ZeroPhobic Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I am told you can click the daily reward as it slows down to "choose" one as it gets toward the end, is this true and can anyone confirm either way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strac_CRO Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 (edited) I think they fixed that in last few patches = stop it from happening Edited April 18, 2013 by Strac_CRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroPhobic Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 fixed it how, to stop it from happening or to allow us to do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aramahn Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 According to the wiki, the slot machine style rotating images is for visual effect only. Clicking on it has zero effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroPhobic Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 I never trust wiki, I was hoping that someone knew or could confirm this from their own actions or from hearing it from the DE team. Thank you for answering the post Aramahn, I'll hope that I can get a hold of a member of the DE team or try to confirm another way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noogums Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Clicking it works. Today, I clicked on the Ash Blueprint icon before the Slot stopped. It stopped on Pistol Item XP, but when I looked in my Foundry, I had Ash's Blueprint. I did this for testing purposes, as I already have Ash, and didn't have the BP in my Foundry before doing this. Whether or not it's intentional, it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solanius Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 It USED to be click to choose. Not sure now, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether or not it's intentional, it works. See I thought it worked for me too, but I was shouted down on another forum. I really hope this is true and we can have a chance for a better reward other than ammo boxes which is all I have gotten since I started playing (okay and a couple healths, but still) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krisp Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I just clicked an Ash icon literally 30 seconds ago and now I have an ash blueprint (the kind you buy from the market) in my Foundry. Yes I'm sure I didn't have one earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBadHunkyDaddy Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 (edited) DESteve himself said it doesn't work. (I'm not going to search for that post) And people will tell you that it works ONLY under certain circumstances (like clicking only when it slows down, or when you stand on one foot, while scratching a purple parrot behind his third ear). It's funny, this whole clicking thing reminds of a certain cracked article from 2 days ago: http://www.cracked.com/blog/4-superpowers-everyone-thinks-they-secretly-have/ P.S. I tried it several times. Doesn't work. P.P.S. The thing about RNG is, that you can get the thing you clicked on, but that doesn't mean clicking works. You just lucked out.

krisp Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 DESteve himself said it doesn't work. (I'm not going to search for that post) DESteve also said drops were fine a few days before he ate his words. Yes, you click as the transition happens. I've gotten a reactor and a few catalyst blueprints this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBadHunkyDaddy Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I'd like to see a video of people repeatedly getting the reward they click on. And by 'click on' I mean click just one time, on the one thing they want. Every day over a week. That'd put this whole thing to rest very quickly I'm pretty sure.

Yeah, I didn't know this was such an unknown. I thought it would be a for sure Yes or No, but no one can really confirm or deny this (other than Wiki, and no thank you to that as proof) I am still holding a hope in the bottom of my soul this is real, because those ammo boxes really need to stop!

BigBadHunkyDaddy Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 (edited) You can try it yourself. I did. Several times. Didn't work once. Getting only ammo boxes like you... People just like to feel they can influence things over which they have no power. :) If someone comes up with a proper video proof, I'll gladly eat my words. But until then...

It's pretty hard to do it consecutively since some things you'd want to click on come at the beginning of the cycle. But if you want to argue that the only times I've gotten catalyst and reactor blueprints by clicking on them were times that I would have gotten them anyway by just waiting... assuming I never got something like that if I just let it roll... then I guess you can.

krisp Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 So you can't reproduce the result of your experiment is what you are saying? No, I'm saying the experiment comes once every 24 hours and I'd rather take my chances to click on what I'd want than prove to some random nay-sayer on the forums that what I'm doing is legit. After all, I don't really care whether you're convinced or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noogums Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I can't make much of an experiment, since I don't think my reflexes will be up for the task, but every time I get the Login Reward Slot, I get the generic things. Credits, XP, and ammo boxes. The one day I try click on something, I click on the Ash BP, while the slots are slowing down. The image displayed when they stop is Pistol Item XP. But, when I check my Foundry, there sits Ash. Now that's either astronomical coincidence, or proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
