I do recall them saying that it is exceedingly rare.

It's like all the other drops - sometimes you are lucky, sometimes you aren't.

And it is real BTW, I've seen some at auction, and there are threads where people are offering them for sale.

There it is. The first rant and ragequit!
Should of just opend 2-3 and waited a day then tried again. These chests and this type of thing are just one of those things that you can get carried away with to get what you want. Each crate has the same chance, opening more crates doesn't increase the chance. if it happens it happens , pretty sure the crates work on a roll (or 3 rolls) with a loot table. unless you get the right roll its never coming out for you.

There is always a chance they decide to make an adjustment to the drop rate by adding more roll chances to the loot table, but on day 1 they are always really tight with drops, or they screw up and it comes all the time. Either way 3 tries a day is enough in my opinion.

PPl been using 100+ plats and still nothing. Maybe we should add STS to the scam list...

I also used all my plats and nothing, not even a Pink that could sell for anything.....

Last time i spent any RL Cash into this or any STS game for that matter!!

Going back to Sub based games again i my solution.

Locked crates are a gamble. For you to add sts to your "scam list" would only be because you didn't get what you wanted. I think that's why a lot of people are mad, because they don't realize that when sts says its exceedingly rare, they mean it. So it's not their fault for you having extremely high hopes to getting it in your 5th unlock or whatever you where expecting.

Wow, i feel your pain bud (well a third of it actually). For 50$ worth of plat, you should have gotten it. Yea it's a gamble pack, but this isn't vegas, the only reason these gambles exist is because STS found a loophole in the system by "rewarding" you with gear (whether it be decent useable gear [watch gear] or random crap.)

Frankly if i were you, i would email support (although they'll probly give you a robot response that they can't help you.) because 50 bucks isn't something to sneeze over.

you forgot the fact that i bought all the 60 Crates . well they are frauds for sure .

I wouldn't say they're frauds, it's in the crates, you just got miserably unlucky. Best thing I can suggest is take a minute to calm down, and shoot them an email.

KillaSkillz has the right idea here, no point opening all in one go. Just every few days open 1/3 and hope you get lucky. Mass buy seems to be a waste even if this worked previously for others with other chests.

ETA:

Chest opened = 0 (14 Plat ftw haha)

Release is usually the worst time to try, a few days and..

A. They messed up the rarity, and "tweak" it, "under the radar".

B. Have it super low first few days, and raise slightly after weekend, just so it keeps the hype running.

C. Arcane rarity, is really that rare!

Guess this game its turning into a casino :S

and the CASINO always WINS!!! Atleast they were able to find a use for those rotten crates last week, and pull this arcane pet right after we get the mystic pet. Smart MOVES!!!

Wait, who is making people buy and open all these crates? Well, I'm glad I missed that imperative. I've yet to spend all my plat and yet to buy a ton of crates. I'll stick to dropping them (free) and opening them when/if I want to, or just saving them.

Hi Kide2008,

Hammerjaw can be obtained from the Locked Grand Crate of the Watch. However, as others have mentioned, he is very rare. We went out of our way to convey that by placing him in a new, highest rarity category: Arcane. There are a few out there that have been found and the item is in game.

I'm sorry to hear you didn't find him in the Crates that you opened. Our hope is that the Crates also have some value by themselves for you. They guarantee that you obtain a Legendary and 2 Epics for your level. The Legendary Sword 'n Shield, Bow and Rifle are the best currently available in game for those items. The Armor sets have 2 unique looks as well. Hammerjaw is akin to rare trading card game cards, or rare Baseball cards. You might open 100 packs and never get one of those rares - and some lucky guy will get the ultra rare on their first pack. That is how random rolls.

I'm not sure that will help you feel better about your luck, but it is what it is.

The team does have plans to introduce additional Mythic and Arcane rarity items to the world (as random or boss drops) in the future. However, keep in mind that, like Hammerjaw, you should expect that those items will be exceedingly rare. You won't walk into town and see everyone with them - that would be common. True rarity means there are only very few to be found.

