TalantM Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 It is/was a good idea. I really like the idea, but it's 2 months long, and i have literallly every item short of the rancor after about 6 hours. I had some ideas to keep it fresh. 1. Leave the casino/gambling in after the event. At the events end, remove the certificate vendors (and put them back if and when you do another event. 2. Cycle the rewards. If you can only win them in jackpot drops, you can cycle what drops from the jackpots and at what rates. That would both serve to keep people coming there and keep them excited to do so. New vanity items are always on the top of people's wishlists (it would also continue to drain credits from the in game econimy, which is a goal you have expressed) As an alternate suggestion, because it's so easy to get everything in a relatively short amount of time fairly cheaply (6 bind on legacy weapons, 2 mouns, 1 heal item, 1 pet and a bind on legacy armor set for 1.6 mil is a steal and it only takes 15 ish runs of oricon to get that much, assuming you do no other dailies and don't craft and only have 1 55, that's 2 weeks, I have 4 55's so it's like 3 days) would be to cycle the rewards during any subsequent event week/months in the future, if you don't already intend to and don't like the idea of keeping it in fairly permanently, to keep people motivated to come back each week and get new stuff. I'm not going to lie, once i have the rancor (if the rng gods are kind that will be within the week) I won't have any reason to go back and do any more of the 2 month long event, which is kinda sad.

Korithras Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I would like to point out to you that getting the mount(s) so early in the event is nothing but blind luck and the RNG gods decided to show you favor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheetahs Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 It could also use a much wider variety of games, especially those that have an actual probability of winning instead of complete blind luck. Black Jack, Roulette, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalantM Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 I would like to point out to you that getting the mount(s) so early in the event is nothing but blind luck and the RNG gods decided to show you favor. Only true to an extent. I just got the rancor like 2 hours ago and spend a grand total of 1.8 mil. It's blind luck, but stastically average (if dulfy has their calcualtions right) 2.3 mil or so is the average cost of getting the rancor, which means you should probably have everything else by then and I have absolutely no reason to go back now that I do. I got., Every item in the event in like 2 days, most of which wasn't spent doing the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kymerous Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I have now dropped just over 5 mil on the slots, and won a grand total of 5 golden tickets (maybe I will go see Willy Wonka instead)... the RNG gods HATE me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalantM Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 did you buy kingpin chips? That would be a fantastic way to go through a **** ton of money and get like nothing. Buy smugglers chips, win kingpin chips, get the feeling lucky buff (also with smugglers chips) and then spin the kingpin. I got like 50 of the stupid things. I have multiples of items the holo slot machine and pat just to not have the certificates in my inventory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nazdika Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) It could also use a much wider variety of games, especially those that have an actual probability of winning instead of complete blind luck. Black Jack, Roulette, etc It could also have something interesting about it. Hard to imagine it more boring, really.

Mubrak Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) Right now it's like a fair raffle - you buy tickets for a chance to win a prize. In a casino you gamble to win money. While it actually fits to the spirit of a huttese holiday, the casino still should have a purpose for the rest of the year, so a couple of suggestions: Always active: Leave the vendors and smuggler's slot machines in game, maybe even add some to the main casino area Change the Kingpin chip winnings to, say, 10 or 20 smuggler's chips (or a random sum of 10-50 chips) and keep the golden certificate jackpotAllow us to sell back smuggler's chips for 1000 credits, so we can go to the casino to try and win a fortune During the Event (a monthly huttese rip-off fair, designed to make the event's Hutt patron fat and wealthy) Add the Kingpin Machines and the prize-displays to the lobbyAdd Kingpin chips to the vendor and allow us to buy one with 50 smuggler's chips as well. (50.000 credits simply sounds a lot more than paying with those 50 chips we just won)Maybe (just maybe) add some scoundrel-style dailies to the event (obtaining and smuggling some embargoed hutt-delicacies, robbing the casino's treasury, etc.) so we'd have another event with class-themed quests.

IAmFurious Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I agree with the OP that making this a year round event that cycles through a variety of new prizes would really be the way to go - every month or two add a new set of grand prizes to win - and every 4 - 6 months cycle in new rewards to get with the Gold Certificates.
