free chests vs. bought chests

Hey. Just something i asked myself:
Is it possible that in the three chests you can buy for the incredibly price of 25 gold (why is it so expensive btw?) after a mission the reward is much better than in the chests you get for free? I never buy them but maybe someone does and can tell us?! Or the mods here? (Sorry if this was allready a topic somewhere here?).
Thx, schmuls.

If the game says there are gold/silver tickets available then they are there to be found. If someone picks in a pattern that does not locate and open them then at least one more chance to look is provided because the video option isn't always given.
directly from OldGoth's mouth....or keyboard from thread you provided
"You have it figured out already, but let's be clear: we roll for your rewards when you launch the mission. Then it's up to you how many you open.
The rolls, including the order you're going to get, are fair. We would never lie on the amount of silver and gold boxes available, or game the order they're given out to get you to spend more. (We do rig the very first drop in the tutorial to introduce how the rewards work.)
The awards have to be rolled for, and their opening order set, when you commit your resources (gas, survivors) by launching the mission; we can't have you cheating the system by cutting your connection and trying again until you get the rewards you'd prefer. Only fair this way."
Haven't gotten that gear yet, but I am hoping.
Play to Slay. Slay to live another day. Daily players. On and killing walkers as often as we can.
We need you! We want you!
To test this: Just before completing a mission (on iOS) slide up to activate "airplane mode". Pick 3 boxes, exit game, force close TWD/NML, turn OFF airplane mode, and start the game again. You will find your game just before ending the mission. Repeat the steps above by going into airplane mode and pick 3 DIFFERENT boxes. They will be the exact same rewards as before.
Doing this makes you lose any chance of watching a video for three more picks FYI. Only benefit I see with this is fleeing the mission to try for a different reward at the cost of gas + injury.
I just pick chests, I dont cheat but if the game creators tell me its not rigged then I believe them.
Whatever, you need to be right more than to answer the question, then Im done with the conversation. See you next go around since you want to follow me around and contradict everything I say.I must have been having a bad day and agree with everyone that is stating that we were both correct and the issue was that we were taking each other's statements out of context.
DarkFae was merely saying that if you have not found the Golden Tickets yet, you need to open more boxes. This is correct! She did not talk about which boxes tickets are hidden behind or their pre determinations
Outofbox, your comment about the prizes being predetermined is ALSO 100% correct, the prizes are chosen as soon as you spend the gas to start the mission, but it was not what DarkFae was talking about. It's a seperate topic that she had not mentioned or referred too.
No contradictions were made, you were just talking about two completely different things that sounded similar. The stalking word was never used and both of you got frustrated over a misunderstanding.
Play nice! I think you're both awesome
Say I end a mission and pick the three chests in the middle row.
I don't like what I get.
I disconnect and prevent the data from being sent.
I then reconnect and pick again. This time I pick the three chests on the top row.
The outcome will be *EXACTLY* the same.
It does not matter, at all, which chests you choose.
The *ORDER* in which the chests are presented to you is predetermined at map load.
That means, there are gold chests you can ONLY get by spending 25g because they will be among the last three cards on the table, and only within reach by watching an ad, and then spending gold, or just spending 50g to get to them.

Her point is just that if you're lucky enough to
get the gold tickets given to you straight away, there is no need to pick anymore boxes.
She further explains that there are good tickets on the side to indicate how many are contained with the selection of 9 chests. When she refers to the selection mattering, she is specifically just discussing whether or not the tickets are obtained, not which chest is chosen. Very basic and 100% true, no need to argue.
Your gone more advanced and discussed that the boxes you elect to choose are irrelevant as prizes are given in a pre-ordained order. So there is no luck involved as you dance your fingers across the screen and select three boxes - (and here I was always believing in the magic of choosing boxes using the numbers in Pi)
She may have misinterpreted the experimentation being conducted by disconnecting as trying to cheat the system even though we all know it can't be cheated as they're predetermined.
But, that was not her initial point which is still valid. As I pointed out earlier, she's not wrong and neither are you.
She knows this as she read the post from the Devs just like everyone else.
It's not what she was talking about. She only referred to the tickets on the side being found or not.
Well done everyone for trying to school her when she was just being helpful.
1) Pick any 3 boxes (we should all know by now that the boxes you pick does not matter since the rewards are already pre-determined)
2) If you're unhappy with what you have gotten from 1), open 3 more boxes using either the free video option or pay 25 gold.
3) If you're still unhappy with what you have gotten from 2), open the remaining 3 boxes using either the free option or pay 25 more gold.
4) If you have completed all 3 steps, you will be guaranteed to receive what is indicated on the right of your screen.

- Whatever you get in the chests is totally of the same quality you get normally. Also distribution etc.
- I feel opening guaranteed gold chests with gold is the best use of it unless you are into outfits. Keep in mind though any "good" item you get now will be outdated in a fast pace due to devs just adding more lvls to everything. For example, lvl 14 min rare item is of equal value vs. lvl 12 min legendary item.
- One aspect bothering me is how the game decides when to offer ad unlocks. I know for certain there is some maximum amount of ad unlocks that refresh every 12 hours but then the game does not always give you the option to use an ad unlock even if it should be available (you should be saving ad unlocks for gold chest finds). I don't know if there is some logic to when the game offers you ad unlocks or whether it is totally random.
Thx to all the other replies. Seems like i was wrong and just as unlucky with gold stuff as everyone else.
Reading on the outside I could see they were both confused about what each was saying and they both seem right.
Cinema and reward screen ad viewing are separate. Both are limited to a certain number of views per hours.
