If one month in real life is 4 years in eRepublik, you wrote more than three centuries of history in the New World.
Thank you for being part of this journey!

To celebrate Day 2,500, we’ve introduced a few Bomb filled packs, purchasable with Gold.
- The packs can be bought only on Day 2,500
- A Citizen can purchase each pack 2 times
- War Surplus 50, 100 and 250 each contain some items which can only be received once
- A Citizen can get 3 different Decorations

 

 

 

 

Make sure to complete the “Day 2,500 Celebration” mission, which is also available only on Day 2,500!

big bombs and small bombs have time limit?

dmg booster will store or activate immediately ? 

[Colt Miller]

ofc it will store.

[KIPPERS OF THE MUD]

I have enough gold saved up to buy the 250 gold package, but none of the items seem very appealing to me. I don't have enough strength to fully utilize the bombs to get a ton of BHs, so they're useless to me. The only thing that's appealing to me is that decoration, since it's rare. But not worth 250 gold.

 

If there was only one decoration instead of 3, and if it was cheap, I'd spend gold to get it.

 

But I'm sure really strong players would love this sale, since they have get a ton of BHs, CHs, and even TFs.

'4th of July' decoration... xdxd

[Weekstrom]

Really? If I understood correctly the boosters from packs are activated immediately so I wouldn't be so sure.

 

Apart from that; Why isn't it accompanied with EB's on all celebration packs? The 200 ones and upping per pack; say 1-10-25-100-500. I'm sure that would attract way more players, be much more of a reward for the players and boost the economy as well. Now it's mainly extra money for plato...

 

The amount of bombs will surely have surprising impact on several battles though which might give some funny effects. If you're not the victim of course...

From D1 POV,

- Big bombs are too big (if it's still 5M damages)

- Small bombs quantities are useless (with 75k damages)

- same thing for Bazookas

- BH rewards is only 2G (seems unfair)

 

So no one in D1 will buy you this stuff,... but we're used to be ignored. ^^

Too big is a problem?
 

x75 Big Bombs (not to mention Small Bombs) is 75 x 2g = 150g... that's 60% of the gold spent you'd be making back.

The bombs have a time limit of 30 days. However, you can extend them as usual. If you receive new bombs, all of them will be extended with 30 days.

 

As for the Damage Boosters, they can be activated manually. So yeah, they get stored.

Unfair. To D1. Really?

So lets see for a moment. You pay 250G to get 75 BB's. What would that give you?

D1; Even when playing rather dumb almost certain at least 60 BH's totalling 120 Gold reward. Being a bit more smart you score 150 Gold reward. Payback rate of 48-60%.

D2; Played smart and when using your normal FF as well you should be able to score BH with most BB. Say 50-60 BH's totalling 150-180 Gold reward. Payback rate 60-72%.

D3; Damage is going up considerably and you won't be able to score BH with only one BB. Being lucky you need 2-3 so between 25 and 38 BH's giving you a reward of 100-152 gold. Payback rate 40-61%.

D4; You can make a difference with BB's but only when using larger quantities. You'll probably end up with 10-15 BH's which gives a reward of 50-75 gold. Payback rate 20-30%. If your lucky as D4 players will have the largest gold stock so a lot more packs will be bought and therefore BH damage will go up considerably. So you could even end up with 5 or less BH's.

 

So D1 players benefit a lot I'd say especially when comparing it to D4. Only downside would be most D1 players will not have saved the amount of gold needed or should spend it on TG. So it will mainly be used by the gold buyers in D1 while D2 will most likely profit the most. (or have to do the lowest net investment to be more precise).

 

As stated before; EB's should have been added. That would not only up the sales, reward players more, but also equal the "profit" more if my proposed amounts would have been implemented. But perhaps it can be added. After all the early buyers are known so it won't be that hard to correct that afterwards...

If your lucky as D4 players will have the largest gold stock so a lot more backs will be availabnle and therefore BH damage will go up considerably. So you could even end up with 5 or less BH's.

I've actually done some calculations myself. At full health and with 50% damage boosters I can do about 10 million damage with full health. If it takes 40 million damage to get a BH, and sometimes it does, although EXTREMELY rare, it will take me 20 small bombs or 6 big bombs to get a BH. That means I can make 125 gold or 50% of the gold back.

 

But again, I'm using very rare scenarios. 40 million for a BH is extremely rare.

 

I wouldn't make the purchase myself, but I can see why some people would want to. For 125 gold, you can get a lot  of BHs, and maybe even CHs.

[Ja nisam Bosko Buha]

Greed!

 

2500 days is rather significant milestone and only thing you offer is a scam to milk more cash from players and stupid mission with 25str reward.

 

Well done!

[Finway Divi Filius]

I don't know any D1 player with 250G.

 

What's the use to lose 100G while:

- you gain no STR

- you are useless on the battlefield

- ... well you gain nothing except medals... fascinating!!

 

> Waiting since ages to have enough money for next sales on TG+TC (=192G) ^^

[Pschemy]

If i buy 2 "packs" for 250g what will i get ? 40hp regen for 5 days OR 20hp regen for 10 days ?!?

 

Edit:

Ups i need glasses

Each pack can be purchased only 2 times. +20 Energy Recovery and Decorations will be awarded only at the first purchase!

Everybody are counting BHs and not taking into account that there are promotions like 10x BH (expensive medals, yes but worthy). Apart from that for a d1/d2 users these 75x5 bombs are quite something. Has anyone considered the profit from COs for these divisions with those bombs. If I were a d1/d2 user I would even dissolve training grounds to get the 250g pack. I believe it's worthy and whoever takes it from d1/d2 will make a good profit.

Good idea about the x10 reward events. As for the COs, you need at least 35 cc per 1 million damage to cover 50% of the gold spent on the package itself.

 

Big bombs have an expiry date, right? It's safe to say there won't be a x10 BH event won't happen in the next 30 days.

 

As for the small bombs, let's say you need 90 million damage to get a BH during the x10 BH event. That should cover your 250 gold spent.

 

However, with that being said, the Admins can just as easily not have those x10 BH events so they can make a profit.

Congratulations for the first 2500 eDays I'll enjoy these packs

I know a lot of players in D1 with more than 250g, and with a 10x BH gold day they can make atleast 400-500g if they hunt well ... SO D1 players
