Since I didn’t see it in the patch notes, can you confirm if the wrappers were removed from the ToT bag drop table? Or are we still going to get them, but have no use for them? Thanks.

I hope my over 4000k entries gets me the Greatsaw skins. It has been the only skins since the first year that I never got. I was lucky enough to get the shield skin. I am sad though that I did not realize they would patch so early. I still have 400 wrappers I did not get to enter. Guess ill save them for next year and hope you bring it back.

I’d love the mad moon or the crossing if they’re part of the skins being given out. Although with the amount of candy wrappers submitted I do not like my chances.

Hm 4000k would be 4000000^^
Also I think that some people have put in over 20k scraps and some of them probably wont win anything. So dont keep your hopes too high, your fate is now in the hands of the cruel and sadictic RNG god.

More wrappers means more chances to get a single item or a farmer can get more than 1 specific weapon?

To avoid something like 100 skins ( its impossbile 100, i know :p ) to a single account.

There will be 1000 drawings and in theory one single person could win all of them.

The skins are randomly awarded. No choosing of weapons skins.

no. prizes are selected randomly and the skin mailed directly to the winners

what I want to know is if they will announce the winners. not like anyone would know most of the people listed, but it would be nice to know that people won them, instead of just assume it happened.

Most likely they won’t list the winners. Especially if there were people that won multiple skins (as that would likely cause some bad PR backlash).

Didn’t anet give out like 134 million million tot bags? the amount of wrappers would probably be very very high even if the chance for them was 1%.

I will 100% not win since in game I’m like 9999% unluckier than in RL -where I’m already 100% unlucky when it comes of gambles- sooo I really can’t wait to hear people officially saying they won, so that the pale spark of hope to get it will fade for good >.>

I’ve submitted 12 tickets
According to Taimis calculations that should be a solid 53% chance of winning.
Jk, its surely close to zero…

Assuming 138 millions of ToT bags have been looted (stated by Anet on twitter on 31/11, so there are more of them that have been looted since then).
Assuming the shiny foil candy wrapper drop rate is about 0.02 per bag. ( according to a drop rate research on the wiki : http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Trick-or-Treat_Bag/research )
Considering that all the ToT bags looted have been consumed (that is NOT true).
Considering all the foils are given to the skritt …
Then, approximately 2 760 000 foils were given !
There are 1000 halloween skins waiting for a master.
So for each foil given, you have 1 chance out of 2 760 to win ! That’s not so bad, if we compare to other gamble games.
But if you are looking for A skin (that perfect ghastly grinning shield for example), then you juste have :
1 chance out of 27 600 to get it.
That’s still hard for such a beautiful skin

In other words, even if you DID win, chances are you won’t get the ideal skin you want. I suppose one could just sell it off and make a ton of gold out of it, right? I put in around a hundred twenty skins I think, so I don’t think the odds are in my favor.

Yay for maths.

Except the odds are much worse than that. You don’t take into consideration that you could buy foil in the gem store. I wouldn’t be surprised if the number of foils entered were closer to 4,000,000.

This is starting to feel like Vegas.

The way I look at it, its just another RNG thing anyway so I just put in 7 in to it. Figure its no different than trying to put in 2 or 400 so yeah.

True this ! But it’s pretty hard to determine the exact number of foils bought in gemstore.
Some people in this topic are talking of hundred, thousands of foils they put, I guess they bought them. You may not be far from reality with 4 millions, but I think there were fewer of them. I exagerated my calculations, taking the worst scenario. In fact, not all the ToT bags were consumed, and some people couldn’t put their foils to the skritt since the update came early.
Whatever : good luck to get a skin !

Yeah. I’m sure they will let us know when the weapons have been sorted out and mailed, but naming the winners would be a lot of unnecessary effort just to give some bitter losers targets.

Or words to that effect.

Someone in LA map chat today linked a Grinning Gourd Rifle he got in the mail as a winner. Or so he claimed. As I believe innocent until proven guilty, and he didn’t seem disingenuous, I believe him.

Lol, well it’s possible I guess. Anet said the shields/gs would be drawn first then the others, but they never said what order they’d be mailed out. However I think the best way to tell will be to check the supply on the TP. Undoubtedly, there will be a lot of people who will just sell them.

Or the guy that turned in 4K could get 100 skins unless their other tickets don’t count after they won the first one.

It would be great to know who all got the prizes…even if it is just a list of winners without which item they got.
