Destash Raffle

[Pariah]

[quote="mdsilage"] And I see most days i log in and it says XXX players are online, but I maybe see 2-5 actually at their keyboards playing. Alot of the older players just sit and do nothing. Trying to meet new players to adventure with seems kind of impossible.[/quote]

Message me in game. If I'm online, I'm at my keyboard and I'd be more than happy to give advice, adventure with you, etc. My issue is every staff move to make something awesome is immediately criticized. You mentioned you were excluded as a new player (not true). I was pointing out that as a new player, you have access to content I don't nor ever had (an actual exclusion). As +Nyx said, the items for the raffle should be easy to obtain if you work for a ticket. To be honest, I didn't have many of hardly any of those items and I've been here almost 2 years (just not a hoarder I guess). There are a few bad apples anywhere and I apologize if I came across rude early this morning. However, as has been pointed out, you do have to work for higher end things here. Don't get me wrong, I raise things when I have questions or suggestions, I just try to do it in a way that is respectful and with a solution rather than solely a complaint. In that case, I think you will find staff and players more receptive to your feedback. Thanks.

I can also attest there may be some issues with the tickets. I redeemed all my suhi trays and such and never got a ticket. Then I redeemed several other things that should have given a ticket. Didn't receive one ticket. I am fully patched as well.

[+Nyx]

You have only submitted 19 trays, which is not enough for a ticket. As stated in the original post and numerous times since then - boxes take multiple items, but each is on its own counter. You don't turn in X amount of any variety of the displayed items for a ticket. You turn in X amount of one specific item for a ticket. Further, every time you submit an item you receive a system message telling you how many more of that specific item you must submit in order to receive a ticket.

My bad. I thought I was counting correctly. Must have missed one. NM :(

I have decided to allow the grand prize to be given if there are at least 600 tickets at the end of the raffle. This means we are currently just about halfway to that goal, with about 2.5 weeks left to go before the drawing. Please also remember that nearly all items this raffle accepts are now using the partial ticketing system, so you only have to submit a few of each item in order to progress. The participation reward will also be more impressive if we reach the 600 ticket goal, so everyone go get rid of your junk!

Colored forge deeds have been added to the BOD raffle box. +1-+3 armors have been added to the Miscellaneous box for partial tickets as well.

Wanted to Thank you +Nyx on the excellent work put into this. And also to thank you for working on getting those dryad green pigments to go in the tokuno box. Hehe. :)


To the complaints- I wouldn't even consider myself mid player yet and I did not have a lot of stuff I was however able to get a ticket with what I did have, some work, and cash.

The tok box accepts 10 greater tokuno pigments. Sword of the stampede is around between 5-7 I believe. It's not impossible for newer players so hang in there guys.

Raffle updates:

- Melisande's Fermented Wine added to the Peerless box for partial tickets
- All peerless destash items accepted are now on the partial ticket with the exception of Dread's Revenge.

We are nearly to the 600 ticket goal - if we go OVER 600 tickets by the end, the participation prize as well as the grand prize will be improved to reflect the extra effort!

Bone Piles from grave digging are in the list, but none of the 3 chests accept them. Bone chests are accepted, but regular piles are not. I am wondering if I have the right items.

[Adrycks]

Bone piles are accepted in the chest with the fishing Stuff :))

Hi,

Thanks for all the hard work put into this. It's been fun de-cluttering stuff and finding a use for useless things :)

I have a quick question.

I see that the tickets carry over, but do partially completed submissions of items also carry over or will all the item counters reset at the end of this first period (28th May)?

Thanks :)

Hello +Nyx, will be there some list of players with their number of tickets?
And second question is what time it ends on 28th ?
Thanks for respond

The winner of our first Destash Raffle is EziekialMoss!

A video of the drawing: Drawing 5-28-14

We had 2 players who submitted over 200 tickets each (Zeke was not one of them) - they will receive a special 'most tickets' prize and their tickets over 75 will be wiped to keep the raffle more fair for the next round.

Prizes and participation bags will be sent out in the next day or so - my RL schedule is a bit busy, I had to squeeze in the drawing because I knew everyone would be anxious to know the winner and I wanted to get it done quickly.
