Anybody got FM yet from the Xmas boxes? My guildies open them like crazy and so far... nada.
Out of the 200+ I bought on the test server I got one frozen manor.
Bushybraw sent our guild the following stats this morning for 100 gift boxes. I don't know if it's test server or live data.
"3 FM
13 White castle
3 imp farm
5 imp silo
8 arctic mines
7 imp storehouses
5 watermills
4 fish farm
3 silo
1 imp watermill
10 set xmass deco
38 decos
GL to anyone that trys them...let it be noted that the first FM dropped int he first 10 boxes)"
Those would be live. There were no fish farms or watermills on test.
So, based on those, only people who can afford 100+ boxes need apply it would appear. No thank you. Had one guildie buy 30 and get nothing but decos.
3% drop chance on 350 gems. New lows for BB. The cash crunch must be bad there.
Actually, they'd make more money if they lowered the price to 95gems like they did the first year. I'd spend all my gems.Quote:

Again... oSettlers and others are wrong as they come from test and the fish farm and watermills have been added.
got 100 on test, nada. not worth your time
So they changed the chances again, when will they realize we wont buy a tone og gem boxes unless we know the odds and its worth the risk
regular water mills or new ones? and where did you see this info. I would like to read it, oh is this just off that the guy said in this postQuote:

Unfortunately to balance those two ends (good price for good chance of the good drops) is not an easy task. I didn't buy a single box last xmas and I am not going to buy one this year either. The chance of getting good stuff is way to low. I am not paying tons of gems for crap xmas decos.
BB could have used the test server feedback to find right balance between price of those boxes and % chance drop loot. Is it me or that is what the test server can be used for? If you guys could actually pay attention to the feedback you could make ton of gems sales. O well, If I have to pay for gems and also teach you how to spur the game sale - I should be working for BB...
Few of my guildies bought 1-3 boxes, most don't even bother. I suppose that's how it is with most guilds.
Funny thing is I am subbed to 5 other games and I see similar things happening there too. Great opportunities to spur in game cash shops sales busted by lack of vision/laziness or just greed of developers. Two other of my games released flat out broken content for Xmas event. I mean... Kinda getting short on words to describe stuff like this. It is as if more and more game devs (in general) didn't give a **** about their own product, content or quality and just expect their playerbase to keep paying for whatever they (devs) come up with - even if it doesn't make sense or is just flat out broken.
On one hand I feel just old. On the other, I am so **** proud to be old school. Thanks god I was thought by people who put profit at the end of the sentence, behind words like quality, loyalty, appreciation ect. They were not flying private jets or making vids about themselves but boy, they could deliver...
Nostalgically missing the old days.
Also- they need a solution to the crappy decorations that pile up from these boxes. They obviously don't sell well on TO.
And you're stuck with them. Only thing to do is sell it for nothing practically or delete them or just let them pile up to clutter your misc menu screen.
I still have a ton of these from 2 years ago. The decorations.
