im not that crazy spender

The medal refunds were given based on you guys feedback on the patch that it was unfair to people who already had a lot of stars. Basically its a fractional refund of the number of medals you've gained, not the amount stars lost/gained.



This patch restructured the star system to make it easier for players of all levels to gain power. The memorial was a small add-in. You can take this for what its worth, but if you complain about every single thing that happens, your feedback loses meaning.

Dawn I would like to thank you and Tynon for listening to us and giving us this wonderful patch. Remember even a little goes a long way in making your customers happy

great patch.

Thank you Dawn for pressing the star issue forward to get this implemented.

I also notice that there is no consistency with star success %. You can get to 18 stars within 6 - 10 turns... while you may spend over 15 turns and not even able to go from 13 to 14.

Wouldn't it make more sense to make the % to be more accurate, and the % for 16 - 18 stars go to 5%, 3%, 2%, and 1%? This would make it much harder to achieve 1% yet allow others to achieve 13 - 14 stars in a more consistent manner.

Thank you again for addressing this issue which was long needed.

I also noticed that the stars stack to almost 100. This allows the crazy congestion on Saturdays to be addressed. Also it allows you to accumulate a lot of stars from CW and not force you to spend it all the same or next day.

Oh and thanks for all the extra trees at the bottom of the guild wars screen. I like trees.

50% does not mean that every other time it will work as an example. It is just a matter of luck. If you want proof, flip a coin several times an see if it comes up heads every other time.

Very true, but as it plays itself out it begins to become a bit ridiculous at 8 attempts we are already at 1/256 odds of failure. at 16 attempts 1/65,536 odds of failure. It just seems to appear that Tynon approaches the ridiculous more times than not.

You can graph a normal distribution with coin flips... highly doubt we can with tynon's probabilities (although this is just a guess because I can't get enough unbias data)

What do you mean by "more accurate"? It has always been labelled as CHANCE. If 50% meant that you and everyone ALWAYS get it after 2 tries, then the cost might as well just be double and you simply purchase it. In order for it to accurately simulate real life "randomness" a 10% chance means it could happen on first try or may take much more than 10 tries to get. You can't tell me that when you roll a 10-sided die 10 times, you get exactly one of each number.

I agree with this.

15 stars onwards is 10% chance, 6 purple medals per attempt, for the leader and gold heroes.

It should go lower than 10%, and the purple medals needed should increase.

The effects of an 18 star hero is tremendous.
