We've opened the ATS (Advanced Test Servers) today (April 24th) in order to test on a larger scale the features of the upcoming patch. Find more details
here.
Please give us your feedback in this thread for this point:
- A brotherhood strongly loving dappers installed wheels of fortune in the four capital cities.
Note: We haven't translated all the new texts yet so you may encounter French words here and there. We should patch a translated version within the week.

After 1000 jetons... alot of jetons, 8 strength flowers of q100, 5 const flowers of q100, 3 dext flowers of q100, 2 intell flowers of q100, 2 stacks of 20 q150 cats ....
That's not really much for 3 hours of playing, eh ...
I think these regular prizes should be a bit more frequent or give a better bonus than this
These silly flowers only give a 100 hp or whatever bonus for only 10 minutes (which is about the time it takes to get one) :/
And yes, I know there are also a few rare prizes, but I guess the chance to get them is somewhere near 0.001% ...

Jetons and the game - the idea is good for a dapper sink but please:
- Make the jetons more expensive
- Give the option to place 1 / 5 /10 /25 /50 jetons in at one go (thus increasing %)
- overall increase the % i agree with kaet that if things stand as they are people will have very little reason (other than boredom) to play.
- make jetons tradeable (or buy back) with NPC's
- Increase the speed of it, 4 seconds is a long time when you have to put 1000 jetons in..
Posibilities with jetons:
- Give them a value like (like casino chips.) make it so theres Q50 - Q250 (each jeton costs more and increase %)
- Items that are only buyable from jetons (nice looking things that can only be bought with like 50K jetons or whatever)
- change the look of the guy at the wheel he looks the same in all the regions i visited
- have different wheels in more cities (thesos, mincho, avendale etc etc) with each with an item that only that wheel produces
Ok, well thats what i think so far - no doubt ill add more idea's

That's actually a very good idea. Not sure how it works, but it could be something like, 'you wont a PR ticket, where would you like the destination to be?'

It's a nice start for a dapper sink, needs some modifications to make it less boring though.
How about the option to place in 50 tokens at once, and everything you win in those 50 tries pops up in one window?
I agree we need tokens of Q50, Q100, Q150, Q200 and Q250. But I was thinking rather than higher quality tokens giving higher chances to win something, they give higher quality prizes. (Q200 tokens give Q200 flowers and Q200 crystals, etc.)
Different prizes in different towns would also be nice. I don't know if this is already so?
Prizes that are buyable with large amounts of tokens only have a use if there's a possibility to win back more tokens than you put in (doesn't seem to be the case right now). Otherwise everyone's just going to buy the amount of tokens they cost.
I hope the current system is just the first draft and more prizes will be added in the future. If they're already giving out flowers and crystals, perhaps OP materials would make good prizes too?
