The Commandos Elite

Tao, I'm not so sure about the loot ratio of locked crates but I'm guessing the percentage is roughly like this:

80% epic
15% legendary
3% mythic
2% arcane

The percentage ratio of legendaries may also vary since its possible that they use a different table for epics and legendaries because of the sheer number of them.

ex: you opened a locked crate and you did get a legendary, therefore the legendary also processes a roll to see what type you got.

80% legendary commons (this again!?)
10% legendary rares (hmm, i can sell this...)
5% legendary epics (not bad at all!)
5% legendary legendaries (Finally I got it! YESSS!)

But as I mentioned this is just an estimate and not the actual percentage of the tables. This is just to provide an overview of how things may be computed when it comes to loot. It's also roughly the same for reroll elixirs, boss loot drops, mob drops...etc

There are more computations to keep in mind, ex: your characters level, class, location, etc... but diving into that would make this a really complex and hard to understand estimate, so i'll just stick with the crate loot table.

Once a day can work for the following reasons; you could be lucky, it extends your plat usage; you don't feel so bad if you get bad loot rolls, there's always tomorrow.

unless there's a new glitch i don't know about yet, i think that the method for loot when opening chests applies.

(ps. keep this between us, Tao, but Leila didn't need the smelly helm because Katzie was beside her, he smells smellier than the helm. Sometimes, I think that he's the guy behind the smelly plate and helm. Remember, keep it hush-hush.)

Officers: FYI incident reports on the guild site has been updated. Please check for information.

We will be starting a Bi-Weekly Raffle. This first draw is worth 10k gold to get things started. There will be no participation fee required to join this first draw.
The next draw will have a participation fee of 500 gold per contestant. This is open to all guild members of The Commandos Elite (Officers and Recruiters are included).

How do we join?
Only the first draw being held will be free. All succeeding draws will require a participation fee of 500 gold which will be deposited into our guild bank. (Commanderbank)

Simply post your number and name consecutively on this thread (Official Guild Thread in the STS forums.). We will use the random number generator that can be found here to determine the winner.

Oh yeah and as what Wowsome/Coredump said: "No Duplicates." :P only 1 entry per member!
And do post your names and numbers sequentially, it makes things easier. :D Thanks Core!

example:

Entries:

1) Athenum
2) Katzie
3) Xzandria
4) Taozusaf
5) Parisstilton
7) Skydagger
8) Shilha
9) Queenleila

We then use the service from random.org, input the number of contestants as so; and click generate.
Attachment 30007
And we have number 4, Taozusaf as the winner!

*Succeeding prizes will be equivalent to the number of paid participants. Winner takes the entire pool of money generated from the raffle.
First Draw is on Monday, May 13, GMT+8

*contest rules may evolve upon officer discussion.

Shouldn't there be restrictions (no duplicates, upper bound, etc.) on the number we select? Alternatively, to make it simpler, we can just post our names and numbers get assigned sequentially.

I'm confused by the day and date.

My bad! I made a mistake, I meant May 13. LOL. I was really off on that one! i'm really getting too old for this. hehehe I am so not myself today.

I fixed it up on top. I did mean that we post just our names and number sequentially. But since you did bring it up, I'll add the corrections that you provided so its clearer. Thanks!

I'll go first so that number "1" will be taken care of. If I win, I'll just donate the funds into the guild bank.

1) Athenum

[EDIT] I want to change too.

6) Coredump

5) Skydagger

btw ath. just hold on for the logo. TBH never started it yet due to work :(

Look at the squares around the Black Lines. Their colors look different from the other squares, right? Ahh… that’s just an illusion. All of them are just the same colors.

LOL, poor Ath!! (like the image tho hahahaha....)
Suggestion for the next round: use THREADNUMBER, just like Insider's Weekly Raffle.
Say there's 27 entries #98~#124. Random number generator can set starting num as 98 & ending num 124.
If there's any non-entry threads in between, just ignore them if the num is rolled.
Problem solved. :)

Thanks Tao, I was worried about the posts in-between. Hence re-rolling again wouldn't make it random. It it might end up like something more of a fixed game, but if it's okay with everyone, sure, we can do that.

Also I wanted to ask everyone how they feel about the top 50 guilds? I don't expect us to be in that list because the guilds listed have been around longer, have more numbers and have already established themselves in the game. However, if we really do want it. It simply means we have to work harder and really get things rolling for everyone. Do let me know what everyone thinks about this.

Personally, I'm not so much of a on-the-achievement-board player. Then again, if there's a REWARD, I may think otherwise. :D

Im on 10200 AP right now without buying plats. Im gonna do my best to make it more higher. :) The plat users in our guild can be more contributed rather than mine. Hope all of us do our best too, so even we are just from ground zero we still can achieve with the helps of our friends. REMEMBER the 3 RINGS this will be the most important on this path :)

Attachment 30492

It's official. Xzandria wins!
Next lottery results at June 3!