Thank you very much for your support of Arcane Legends. The team is hard at work creating more content that will be out this month, for free.

People don't get it. They won't. Unless you guys make threads in REALLY GIANT FONT

I'll say what STS doesn't want to say. THIS PET ISN'T FOR EVERYONE. IF YOU'RE NOT COMFORTABLE SPENDING A HEFTY CHUNK OF CHANGE!!! STAY AWAY!!! If you are going to try for it. Live with it. Or swallow your pride and email support and beg them to give it to you. Complaining to the forums does no good for anyone.

Seems a little like the dragon pet pack in pl where people spent a ton of plat to get mitas (the
golden dragon). Each pack cost hundreds of plat and some people had to buy the pack multiple
times (sometimes over ten) to get mitas. Obviously some unhappy people who spent hundreds
and in some cases thousands of plat to get mitas. To complicate issues further it appears that
some people got refunded their plat when they complained and others didn't.

Either way. Not happy with the current trend of requiring you to spend a lot of plat (for the last two
shark pets) to stay on the overall leaderboards.

thank you Sam! I can't wait for the droppable items. It's will inspire me to actually farm more and will alleviate some of the pain from hammerjaw.

Question: so if arcane is über rare.... What is mythic's definition?

BodMaster
02-01-2013, 03:33 PM
Yep I opened mine in 3goes at it.

Treat it like the lottery, just because you have say £100 you wouldn't go buying 100 tickets hoping you get more of a chance. You buy a few every week/few weeks and hope for the best.

From hearing of the one's with the egg so far, they bought/opened 2/3 chests and got it. Not heard anyone to open them at say 40/50 chests and get it yet. Not to say it's impossible, but seems to the wrong mindset needed for this kind of drop.

Looking at CS Arcane is above Mythic, so all you could guess is in between the "rarest" Pink drops and Arcane maybe?

Great to hear, possible drops from bosses, random chest get boring after a while :p

Legendary - From somewhat common to decently rare

Mythic - Somewhere between Legendary and Arcane's rarity

Arcane - über rare



Does that help?

What do you feel like you SHOULD spend plat on?? Assuming that you understand STS has to make money.

The drop rate is very rare as most of u wanted in the first place http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?83547-Mythic-items

sadly it comes in plat chests... but u should count only few lucky will get that pet. u tought if u spend real money u will get for sure.... didnt happen.. i would be pissed probably too but i dont spend plat on something i know i cant get 100% its waste of money. i gave my 2 chest to a frend..he didnt get it also feel sad for him. but u all gambled and didnt win.

I have spent a lot of plat on a lot of things in both this game and in pl, and think I have done my fair share in helping STS to make money. I personally do not feel as though it is worth it to potentially spend $50-$100 dollars or more to get a shark pet that I will probably never use. I am just dissapointed that you need to do this in order to stay on top of the leaderboards. I think achievements should be for true in game achievements and not just spending a ton of money. I felt the same way about the "true legend" title in pl. This is just my opinion. You certainly do not have to agree, but you should refrain from making sarcastic comments criticizing people for their opinion.

I'm currently on the leaderboard too Drgrimmy (I'm a few places below you on the top sorcerers list). But keep in mind that almost nobody on this list will get hammerjaw. It really is that rare. So i wouldn't worry too much about it. And in the next cap I'm sure we will see drops from bosses that are Arcane, so we will be able to get that achievement without plat. Or you can save up lots of gold and buy Hammerjaw. Either way, just like the way dragon sets were in PL (before they increased the drop rates), most players will never see a drop of an Arcane item no matter how much time they spend farming. Instead, they must save up huge amounts of gold and buy these items. I'm glad STS finally went in this direction. This arcane item achievement is one I will have to actually work for and will not have completed in a couple of days. It can actually be labeled as "difficult" which is more than I can say about 99% of the achievements so far.
