Hammerjaw - First Arcane Rarity Pet possible from Locked Watchman Crates

**SuRfY** · 01-31-2013, 04:21 PM

Makes me wonder at times how much plat wasted is actually bought with money instead of free offers. LOL.

Yes it was, but this is insane I've only heard of 3 drops of it. And I'm guessing around half a mil of plat spent.

Well I must say either ppl should wait for a day or not.. I've just got done spending 1.5k plat on this locked crate opening and haven't gotten a thing.. I'd rather pay 500 and just buy it.. Your making crate prices rise while keeping the cost to open at 15 plat with a .001% to get it... I've bought ALOT of crates at 9k each.. Now I have to worry about crates being 50k and still losing 1.5k platinum.. Which costed me 90$ in REAL life just to not even get it yet.... Fix this pls.. I would def want to speak to a DEV and see if I shouldn't have spent 1.5 plat and waited till tomm.. If I should have it by now pls work this out.. I'm very saddened... I feel very robbed and cheated 1.5 plat for any item in a game is Lot of real life money..

The only way you could get it was as a rare card included in the WoW trading card game packs. I didn't even play the WoW trading card game, but man my undead priest would look _sweet_ on one, ya know? A friend convinced me that I'd be sure to get one if I went in with him and bought $100 of cards with him ($200 total). So, off I went to the game store and dropped the $100. After much opening of packs, I was not rewarded with a Spectral Tiger

Collectible Cards Games have rare chase items as pretty standard practice. I guess Baseball cards coined it first, but really, Hammerjaw is the same thing. We hope you get some value out of everything else you get out of the Crates - the armor has unique looks, the stats on the Rifle, Sword 'n Shield and Bow are the best you can get of those items, for example.

At the end of the day, if you want to talk with us about any purchase you make, please contact our Support Team who can assist you: http://support.spacetimestudios.com

Thanks very much for your support of Arcane Legends.

What we have here is a mobile game that kids use Thier parents credit cards for to buy this platinum, 100$ for a mobile game where you stand around 90% of the time and the pet just sits there and can't carry you it's kind of a bit much to ask... It shouldn't be a random thing unless you take away the plat req to open the chest or drop it really low like to 3 plat per chest.. To be all honest even if I spent 100$ worth of plat and at the very end opened my last crate and got it.. I'm not sure i would have felt happy after that amount gone.. Either way I guess I'm out 100$ and will have to save a few mil gold to buy the egg.. I just feel really cheated and sad.. You guys had me intrested and so strung to this game till this event....

I'm starting to lose interest in AL not to mention STS games in general. This has become very plat oriented very fast. Two plat pets out before there is even a rly hard farmable drop? Idk but no matter the spin you guys put on it. STS is changing. Not sure it is for the better......

Hey Sweetnsour,

Just for clarity, that is a pretty big over generalization to characterize Platinum buyers as kids nicking their parents credit cards. I totally understand trying to get something, not getting it and then feeling bummed

We do feel that we went out of our way to express the rarity of Hammerjaw. He is a new rarity type and is incredibly rare. We do plan to add more Arcane items in the future (and ones that drop from mobs), but they will always be the sort of thing that you can't really go out and get. You've just got to be really lucky - like those who win the lottery.

Ok I over shot with the kids credit card thing lol, but how about this it's MY hard earned money for a chance at a pet that or might cost WAY more then any other pet you guys have ever had in any of your games... Like you said lottery haha just disappointed with your guys method this time.. Seemed like a low blow.

**hebron03** · 01-31-2013, 05:30 PM

, huh , this is worst dan playin cards on casino nd gamble , like a lottery ? , lol my grand mother always buy lottery everyday since i was a kid , nd she didnt win any prices until she died , so your saying even if i spend a 1000$ here if im not lucky im not gona get dat Hammerjaw ? . . .

Thanks for the clarity, just please put out a droppable one soon....

**azefekie** · 01-31-2013, 05:40 PM

See and i got an infraction for laughing at people complaining lol. no one is making anyone "waste" plat

@sweetnsour: yes it is your hard earned money...then don't "waste" it. Sam told everyone it was a "very rare pet"...now everyone has a problem when they can't get it. Makes a game more interesting when you can't just get everything you want right away.

You'll never be able to get it unless you spend plat to open the crate.. "Wasting" money is gold to me wasting plat isn't quiet the same but I get it.. I'm sure some will get it on a few crates and then the others like me will never get it.. Even if we spend 200-300 real life dollars.. I see the balance in that... Very rare.. Much fun to get.. How I don't know.. Like I said I'm mad but oh we'll it's a pet ill never see or waste plat on again.

**azefekie** · 01-31-2013, 05:50 PM

dude then use your plat on gold and buy one, some people don't care about the title or banner they just want gold and will be selling the pets. I'm not sure how long you have played STS's games but a lot of people have spent thousands of dollars..I'm not talking in a whole I'm talking about one person spending that much. I myself have spent well over 200-300$ on STS games but nowhere near what others have.

**Xman** · 01-31-2013, 06:09 PM

I don't really understand what r u debating for? this is a rarity pet, just the name say how rare it is. And it's your choice to "wasting" money on it or not, if you do and can't get it, blame yourself first. If u lucky and got it, good for u, u will be recognized in a crowd (u will not be recognized in a crowd in which 20 others also have it lol).

Btw, have to say that I quite disappointed with the update, I'm still waiting for the day they remove the 2s invincible shield team buff of warrior. Just their team heal buff alone (which is much better than a mage's buff lol) makes me feel annoying enough.

**Ladycandyheal** · 01-31-2013, 06:26 PM

You won't be able to get a refund either.

**Tilax** · 01-31-2013, 07:20 PM

Sad story. no refund

**razerfingers** · 01-31-2013, 07:22 PM

Solution- spent $300 getting gold cap and buy it xD then you can buy and not feel ripped off bingo!

Sent using blood on a bathroom wall

**parnasofication** · 01-31-2013, 08:03 PM

Its arcane rarity, what did you guys expect? Get it in 5-10 chests? Does "exceedingly rare" mean anything to you? Besides, we had the 50% bonus platinum for first time purchase and the 40% discount to compensate for this. Its not like you get nothing if you open it with no hammerjaw, you're still guaranteed a pink.

Tip?
Open the crates with a level 6,10,16 or whatever level those twinks get their #%^& on . The watch items at that level range are worth more than at the 21 range anyway.
