Ace of Clubs: 0/1 turned in (you have 4)
Ace of Diamonds: 0/1 turned in (you have 7)
Ace of Hearts: 0/1 turned in (you have 7)
Ace of Spades: 0/1 turned in

How can I have 0 spades? Why do you guys make diffrent drop rates to equal items :|. Or if you say it's the same droprate, well chanses of getting 0 Ace of Spades out of 18 drops
-> 0,75^18 = 0.563771%

I had 18/16/12 when i got my last one, it's supposed to be hard and it does a random roll on each ace. One friend of me got all four after 2/3/1. It's just your luck.

Nope it isn't luck when chanses are >1%. I'm sure they've set different drop rates for equal items and I want to know why.

Well, it's supposed to be hard. The hardest quest I can think of is Loan Collection XD

you know, that quest in fact isnt hard at all. The money is supposed to drop on a 25% basis. If you dont get any on your 10th kill on the furious gamblers, your quest is bugged.

Send in a support ticket, and allow reset.

This happened to me as well, when i had Loan Collection and Blackhearts Money accepted at the same time. Then the money dont drop at all. Its not supposed to be that way.


But, to the topic. I got 6 diamonds, 7 clubs and 9 hearts before i got my first spade.

I did reset it, and it still dont drop XD Only accepted loan collection:P

How mad would you be if I said all four aces dropped for me in probably less than 20 minutes?

StuntWiz

I wouldn't be mad:P I would just say you prove my point XD It depends on your luck XD

Alright, try not to go off-topic ;)

And ehm well don't really care how long it took you GoblenJ, it's taking me to long and I want to know if the drop rates are really 25% for each if the aces.

Somone just confirm this, who actually know instead of I think :p

[12:31:50] <&PaasHaaS> Ace of Clubs: 0/1 turned in (you have 7)
[12:31:50] <&PaasHaaS> Ace of Diamonds: 0/1 turned in (you have 17)
[12:31:50] <&PaasHaaS> Ace of Hearts: 0/1 turned in (you have 12)
[12:31:50] <&PaasHaaS> Ace of Spades: 0/1 turned in (you have 1)

Checked my irc logs, and this is how long it took me..so you're pretty lucky if it doesnt takes much longer.

Just keep hitting them, it'll drop eventually.

Its doubtful that they would make the aces have a 25% drop rate. Remember its not supposed to be easy its the "mini-epic" quest. And what do you mean by "it's taking me to long" a couple days? weeks? months?

Well I've started the quest since december, so killing all the criminal masterminds etc. I only play 10-20 min a day and not even every day so you do the maths. I'm now killing for the Aces since saturday I think, and play like 1 hour every day since then.

My spades was my first card drop when I did it.

StuntWiz

Yeah, it's random what cards you get. Some get clubs first, others get hearts, spades or diamonds.