Once again, I don't expect us to be in the top 50 list of guilds because the guilds listed have been around longer, have more numbers and have already established themselves in the game. However, if we really do want it, it simply means we have to work harder and really get things rolling for everyone.

Thanks to everyone's efforts our guild bank now has a total amount of:

Attachment 30535

Lacking some gold for that new Armor set you wanted? Is that weapon barely out of reach? I think our guild bank can help!

We would like everyone to know that paid officers can now loan up to 100k gold from the guild bank. Payment terms are easy, you simply can pay it back one month from the date you loaned the amount. Interest is a mere 5% of the total loan. Taozusaf, Katzie, Xzandria and I can handle the paperwork. All you need to do is ask, let us know how much you'd like to loan and the guild ATM machine should be able to assist you. :) Payments can be staggered: daily, weekly or in one big lump sum.

Of course as the guild funds grow, so will the amount that paid officers can borrow. So yes, do keep supporting the guild bank. We want the gold you put into it to start working for you!

I've been thinking about what you said. Incentives can really help. But the incentive has to be good enough to make the person/player want to work harder. I don't believe a high level player would really want to boost his/her stats for 10 or 20, thousand. They can get that by selling a gold warchest or locked crate.

To make things interesting, we either give a 100k or an item with equivalent or greater value. I'll go with just the officer count for this example. Let's say we have 20 people who achieve 10200 or greater ap. That's 2m that we give away to reward them. Even if I add my current savings with that of the guild bank, we'll still come up short by 1m. At this early stage in our guild, we simply don't have the resources for something that big. Especially since getting into the boards is a group effort all of us contribute therefore all of us should be rewarded.

If you can help me think of a good incentive that is achievable, please do let me know. I agree with incentives for achievers but for now, I am at a loss.

I totally agree with you Sky. The three rings do represent what all of us stand for.

If I remember correctly, the top 50 guilds do represent achievements by each member above level 15. These guilds have a lot more manpower than we do. To at least have a chance to get into the top 50 on the next update we do have to invite more people. Do you think it would be a prudent move for us to lower the recruitment level down to 15? That would certainly make recruitment easier but in exchange it would mean more of our high level members would spend less time farming elites and more time helping new members level. Keeping things as is and changing our recruitment standards both have pros and cons. Do let me know what you think about this.

oppps, by REWARD, i meant from STS, not from guild :) no pressure there Ath! :D

If we are heading towards top 50, need strategy. There's 13 criteria to that, and we may need to see what we are capable of achieving.

(1) FIRST criterial of "total achievement pts" alone, let's take avg 9000/player (total 11900), number of member/guild of lv15 above stretches from
- 160-200 members for Rank #40-#50
- 200-300 members for Rank #20-#40
- 300-630 members for Rank #5-#20
- the rest are 708, 933, 967, 1265 respectively #4, #3, #2, #1.
(all approx. values)

Then again...
OverallRank#1 has approx. 300 members above lv15.
OverallRank#28 has approx. 1265 members above lv15.

Therefore, hold on with lv15 invites. The next round will be during next cap (i suppose), so will take roughly lv17-lv20 & above into calculation. Taking in lv20 above is okay, imo.

... as for the rest, need time to analyse. LOL

I'm gonna make another googledoc and fill in our member's info based on these criteria, if everyone is okay with exposing it. LOL
Then we can know what we have to work on, and what we can work on.

Sorry for delays on our guild logo just so busy at the moment :/ that's why im not active too much in game.

At least I would not mind using my time in this as even I can solo all the maps at least up Skull Cove (haven't tried the Nordr areas yet) so it would not in fact take too much time for a high-level guilder or two to run a couple of maps with lower level characters.

Alright, now for some good news!

We've been planning a lot for an Elite team of Plat using Elite Hunting players whose pots will be funded by the guild. They will be hunting for the best weapons available that are below the Mythic category. This team will of course get first picks on whatever loot they farm. Should they complete the sets or the weapons that they need, they pass it down to officers, then recruiters, finally to members. This way, we can all share and equip everyone in the guild with good-great items.

We've started with this today. The team is Led by Katzie. We have allocated the amount of 30k a day to furnish his team with the pots that they need for this difficult task. I myself will be farming to help support the high gold output for this team. Anyone else who wants to help please do so.

Another note, Tao and Sky are working on how to boost our stats to increase or standing in the guilds. Tao has created a very detailed spreadsheet with our information to check who needs more achievements. The guild can then help that player catch up with the rest. This is what we are supposed to be, a close-knit band of friends helping each other.

I know that things have been quiet event-wise but everything since ground zero has been done behind the scenes so that we could have a better.., the best guild for all of us in it.

Thanks!

Oh and by the way, for the raffle!
