I somewhat enjoyed when War Robots did the snowflake things for Christmas as I got some ok things from the event, but this Lunar New Year thing sucks. It is obvious that it is not a random process for what you get. I have seen the bar move at different speeds depending on what it looks like it will land on. So far the best reward I have got was 15 gold. Not one robot and half the time I get 1 gold. I even saved up and did the 100 coin spin and got nothing but 250,000 silver. What a waste of time. I get that they can't give out great stuff or no one would pay money to buy gold and what not, but there has to be better options than the crap I am getting.

It's not that getting free stuff sucks. It is that they hold it out to be a random luck of the draw type of thing when you can clearly see they are using some sort of algorithm that stops people from getting anything good.

This position is not supported by either facts or the experiences of others. It's a bit like blaming the government that your scratch-off lottery ticket wasn't a winner.

I trust the developers have the event randomized and the odds of winning something of game value are probably even better than state lotteries. I have held out for the silver chest. Results below. I don't think it is unfair, just a low chance lottery for free stuff. I wish it were better, but I will take it.
My gripe is that it all favors heavy damage squad mates who win because of equipment levels, not skill. I am typically squadded with opponents and mates that are 2-3 levels in bots and weapons above me. I rarely win more than 2 coins although I do regularly get "some" gold because I mind the beacons.
Silver Chest (100 coins ea spin) - 7 spins (1 or 2 spins might have been bronze chest)
Silver 930,000 Gold 50 Tulumbas 1

If you converted your chances of recieving certain items all into a pie chart of sorts, I'm certain anything good is literally a tiny, barely noticeable sliver in there while the rest is garbage. Especially the silver chest has dissapointed me because it's the only one I go for. I don't touch bronze. But the only good thing I got from there was 40 Au,the rest was all silver.

I used my free 100 coins and accidentally opened a silver chest. I thought it was 10 pulls of the 10 chest. I got 500K ag. I would rather have 10 - 1 au.

Meh, to each their own. But feel free to spend your coins in whatever foolish fashion suits your tastes.

This is the rant section, the OP can rant is the free stuff sucks, is useless, etc. Some need to take a more balanced approach also.

well at least all these events taught us not to ever play slot machines (as they are all rigged).

Christmas event was fun but sucky prizes, and I certainly agree that there is nothing random about the prize draw, clearly rigged as can be seen either stopping abruptly or continuing until past a worthy prize. I have fiber-optic connection so it ain't lag or system glitch. The Chinese event is a total scam. Why, because you get better prizes by opening a chest every time you get 10 tokens. I tried the 100 token chest and WOW, the suckiest prizes I have ever got, 100k silver. Totally discussed.

Christmas event was fun but sucky prizes I thought the snowflake prizes were awesome, not even including the 100 gold prize and aphid prize I won. Every couple of battles I'd have a new chest, and the prize was always something like 15-20 gold or 100K+ silver. Apparently going into batles between opening boxes was an exploit, although I never would thought of opening them a different way since it always took at least 2 battles to win a box in the first place. Now Pixonic has "fixed" their event so that it's much less lucrative... their prerogative, but between the increasing frequency of events and decreasing payouts they're becoming less exciting on the whole.

I've won decently but given that I spent some money for some coins. It's just better to spend the money on Au if you are going to spend.
From the 1000 chest, just a Gekko so I didn't do that one again. From the superchest, got 2500 Au twice From the 100 chest, gotten a Gareth, Ancile, Aphid, Fury, Trident and almost 10k in Au and maybe 10 million Ag.
