STS, am I doing something wrong? Or is it you?

[Noodleleg]

So recently, a friend and I started to become skeptical on how many cheats have been smashed... Now, I'm gonna give rough estimates and averages and calculate exactly how many we can go through in 6 days.

Let's say...
150 chests per dungeon
3 minutes to complete
20 runs going on at the same time

So that means:

50 per minute... 20 going on... So, 1000 a minute?

1000 X 1440 = 1,440,000

So about 1.4 million in a day, right..

Now...

1.4 million X 6 days = 8,400,000 in 6 days...

What's up?! Let's even lower the averages!


Let's say:
100 chests per dungeon

So that brings me to about 1,000,000 a day...

So obviously, that's 6,000,000 in 6 days...




~I don't know if I'm doing anything wrong, but it definitely is very different from STS's numbers...

[CrimsonTider]

I agree with you. I scan the games when taking short breaks and there is always at least 15-20 games going at once. And your average of "150" is close because the lower level dungeons are approximately 120-130 and the higher levels have close to 200.

I wonder if it is a Jedi mind-trick to get us to continue to smash.... o.O

"These are not the numbers you are looking for. Keep smashing."

Lmao ikr? Turns out I'm a Jedi too so it doesn't work on me >:-D!

As someone said in another thread its a conspiracy to get us to play more

... Or some chests are fake and they just act like chests so that we can't actually run the maths accurately.

Lwmark had something really interesting yesterday: we traded and we was showing be a purple forgotten blade, can't remember the level of it. It had some nice stats and Lwmark insisted: LOOK at the blade!!! I didn't get it at first but when I clicked on the 'view on avatar' tick box: IT WAS A STAFF. So I reckon that if staves can hide as blades, tables can hide as chests.

Maybe we destroyed 1mil chests and 5mil tables. Ultimately, STS is always right (to answer the original question!) :-)

that was a bug

[Mothwing]

I completely agree. I dunno if it's their attempt to add suspense to the game, or just a way for us to pay for more elixirs. But either way I have a problem with it. If we made a goal, we deserve to be notified. And if they're worried that we did it too easily, then make it harder next time.

[xcainnblecterx]

I seen lwmark with that staff/blade.was swingingit around like a sword and I was,thinking wth thats a staff

[Pakax]

agreed (on a more serious note)

[trunzoc]

I confused my guildies with that blade. They all thought I respecced. Then I whipped out my Crusher and they were like "OK, Dual-Spec" and then I whipped out my phantom bow and they were like WTF?!

[Pakax]

I'd call that a beautiful ladybird instead of a bug - thought this one was really cool :-))

that was a bug

[BoomBox]

Heh i have a couple of those items on my twink

[Elitephonix]

Have you check there facebook page yet? We got 1 more day, and we need to smash 1.7 m chest.

[Walkhardd]

Keep smashing

[KingFu]

Don't forget all the people rage quitting at Frag, and people skipping chests add up quick. I'd say some runs can take far longer than 3 minutes. When I was leveling my bird, I literally had to solo a 40-49 frag as a 32 while my entire party sat dead. The run took a good 10 minutes.

[MightyMicah]

I'd say the error is in the 3 minute runs. I ran four rounds with people on thrasher in 30 minutes.

Lawlz u zlo bro

[Whirlzap]

I shall attempt to explain this.

FRAGX is actually a boss that is a fragment of time and space, explaining why he appears in all level ranges AKA time passed between each level, and in anywhere in the Forgotten Dungeon, hence the name Space-time Studios.
Being the ultimate fragment, FRAGX is creating many conspiracies with the chest count, by modifying smashed chests and re-arranging the strands of time.
FRAGX is able to create illusions and can actually make himself look like Ellie, Vinnie, Amira, or The Fallen Prince.
This explains the ability for all these NPCs to be in each town and game at the same time.

Theory is 100% correct by the way

Don't ever use math to solve problems....... :P

[slaveleia]

^lmao @xWhirlz. Let's keep it positive, those Devs in the Big state of Texas are nice ppl & are trying their hardest to bring out new campaigns/special events for everyone. (maybe they haven't solved every issue or bug..some things take time-research) Take it easy with accusations & raging...maybe the counter is inaccurate but it would be boring if they just gave everyone the vanity...they tried to make it interesting (a challenge). Most things in this world are not perfect...can we expect that in this game?

Too much mob mentality in the forums & ppl getting angry too fast.

I'm not talking about the orig poster, he was just curious.
