    Default Summary of Free player's rewards from Goblin Assault Event

    Now that the end of the event has been announced (I've deciphered it as 2014-06-10 16:30 UTC, post #25 ), it's possible to make a summary on the rewards of free runners.
    I have gathered these results from, eh, 15 toons.
    Total pink loot is 1 Gyrm, 2 Estebans (), and some Lockeds. All runs with luck elix and lepre.
    As you can see:
    1. Only about half the toons are able to buy Ironbite (shown in bold, assuming Chief Fury and no energy on the remaining runs).
    2. Every run counts. If you didn't get any free energy, or got low bosses at the start, it's gonna be tough.
    3. If the event was extended for just a few hours, pretty much everyone would get Ironbite, turning the total failure into mild disappointment.
    4. Depending on how much you PUGged/soloed, your results may vary.

    What did other free players get? How much you PUGged vs Soloed vs Partied?

    Energy Used Points Tokens Energy Left
    all 490 74 1
    all 460 67 1
    all 420 64 1
    all 450 62 1
    all 370 60 1
    all 400 60 1
    all 390 60 0
    all but 1 day 520 78 1
    all but 1 day 430 64 1
    all but 1 day 400 58 2
    all but 1 day 400 61 1
    all but 1 day 420 60 1
    all but 1 day 380 58 1
    all but 1 day 320 50 2
    all but 1 day 350 52 1

    For the inquisitive minds, the results differ so much because some people get many free energy while others get none.

    I just posted about this on the suggestion thread for the event.. looks like I got pretty lucky. I'm at 76 right now, I'll get two energy before the event ends tomorrow so 12 more if I'm lucky and get major payne, plus the two from the daily so 14 added to this for a total of 90 tokens for this event. I did not buy any energy at all and one energy was always on CD, but I did get lucky and got two free energy from the bosses. I also soloed every run, glad I did after finding out about the pug/party tier difference or I probably wouldn't have gotten the amount of tokens I have now.

    I will manage to get ironbite (which I personally don't want as a pet) on my main and 2-vanities-i-hate on my smurf. It is disappointing.

    I ran everyday with 3 toons. One was able to get ironbite with a total token count of 76+ whatever boss happens to drop with my final energy today. Another toon could get ironbite if this final boss drops energy for me. If not, I'll have to settle for 2 vanitys on my other two chars. All reached gold tier. Every character I used found a minimum of 4 energy from event bosses.

    Overall very disappointing event for free players. STS please change this for the next event.

    yup agree with the result, Ironbite would be the max you can get for free or at least you can have the blighted vanity if you use all the free energy

    Had to purchase 2 energy kits to get the ironbite for my 2nd toon, the vanity is cheap in cs so ironbite is better

    Actually you can get much more for free, I farmed free platinum purchases and bought tokens with plat, enabling me to get a glaive the first day

    I really don't understand everyone's frustration. Yes, investing money gets you more loot. Same is true for elite (via gear, potions, and luck kits. And, plat revives for plat players). You didn't even need plat so their really isn't an excuse. Everyone had an oppertuninty.

    IMO, It takes a while to learn what items will be valuable and how best to go about getting them Crow.

    New players really don't stand much of a chance unless they have lots of inside help - and most experienced players aren't willing to share that info.

    My biggest problem is that a free player didn't stand a chance in hell to get a weapon or the amulet by just waiting for their energy to return - you were literally forced to spend gold or plat on kits in order to obtain enough tokens to get them.

    Why am I being told how to spend my gold to get what I want from this event? No event in the past did I have to spend a dime of my hard earned gold to get what I wanted from the vendors. Why start now?

    There was a post from one of the devs that said we did not have to pay and everyone should be able to get a couple of items from the vendor, but as you can see from Milans chart across 15 toons results are pitifully slim at best, and with luck a little better than nothing.

    You're pretty much guaranteed a vanity for sure with minimal effort, but you're lucky if you get an Ironbite as a second prize unless you choose to get that from the start.

    So thanks for the handful of blight vanities, I look forward to selling them for 10k or less.

    Edit// If they're going to run in this model again in the future they should make so that even a free player can obtain enough tokens to get the best item available from the vendor, even if it ends up being their only reward at the end.

    At the end of the event running every time I had replenished energy not once did I ever loot any free energy. I was able to just buy the 25 token vanity with 15 useless tokens left a few minutes ago. Either way, I'm very short from any of the other prizes and I'm not wasting 100k+ just to buy a 50k ironbite. I'm still stuck in early/mid silver tier and this was by far the worst event I've ever participated for free in the STS games and I hope appropriate changes are made in the real event.

    Thanks for the free swamp vanity

    Mainly because the Ironbite requires over 2.5x tokens than the vanity set

    Crow, the frustration is how the whole event played out. Sure, we could have spent gold or plat to get more rewards or play it longer but that is a pay2play game. The items were cheaper to buy in CS than for people to buy kits or spend their plat. That's how I got my amulet.

    The problem is the direction this game is headed if a major revamp doesn't take place. If free players have nothing to do in the game then they leave. People that buy some plat that don't have tons of gold or plat to play these events leave. Now who's left? Heavy plat spenders? It's no fun for them when everyone else in the game is on their level so they leave. The option to spend money needs to be here but it should be an option. This event you were forced to pay or sit on the sidelines.

    I mean look at the cs value of the vanity-you can get if for less than 20k now. It will stay like that for a long time just like the other newer vanities. Ironbite will go up in price though, just like Vlad, Prance (had better stats though).
