View Full Version : Unit Drops More Frequent!


DivineRight
12-12-2003, 04:15 AM
Prior to now, drop frequencies happened approximately once every 72 hours. Many of our loyal TAO members complained that they never saw any unit drops so we have modified the occurance of a unit drop to approximately once every 30 hours. This is sure to be welcomed news by anyone who requires a needed boost to their current army!

Also note that this is random, so you will get a unit drop around every 30 hours but not right on the 30 hour mark.

Admin/Mods do not know when the unit drops are so don't ask them please.:)

But I heard some guy name Jebb_332 knows... you might want to ask him...;)

Nice. Maybe I'll have a chance to win another cleric. I lost my extra cleric moments after winning it when my account got trashed on Banff right after I went gold.

they should say us the time casu someone will have a drop and he'll say us when... so... we must w8 only more or less 30 hours... and... that's stupid not saying the time but if they prefer like this i don't mind (i actually have not seen a drop :P)

Your english is about as broken as a redneck's teeth. It's damn near impossible to understand. **They should tell us...** not They should say us.

No they shouldn't tell the time.

This itself might be off-topic, so to counterbalance that the Dark Lord will proclaim that he, although never receiving any drops before this announcement, obtained a Scout and a Dark Magic Witch since this new drop time occurred. Now, to my off-topic question. Would an administrator delete an announcement post if the replys within became too off-topic? I hope this question does not encourage off-topic posting in this section, but this is just an inquiry of mine.

Your friendly neighborhood Dark Lord,
Wurtil

I love you Wurtil! Of course the only chance I had for a drop was a loss :mad:

Muy bien! No es facil por escriben en otros lenguas. Por ejemplo, yo estudio Espanol en mi universidad en el Estados Unidos pero tu Ingles es mas bueno que mi espanol. Escriba mas, amigo, los juegadoras aqui no comprende tu situacione

I've been playing almost every night for the past 3 weeks and I have yet to see a unit drop. I typically play at night on the Eastern time zone anywhere from 9 - midnight.

Are the times randomized as well, cause I find it kinda odd I have yet to experience a unit drop... (87 games played too).

Rescorlian
12-17-2003, 07:43 AM
They occur randomly within a 30 hour time limit

Very good! It isn't easy to write in other languages. For example, I study Spanish at my university in the United States but my English is much better than my Spanish. Write more, friend, the players here don't understand your situation.

I just felt an odd need to translate that :). Except for a few odds and ends thats a literal translation.

nos americanas vergüenza con su habilidad en idiomas de foriegn. nos norteamericanos no gustamos saber otros idiomas.

That's probably way off, but hey, I don't have Spanish IV until second semester.

i agree with the spanish guy :)
would be nice if they would have informed us when will the next drop take part in.

forgive me for the bad grammer spelling
me < israelian guy, 15 y\o.

Proper english would have that sentence go like this:

It would be nice they would inform us when the next drop will occur. Just a little help there, vyngiloT.
BUT

The idea of the drops is to be random, and to just happen whenever, not so that you can play, and then wait til one minute before the drop and then play. Defeats the purpose of the drops.

vyngiloT
01-09-2004, 06:12 AM
i disagree with you, the idea is to create competition. i think drops can be done in both ways, randomly and not randomly. they should also occur more frequnetly.

Cuathon
01-10-2004, 01:37 PM
if they werent random there would be a massive influx of grays at hte time it happenened and then we would be facing greys with 7 witches

Wouldn't mind if you stopped posting the same thing twice, but giving a set pattern just isn't right. The drops should be random.

Doesn't the main page say 5 unit drops every 24 hours??

Anyway, I must have an affinity for pyros too, 3 out of my 4 winning unit drops have been pyros. The 4th was an assassin.

I must be uber lucky... Having played for less than a week I've gotten:

-1 Pyromancer
-1 Enchantress
-3 Clerics
-1 Dark Magic Witch

getting 2 useful units in 6 drops is lucky now?

Parable
05-05-2004, 09:28 AM
I say.... make the drops more random and frequent. Hook the thing up to a random numbers generator and just let it go whenever it feels like. Five hours between one drop, then 7, then 2, then 10, then 4.... randomness is a fun thing. ENTROPY I SAY..... ENTROPY!!!!!!

Office_Shredder
05-29-2004, 09:51 PM
well, sucks to be you then ;)

there's a reason they're called RARE

+He 4th 4sight
05-30-2004, 02:33 PM
I would like to see you guys add "rare drops" on Banff Great Lakes, and Army... because greys have little power against gold units*cough* golems*cough* and a mud golem would be great... plus it would not be a freebe unit like you get when you make an account you have to earn it by playing well and at the right time.

Office_Shredder
05-30-2004, 02:46 PM
You just want that because you're grey.... ;)

I would hate rare drops on the three base servers, it would give them a very legendsy feel... besides, then everyone would complain that the lucky SOBs who get rare drops would be indomitable... and be pretty much correct

+He 4th 4sight
05-30-2004, 03:11 PM
I made a thread in suggestions with this same idea... it explains why i want rare drops...

And your arguments there are also invalid.

Sorry, but I would have to agree with The Fat One there. ;)

b-ballknight25
06-02-2004, 06:36 PM
Ya rare drops would not be good on these servers, if greys want things like golems let them bye a gold account. I mean $5 a month is not alot.

Spyke72
06-02-2004, 09:26 PM
I agree, but I thought Mud Golems were already available in rare drops on the home servers. Is that wrong? It sounds like it is, and then it makes my comment sound pretty n00bish....
I'm talking to myself agian, aren't I?
I really have to stop that.
*slaps himself*
Are drops 5 times a day, or is it still once every 30 hours? I'm comfused....:D

Bottle
06-02-2004, 10:17 PM
5 times per day. And rare drops are only available on revelations.

So I took the third derivative of the titration and buffered it with resistivity until transversion and base changes disassociated the sodium hydroxide
