The Arcane Council was overzealous in their placement of the No Trespassing zone. We’ll lower it so it won’t affect the Idea Incubation Lab.

Hello???? Its been days how about a hotfix!

Yeah I seen it had been fixed right after I posted. this one guy has ruined the fun in this event for me. =(

PCanineBrigade.4916:

As stated above, they will nerf it soon. But until then, you guys can try Mango Pie with some senses to detect his pattern. Ex. He wouldn’t Belch agian until he drinks 3 times, he can’t drink water agian until 3 turns has passed, etc.
Source : I beat him on second try, and the last Om Master on the first try

And oh, bring signature moves like Woo and Boast.

They must have fixed the mango pie its not working for me.

NVM! I see they fixed the food buff. I give up this is just silly its fine for something to be hard but this is taking my fun away I think I will go play another game a few days this one guy has ruined this event for me.

Update – got 5 more crates over the last 2 days, with nothing but crap in them.

0/35 on the tickets from the crates, with countless hours of grinding.kittenRNG

Updating also, got my 1st crate last night after many hours of farming since release.
I’m sure everyone already knows what kind of junk was in my crate.

The whole living story thing imo is a great idea it makes the world feel like its turning but used as a market strategy for us to buy crates from the store is taking the fun away. People keep posting got theirs after 1-2 crates and like the rng system so the lucky people can be proud of having their rare skin. That’s what a legendary is for. Yes you may see a lot of them now but the people had to put time and work to get it and some rng. If the weapon skin only dropped from pve and was super rare we would not have this problem but since you can gamble away on crates and still get crap with real money that doesn’t make the skin something to be proud of it just makes us lose respect for the company that uses this strategy.

Been doing southsun since yesterday and got two southsun crates. the second one had a scarlet weapon claim ticket. I hope this makes you all mad because your complaining about random chances being too random because you want to be guarenteed to get it, but it isn’t the point. It’s a rare weapon that you don’t really have control over whether you get it or not. Farming more or playing more or buying more from the gemstore won’t guarentee you getting it. That’s the beauty of random chance.

I personally enjoy getting random weapons like this. It feels special. I know that not any little jabroni can go and get it from grinding and only a certain amount of people will have it. And for me, this system works better for me. SAB had the same thing, but they also had the ability to farm currency for it. Well I didn’t have the time to get all the babbles or whatever they’re called so I couldn’t get one of those sweet hologram weapons. I didn’t get lucky that event, but i did this event and that’s the luck of the draw i guess.

But I don’t condone this for legendaries because the grind is so absurd it’s an impressive feat. Legendaries need to keep their reputation of being hard to obtain through a lot of time and work.

Its not a bad idea to go back and read your post before posting it.

Any little jabroni can get it you just said you did after doing no work.

I have been farming on various 80s since the release several hours a day and I have not seen the 1st crate drop for me. The last 2 days I have used %423 magic find yet still no crate.
Any content added to a game should be accessible for any player willing to play for it if its getting a raid together or simply putting hours of play time in or buying it from the cash store. This content is being restricted from me because I have bad luck.

edit* TBH at this point I am just quitting putting so much effort in getting a crate just to open and hope rng feels sorry for me is idiotic.

You’re contradicting yourself – people should be responsible for their own actions, except that Anet should tell them not to spend so much money?

They are not forced to spend anything, I’ve spent less than $250 on this game since it was released, including copies of the game for my wife and I.

If someone walks into McDonald’s alone and orders a large Big Mac meal, and another Big Mac, does the cashier say “oh no, you’re too fat already, you can only have a salad.” They are happy to take your money and give you what you want. It’s up to you to control those urges and say when you’ve had enough.

I completely agree with you. If I see a new commercial about some new type of dish or sandwich at a restaurant they make it available for a price and I can eat as many as I like.

This game I play came out with a new weapon skin I wanted. So I went to work and made a lot of money went to the game store and to my surprise the weapon is not available for a price. Yet it is available at a gamble but I am not guaranteed to get it no matter how much money I spend. The item is also not farmable from mobs either. I have been told it will drop from mobs yet I have not seen one drop yet and I have been farming mobs since day one at least 5 hours a day. But the rate is so high its not considered farmable when you have a limited time. People play this off on the game needs income for new content. Read once and a while, they already make enough money to support the game w/o adding the rng boxes. The rng boxes are simply greed and a risk. The game has seen the enormous income from rng boxes so its hard to give that money up. All we can hope for is the current person in charge makes his millions and quits and the next guy to come along has some idea on how to treakittens customers and build a long lasting customer base before we all move on to the next rng game.

There is no monthly fee. Therefor they have to put stuff in the gem store like this so people will spend money on it. Or else they wouldnt make profit and the game would die out

This is not how it works.
Adding in these tickets back to back rng is what makes the game die. The game is making plenty of money to stay alive. If they keep adding these money sinks people will get tired of the rip off and then the game dies. Nothing but greed.

To another post yes he has no money and has no gold and yes he wants the rewards.
Its a game for fun they make this a race because you can’t farm the tickets by playing(in a game you should be able to) so people spend money. I know the crates drop but its at a very silly drop rate even with all the magic find on top of that the tickets have a very silly drop rate from the crate.

I’d sure like to hear an official response considering Anet is involved in interstate electronic transmission of funds and or services with regards to games of chance which is the legal definition of Internet Gambling as governed by US law.

Some time ago, on another forum, a poster claimed RNG boxes and purchased keys violated France’s anti-online-gambling laws. Since RNG boxes all contain something that a buyer might want, they are just like Magic: the Gathering booster packs. You can buy MTG Packs in France, online, though Amazon France.

ANet and that other game company have lawyers, whose job is to protect them from making costly mistakes. I suspect those lawyers know more about the law than forum lawyers do.

Yes they all have lawyers and what you said many people have said about so many gaming companies right before they got the pants sued off them or fined.
Look at Blizzard and they have many of those attorneys you speak of.

The way they have this supply crate set up can go either way if enforcement wants to look at it as gambling because it is. Its clearly not set up very smart. One of the marketers seen an easy way to bump up revenue short term but these type of actions can hurt the player base in the long term.
