Sometimes with some of my characters I have encountered huge gaps between SS missions appearing, there have been quite a few days that have taken about 4 to 8 Refreshes using coupons to find the next SS mission.

For a couple of weeks it was usually if I wasn't on for the morning convoy runs, the game would screw me with the night runs by not giving an SS until I refreshed a bunch of times.

It does happen, more regularly than some of you have experienced and it can get very very bad if you don't have the time or resources to "ensure" that an SS shows up.

A guaranteed SS would save a lot of coupons and would be extremely appreciated.

wat handout??? why are u white knights always saying handouts...........the point im making is it should be in the resets THATS ALL even if u refresh 3 times and not get it it shud come up in the waiting timers cuz today again it has happend and i cant log in both times due to WORK so wen i miss it thats a easy 30 coupons which can be PLUNDERED and lessend to 18 gone for us f2p who can barely get coupons other events all the powerhouses dominate and u know this so stop talkin cap abt o be patient for months and months and hope these guys quit so u can take over thats bogus and anyway as i said its ony 30!!! not asking for an increase just make the SS convoy come up at least 1 bloody time....y is tht asking for handouts???? time is money dude and thats just a small convenience being asked for i uno what in that is a handout

THIS is what im trying to tel thess white knights that keep saying we want free ( note this SS is alrdy a freebie anyway) and we want this n that we jus want it to be a sure thing cuz wen u dont get it that is alot of coupons that is alrdy hard to get gone!!! and as this guy said it happens quite alot im sure these guys saying that probably are top dogs on there server so they plunder and dont even notice convoy not giving SS sometimes which happens ALOT

I am a "top dog" in my server(ranked 2nd in power), but I never plunder, never even once.

And yes, you are asking for hand outs. While you are not asking for more, you are asking to get the reward for less work. How would you feel if someone joins your server, press a *on, do not need to spend a cent and instantly have the same power etc as the strongest ftp in your server (which might be you, or might be stronger than you). I mean he COULD HAVE joined at the same time as that person and did everything they did and thus could have gotten all that for free, he's not getting any thing extra. All he is getting is the same stuff for less work.

See the problem?

The model of the game is input -> output

The input can be effort, time or money. The output is power (or resources that you c*e for power)

What you are asking for is less input for the same output, or if we compare with what you get now, same input for more output.

That is most certainly asking for handout.

I've played for over a year, so well before 2.0 came out. I've convoyed everyday since 2.0 came out. And of all that time, there have only been 2 or 3 times where I didn't even see a SS in the day. And I'm fairly certain that at least one of those are on days where I missed a large chunk of the noon session and tbh I usually can't get the full 16, only 10-14. So quite frankly, if you put in the maximal input as far as convoy goes, you will be almost guaranteed an SS (99.9%+).

Attaching guaranteed SS to the free refresh would be reasonable, but I was thinking about the unfortunate 0.1% when I thought that. Now that I know there are those who expect handout, I'm going to attach a "12th refresh" minimal clause on that--you don't get a guarantee until your 12th refresh (I would say 16, but that would be rather unrealistic)

I mean really, all of this is irrelevant anyway since I don't think they can really change it.

I was just pointing out that it is pretty easy to be screwed out of an SS and that it does in fact happen semi-regularly, arguing and debating and whatever else is kind of whatever.

I don't think 1 guaranteed SS in a free refresh would do any harm, it would just make convoy less tedious sometimes.

That's about it.

Well if Oasis follows what the changes in China, the time to refresh becomes 15 minutes instead of 30 and you get 4 free refreshes instead of 2.
