Event 5 - Triumphs and Tribulations

[Thunder Child]

This might be a viable strategy. Reading the CC forums, stumbled across a thread on collecting M41As (or whatever they were called) and a guy built up an arsenal by limiting his attacks to three hits per session, possibly causing an algorithm to reset or something... Honestly, can't vouch for the veracity of his strategy, seemed to work for him though. Same principle applied here? I've thought about it.

Not entirely sure what you mean, Johnny... can you explain a little?

Shoot, I wish I could without muddying the waters further.

Fair warning, I'm probably not explaining this well...but here goes again.

I followed a rabbit hole in the Crime City forums, a guy posted a thread stating he was able to get an increased amount of a specific loot over time by not blowing all his energy at once on a target, but by instead stopping himself at three hits on a map and moving on and coming back later. It might be comparable to if some of us decided to only hit the advanced destroyer twice and leaving the game and coming back for two more hits later and experiencing a bigger payout in the end.

Anyway, it was theorized that an algorithm that limited drops was being sidestepped by this strategy. I was thinking that perhaps by limiting the opens, or as someone else theorized-mixing free and cash options, one could get a better drop rate for vaccines by sidestepping the algorithm as was done in the past.

@ JohnnyR

With you now! IMO this is the case more often than not with looting; single hits don't seem to drop as well as saving the energy for a multiple hit.

Love to hear if anyone has expereince of something similar happening with event buttons and/or timing. Not sure I'm going to experiment at this late stage in the event, though!

[JohnnyR]

Yeah, it's weird, there was another event thread in the CC forums detailing a strategy kind of like what you're talking about now. If ya have some down time or are getting tired of MW, I'd recommend checking out the brethren north of us for some fun reading. Those guys are remarkably honed in their strategies.

OT now, but I've been playing around with limiting hits and trying to lower casualty loss by not taking out every worthwhile building in a raid run. It seems the more I pound a guy, the more lumps I take myself, so I split early now. It's really hard, but it feels like I'm escaping the loss of a SH every time I make it out, lol.

Im serious. Events are a huge waste of gold. I just spend gold because I want the bonus that bad. I would really never recommend it though.

I buy crates and weekly limited editions as well.
