A smallish update focused on the lottery today.
- The lottery has been expanded with a second drawing for armor. The two lotteries are time-offset 12 hours from each other, which means the armor drawing will be held at noon, that is, 12:00 UTC.

- A new item, the Golden Lottery Ticket, has been added. You can spend one (and only one) GLT on a lottery, which will immediately give you 1000 tickets. Additionally, at the time of drawing, it will double your effective tickets up to a maximum of 10% of the total tickets bought.
-- If you already have more than 10% of the total tickets, it will have no effect. If you have >5% and <10%, it will effectively give you 10%.
-- GLTs can only be won through the lottery, and cannot be traded.

- Secondary prizes have been changed. Instead of redistibuting some of the GP, the 2nd through 5th prize now consists of Golden Lottery Tickets, Precursor Artifacts and Blood/Chaos Tokens. The number of each will increase with the total number of tickets purchased.
If you encounter any bugs or other problems, post about them here.

Thanks for the update (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/happy.gif)

Thanks a lot, guys.
The ONLY fun thing left in the game, and you all ruined it.

Don't thank us, thank f_riz and alex0 (and whoever else got banned). So many high level players sent to outer-space in the past 6months. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

>Precursor prize sux. hard.

Can i have your peerless gloves of heimdall Tenb?

Skillchip is taking notes from those gloves right now

So is the golden lottery ticket an actual drop? Or is it only available as the second place prize?

Oh cool, thanks. Well that excludes me from ever getting one, I've never even placed in a lottery, lol.

Nice work! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Thank you, I like it!!! (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)


(Just wondering can I chioce to only bid for the 5th prize?
Anyway It's much more valuable to me than others even the grand ones sometime... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)


By the way, can we have the formula of the relationship between the Tokens in the lottery and the amount of tickets' total number?

I think it is not a linear one... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/faint.gif)

I would rather like to win some GP than the 3rd prize...

By the way is there a reason why there is no longer the "% note" of how many tickets you hold ?

Is there a reason why the Armor Lottery 3-5th prizes are shittier than the Weapon Lottery?

edit: Oh, wait I see it. It also increases based on the amount of tickets. Don't know if that's good or bad.

This patch make me feel like firefall player (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Thanks for the patch Tenboro.

So after all that speculation, this new patch ended up not touching the inter-class balance matter at all, which is, ironically, precisely what I need. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

*hightails back to naval base*

Prediction: The armor generated is going to be T1 trash 9 times out of 10.

T1 trash, that 9 times out of 10, will still be good enough for me (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I wonder how much more expensive it will be to buy GP with 50% of the lottery stakes no longer reentering circulation.

Hooray, another thing to envy the rich players for! Ah well. There's always next update to laugh at their tears when balance goes crazy. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif)

GP Exchange has already jumped from about 200 Credits to 250 Credits.

There is a slim ray of hope for none contributors. Just wait for some legendary leather and put in your 1 ticket and hope for the 2nd place.

Hmm I seem to recall a line thrown out there in the lottery rich richer poor poorer thread about it "working as intended"...

Oh, hello 0.79 (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
