It wasn't an empty wall, but a little look behind the secret curtain:

Now everyone can indulge in their dream. 😜

The connoisseur remains silent 😇

Thanks @HansSachs. I've just popped a couple of extra cards into my wishlist so I am going to purchase a pack (as I want the cards anyway) and see what happens next.

@pickle1 It's not the first time there has been such an offer, so - even if I did not partecipate today, I can tell you that, other times, it worked like so:

• in each offered pack there was (if I remember well) at least a card from your wishlists, and sometimes two;
• first packs you did buy tended to include more cards from wishlist than other ones.

gary: I kinda love it when things like this happen, my friend. Absolutely no need to apologise! You gave a BLANK wall to scroll thru. Own it, buddy! I wish I had that super power...😈

Interestingly - the three cards in the pack I am being offered contain the two cards I had in my Wishlist - so this looks like my first pack is targeted specifically to me. Can anyone confirm that they are seeing cards from their wishlists - because it would seem a good time to fill up my wishlist so I can get them all with 10% off. And then the next question is - would the free pack also contain wishlist cards?

@Ullubu

Thanks for response, I guess I didn't see the higher card price noted. Sorry for the ***** and all have a good day.

@HombreSinSombra

Sorry if my post caused an issue. It definitely wasn't my intent. Not sure what happened.

The cost for this card for a triple diamond member is 16.5 credits. With premium you pay 13.2 credits. So everything is right with your prize.

This card, like several others with special costumes, has a higher than normal nominal price.

Need to correct my earlier question. I was actually charged 13.2 credits not 13.75

Dude! You broke the forum! Good job! 😉

Eva Elfie (card f0613)

I am a premium member with a full collection of all shows. I just purchased the Eva Elfie card and was charged 13.75 credits. I did not receive my premium member discount. If this is considered a "special" card voiding the discount I think it should have been pointed out to members.

This is what I see...

an example of what a lesser mortal sees 😉

@2scompanyinjax - as a long time member with a large collection you should by now have been aware that for most (not not quite all) TGIFs the most recent card (normally the last 45 days I think) are not included.

However, I think that is very remiss of Totem not to say this when they announce the offers. It always seems to catch someone out who then reports it here - and probably many more who do not.

@2scompanyinjax
You get packs, but if you have almost all cards there are no packs to buy.
And you see 'Enjoy your new cards'.

Okay, I figured it out. This is ***** for those of us who own all of the cards. I can't see a "Pack" on my Featured page because new cards are not included in the packs. On my side, it just reads enjoy your new cards. So, I thought it was buy three cards, get one free. Not three Packs and get a Pack free.

Nope, not free :( I guess the new cards don't count. They should indicate which cards count somewhere. I'll submit as a problem ticket and see if they clarify or credit my account.

Just did, no change. I guess I could just buy the forth card and see if I get it for free.

Have you tried a sync with servers ?

Do the newest cards count towards free cards? I purchased 3 cards but my counter isn't moving...

And once again it was really worth it, thanks again for this offer 👍

We're here to help !

@HansSach

Yes they are just ordinary cards - for me that makes having them associated with some specific event more important as it is the only excuse for having them at all.

@TheEmu My opinion, as I already did point more times, is that there really never has been any special card nor a special event. There are just ordinary cards which for marketing reasons we are not allowed to buy.
In any case, what would really matter for me would be getting a clear and sure path in order to get the exclusive card, at least in the first week after its release - as it has been done in some cases.
About your point 1, and other ones I didn't quote, there is not a real disagreement - I just find them not so relevant for me.

@HansSachs

Can you clarify why you disagree with "Make it clear what event a special event card is associated with" - i.e. mention the event in the announcement accompanying the release. This was not done for this last event and we had to guess what the event was.

I agree only about two points among the seven ones by @TheEmu, but to these two I do agree very strongly:

4) During the period of the special event itself there should preferably be some way of being certain to obtain the card by participating in that event. The advent calendars provide a good example of this.
7) Don't offer them too often otherwise they cease to be special. I think one a month would be far too often, one every two or three months feels better to me.

@BanditB12 An iPad is more like a tablet or an Iphone.

@zerodragon Hi, can you please send me some screenshots to : [email protected]

@kaiju - If you are going to think about the special event cards then here is a list of thing that I would like to see taken in consideration.

1) Make it clear what event a special event card is associated with. Preferably it should still be clear what was being celebrated years after the event itself.

