Curiousity: Halloween Event

novacaine

Was there ever an official release of the chances to get each item from the Halloween gift box event? If not, does anyone (Only people who have actually given a reasonable try at it) have a guestimate on the odds to get the three flying mounts, or midnight?

I've been buying guardian angels with all my coins, and skipping out on skills. I've used MANY but haven't had much luck yet. I was considering buying some from the cash shop to try again... But i'm curious of other people's luck first.

I know my faction leader got two midnights in 76 angels... And several other people got one of the four mounts in less than 20 angels, so it can't be that outrageously small of a chance can it?

Guardian Angels are cash shop.

If you use money, 76 attempts are 7.6 million. I own something like 500K.

Let's say I invest half of that, and let's be generous --- I get 3 shots. Not going to happen.

It's all a matter of perspective. Events like these are for the rich 24/7 raid farmers, and for them it's cheap.

you left out the people with bottomless pockets of cash to spend on GA's

Lmao, and people like me who spent EVERYTHING on those and got nothing

Buy guardian angels with coins. Idk about your server, but they're 30-45k on mine.

by the way...

Out of 100 angels i got one isfrael or w/e. So basically, that's 5 mil. Plus i got 2 mil worth of treats, 350k worth of candies, an easy 1 mil worth of 3 star items, and probably about 800k in pills. Add it all up and that's a lot of profit.

you know the idea would work if some we didnt have to buy pots out the rear every other quest, and angels on the server i am on are 50k and up, so for a crappy as hell item that will probably give you candy or a pill, you could get about 150 pots... 150 pots, or candies that sell for what, 200 a piece?

as previously stated, this event favored the 24/7 farmers and people with real life cash to waste.

the candies sell for 750 on my shop, or did at first havent been on in a while.

I personally bought 70 GA's and got a 3 star fist for my level (pure luck out but I needed that mother fecker of a weapon was very happy with that.) and wings of dedaelus which I traded for an israfel and then traded for Nakir's Judgement (being human wanted that). got myself another 3 star neclace which I will eventually sell.

thank you auru, for eing the example of the people eho actually got something out of this becuase they have the money to waste on a MMORPG XD all i'm saying is make it fair for everyone, not just those that have the money to spend in the cash shop, thats a **** way to keep/add players to your game

Ahh I am sorry I work a full time job and can easily fall "victim" to these cheap and obvious money making ploys Originalsin.

Oh wait no I am not, I understand what you mena though and I am some what pissed off that they didn't make it doable by everyone to me thats how ti should be, make an event for everyone, I personally don't mind them adding a cash value to some parts because thats the way they make there money.

What I do take offense to is the fact that they made it so that only people who have disposable income can really get a big benefit.

Either way the devs and corp may take this into account that they can't so obviously half **** an 'event', positive player responses will elad to more money because happy players are eventualyl spending player >.<.

Originalsin - Sanctuary

eventualy being the key word, though, any any corp is all about who has money to spend on the here and now, which despite haveing jobs, some of us really just dont have it to spend at the moment, then there are those without jobs and cant find em, and the high school kids on the game thathave school and dont have a job. its a political thing at the moment. they tailored the event to the working gamers and said to hell with those that cant afford to buy from cash shop in the here and now. which pissed alot of players off.

It's really... REALLY not hard to make coins on perfect world. Grind half a level at 40+ and you got 200k at LEAST. And you HAVE to grind, that or do FB's over and over... Even so, do the fb's and you can sell the blood and other stuff. Most people make 100k+ per hour by 40. You can do all of this by NPC'ing the dropped items, so you can't say "Oh the prices are different here."

Also, I'm tired of seeing people whining about the cash shop thing. Do you realize that Jone's blessing thing is the single most useful object they could have given anyone? Who cares if it's temporary, you can burn through monsters with it. Aside from that... It's a free game. They need revenue somehow. The staff of the game don't work for free, and the servers suuuure as hell are not free.
