Polar Ice Field curiosity

Post by AngharadTy »

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.)

It took me a long time to get my first bucket, but I think I've gotten 3-4 now. I always alternate left/right.

I also play several times a day.

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. :/

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. >.>

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.

You've got the Bucket of Polar Water!
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.

So, yays, and all of that. =D

FWIW, I chose left all the way.

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

Double posting just to laugh and let you guys know--

It actually worked! When I saw the tigrean in the snow, my eyebrows lifted. Haven't seen that thing in weeks and weeks!
