Weekend sale - rune gashas

OK, here is the sale this weekend

1) X level gashas. 4 different ones, with guaranteed Block X, Aggression X, Advance X or Revolution X. You also get a chance at second X rune, which is a different X than guaranteed one or Potential X.

Price: 299 dias

2) VIII level gashas. 4 different ones again. Wrath VIII or Fatal VIII gasha has a chance of second rune which is a different one than guaranteed or Raid VIII or Accuracy VIII. On magic side, Miracle VIII or Burst VIII has a chance of a different one than guaranteed or Curse VIII or Accuracy VIII

Price: 59 dias

3) IV & V level gashas. Same pattern. You get guaranteed Loot IV or Experience IV and a chance at a rune other than guaranteed one or Advance V or Shield V.

Price: 99 dias.

Comments:

1) Gashas again, guys? We stopped with them for quite some time, now we are back. :(

2) The chances of receiving 2nd rune are not known, but it is going to be possible to get Hatred X with a lucky pull of single gasha.

3) The chances that people will end up with unwanted 2nd rune are pretty high, even more so since the guaranteed rune is taken out of the running for 2nd.

4) Yes, you can make recon V with two lucky pulls. But, really, who is going to be that lucky, and even then, why would people want 2 Loot/Expeience runes?

Overall, not a fan of a sale. Gashas are not welcomed even for no other reason than we don't know the chance of getting second item. It could be 80%, it could be 1%. And getting the second rune that I would almost certainly want to trade away is not much a prize even if I win. The scheme is more inventive than usual, but I still think fairly flawed.

It is possible that the prices will be so good and chance at 2nd rune be so good that it could be good sale anyway. But, odds are it is not going to be all that.

So, can we see some vitriol?

P.S. Rabbit costumes also on sale, but that is easter sale, not the weekend one.

If they sell these gashas at the same price as what it would regularly cost to buy those runes in a sale, this could be a decent sale, regardless of the chances of getting the second rune, since first rune is guarenteed, so it would be the same as buying a rune in any regular sale, except the chance to get a second one for free.

But then again, GF's marketing team logic probably has some way of ruining this, like charging double the cost of the gasha in the rune.

I've often wondered why RoM does not advertise wherever lottery tickets are sold. Or perhaps a new player drive to coincide with the sponsoring of several GA meetings.

didn't we have an official poll about selling shield runes with the rest of them? And weren't the results heavily yes to be grouped the same? I mean we even have an aggro cap now so whats the big deal.

I don't get why they do this :\. I'd be more than willing to buy the runes by themselves in the packs they usually sell them in, but I don't want a bunch of extra runes that I don't need. Only way this sale wouldn't suck is if, like Ruisen said, they're the same price as the runes would normally sell for by themselves.

If they're more than the price the runes would normally sell for...GG, Gameforge, but no thanks.

Snuck into Aus Server and found the prices. Plus the forum friendly version i made for my guildsite. Didnt proof read so might be mistake but i went slow and methodical.

Quoted


What a mess! The Easter Wabbit took all of our runes and mixed them up. Help us sort this out, and with a bit of Easter luck, you could save up to 50%!

The first group of Easter rune gashas contain at least one of the following four runes: Revolution X, Aggression X, Advance X, or Block X, and there&#8217;s also a chance of getting one of the other three or a Potential X.

Aggression X Gasha: 299D's
Chance at one other item in this list.

  • Revolution X
  • Advance X
  • Block X
  • Potential X


Revolution X Gasha: 299D's
Chance at one other item in this list.

  • Aggression X
  • Advance X
  • Block X
  • Potential X


Advance X Gasha: 299D's
Chance at one other item in this list.

  • Revolution X
  • Aggression X
  • Block X
  • Potential X


Block X Gasha: 299D's
Chance at one other item in this list.

  • Revolution X
  • Advance X
  • Aggression X
  • Potential X



The Easter bunny hid some runes for your weapons in our gashas as well. Snatch up a Wrath VIII or Fatal VIII, and you&#8217;ll have a chance of additionally scoring the other one, a Raid VIII, or an Accuracy VIII. If you choose Miracle VIII or Burst VIII, you could additionally find the other one, a Curse VIII, or an Accuracy VIII.

To ensure that you have maximal success in this Easter egg hunt, we&#8217;ve also designed gashas with Loot IV or Experience IV guaranteed. Those ones may also contain the other rune, an Advance V, or a Shield V.

Wrath VIII
Gasha: 59D's
Chance at one other item in this list.

  • Fatal VIII
  • Raid VIII
  • Accuracy VIII


Fatal VIII Gasha: 59D's
Chance at one other item in this list.

  • Wrath VIII
  • Raid VIII
  • Accuracy VIII


Miracle VIII Gasha: 59D's
Chance at one other item in this list.

  • Burst VIII
  • Curse VIII
  • Accuracy VIII


Burst VIII Gasha: 59D's
Chance at one other item in this list.

  • Miracle VIII
  • Curse VIII
  • Accuracy VIII


Loot IV Gasha: 99D's
Chance at one other item in this list.

  • Experience IV
  • Advance V
  • Shield V


Experience IV Gasha: 99D's
Chance at one other item in this list.

  • Loot IV
  • Advance V
  • Shield V



So collect those rune eggs and fill up your Easter baskets!

You can find the Weekend Special in the Item Shop under Hot Sales between Friday, the 29th of March 2013, at 1:00pm PDT and Tuesday, the 2nd of April 2013, at 5:00pm PDT.


Even though the price is standard for 1 rune. If the chance of gaining a second item is as elusive as finding those hidden "eggs" it really isnt much of a sale, give us ingame events to act out these holiday rituals not with our real $. Might aswel call this a regular sale and a few lucky ppl will get a couple extra runes. Not everyone can afford to buy 50 gasha like most op or wealthy players. So most if they are even going to buy them would only get 1 or 2. chances of getting extra item from that few higher chance of me taking a round trip of the world tomorrow and would be money well spent.

So all in all, this sale only benefits gf and a minority of players lucky enough to get what they need. the rest are just paying normal price.

no they weren't. Burst/fatal/miracle/wrath were on sale as VII for 12 Dias. These are VIII. This sale is actually pretty good.

Yes, 299 is the usual price, and I don't think they ever sold for less. So it is not a worse price for gasha form. Is it a better one? That depends on chance to get 2nd rune. We had gashas with high chances of success and some with low.

Unfortunately, due to relatively high price of items, I doubt we could easily establish any kind of user estimate on the chances of 2nd rune.

And, yes, it is expensive to equip with all X, but I seen people walking completely Xed on the first day of first ever sale of them.

Still no permanent back pack packages. Will hold my diamonds and wait. Because it is something that people really want it will probably be a very long wait.

Good point aardvark3 - if price still was 299 dias and as gift you get perma back, would buy it, even probably would go get some dias to get enough of them on all toons...

Last time we had them, we had them in package with + gems and price was 129 dias.... good old times.... when sales team knew how to 'sweeten' the deals...

It took the froggie usa team a LONG time to figure out how to make $$$ off of us. :) But when they did figure it out, everyone was happy.

Indeed. I hear Recon X, permanent backpack tickets, 30 day perfume and 60 minute immune potions are going to be in a package any day now.
