Were dailies prizes better a few years ago or was it just me? I remember that it was a lot easier to win Tombola back then. I haven't really kept a log (because I'm not that dorky) but if 2 out of 10 numbers get you a prize, then you should win something about once every 5 plays, but it's probably closer to once every 10-15.

Also, I haven't gotten a dubloon from Coltzan once since I've been back on Neo, and it's been a few months already. A few years ago, he basically threw them out into the sand like once a week. It's a lot harder to find a prize fault for the Tomb as well.

Did Neo make the dailies prizes crappier or is it just me?

with all the millionaires *suddenly* appearing they probably decided to balance it out.. by making it even more unbalanced XD

[outsidedream86]

Maybe they decided to cut back because of all the codestones and stuff you can win playing key quest. That is, if you can even play it without your browser freezing up *grumbles*

I personally haven't noticed a big difference but I'm not on quite as often as I used to be.

True. When I played Neo years ago Coltzan was scratching the hell out of my back. Now I go to visit him very little because when I started back up all it was was "Mysetious noise in the distance" or whatever. Or burnt desert food, nothing more...

That was what I was told. <BR><BR>Another daily that got nerf is probably turdle racing. It's so hard to win now.

The last time I won anything decent from the Fruit Machine is when the game had a glitch and I abused it to death. I must have won over forty Paint Brushes.

My other half won a Spotted Paint Brush and he's been playing for only a month.

[Kyuu]

When did it have a glitch?

Woah, super jealous.

It must have been in 2002 or 2003. Very long ago

But my pets were weak. That's what I mean. He never did anything for me when I started my new account.

It always sucks now
It's just NP. At least they used to give out a red/green apple with some NP earlier this year. But nope... no more

[saarth]

This maybe a bit irrelevant, but in one of the recent editorials TNT mentioned that some of their dailies were working on the older economy, therefore the prizes given out are according to the old economic structure (from about 2000-'01) and needs an overhaul. Therefore the prizes recieved were the same then, just costed a little more.

[CraigChrist]

my dailys suck too everything is usually only worth 1 np or so. Its kinda frustrating

But my point was that you receive prizes from dailies less often, not so much that it's worth less. Basically, like, Tombola, Fruit Machine, Coltzan's Shrine, Deserted Tomb etc etc all used to give out more prizes than they currently do. That has nothing to do with the value of the prizes that are given out... mostly the fact that it doesn't really happen anymore.

[saarth]

Oh, that, well I'm not sure.
Maybe they did it to control the deflation of the price of the prizes? But it makes no sense doing that to items that don't even get picked up from the money tree.

[sealonfire]

I guess they want to control the amount of millionaires.

The chances of winning a luck game is considerably lower than the past.

but when do they get the clue? it SUCKS

[Cyo]

People win green apples, olive jars and cans of prune juice less often, big deal.

Then again the formula which calculates the prize could very well have a part in it that takes into account or is influenced by the amount of users there are.
Eg. there are x amount of fairies given out in y period of time but since there are more users nowadays than compared to 2000~ then the time-frame in which you can acquire a bottled whore is much smaller than 10 years ago.

[Kyuu]

Okay, you can make a point but do you really have to resort to unnecessary racial slurs to do so? You look so mature doing it.

[GrenadeApple]

Well, yeah daily prizes suck but random events are getting better.
Atleast for me!
Yesterday i got 2 PB.
And today i got 1 TCG card worth 100k.
So yeah i agree but also think random events are getting better.

I would like proof

I have never gotten a random event PB, just been zapped by Sloth into a different color.

Cyo's avatar makes up for everything he says. How can anyone be upset with such a beautiful person?

[GrenadeApple]

Sorry i have no proof.
Btw it where not rare paintbrushes it where a Coockie and a Green.

*facepalm* Jew is a racial slur when used to mean "cheap bastard" and not used as a reference to a fucking religion of people.


Oh- and didn't Coltzan's shrine used to run on a clock? I remember something about clicking it at a certain second of the minute gave you a specific prize. Like if you got it at 0.0.0 (midnight on the button) you ALWAYS got... something. I forget what the prize was, honestly.

I -know- this used to be the case because I exploited it verily. Any chance of it still being the same?

Jews are an ethnoreligious group, that's why people who don't practice Judaism can still be Jewish by heritage. Using it as an insult regardless of what you meant it as is still a racial slur. It doesn't make it better if we just interpreted what you mean wrong.

Coltzan's doesn't run on a clock anymore as far as I'm aware. I've tried the dubloon thing at the :55 mark, and nope. ):

Just because the old charts don't work any more, doesn't mean it doesn't have a time table. They probably gave Coltzan's Shrine an overhaul by changing the time tables because the old one is too well known and predictable which makes easy millionaires (or at least a good cash flow).

The last few years, I would do all my dailies in the morning at almost the exact same time before school (give or take a minute or two) and Coltzan's shrine would give Dubloons about 50% of the time. Now with my crazy college schedule, I have no way to try at the same time everyday to see if prizes are consistent.
