Brazil Ruby Level Loot Event: Expired

Share:

The Brazil Ruby Level Loot Event is over. It wasn't very much fun using all of my energy in Brazil but I couldn't resist and it was pretty exciting when one of the loot items dropped. I managed to collect 31 items and leveled more frequently than I normally do because of the great experience/energy ratios.
Many players were able to max out on this loot and equipment scores of over 200,000 are now more common.

  2. This was unfair that some of them could loot them like 1000 of each and are getting nothing.. Sometimes you spent 10k energy and none was dropping.. Well a weapon is not important in our hand if we don't have the right skill to use them..

  5. So glad this one is over... Not fun at all! I managed to get nearly 30 of each, but I spent over 2 million energy to get them (probably double that). It was all day - every day. At one point towards the end I even spent 10 RP to get an additional energy refill!

    That drop rate was horrible. Yes, the level ups were nice and when they dropped it was a cha-ching moment, but I'm a middle of the road player (equal stamina and energy) and it was too much of a chore to enjoy this. I can only imagine the frustration of players who couldn't get even one full set.

    While I understand Zynga is trying to make events for both energy and stamina players, they should focus on what made this game fun in the first place - events EVERYONE could enjoy because no matter what level you were you had a chance of completing the obejective. When one player can max out on the loot while others can't even get one of each, something is seriously wrong.

  6. Two cities done and not a single item! Even when I went back to the first city and unloaded full loads of energy there nothing! A completely worthless event.

  7. Completely unfair... some of them got more than they needed and for us it was nothing more than a failed event.. Zynga.. plz treat all the players equally...

  8. well, if somebody wanted to get 500 or each of these he leveled up at least 1000 times or most probably more...I am level around 3000 and have 182k attack, half-way during the event I attacked and defeated a level 12 000 player with 196k defense! (despite my attack skill being only roughly the same as my level, which means quite low)...obviously this player might have 210k defense by now, but still I can't shake the fact that I might still defeat him...loot isn't everything, having the lowest level possible with the greatest loot possible is the key...now imagine he will make another thousand or two of levels on the next loot event, I mean by the time he hits level 20 000 he might have the best loot currently available, but man, his character will be WEAK as hell and eveybody defeats him, up until now I always defeated every level 25 000 players I attacked no matter his defense loot scores, but i had helluva problem defeating level 1000 players with a not-so-good defense loot score...

  9. Socialism at its best. The rich got richer, and the poor, well, they got screwed. Again ! ZYNGA and its flawed concept of "balanced" play NERFED this one up again. I was only able to get 3 of the 7 items, after dropping thousands and thousands of energy into ruby mastered districts. I tried all the suggestions (only do jobs that require BRL$, do the highest energy job in the district, etc...) This event sucked for the "balanced" normal MW player.

  10. I'm a hybrid, so I can both ice others ass off and do a lot of jobs and I really enjoyed this. I might not have gotten more than 10 of each item but I was happily surprised to see how "equally" they dropped. Every item I got is active for me so WOHO! for getting those. I though of course wish I'd gotten more. But it's so fun one can beat the crap out of players with 210 000 mafia defense.

  11. big deal if they have 210k attack and defense weapons, they are energy players. I am sure I can stomp them in fighting. Loot scores come and go, but the most important part of this game is attack and defense skills. A/D skills are forever. With that said I wish I could have gotten one of each, but was not able to. I will enjoy kicking butt on the energy accounts with high mafia a/d scores.
