didn't?

Let's face it and admit it that some of the language the admin used in the updated post were unclear. Did everyone really think that OOO was really going to take away their UVs as well besides replacing them? After all, it didn't really affect those that already owned one of the antigua lines after the update on them right? Yeah, it's not a new weapon line like the Crystal bombs, etc, but still the mentality was still there, and so was acting on that info, and the RSS still exists. I just thought that was unthinkable, even in the face of getting new UV tickets. I thought they were just giving them each one uv ticket for the bombs they owned for losing out on RSS. On the first page, one guy mentioned rage craft, but others like me didn't know whether there was only 1 UV ticket awarded per level of bomb you had.

Who in here was here before the patch update, but wasn't sure whether they should've used all their ce to craft? After all, it only increased like 250kcr more than the natural rate, it wasn't like being shot up to hell or anything. Anyone in this game also couldn't get information on whether the tickets were unlimited? I mean not all of us were free obligations and had purchases to make prior to the update with our CE am I right?

In the end, though, I must admit the bombers got screwed off more than anyone else just because of greed rather than the game content itself and keeping everyone, customers, etc happy.

The mail was an exercise in bad communication.

It contained two huge ambiguities:

1) What does "owned" mean? Bound or in inventory?
2) When you say "each bomb" and then list bomb types, do you mean every single copy of those bombs, or only one ticket per type?

Well, we know what was meant now, but it was far from clear then.

"2) When you say "each bomb"

"2) When you say "each bomb" and then list bomb types, do you mean every single copy of those bombs, or only one ticket per type?" Because its what logic says. Any other option, would be completly insane and unlogical from OOO side. None sane game developer would allow such a big exploit to happen.

Yet OOO did it.

I especially agree with the

I especially agree with the 2nd part. I was hoping I wasn't the only one here who didn't look confused about the update message. Everyone one, especially those that support other certain vets, seem to act as though they knew what to do(but of course they have everything they need except more ce to waste) and that OOO would give out tickets. They want to make it that cutthroat, and think it'll ruin their competition, but I don't get it, you can't compete if the richest vets with close connections to game masters predictably stay at the top like that. Why try to make excuses and say everyone should be competitive, when people will ennd up with different weapons and gears and different UVs on them anyway. Having everyone get to farm UV tickets is not going destroy that, it just makes you look greedy and lose respect even if you do have the best gear. I think withholding the key answer to the 2nd statement makes them look all scientific and intelligent, and they think they earn respect that way, cause they think they can outsmart the other.

Rawr-cake believed that OOO wouldn't allow guys to get a lot of tickets from ragecrafting, now he's changed his tune, and I believe people started doing it anyway at the last 10 min of the game. What is up with this misinformation man? This was so indirect unlike the haze bomb update which I regrettably did not look up during the time and that was like a year ago. No way, do I see myself devoting all my time to one game for a year again. I'd advise any sane person to do so as well, only if you're out of college though, so you have to understand this from my standpoint. I don't live in a world where everyone knows spiral knights...I hope you get the entire picture. I'll be left unsatisfied with all this corruption.

UVs....

Are pretty much useless to me.....As a bomber the Mad Bomber outfit gives me all the perks i need....in the damage/ctr department. Unless i had a uv for every monster type its still useless cuz each bomb only does one thing. So I was never gonna pay 20k for a ticket to begin with. Armor wise.....maybe, making money is hard enuff as it is dont wanna waste it trying to get fire resistance increased low......

Rage Crafters Anonymous

As a former rage crafter, I must say, that rage crafting can also be an addiction. It's like playing the slot machines. (Ever wonder why the crafting machines look suspiciously like slot machines?).

I don't know if my resolve will be there when I get back into game to not get as addicted to rage crafting as I was in the old days.

The element of rage crafting was likely built into the game mechanics to hook people like me into throwing more money into the game to be able to have more chances to get lucky because we enjoy gambling in game. Treasure boxes take advantage of the luck addiction because most people enjoy getting lucky.

If you just don't get why some people get excited over rage crafting or why OOO would feed this addiction, take into account all the money Las Vegas pulls in.

Why does anyone find it necessary to vilify the wealthier veteran player base because they have better business savvy to support their addictions? If you can't keep up with their game play, develop your own gaming skills, business savvy and networking. The rage crafters are willing to gamble and have fun doing so.

Yeah I have an addiction to going to the refrigerator. Must be because fridges look like Poker Machines.
Hey while we're at it, my pantry cupboard does too.
And my computer, that's a box shape. It must be a poker machine.
These gambling people sure have their stuff down. Everything shaped like a box reminds me of poker machines.

"not all of us were free obligations "

Excuse me sir, but I am a "free obligation" and I am offended.
