Has ANet changed lucky/unlucky point rate? - Guild Wars Forums

joea64 · Jan 30, 2010, 10:12 PM // 22:12

I noticed today on my latest CoF run that something seems to have changed with the number of lucky (and possibly unlucky) points I get when opening a chest with a lockpick. It used to be 250 lucky points per pick retained, but unless I'm much mistaken, it seems to have gone up to 500. Then again, I'm not much at math so I may have miscalculated.

Has anyone else noticed this?

It hasn't been admitted by Anet (as far as I know) but this weekend is also a double Lucky/Unlucky weekend, as well as people reporting increased key drops.

I might just be that i got lucky, but i droped 3 picks today in about 2 hrs of killing.

I just went and checked and did indeed get 500 lucky points for a lockpick save, this would also explain the crazy # of lockpicks the raptors were giving me!!!

I posted this in the other thread:

I think I've got it! A-net automated the weekend events so that they wouldn't have to set them up manually every week. So I'm guessing that this weekend was set to be a double lucky/unluck/lockpick weekend, and when they worked in the Redux (manually), they didn't cancel the automatic programming (excepting the announcement). So we get a double bonus weekend! Sweet!

It may have been the orginal weekend event, before anet decided to do a wintersday redux...
