Gold Coin Drop Rate

[Avonwey]

I find it hilarious that people are complaining about something the devs weren't obligated to do.

Just like I'm not obligated to pay for my subscription?

Wow, that is a lot of playing!

I might be 30% of that, and I play every night

Just for fun took my lumps of coal and went into a low level quest and only used them. With the copper and silver coins that I received from the chests, I was able to restock my coal. Seems I am destined to have a supply of coal on hand.

Only got 1 Gold Coin since Festivus started and I've been hitting chests like crazy - 250 Copper and 1 Gold seems a little unproportionate.. I know I've been good this year!

That's not how it works.

It doesn't ever "work itself out". You have the exact same chance each time as you did before, regardless of the results. The illusion of it being a 5% chance (meaning: out of 100 rolls I should get at least 5 hits) is a farce. Especially knowing DDO's dice the way they usually roll, its likely that some people will NEVER see a gold coin, even after 500 chest pulls.

So don't go misrepresenting the perceived chances. Also, don't go jumping on someone's case making a promise that they may never see.

Hey now, get off that big old I'm so awesome ladder of your's Mr. know it all... Your's isn't the end all of everything, even if YOU think it is

Yes, evenetually it may indeed work itself out.. But as I said perhaps not..... But don't ever thing YOU can police anybody... This isn't your house this is our house run by the folks at Turbine..... So take your badge and shove it where.... Well you know where

I just want to post my "good feelings" about the gold coins. I've pulled 3 gold coins since festivus began. Trading them in have netted me 3 Fire Shield (fire version) jelly cakes. I used one last night in the Ice room of POP and found it to be extremely useful. (Especially since I was running it on elite with mostly lvl 11's and 12's). The fire shield effect looked very cool and made it that much easier to take down the flenser and mephits. IMO festivus is an added bonus, one that I am very much enjoying. Gold coins are rare and I like it that way. Thanks for putting me in the holiday mood. Happy holidays to all at Turbine!!!
