Crates, Keys & Lotteries! by keenanjt November 21, 2015 at 3:11 AM UTC
Crates, Keys & Lotteries!
I think we can all agree that updates to the server are long overdue. Today we implement one new feature of many to come in the coming weeks and months.
Crates & Keys
After every match, you have a chance based on how the match went to win a random crate (currently Alpha, Beta or Gamma). You'll find them in your backpack in the lobbies. Inside each crate is a lottery ticket and a random item from the credit shop, but to unlock it, you must use a key purchased from the Avicus shop. There will be more ways to get keys, but we'll be talking about that in a future update.
Lottery
Each week there will be a lottery that rewards lucky players with different prizes each week. Prizes could include ranks, credits, items from the credit shop, beta testing opportunities, and much more! To be a part of the lottery, simply click a lottery ticket in your backpack and you'll be entered into the random drawing. Redeem prizes with
/redeem. Tell us your ideas for prizes below if you would like, we're listening! See www.avicus.net/lottery for the current lottery info.We're really excited to be releasing this feature as just the beginning of new and interesting enhancements coming to The Avicus Network. We hope to integrate item trading and buying/selling in the future as requested. Stay tuned for more updates! Follow us on Twitter and like us on Facebook.
Edit: We realize this isn't a game changing feature, it's something fun we threw in to preface some big things coming up :P

If you could add another 25 abilities to the credit shop then it would be worth it. Nice job! :DMehrp November 21, 2015 at 7:11 AM UTC

Maybe if you vote 14 days in total you could recive a key, 33% of getting any kind.And I dont know about you, but imo there should be custom badges that you can only get from the crates.

Honestly I would only buy a key for the special badge. Make a TINY chance of getting a rank. Makes it much more appealing to buy imoIron November 21, 2015 at 2:11 PM UTC

Quick question, how do you earn crates?Does it depend on your kills?
Amount of monuments destroyed?
Or is it just completely random?

Is there any other way to get keys?Avi-Case Simulator????
Is it a scam like CS:GO cases, or actual 1:1 profit or greater?
(scam, I mean extremely minimal chance of profit)

This sounds amazing!PokerFace November 22, 2015 at 12:11 PM UTC
I don't think the crates work. I earned a Gamma Crate on the scrimmage server, but my backpack was still empty.hasl November 22, 2015 at 1:11 PM UTC

Just a glitch I'm guessing.
DaFrozenBlaze November 22, 2015 at 2:11 PM UTC
Scrim servers don't give you credits so I doubt crates will be awarded on those servers.
Just a glitch I'm guessing.

I got an Alpha Crate but it's not in my backpack. Where did it go?pmzek November 22, 2015 at 3:11 PM UTC

There have been a few bugs rewarding crates, they should be resolved soon.PokerFace November 24, 2015 at 12:11 AM UTC

I checked back the next day and my crate appeared in my backpack.

I didnt see this asked (If it was then sorry im blind) but if your backpack is full then will the crates dissapear? im asking this cause my trail dissapeared out of the chest, though its still visable.UneCookie December 18, 2015 at 9:12 PM UTC

Any chance of using credits to buy lottery tickets / crate keys? I know it wont support the server as much but it gives those who aren't able to spend real money on the server a chance at getting the good stuff?GrapeSmoothie December 18, 2015 at 10:12 PM UTC
