower level players are getting more opens. I know my brothers stats don't seem to reflect this but they also have not been finding as many boxes so that is why my stats look better even though my open to sorry ratio is higher.

What is surprising is my LLP who is really out ahead of us all and spending a lot less per open. Have a feeling that in the past opens may have been triggered by how much cash you spent overall but this time might be something different or 'luck' factor is based more on level to give the lower level players a chance since they are also getting lower value units than the top level players.

Finally go my 3rd warhead but the rest are sorry. I'm pretty sure I'm screwed now. Only 3 nukes so far. My LLP isn't really playing because I can't connect my iPad to the wifi at work. Sucks because if what OA is saying is true, that's where my best opportunity was to get 10 nukes. Oh well same old events same old results.

4 nukes now. Debating the usefulness of the bonus unit. Sure the stats are nice, but at my level (34) and with my economy (~50k/hr) I don't really use energy that much. Trying not to level actually.

Funny thing, sometimes my Internet connection lags a bit when I press the nuke box to open the event page. If I press it again (impatient me does frequently) I invariably end up pressing on the "open with hands" button. Other events I have gotten nothing from that, as the odds suck. However, this event I have done this twice (yeah yeah, I am a slow learner) but have gotten a nuke from one of those!

I have been camping the free gold pages like mad and have a little saved. If I can get to 7 or 8 boxes with cash only before the last 24 hrs I might try for 10. I was able to get one top level event unit previously, silent drifter, and did it spending much less gold than i would have on a store unit with similar Atk/Def. Any advice on a good threshold for go/no-go on events? Cost-benefit analysis conducted over multiple accounts?

Just got warhead #9. Still have 13 unopened boxes. Based on the last event, I'm guessing it could take another 30+ boxes before I hit 10...

[Agent Orange]

4 sorries in a row this morning for my main player.

[Luke7676]

I've been hitting sorry's all morning too... Still at 5.

And congrats rusty on making it to nine already.

Wohoo I got 3 out 4 opens, 2 more warheads,

I have 5 warheads now!

I am seriously beginning to wonder if any of the geek developers who created this game have ever actually played modern war. I skipped the last rewards game because my money was wasted on the previous one, i naively believed imwould have a chance to win something and all i did was waste my money.

But I decided to try the warheads reward game, but will no longer participate when the geeks punished me by rewarding me with an ally when I opened a case.

Obviously the people in charge of choosing the rewards have never played this game. Many times additional allies will do you more harm than good and anyone who has played this game for a few weeks would realize that. An additional ally was a punishment not a reward so I am out of the nuclear warhead game.
