Polar Ice Field curiosity
Now I expect I just have miserable luck, but I'm curious. I went through the ice field once, right after the trophy came out (yay me). Which is good, because I got to make Wyr. But I haven't gotten farther than the second screen in at least a month. I always pick left--because that's how I got my bucket in the first place--so I'm kind of wondering: do I just have really, really bad luck, and the always-pick-left method still works on occasion; or did the code get changed a little, so that you have to mix it up sometimes?
Re: Polar Ice Field curiosity
I usually either pick just left or right, and I've gotten a bucket as recently as a month or so ago. *shrugs* I've gotten about 3 since it's been released.

Re: Polar Ice Field curiosity
Soooo probably my poor luck. Didn't they run a trivia where you had to get to the third page? Seems like something I didn't just dream up.
Re: Polar Ice Field curiosity
I have not heard anything of the code changing.
For the ice fields, each page you have an x% chance (I want to say 70. I'm not sure.) of correctly getting to the next page, I believe. So, the 'path' is completely random each time.

Re: Polar Ice Field curiosity
I also always pick left and I've made it to the bucket in the past few weeks.
I fail at the slush WAY more than 70% of the time, though.

Re: Polar Ice Field curiosity
I hardly bother with the fields. I've gotten one bucket and it took me forever. I usually lose on the first or second page. The way I see it is that I've got the trophy, so what's the point in "playing" it anymore?
Re: Polar Ice Field curiosity
I barely ever get past the second stage, and play as regularly as I remember to. I've collected one bucket over my many attempts, too. I think I'm just cursed with bad luck. ^_~ I used to do always left, but nowadays I just do whatever. Obviously this hasn't been working out too well.
I do it for the free, expensive item... considering I want to make a glacier Tigrean without paying more than the price of the chalice.

Re: Polar Ice Field curiosity
I'm pretty sure I've gotten at least 6-7 of them, but I do it a LOT... as often as I think of it. (At least as often as I do Random.)

Re: Polar Ice Field curiosity
I always go left. For the first few months, it seemed to work out reasonably well; I managed to snag 4 or 5 buckets that way. But now I hardly ever get past the second page. I got past the cub last night (i.e. got the handle), but lost it on the last page. -_-
I have the trophy, but I'm trying to get Mama as a 1P battle challenger, so I visit the fields as often as I'm able. It doesn't help that getting her is completely random even if you manage to make it to that page without a cookie. :/

Re: Polar Ice Field curiosity
I've always chosen to go left (well, after the first couple of months, when choosing at random meant I'd never gotten past the second screen) and I've gotten a bucket once.
I've made it to the final page four times, and the rest of the time I'm usually gone by the second page.
I think it just really, really doesn't like me. >.>

Re: Polar Ice Field curiosity
I got my first bucket going all right and then my second bucket going all left. For the last two months or so I have been trying all right again, but I haven't gotten past the handle in a long, long time. I usually botch it by the second screen as well.

Re: Polar Ice Field curiosity
Public bitching, ftw! Seriously, Ty, that's the second one I've received since the game debuted, and I've gone a minimum of two or three times daily, most days way more often.You've got the Bucket of Polar Water!
So, yays, and all of that. =D
FWIW, I chose left all the way.

Re: Polar Ice Field curiosity
Thanks, that makes me feel better. Except for being proven to be exceptionally unlucky, but maybe public bitching will help. ^_~