2) Make the cards themselves have some relevance to the event they celebrate. Preferably via the costumes or accessories, but at the very least by its name.

3) If at all possible make the cards, or rather the performances, themselves be special.

4) During the period of the special event itself there should preferably be some way of being certain to obtain the card by participating in that event. The advent calendars provide a good example of this.

5) Only some time after a special event should it be possible to win its associated card via a gambling game or by direct purchase. To do otherwise detracts from the idea of a special event.

6) If possible make it "feel better" to obtain a card by participating in its associated special event than by obtaining it via a secondary route (gambling game or direct purchase).

7) Don't offer them too often otherwise they cease to be special. I think one a month would be far too often, one every two or three months feels better to me.

There is nothing special about most of these "special event cards" except that they can't simply be purchased.

There does not even seem to be any event, special or otherwise, associated with the current SEC (the one started on Feb 21 and which I expect will end in a couple of hours time). At least with the previous SECs there was something being celebrated by the SEC with this one the only thing I can think of is that the SEC is marking is the release of itself - a recursive celebration. (such logic may provide an adequate excuse for a party, but that is about all). Maybe it was intended to mark the start of carneval - but I can not remember any mention of it.

@Primera111,

Welcome to a long and occasionally heated discussion. Many of us agree with you. There is nothing special about most of these "special event cards" except that they can't simply be purchased. Totem seems to think these are a useful source of revenue. That may be the case. I'm trying to pretend they don't exist.

@zerodragon

i was having same issue.
theres an option if using credit card to swith billing companys, netbilling or epoch.
I trried netbilling for a week and manue even asked me to try netbilling. no luck.
changed it to epoch...boom.... hello 4K!

good luck
cheers

I am a double diamond class steam user. This account is the one i created to talk about here in the forum. I apologize first for my poor English. I used Google Translator.




What is the Special Event Card? This card is used to reward participants who participated in a special event. I have 10 special cards except the 2 most recent ones, but I don't think they have any special content compared to other cards.

It is a reward card for event participants with a value of just 25 credits. In terms of content, we can say that 30 or 40 credit cards are rather special.

It makes no sense to make it buy immediately for 100 or 200 credits. If so, make a card with a real 200 credit value and sell it as a special card.



I think the profits of the company are very important for both the consumer and the company to win-win. Therefore, we understand the company's position of making huge profits through gambles using special cards as bait.

But nowadays, it is a problem that the company wants to profit by getting special cards only through the gamble, not the reward concept of the event.




Of course, no one is ***** you to get this card, but I'm convinced that no one has bought more than 4000 because all models are good. They just buy all the models they don't like because they want to complete the full collection.

Thus, Nobody is compelled to buy, but in fact, these collectors are said to be ***** to buy.




Don't stamp a normal card as a special card every month as you do now, but instead open an event like Advanced calendar before, pay special cards as rewards to those who participate, and For those who want to get a special card without attending this event, I agree to gamble like now.

i can also understand that i only get special cards with Gamble without an event. However, Reveal the odds of winning. I'm convinced that totems change their odds every time they play scratch gems. If the totem reveals the probability, it will say fair.

If the odds are low, people won't participate, and they won't be angry even if they won't win. I think the totem will also assign appropriate odds to increase profits.

However I understand how it can be frustrating for those who already own thousands of shows and I read some interesting ideas among the thread, like the possibility of buying Joker cards for premium members.
This will be seriously considered, as well as other ways to win speciel event cards in a less frustrating way.

I'll keep you posted :)
Thank you @Kaiju for the response.......

In my opinion, Totem's best longterm customers, those who have the most cards, should be able to buy Joker cards. To that effect, there should be a new member level that would be eligible to buy Joker cards. The current highest level currently is Triple Diamond with 1500 or more cards. The new level (possibly called Quad Diamond or Mega Diamond) would be for members with 3500 or more cards. These members who are Premium members would be able to buy Joker cards. Being a Premium member is a Must, to buy Joker cards at proposed levels.............

As @Optimal has proposed.......................

What I propose for Premium members:
A single Joker card: 300 credits
Bundle of 2 Joker cards: 540 credits (incl. of 10% discount)
Bundle of 3 Joker cards: 720 credits (incl. of 20% discount)
Bundle of 4 Joker cards: 900 credits (incl. of 25% discount) - Buy 3 get 1 free! 😍
Is a good start, but to compensate for the loss of gaming revenue, I would suggest the levels for buying the Joker cards be adjusted.............

