Ah, math is cool. Working out the stats and checking against everyone else's calculations was way more fun than actually playing.

Maths FTW!

Ultra Peepi · Jun 30, 2006, 04:23 PM // 16:23

so if we cant get the title during the event, AFTER the event we will have a cheap uncomplete title bar that will never be filled up?

taffette · Jun 30, 2006, 04:29 PM // 16:29

Mine seem to be fairly even so far but I've been wandering around the rings until I realised I couldn't be bothered to

Now sitting pretty in the middle one so we'll see what happens...

=HT=E5Destroyer · Jun 30, 2006, 04:37 PM // 16:37

so is corner best on 9 x 9 for both titles for fastest way??

Almas · Jun 30, 2006, 04:38 PM // 16:38

Reiterating some calculations:

If you stand in a corner, you will get 55 credits (+45) 1/9th of the time, 15 credits (+5) 2/9ths of the time, and -10 credits (-10) 6/9ths of the time.
This means, that on average, every 9 games, you will gain 55 credits and lose 60 credits - losing 5 credits every 9 games.
You will have WON on 3/9 of all games, and LOST on 6/9 of all games.

If you stand on one of the non-corner sides, you will get 40 (+30) credits 1/9the of the time, 15 credits (+5) 3/9ths of the time, and -10 credits (-10) 5/9ths of the time.
On average, every 9 games, you will gain 45 credits and lose 50 credits - losing 5 credits every 9 games.
You will have WON on 4/9 of all games, and LOST on 5/9 of all games.

If you stand in the middle, you will get 25 (+15) credits 1/9th of the time, 15 credits (+5) 4/9ths of the time and -10 credits (-10) 4/9ths of the time.
On average, every 9 games, you will gain 35 credits and lose 40 credits - losing 5 credits every 9 games.
You will have WON on 5/9 of all games, and LOST on 4/9 of all games.

Whichever way you play, you will lose 5 credits every 9 games ON AVERAGE. However, if you stand in the corner, you will lose more often. The Lucky title is based on how many credits you win, while the Unlucky title is based on how many times you lose.
Thus, regardless of where you stand, you will get the lucky title at the same rate, but by standing in the corner, you increase the rate at which your unlucky title accumulates without impacting on the amount of money you are spending.

Can anyone answer my question? read up 6 posts. ^

Kaguya · Jun 30, 2006, 04:43 PM // 16:43

Sitting in the corner seems to do it for me, really. I started at 500 tickets, and currently am at 720 tickets, my peak being at ~1100 tickets. 31024 tickets won and 2178 losses at the time of writing this.

There are some nice random win streaks to my Lucky Ring(tm)

Lorir · Jun 30, 2006, 04:43 PM // 16:43

My guess would be that yes, it will stay at the lvl it was. Although you can probably get more next events.

My second guess would be that if you dont get it maxed, all your progress on it goes away, and you dont have a bar on your hero page that you cant fill.

Ecksor · Jun 30, 2006, 04:50 PM // 16:50

just to let you guys know there are 5 tiers to each title, according to www.guildwars.nctaiwan.com/serviceCenter/faq.asp

Ultra Peepi · Jun 30, 2006, 04:51 PM // 16:51

that link could not be found

Sir Mad · Jun 30, 2006, 04:53 PM // 16:53

< started with 3 stacks, got 4 stacks one hour later: I'm guess I'm pretty lucky XD

Sorry, that's my personal maths... I guess I have a good karma

EDIT - About the link above, all I see is:

Anyone speaks martian here?

taffette · Jun 30, 2006, 05:06 PM // 17:06

Found the link but don't speak Taiwanese. Any translators?

ultimastrike · Jun 30, 2006, 05:06 PM // 17:06

We need someone with the correct language to read this, quick! People could be wasting money on something it would still cost millions to obtain!

Carth` · Jun 30, 2006, 05:16 PM // 17:16

When I saw the charmed/hapless titles my heart sank.

People gave loads of good suggestions for new titles (when Gaile asked), and what do we get? A title that you get for paying a lot of money and then going afk for three days. And only during a certain event.

The sad thing is I know there will be thousands of people eagerly wanting it, but I don't know what ANet's aim was. I thought they wanted people to play the game together and have fun, but it seems like they prefer people to leave GW running but not playing it. Nobody would want to play those games while sitting there, they are designed for afkers.

MSecorsky · Jun 30, 2006, 05:18 PM // 17:18

Why disappointed? It's a comedic addition only, for fun. Do it or not... disappointment hardly seems appropriate.

Besides, if the afkers are here, Aspenwood should be much improved!

Check the other thread:

Very, very bad news.

Zinger314 · Jun 30, 2006, 05:20 PM // 17:20

See the other topic. Yes, there are multiple tiers. Yes, it's dissappointing.

I went into the corner of the Nine Rings with 750 tickets. An hour later, I came back with 210. I'm truly unlucky.

All this means is that we will be able to gamble in future events, possibly even in game in future additions.

ultimastrike · Jun 30, 2006, 05:27 PM // 17:27

Actually what it means is that this title is as expensive as any other 3 million gold title.

Solar Light · Jun 30, 2006, 05:28 PM // 17:28

5k tickets away from being able to conferm the tiers
