My DDO Lottory

[Asketes]

No I assumed the "(PERMA)" in your sig meant that you are perma-death and as a result is a player who only uses items picked up in quest.

I'll go to my corner now and finish chewing my shoe leather.

hahahah i love how you ended that..


that's deserving of so much more than a mere +1


all but 2 of my toons start with perma..

i'm not a permadeather, just a permanoob

[jurzey]

Got my ham but not my 5 yarrs lotto.

Snikie, no tr, no reroll, no transfer. MyDDO is working.

Tolero;

Would it help the system if after a winning was claimed that the entry be completely erased in the system? Since there are not lottos that build off each other, would it benefit the system to essentially have a clean slate all the time, especially with same name lottos on the same day?

The underlying problem seems to have been that there was 4 lottos going on simultaneously with the same name.

[1halfelf]

I also have several characters that supposedly "won", but have no prizes. All characters are updating with the exception noted below. No one has ever reincarnated or transferred servers.

On Argonessen:


Pyrhia Firesoul

Shiallara Terrenfire

Tarnas Helmsplitter

Gruplex the Unruly
NOT updated since 11/30/2009
is a re-created character with the same name

On Ghallanda:

Martalis Smythe

Grimhart Mithralhand

Illiadriel Loresong


One interesting thing is that Gruplex is listed twice in the winner list --- maybe because he was re-created?

For all characters:

* number of times True Reincarnated:0
* number of times server transferred:0
* character originated on the Codemasters servers (yes or no): no

Characters who won the tasty ham lottery and received the ham ---
Argonessen

Pyrhia Firesoul
Shiallara Terrenfire
Tarnas Helmsplitter

Ghallanda

Martalus Smythe
Grimhart Mithralhand
Illiadriel Loresong


* number of times True Reincarnated:0
* number of times server transferred:0
* number of times renamed:0
* number of times deleted/rerolled:0
* character originated on the Codemasters servers (yes or no):no

Characters who won and did not receive the ham:

Argonessen:

* character name:Gruplex the Unruly
* number of times True Reincarnated:0
* number of times server transferred:0
* number of times renamed:0
* number of times deleted/rerolled:1
* character originated on the Codemasters servers (yes or no):no

None of these characters received the prize for winning the 5 yarrs lottery. I know that Gruplex has some issues... He appears twice in all the lottery lists and won't update at all.

Thanks for the help!

Last week I won the tasty ham lotto on my wizard, but then she won the 'Light up the Night' lotto - was that the Lesser Heart one? :/ Anyways, no reward for that one.

[Setin_Myways]

I have had several toons win the 5 yaaaars lotto and recieved nothing. Since that time, I have won a ton of ham on the same toon. Nomical is the only TR. They are all on thier original server. I had a few toons win the lock lottery and the wand of lighting lottery and did recieve those, but missed out on the best lottry reward to date after winning.

I sign up for the lottery every day. One thing I would like is the ability to remove the 'wins' from my list. Iti s quite extensive.

* Showing a character update status after 2-22-2011?yes -
* number of times True Reincarnated:1 - only Nomical
* number of times server transferred:0

[SaisMatters]

Thanks for all the Ham Turbine, but I really want my xp pots that I won on 12 toons and have yet to see them. Are we ever going to see the 5 yarrs prizes or is it a wash???

[Cordovan]

That particular Five Yarrrs lottery appears to have had some problems. Unfortunately the folks who won that particular lottery had their prizes dropped into a Bag of Holding, and we've had difficulty reaching those prizes. While trying to get to the items, we unfortunately dropped that Bag of Holding into another Bag of Holding, which means you will never be able to receive those prizes. Sorry!

I dont think we will ever actually see them. Thats what happened the last time the lottery didnt work. Hopefully they reboot the lottery and give away the prizes again.

hah glad I never enter the lottos.

Any knowledgable player knows you have the ability to award the prizes with a simple slash command on any character with admin privilages by dropping it at there feet to be picked up.

But yea that would be a lot of work to do it. Just say sorry instead. Sorry fixes everything! Yay!

and the resulting explosion killed all the hamsters that were powering the servers which has been causing all the Lag of late I bet. lol

I am sorry, but there is a fundamental problem with regards to the first sentence. "That particular Five Yarrrs", unfortunately, the problem was not one lotto, it was a series lotteries. These lottos included: Astral Diamonds, lesser reincartions, and greater experience elixirs.

If you are going to only offer an apology instead of an actual solution, at least try to be 100% honest with your customer base. Is there still any wonder why long term players of DDO do not exactly trust Turbine?

Sorry Sais, but you're misinformed here. The so called Lag is just a myth and never actually appeared in DDO. Everyone thinking to experience Lag while playing the game must be hallucinating - same applies to players that thought they won certain awesome items. Unfortunately that includes me as well.

I'll agree I'm usually hallucinating while playing the game! :0

So after 600 hams have been successfully delivered to me in the past 3 days, and 100s of hams to many others, here is your conclusion Turbine.
Your lotto works, you just refused to give out nice prizes.

So this leads me to another point. Has anyone ever gotten one of the really good lotteries before? The Astral Diamonds, or something that actually requires more than just a handful of TPs? Have a sad and funny feeling that the answer is going to come back no.

I' d have neg repped you for that!

nope.

I had won Astral Diamonds on 6 toons months ago, but they were never received. Put a ticket in about it, was thanked for the ticket, but never got my diamonds

[Lerl]

*shrugs* I have an alt that won and received astral diamonds. I don't have a use for them, but he got them.

[Phoenix-daBard]

And now my wife and I have been auto entered into two more Five Yarrs Lotteries and a Tasty Ham without any input from me. The Tasty Ham lotto has already drawn :roll:

The hams were delivered but I am skeptical of the Five Yarrs.
