New Update - Optimizing Mission Flow

#41

Im pretty sure it seemed like the rates looked a bit off for me on phone not because they changed, but because i constantly got stuck in the loop, and i wasnt receiving boxes as fast since i had to wait for it to calm down and finish the mission

#42

Today I played 4 insane BB and I only got box 2 times, itā€™s the first time that happens to me since the big update !!
In 1 of the 2 opportunities the ā€œfortune boxā€ came out, and I only had 2 rares. It is also the first time this happens to me !!

I believe that the campaign has definitely been downgraded.

#43

Hum iā€™m a hard grinder, i can tell if the thing are the same or not, thatā€™s why i invite them to check my account. I read the answer from sarah, thatā€™s why i reply to the post because itā€™s obvious things are not the same :wink: even if itā€™s true that epics from regular box are not guaranteed and are pretty rare, i got at least one for the same number of runs i did.

#44

Im glad that the quality of these updates havenā€™t changed tho. We can benefit from their mistakes again. :wink:

#45

Well, boxes seem to be dropping regularly now. Thanks for the fix. The game seems faster for grinding.

Is it true that the drop rates were not changed? Good.

Thanks @Sarah247 for the info.

#46

Ok finally find out whatā€™s happening and i should now apologize. So, sorry! It seems some rewards goes directly to the inventory without opening a box. I used most of my epic to clear my inventory because it was really hard to know exactly what i had in it. The result, when that did i go to my usual bb run and wait for a no box run and find out coming back to my inventory that an epic appear from nowhere. So, please accept my apologize to jump on conclusion too quickly, i can assume that the other no drop run was something like that.

#47

No worries!
Glad everything is ok now :slight_smile:

#48

I once got a fortune box with 3 rares before the update. I was surprised, tooā€¦

But I think that is the nature the fortune boxā€¦ Luck.

We just rolled a bad number. :slight_smile:

#49

yes, all it is good now.
Befor, when we didnā€™t get boxes on each run, it was because of the bug.
When you didnā€™t get the box, that was supposed to be a fortune boxā€¦ but you didnt get any cause f the bug.
Now things are good, alot faster grinding, a improvement ā€¦like i say a stept in the right direction.
But we have to admit, that if things remained the sameā€¦ it looked pretty grim for evrybody.
And we were quick to get the forks and tourchesā€¦ but @Sarah247, handled it like a hero.
Not all heroes were capes :slight_smile:

and also to another hero:

Can you say for a fact that Sarah isnt sitting behind her computer right now while wearing a cape?

#51

canā€™t say that mateā€¦ canā€™t even say if i wore pants today at workā€¦ bu these things really go unoticed.
But i will say this, on mobile the isue isnā€™t really sovedā€¦ still getting blank boxes(no box)

#52

Its false

Checked BB:
normal - instead of two rare pack three items, two of them were commons.
Hard - even worse, one empty, the rest 50/50 - a lot of garbage commons.
Insane - two in a row without boxes, so let rename it to mindless.
Epic zero.
normal gave one wonder of rare.
I recall that one rare - 440, and common only 110

And I fundamentally curious - if not raised in the forum the noise from the players, this skewed update would have remained unpatched?

UPD and more insane BB after three set - ONLY ONE WITH BOX - rare+common TWO ITEMS.

and what the hell kind of reward is the difference between hard and Insan 1000 coins, of 11.5 K hard and to insane 12.5 K?

UPD2 and another empty insne with 12.7kā€¦

to hell with them with 14 of fuel, stopped to test, and so it is understandable that full of < censorshit >

#53

Is such a bug not worthy of an apology from the development team?
How would such a bug be missed during pre update testing?
Are you going to address the false information provided regarding rewards?

#54

Huhā€¦ 2 bigboy missions with no item dropsā€¦ did I get invisible fortune boxes? (On mobile)

#55

Despite insisting that they didnā€™t change the drop rate for boxes, they most definitely lowered the drop rate of boxes. It was around 99% and now itā€™s somewhere around 75% chance for normal Bigboy. Iā€™ve heard itā€™s about the same for Ramboy, but I havenā€™t tested Ramboy for myself.

Other changes Iā€™ve noticed since patch are:
Fortune Boxes (Black boxes) from Bigboy now have 2 items. They had 3 items before the update.
Fortune Boxes (Black boxes) from Bigboy now appear to have lower rarity of items. Since the update Iā€™ve gotten numerous all rare boxes and several boxes with 1 rare 1 common. Before the update I never got a common and only very rarely got all rare items.
Twice Iā€™ve gotten a mix box from Bigboy with 3 items instead of 2.

Bugs Iā€™ve noticed:
Sometimes after completing a mission it will say youā€™re getting a box and then not give you the box.

#56

Five insane bigboy row - 0 boxes!!! WTF

#57

As @Sarah247 said, ā€œIt was a bug, but now all is fine and works as intendedā€¦ā€ Welcome to SM, brohā€¦

#58

If you want to kill SM

  1. No boxes - ready
  2. No gold - not ready
  3. No experience - not ready
    When did this happen?
#59

1 day later ā€¦

  • do @mumumusad lie ?

  • what reason he would have for ?

  • update / changes ā€¦ now ā€¦ something was changed OR an update with no changes ?

:slight_smile:

P.S.: most of the games have ā€œFull Changelogā€ where you can read every single detail they changed !
P.P.S.: to think players are kinda ā€œstupidā€ and will not notice bad changes for them ā€¦ what I should think about that ?

#60

I donā€™t know the exact percentage of Bigboy giving a box on normal, as that will require a lot more data, but of the runs Iā€™ve done so far today Iā€™ve gotten 18 boxes in 27 runs. It would have been 19 boxes, but I got the bug where it says youā€™re going to give you a box and then doesnā€™t once.

You donā€™t have to take my word for it. Do some Bigboy runs and see for yourself.
