Thread: Best Case Scenario !!!!

  1. #1

    Exclamation Best Case Scenario !!!!

    The medal drop rate on this servers is 0.1%
    This means that you will get 1 medal every 1000 attacks.

    Best case scenario. The flat u are attacking next to you and takes 2.5 min to get there. And you attack non stop when troops return. So its 5 min per attack. And you send 5 waves at a time.

    It will take 1000 min per medal. aka 16hrs and 40 min per medal (played time)

    You need 10 rose to advance. Assuming all the medals you get are rose medals. It will take you roughly 7+ days PLAYED TIME!!

    Now lets say you have a life and have to work or go to school.
    So you work 8hrs a day, play 8hrs a day, and sleep 8hrs a day. On weekends you play 16hrs a day.

    It will take you almost 2 and 1/2 weeks providing you dont step away from computer to eat, shower, go to the bathroom or really play your country.

    Or you can spend $80 USD and buy the medals you need. Just so you can advance be able to have 3 cities!!

    Not even going to calculate the next few levels this is bad enough.

    In conclusion unless you have extra money laying around this game is almost pointless until they change the drop rate of the medals.

    Of course, this is all averages. You might actually get all 10 in your first ten attacks. Then again, you could attack twelve billion times and not get a single one.

    Yep. Medal drop rates need to be raised. Roses are impossible to find.

    I believe it's actually less than .1%. I have attacked probably about a thousand times personally but I'm not hardcore with it or anything. I've heard of people individually attacking 10s of thousands of times without a medal, and I've been in alliances where there was 1 medal (from a lvl 4 npc actually, and it was honor) between all 100 people in over a week and a half since the server started.

    I send out 3-6 attacks a day and only for a two week stretch did I get nothing. After that I got a rose medal at least two times a day. Then when I no longer needed them I got a few more.

    Right now I have a hard time finding wisdom medals, but sending out the same attacks a day and getting at least one a day. If you are in a rush to get the top title, then yeah it's going to be frustrating. If you just play the game and go at a leisurely pace, you move along just fine. At least thats what I've seen.

    If you come to a fork in the road, take it!

    This is JUST Rose medals.
    Nothing Else.
    As you go up, the medals become easier to find.
    The only people that need Rose medals are beginners.

    Why do you think the changed the requirements for prinzessin instead of increasing the drop rate? Ever make that connection?

    Alright, Justice & Nation medals may take more troops, but they're are damn sure easier to get.
    Unlike roses where it takes a couple hundred attacks just to make rank.

    Those that are for Higher drop rates are gonna complain about the change of requirements.
    Those that are for the requirements are gonna complain about the drop rate.

    The question is, do you wanna work harder or smarter?


    The point is that the devs won't give in, but they will compromise, a win-win for both you and Evony.

    If I only had to spend a few hundred attacks to get all my rose medals I would be satisfied. As is, Im spending hundreds of attacks to get ZERO medals, not just rose.

    What server was that on? I don't know where they changed it, but on the mid 30s up til like 60 at least medals were a 1% drop rate, which was low but still seemed pretty reasonable.

    You should have another option on the poll.
    I am quitting the server I play on and will try my luck on an older server.
    That's an option for anyone who doesn't want to pay for medals.
    PEACE
