Shortest STS video ever

Well, i hate gambling, i know my luck is one of the worst kind. i hate depending solely on luck.
Hammerjaw wont be my pet. It will be like owning a Lambhorgini, only instead of going, wow how rich the owner is, i get to think: What a lucky fellow!
I won't complain as much if that arcane pets is available for, say 500 plats instead of "depends on ur luck", let the dice roll.
STS is turning to gambling revenue.

Instead of focusing on finding ways to get players to gamble away their plats to earn more revenue, why not focus on improving the game and gameplay, make us feel we have received so much entertainment from this game so that we willingly pay for the plats. Or that plats improve your play experience. This is what happened to me when I play PL.
I will gladly spend my plats on priority server connection, maybe? Got more lags now in AL too.
Exclusivity could have come in the forms of contests.

I'm still very annoyed that the UI of in-game plats spending gets no confirmation button. And that those pesky little button to whittle away ur plats uselessly are in every nook and crook of the screen, making u buy things u dont want to buy by accident.
And how when in dungeon, people in your party that happen to be next to ur skills, will cause you view their avatar. It should have been disabled. Access the party avatar from the top left only. Why have both??? Bad UI.

Lol I'm only gonna up like one chest and no more, especially considering how much others have spent to get it. I would really do it more for the banner though.

how about the unbalance in pve? please this should have been number one priority.
as for the pet' i saw it as "super rare" so only spent 100plat,, not bad. just gotta think! check cs for a few hours if anybody is getting it..and play your cards from there.
PVE tho... PLEASE !!

Hey Sam, I guess I'm the only one here that is very pleased with this all. I've been asking for ages in both PL & AL that there be some really rare items, and it looks like you delivered.

I haven't gotten a chance to play much today, and earlier when I looked there weren't any Hammerjaws in the CS yet, but I'm sure when they do have them they will be like 5m+. So this gives me something to work towards long term. I gotta work really hard, do lots of farming, merching, etc. I need to save every bit of gold, and then one day I will have him for sure!

And to the person who said having Hammerjaw would just show you are lucky, I doubt that very much. Most players who are just lucky and get Hammerjaw will just sell him for the insane amounts of gold he will get. Those who actually put the pets in their stable will mostly be those who purchased him.

This reminds me of the dragon sets in PL. I got my first dragon set last summer. It cost me 26m gold. It took 3 months of playing 2-3 hours per day (and more on weekends) to save up that gold, but then I was able to get one. It's the only time in PL I ever felt a sense of true achievement, like i had accomplished something that wasn't easy but was very difficult.

I just hope I will get more chances like that in the future. It seems like the vast majority of players want to have the super rare items within a few hours after they are released, or else they rage and complain that it's too rare. I just hope STS won't give in this time.

I think the Hammerjaw is sort of like a statement reply to "Buying your way to the leaderboards" concept. No matter how much money you got, it doesn't matter. A brilliant masterstroke. +1

Yes, it's a way for them to make plat without letting players buy their way to the leaderboards. It totally reminds me of the dragon sets in PL (how they were last summer before they increased the drop rates). It didn't matter how much plat you had, it wasn't going to help you get a dragon set. For that you had to be either super lucky (like winning the lottery) or you had to work really hard, save up the gold, and buy it.

I hope STS do not bow down to pressure like they did on Dark Legends. LOL.

**I'm Siri** · 02-01-2013, 10:53 AM

The chances to get an in game pets = a chances to strike a LOTTERY!!!!! SERIOUS?!?! STS!!! U guys really serious?!?!
So I can predict your next new game must be casino related.
Now all the plat spender like us not gonna try anymore.
Let wait and see what the chance will be.

**Cero** · 02-01-2013, 11:03 AM

this reminds me of my dark day on Dark Legends. Wasted all my plat(200+) for a 5plat item. And a friend ingame that quit and went back to PL.

sometimes its nice not to have plat

Didn't you opened 60 crates, as you mention from another topic like this? So you DID spend plat trying to get the Hammer!!!

**kilian27** · 02-02-2013, 04:31 AM

Last time i have got chance is when i have obtain my clever flamestrike rod of assault. Now i havent got any luck i will wait to re have my before luck for open crates and try to get it!

Exactly my point. From what I read, you don't plan to spend your plats on getting Hammerjaw. You are hoping for someone to get that Hammerjaw egg and then buy it with gold.
My point is as a plat user, I feel disappointed; on my free account, I'm most happy with whatever AL direction is heading now.
As a matter of fact, I cant complain at all at the freebies given on free account and non-plats spending items available currently in AL.
In fact, I wonder why am I so dumb to buy plats!? I can get free elixir from Klaas and Shazbot. I can get free pets even. In fact, farming gets you millions in a short amount of time, plats only gets you lottery chance to open boxes that are worth very little.

Wow roll out the waaaaaambulance. Its stupid rare. Get over it. U just want the achievement point. Deal with it rich boy. I actually like how rare it is. Means less pl will have so more status not caring about stats. And god only knows how strong its attacks get as it lvls. Ya malison is a better pet starting out but god knows how much dmg this thing does as it lvls and learns attacks lol. For all we know it will have a lvl 20 jaws attack that does insane dmg

It's nice to have plat to buy things like vanity items and I did purchase a few pets that were plat exclusive. But I'm not big on the idea of playing the lottery. I did it in PL with Mitas because it was the only way to get him. But with Hammerjaw I can get him by buying him, so no need. Also, he's not even 100% necessary as there will be Arcane drops in the future that will give that achievement.
