Prizes are all guaranteed eventually

Jordan428

Thats not so much guaranteed as it's virtually impossible to get 80 boxes of each. Unless your Willink to spend a lot of donuts on eggs.

Edit: 81 gold boxes? At this rate ill be there in 2155.

What EA's guarantees are.....

Uh I got hugs bunny and it sure wasn't 81 boxes

I have opened 8 gold boxes so far, about halfway through the event, and I have been actively tapping the whole time. If things continue at the current rate, I won't even have opened enough by the end to even have a CHANCE at Ms. Bobbins.

The guarantee is nice, but the minimum box requirements are not and the guarantees aren't likely going to matter, aside from the common-color box.

That's not what the OP said. After opening Max 81 boxes you are guaranteed to get Hugs Bunny. You can get it sooner, you can even get it in your first Gold box. Just not later than 81 boxes.

Hugs Bunny is guaranteed at 81 boxes.
Father Sean is guaranteed at 50 boxes.
Bunny #24601 is guaranteed at 20 boxes.
Banana Dictatorship is guaranteed at 15 boxes.

The only things I don't see "guaranteed" are the boxes. That list is like saying that if you win the 20 million dollar jackpot, you're guaranteed to be a multimillionaire. Its a bunch of crap.

81 boxes of all three colours.

With 3 boxes per day they would have been guaranteed but for those who don’t have yet the Faberge Egg thing are way too difficult. Also don’t forget that if you want 1 Gold Box You will Need at least 2 Pink Boxes. So that gives you a better probability to reach 81 boxes when you try a new Gold Box.

The theory was good the execution was disastrous.

richardaca969

Yeah, I got Chirpy and Bart Jr in my fifth box....

I've gotten seven gold boxes this event. That's not half enough to unlock Shary Bobbins, let alone guarantee her.

Now that I'm nearing a week with no Faberge egg, thus no baskets, it looks like I might not even win enough fences to get the 15 doughnuts let alone get anywhere near Shary Bobbins or other additional decent prizes. And I visit 100 neighbors every day. Frankly, if I can manage to get Johnny Fiesta's (from my uncommon box), I might just stop playing right there. That's pretty much my only worthwhile goal now.

Actually it is at 81 gold boxes it is guaranteed, not 81 boxes in total. Maybe EA has intended it to be 81 boxes in total, but this wouldn’t be the first time they screwed up with their programming.

The math is disgusting. I don't have my notes with me but I worked it out the other day. Assuming you spun you common boxes first, and had to go all the way to 81 boxes to clear, you'd need 291 uncommon boxes to get enough gold eggs to meet the "guarantee" for Sherry. The odds are such that it's very unlikely you have to hit the guarantee on all the boxes, but still. It seems like these guarantees are mostly in the code just to give the impression that the prizes are guaranteed but to not actually allow anyone to win the prizes unless they buy boatloads and boatloads (or obtain donuts illegally).

I'm interpreting your first sentence as "81 boxes of all three colors combined". If that's what you mean, then you are mistaken. Father Sean is guaranteed after 50 boxes. I didnt get him until i had used at LEAST 90.

I bought three silos/barns on the second day of the event... At 22 boxes per silo, that was 66 boxes. Then i bought two trucks of my uncommon color to get more gold eggs . That brought my grand total of boxes that day to at least 88. Still no Father Sean. Finally got him as my last item the next day, after my generator spit out (the wrong color of) 300 eggs.

My son's town, after well over 20 boxes days ago, got bunny#24601 (guaranteed at 20 boxes) this morning, and still has not won Banana Dictatorship.(Guaranteed at 15 boxes.)

I am convinced that the " 81 boxes" guarantee does not apply to 81 combined total. From what i see, Shary Bobbins, is guaranteed at 81 GOLD boxes.

This event is awful, and absence of explanation from EA so we have to find stuff in their code is deplorable.

Just sayin'.

You're sorta right you only need at least 2 pink boxes if your common color is blue but if your common color is pink you will need at least two blue boxes

I haven't seen this debate answered definitively, but I still think the 81 boxes are counted independently. If it was 81 of all boxes, there'd be reports of people clearing a bunch of prizes successively and that hasn't occurred. Besides, if it was 81 total why would we need to trade eggs in baskets? You could just spin 80 common boxes and then a couple of blue and gold at the end to win everything.

Doubt I'll get 15 gold boxes by the end.

Lowered expectations several times during this event. Now I would be happy if I get the blue and pink buildings.

Thanks Annete! I think this answers this debate as far as I am concerned.

Considering I bought over 120 boxes worth of eggs with donuts and didn't have Father Sean or Sherry Bobbins - that's proof enough that it would be gold. I did get Father Sean like 3 days later, but still missing Bobbins. So hopefully she will be attainable without buying more boxes of eggs.

GamerGD3

I think if anything, the uncommon box should be 100% chance of 300 gold eggs after 80 boxes - then make the tree, pond - all those decorations purchasable with game cash. There's no reason why I need more than 30 of those trees, let alone more than 100 pieces of fences. I think at this point, I should just get the gold and spin out the gold prizes. These past 6 spins on the uncommon box have been everything but gold eggs. All I need is GOLD, not another tree, not another section of fencing - just solid gold eggs.

whats got me IRKED Is i have also bought Eggs. Did EA force my hand NO! was it my Choice YES! But the game is rigged if it was solely based on a game of chance it would be fine. but how is it a game of chance if its rigged Like your guaranteed to get Shari bobbins by 81 boxes. that means the odds are stacked against you. In this world if you Pay for something you should get some tangible back for your effort just like if you save up for a car you save your money in hopes of one day buying a car but your getting something you want.

I do not think their is a person out there that wants to spend money for 75 fences pieces, 8 Easter gates 25 beach towels, 15 trees, 4 egg piles, 6 ponds. I spent money in hopes of getting 2 characters that i wanted only to be screwed over by a corporation to make a buck How many more billions does EA Need?

I am not asking for it free but i should have a FAIR chance without spending cash as long as I'm willing to put in effort, to get said Item if i did not win then i should not get it. But i have Paid Real $ stop with the bait and switch tactics.

Back in the early days of MMO you got rewarded for your dedication by camping sites and mobs to get rare loot. even if you camped it and did not need the item you could sell that rare item for in game cash to another player. but you were rewarded Everybody had a fair chance to win said item it all depended on how good as a game player you were and how much effort you were willing to put in. unlike this game they want you to play but they only give you breadcrumbs or steal your hard earned money and give you nothing but POOP.
