Runes of Magic US / AU

merry Christmas, we got you a gotcha!

Damn cant we just get the +16 plussers and not a chance for them. With 4 possible extras..... so 25% chance... on average it would take 4 to get one if even chances, so 16 gashas to go from +13 to +16..... So 560 diamonds on average to plus up....

Guess that would give me a head start on making some more T10 stones for the next weapon, or possibly T11 if the rates for the plussers is bad....LOL

How about a diamond sale to offset that ;-)

This is just annoying, period. Why the @#@#$$ gashas again, seriously.

I feel kinda tempted to make threads spamming "We don't want Gashas", "We don't want packages" and "sell those @#$$% items individually" until they get the memo.

Please do not make threads to spam the forums

I suspect this thread will get nasty enough. Not much Christmas spirit in this sale. lol Quite the opposite.

So what is the price on those geisha's?

@35diamonds even for the weapon pack is not all that bad. NO cause for RAGE.

well at least they haven't put up something I would want to be spending any money on. Without a diamond sale I was worried they would put up something for sale that I would really want and be forced to buy diamonds at full price (since I tapped myself out with runes and refused to buy at 50%). Good thing I see Gashas as a horrible thing to buy, last good one was the X rune gashas where you could end up getting two for the price of one.... besides that and the glitched ones that one time... I hate them and wont buy them.

Thank you GF for making it easy for me not to buy more diamonds till the next big sale.

There are only so many charges one needs. I am not making new weapons nearly as much as I am making new armor or accessories. Not that you can make good weapon without +16 either, so at least charges + weapon gem kind of makes a bit of sense. Others not so much.

On the plus side, we have 120% dia sale on Sunday.

it's for 1 jewel. Even if you have a 1/4 chance that is outrageously expensive

If the following is any indication, there might be quite a few gotchas purchased:

Well people wanted plussing jewels, where you got them, mouhahahahaha. I just think that we will all have to stick with +12 items. How many years did we only have + 6 or + 12 jewels and none complained when we only had those.

To the people who complain the most about the jewels, well mmhhhh, suck it up or cry me a river.

Use your gear for more than a patch, who needs to get the latest gear/weapon all the time?? and the answer is??? ENDGAMERS !!!!!!

Who buys the most diamonds in game with real life money??? and the answer is??? NOT ENDGAMERS!! F2P they are.

Who upgrades and switch flavor of the month toons every chapters?? and the answer is??? ENDGAMERS!!!!!!

I personnaly won't have to switch to better gear till maybe level 85 or i would wait till level 90 even, why?? because that the way ROM is. A lot of people are endgame geared, paid a fortune of in game gold to get and still aren't running GCH or SC, why? because they are lazy or can't seem to get along and get PUG groups to go with them.

Let's take a new year resolution NOW!!!!! Let's run as one on RENI, improve the server, improve the players, improve the economy of the game!!!! If endgamers can run hard mode instances with 5 to 7 people, we should be able to get 12 people decently geared to do it also. WAKE UP RENI !!!! 2014 is approaching, Gamefore as improved a thousand fold in the last months, let's try to do the same with our server and inprove ourselves!!!!!! WE ARE RENI!!!!!!

TYVM and MERRY CHRISTMAS to all!!!!!!!

Actually this is undervalued. We are assuming that because there are 4 items, they each individually have the same likelihood of dropping. In other words, we assume each item has a probability of 25%. It is possible for the items to have different probabilities and still have a total cumulative probability of 1. That is, it is possible for 3 items to have a .3 (30%) probability and for the jewels to have only .1 (10%). Cike calls it a "gotcha" for a reason .

Furthermore if I am not mistaken these jewels are actually not perfect. They can fail. Not to mention they could also drop the existing attained plussing level . However, I could be wrong and maybe these are indeed perfect.

I guess some of you were right on the other thread; +16 is no longer the norm but rather the exception. It is just flat out too expensive and the marginal benefit is rather small.

well... I didn't see the diamond sale thing.. Hrm well then ill buy diamonds but very few if any diamonds will be spent on these Gasha's, maybe plus a few items that have been waiting and then hold out.

This thread is amusing in its fail. There are none so deluded as those who want to be. We went over this sale the last time it rolled around.

I thought this was quite funny. Especially seeing I had a friend laughing at my level 72 necklace that has Crimson/bunker stats still on it.

Well yea if your only purchasing the geisha for the plusses, but if you are wanting charges, then it is not all that horrible(40 charges plus an extra IS item, hopefully they will have ruby bonuses ( doubtful ) but hoping.

They will have a ruby bonus of 16 per

Point I'm making is that this is not a sale for charges, it's a sale for plussing jewels. Charges were on happy hour 3 days ago for 5 diamonds per 10
The whole "well people who need charges see it as a gift for buying charges" is just too unlikely. The fact that it is broken into weapon/armor/accessory/wings just shows the intention is to get people to go for specific jewels. After all, if the extra items are just a gift, why not lump all the jewels into a single gasha?

This is a plussing sale that is just gambling on top of gambling.

well, looking at previous posts on the forums(not this particular post), they said improved jewels coming.... Gashas are not improved jewels coming. I can wait. won't be the end of the world if i do. Only one piece i have needs to hit +16 and it's still loads better then the GCH piece i finally managed to replace at +12.
