Citizens of San Paro,

This weekend we will be introducing the Joker Mystery Box I to the Armas Marketplace!





For just 99 G1C you can unwrap the mystery!

Each box will randomly award you with a prize.

Joker Mystery Box I will also be introducing a never-before released weapon!

Stay tuned later this week to learn more...

[Byrning]

So is it any random Armas item or something certain like clothing

There's a little mix of both...

[AdamCarter]

What's the weapon?

[lulzworthy]

Cool, now lets see some progress on the game and not marketplace garbage.

Can we buy more than one ? Is there's good chance to get cool stuff ? I mean, I don't want to buy 5 boxes to get 5x the same thing lol

Your "new never before released" weapon. Don't know if it's a lease or perm.

Okay I have no problem spending $50 for a gun outright, at that point I know what I'm getting and I know it's perma. Now spending around $1.25 USD for a stupid box that obviously the drop rate of the perma items is very low is utterly speshul. You basicly get 40 "rolls" to get this perm gun before you are better off to have just bought one. I've played a lot of games with this "mystery box" system, GunZ, S4L, SF, and I know how this works. Some of my old clan mates from other games can tell you this is a damn joke. One of my clan makes Koph from GunZ bought over 100 of these mystery boxes and never got a damn thing perm. I've known people in SF to have spent 100's of bucks on these boxes to have never seen the item they want. I won't be surpized there are going to be people doing this for a silly gun. I understand that g1 needs to make money and I have been fully supportive of them doing it, up till now. This is one of the biggest "scams" games have done for a long time. Sooner or later what happens is the excusesive must have guns land in these boxes at .01% drop rates and people dump speshul ammounts of cash into 3 day items never to see these perma guns.

Honestly worst route g1 could have taken to make money. You can put the tactical pack in it, even Larochas gun, but I and I'm pretty sure other people who know how this actually works will never put money into the game this way. I really wish g1 did not do this as it a very bad system to fall into. I liked the fact i could just outright buy what I wanted but I guess I'll see where this goes. If you plan on doing this you need to make a list of items like all the other games that do this sytem, that we can possibly win from it and also if these items are perma or limited. You'd probally sell more if players knew they wouldn't be getting 3 day army ants.

Anyway, good luck to anywho who bothers trying this.

Also what happens if we get items we already have from the boxes, is this even possible? If it's like every other game I'm sure it is and it will be wasted by sitting in your mail forever.

Hey G1, if you really want to make money, GIVE US THE TACTICAL PACK!

"A boat's a boat, but the mystery box could be anything. It could even be a boat!"

[M3rky]

That scout has an open slot too, seems worth it.

[Confusedracoon]

dont you guys understand what Mystery means? if they tell you, then whats the point?

Its a gamble, like any game that has a "roll the dice for prizes" sort of thing, you could get two perma guns one box after another, or you could get 2....sets of decals or the hockey mask.. for 99g1c, its worth the gamble, just dont expect perma weapons or even temp weapons in every box. I bet you any money the "drop rate" for perma/temp weapons will be super low.


P.S. OMW i want the digital UK scout. gimgimigmgimigmigmigmimgimigmigmimgimgimigimiiiiii plix

Joker Unwrapping Scissors (2x the chance of getting a rare item)


(don't hurt me)

[Sushin]

Of course you can buy more than one. They essentially added gambling to the game.

[Hatsumiku]

This is bad.. very very bad... Some of us have a real problem with gambling addiction, you know...

I know there's going to going to be someone who spends over $500 on joker boxes, before he finally gets that weapon.

[Eradicate]

I want to see desert scarf masks in here! Or tactical pack items so everyone can stfu about it lol.

[Ange1ofD4rkness]

You know what for 99 G1c I might take a chance and buy 1 or 2, don't always have the best luck with these but hey it's 99 G1c

(also if it is the scout cool, but the thing is they said "never released" ... making me think it isn't actually the scout)

I would like to know what I have a chance to unlock, I mean i assume it's limited to weapons, but I don't know. But then again having an idea what might come in it could ruin the Mystery.

But can you confirm it's limited to weapons or not?

DERP !

[Xazur]

Yeh, gambling system is a big no-no for me. It really gets annoying opening tons of boxes and getting crap you don' need. If your going to add the joker mystery box, please also just add the weapons that come with it for normal price, and let people decide whether they want to gamble on it or just buy it.
