edited August 2014 in General Discussion
Over the past 5 years ive spent over £5000 on this game buying packs and gear etc and never once gotten a script of fate or scroll of tome from anni packs. A noobie buys 500 packs and gets 2 Scroll Of Tome in 15mins.

Is there a method to increasing luck to actually getting someonething worth our money or is it selected IP accounts/ areas who get increased luck, kinda like driving tests where they only select a certain few to pass? lolol

    Ye, put your pot on the stove, mix 4 frog legs with 2 blue mushrooms, half a dozen oaknuts and 3 mice tails. Mix until it boils, then add 2 cow testicles. Let it cool and drink the potion, now your luck will be improved.

    That's because you're putting your £5000 into the stupidest of places.

    If you knew where to put it, you would have walked away with £6000 worth of stuff. But hey, maybe you can throw more money at it and it'll fix itself?

    There is no such thing as luck. You can't increase your luck stat. It's merely chance and probability, and the John that won two SoTs scored on the 1 in x chance for that to happen.

    Avid pack openers have decided that the % have been nerfd on opening packs. Do not open packs. Also I would love for them to bring back the pack spam from Duke Black to see if spam is comparable to 3-4 years ago. I know someone who would only open packs if he saw pack spam happening a lot.

    Dear PWI bring back Duke Black spams please!

    pwi pack luck is based on the number of unicorns per second passing through your cpu

    Well I can 100% confirm that it is not the number of unicorns over your CPU, because if it was, I would be loaded with pack items.

    Can troll me all you want for spending that much money on a game b:cryb:laughb:cry
    That's loose change for me in terms of what I have and as I enjoy the game, I spend money on it. I just refuse to +12 Deity myself as I would then have nothing to aim for. Same way if others follow a football team and buy tickets to watch it everyweek.

    I was only curious as it seems other accounts have much more pack luck than others. For example a friend of mine did FSP everyday for a month and in that time got the 10 A cards needed for the S card quest. I've done it everyday except maybe 7-8 times and still only on 5 A cards b:shutup

    You answered your question.

    Friend does 1 month = 30 days fsp = 10 A cards = 1 A card every 3 days.

    You do 22 days = 5 A cards = 4.4 days gives 1 A card.

    Be happy dude, there are others who do it for a whole month and don't see A card.

    You just need to figure out why you spend money in this game, beside that others can't help.

    simple rng, it basically rolls and if you land on specific numbers based on the amount they put in to equate to certain items, you will receive certain items, the more times you roll the more chances you have at getting it but it is still the same rate, you can never get it to getting the item you want every time. the only thing that may help with this and i dont think people really can rng manipulate in this game due to limited data access is when a game goes and bases its rng on frames of time to player id, such rng like this can be manipulated but once again ofc you would not have access to data regarding the factors that involve this and arent supposed to in the first place. the one thing i always hoped these types of games would implement is like a table of the exact chances at getting speciifc items
