    OK WTF is this?

    So, I can "earn them back?" Is this bought? It say's "Favor Points you spend will be stored in your Piggy Bank" as in use FP's or as in BUY FP's?
    Poor execution
    On bottom it says "You must have saved 25 Favor Points before you can Break the Bank! "

    So is it spend or saved? What's the gamble rate going, roulette wheel going by 50/50 with 0 and double 00?????

    If it's buy only, take it off my screen.

    Hey Jades. For this weekend when you spend FP in game a portion of each spent will go into your Piggy Bank. The bank can accumulate a maximum value of 250FP and you can "break" it at any time to get those FP for $5. You can open the bank as many times as you like until the end of Monday.

    Uhm, so break it cost of $5, gotcha, shouldn't that be in a tutorial? We can't read your mind. Spend and FP's owned still lost on as well.

    Fair point. We'll look to tighten up the language in the modal to better explain this.

    I've spent 21un and
    also....if you were to hit the 25UN threshold to break for the $5 to break it you could have just bought 25un

    It maxes out at 250, but you need to have at least 25 saved in order to break.

    I replied to your other thread. Curious what the 15fp purchase was

    if this feature was during raids it might be used, but outside of raids you would be spending fps just for the sake of it.

    We appreciate the feedback around the language used in the Piggy Bank modal all; we went through a few revisions internally, but it is always helpful to have more input on it! Apologies for any confusion around the nature of the feature.

    As a side note, I've removed some of the other posts in this thread about how people feel about the feature itself. That's all well and good, but this is a small part of our larger Black Friday offerings that you can choose not to engage with. The icon itself is small and will disappear when the sale is over on Monday.

    We're interested in clearing up any confusion around how the bank works or any language around it, but we'd like to keep it to that for the time being and will be pruning any posts that don't fall within our interpretation of that.

    Someone told me they purchased (3) crates @98 fp's each and 19 were added, how is 3 of same purchases come out to different amounts added? 19/3=6.33 One would think it should of added either 18 or 21, does it work on a hidden decimal and not 'even' numbers?

    Yes there are hidden decimals at work, because, as you can see in your example, not everything works out as a clean round number.

    So basically someone can spend the equivalent of 17 US dollars to buy the 3 master crates, and it amounts to a piddly amount in the piggy bank? 19/250? So in order to fill the piggy bank for this event, you pretty much need to be a high roller willing to blow a huge wad of money just to get the piggy bank full in the first place. If that is the case, put it /keep it on the Gods page for all the big spenders to see!

    i know earlier i did spend 98 on Item Crates an i came up with 19fps! but to be honest an here is my feedback about this: I think it would be awesome an would be best if you could make this Piggy Bank Free for a Limited Time where that way if people are spending on crates an such an such all them fps in the Piggy Bank should become Free too all User's! Just a Suggestion!

    You must have saved 25 Favor Points
    before you can Break the Bank! ...............so no Rodney, if you have 51 fps in your piggy bank, you can crack it open anytime before the end of Monday for $5.

    My niece has broken piggy banks for pennies before, but if told her gotta pay me $5 to do it, it'd never happen. Then make her buy a new piggy bank and she'd owe me $$$$$$$$ simple logic, even from a 5 year old= ask for the $5 before hand.

    Basically what it boils down to on this feature if use ~150 FP's throughout the event then pay $5 you will get few FP's back at a discount. The FP's used is a perk that goes into the bank at no extra expense, so guess it is what it is.... Route I'd go, nope, to each their own. Correct me if I'm wrong KANO.

    Yes, basically. A portion of the FP you use over the weekend goes into the Piggy Bank. You can choose to open it any time before Monday, or not. Up to you.

    Correct. You have until midnight (Pacific / Server Time) on Monday Nov 26th to redeem your Piggy Bank FP. After which the Piggy Bank will be disabled.


    Which option is there more to be able to pay!
