Food Crate Box Event

[BadNews]

Let's go.

I can't believe they lowered the stats for all the units, actually I can. And the top 50 bonus is terrible they had a top 250 prize a while ago with a 15% time reduction

[Hobtuse]

@Cloud22: They didnt lower the stats. They just didn't update the stats. and some of the bonus prizes at the beginning were too good like 10% time reduction in upgrades, +100 attack skill

Yeah your right but I think those people who spend all that money to get in the top 50 deserve a better bonus for there unit. But that isn't gree style

No modifier for the top 250 prize is not new. They did away with that (only having it for the top50), a long, long time ago.

The top 50 prize seems incredibly under-powered considering how much money it'll take to win ...

"Awesome my 4 day upgrade will now only take 3 days and 19 hours."

Still seems that if you want to spend gems, the boss events offer a much better return overall than these box events.

Most definitely, auction events are just to add to the trophy shelf.

For the first time I think I'll sit this one out. I usually do for the MW auctions but over there the five and ten prizes are essentially commons. Here in the past they've been good enough to at least play the event...and last time had the very welcome addition of the possible rare dragon upon box opening. This event looks pretty terrible relative to the others.

Nail on the head

It's really sad though. The auction prizes have just got progressively bad. 5% seriously. Why not 10 or 20 like they used to do or top 250 is 5% top 50 adds 10% and number 1 gets another 15%

[chimera69]

Really hope we never see an Invasion Event like they had in CC just recently. You think our auction events are sad... that new style event was horrendous.

[Dexter Morgan]

Yeah that cc event was a nightmare. So much work for terrible items

Or 20% on top 50 & #1 gets 30%...but this time the top 250 is ugly. i don't care if i get it or not...

I have a stupid question. This event has been open for what, three hours now? It looks like the leader is at 18 already I'm a free player, but I watch the leader boards. How many gems does it take to get top 50? We're talking serious dollars right?

Let's take the 18.
Assuming:
The contest started three hours ago
They got all those boxes w/o refilling their energy
Each time they open a box they are successful
---
We'll give them 3 'free' opens (one per hour), meaning they needed to pay to reduce the hourly timer 15 times. I believe that's 20 gems a pop. That's 300 gems assuming he's able to get items using freebie or coins. Realistically, he's having to use gems to open boxes too. Another 20 a pop? That's 600 gems.

I know you can 'earn' gems, but this guy is already at 600 gems for 18... 650 costs $50. I know when the dust settles there will be people over 100.

Here's the question. Are people really spending that much money playing this game? I was close once to the top 250, but didn't pay for gems because they seem like a ripoff. Opening a box could have yielded coins leading to buying more gems, etc... Has this guy paid upwards of $50 already towards this event??

Edit, close to top 250 not 50...
