Do You Feel Lucky?

Chest Running title+Lucky+Unlucky ftw.

Me likey lucky!

TY MSecorsky

Don't know the real numbers, but in HM I see better than 80% gold to purple ratio.

I need 40,000 more lucky points.. so that means I need 20,000 tries to get lucky! lol

ehh not bad Ill be CR this weeked

And to think there couldn't be a more pointless event than Double Skill Capping?

I'd be fine with double Lucky points...except that each rank requires atleast 50 thousand freaking points...you need 50000 points just to get to Rank 1!

That's 100 Lockpick saves. For a person with low lockpicking, that's 1000 chests just to get the minimal benefit. I don't think it's possible to open that many chests in a weekend.

If ArenaNet really wanted to do a good weekend, double the lockpick retention rate!

Hm, look at the numbers... 500 versus 50. That tells you something, doesn't it? 50, which adds up fairly quickly, and 500, which they probably don't want you to get as quickly.

There's gonna be a lot of broken, wasted lockpicks this weekend.

I think they should triple the points to 1500 or 1000 in order for us to get close to Lucky title?

and i thought the double scroll drop weekend was retarted....

just a comment...
It feels like these Lucky point benefit items are are on the low side with the max tier of Lucky being 2,500,000 (as far as we know).

Four-leaf Clovers... 4 points IF you get the 15% dp removal. 4 points? Those aren't available as drops anymore and I imagine most people are saving the ones they have left for their own use in HM. A real 'lucky prize' may be something like 1,000 points if you hit the 15% and scaled down for any other percent.

Lockpicks... 250 points IF it doesn't break (500 this weekend?). Leaving out the fact that mine break on first use almost every time, it seems like it should be... how about 250 just for using and 1,000 if retained.

Rings games are only available every so often and I guess they're mainly a gold sink. The Nine Rings 'big winner' per round could use buffs over 25, 40 and 55 though.

just suggestions

Id rather have a double chance to keep lockpicks.

/yawn.. Yet Another totally lackluster weekend event. Someone wake me when anet comes up with something that isn't bad.

The elite cap weekend was not a useless one. Many people took it to their advantage using that weekend to go for their titles. My monk has only 180 skill points and this is 10 months after creation. For my title i need 300 more elites. I wish i took more advantage of that weekend...

Besides your Anet bash, This weekend is still usefull as well. I mean if your going for the title, might as well do it this weekend, work on THREE titles at the same time.

Just as how cutting an arm off is "useful" in curing a disease, right?

Hyperbole aside, do you seriously think that people will think "OMG, thank you ArenaNet, I've always wanted to spend an entire weekend (plus several million gold) to get titles which have no effect other than to allow you to spend not as many milllions of gold?!

Four, if you consider IDing the gold you get too.

Zzzzzzzzzzzz

Wake me when it's over.

Hey guys. Have anyone tried using lockpicks on lower end chest in normal mode? According to Guildwiki, those chests has inherent higher probability to keep lockpick intact. If it's true, maybe I'll be lockpicking all those Istani chest...maybe worthwhile. And this weekend may not be so dumb after all.

Lol! I haven't even SEEN a freakin lock pick, so big deal.

KANE

I wonder how many peoples will be buying 250 stack of lock picks!