Single Joker card - 500 credits
Bundle of 2 Joker cards 950 credits (50 credit discount)
Bundle of 3 Joker cards - 1400 credits (100 credit discount)
Bundle of 4 Joker cards - 1850 credits (150 credit discount)

Those (Quad or Mega Diamond) members who Do Not want to upgrade to Premium could buy Joker cards, but would pay Double the price (Incentive to upgrade to Premium ??)

Those other members who are not (Quad or Mega Diamond members) would still be able to participate in the TGIF events to win SEC cards. This would give Totem's best customers an option to getting SEC cards without playing the TGIF events.

This is my proposal.............trying to be fair to everybody..........

Seems to me the simpliest method is just to give special event cards away to people who have every card and are members. So every collector will be ***** to spend $60 more but will get every SEC for free...in theory this will encourage people to fill out their collections and inevitably people will become collectors to get this special thing. I much prefer the product encouraging people to buy more cards vs. gambling to get something for nothing. This will also insulate against people who may stop being collectors if they are reminded a couple times a month that they are special.

ummm...Maue... isin't an iPad a mac?


Will there ever be a version for iPhone?

I think the games are rigged as I played the calendar and won an event card but it was supposed to come with the event card. All of the other games have produced nothing as to winnong any more cards since the first scratch game. When are we actually going to have a decent chance at these? I have burnt thru way too many credits for this not to be a set up. This current scratch game has produced no more than 10 credits on any scratch cards but, mostly zero. Since I have all the cards available other than special event cards I think there should be a way for something to be awarded for that at least.

Don't know why I can't edit post? Using app.
So over 200 credits a netto loss. As you win credits you can imagine how many cards I have scratched.
In losses it's over 40 cards. but won about 150 credits in 25. then stopped counting all the 10 and 5 in between.
So I guess I can be trusted if I scratched about 200 cards?
No card icon of SEC once. Like the slot machine never showed a letter on the bar.

Well all other things have been said here already.
Cheers,

I see a lot of passionate debats here. An official position might help to temper the heat ;)

Shortened the quote.
Thanks for an official response in this topic. Appreciated.
Have a good friday drink with the team and if you need any community feedback we are here.

• x-

What I mostly have against SEC is the time it take to click through all lottery tickets.

This time I had to buy 79 envelope to get the latest SEC, and after all credit win I was down 10 credit. So totem did get any larger amount of credit than a ordinary card from me. All was that I did lost lot of time to get it.en I got the SEC.

Shortened the quote but yes. 3 days further Credit balance is now fine for me.. But still no 50 credits, card icon or SEC . Scratched over 150 cards now. Lost count but minimum is 150.
@support, feel free to check and use data for analytics.

Thanks for the answer, VR is such an awesome feature! I was watching some VR Hulu videos last night and they even (some produced by National Geographic, ddin' come close to the quality of iStriper VR.

Dear members.

I see a lot of passionate debats here. An official position might help to temper the heat ;)

The feedbacks from members who play our games and win very big discounts, are very positive. For most of them, the special event cards are the icing on the cake, adding a good value to their collection.

@gkar45

With your suggested prices for jokers very few of those who now play the gambling games for SECs or jokers would do so. As a result Totem's profits from these games would drop and this would only be partialy compensated for by the direct sales of joker cards. In order to avoid this Totem are very unlikely to sell Jokers for such low prices. It is pointless proposing something that is attractive only to the customers, it has to be attractive to Totem as well. @Optimal 's suggested prices are much more realistic.

Don't *****, this is the last post from me for now regarding this story here.
You can see in which direction it is going. and the new resolution pays off.

So here is the Viola Bailey's Collection, also one of my absolute Dreamgirls.
She has an enchanting face and 2 arguments which should not be contradicted :D

And it's damn hard to choose the right picture all the time. But hey, we humans love the ***** of choice :-)
So this is how it should have been for now, I can only recommend it to everyone, it is very satisfying.

The gambling can stay for those not willing to spend a ton of money on Joker cards, I think that is fair. 😕

What I propose for Premium members:
A single Joker card: 300 credits
Bundle of 2 Joker cards: 540 credits (incl. of 10% discount)
Bundle of 3 Joker cards: 720 credits (incl. of 20% discount)
Bundle of 4 Joker cards: 900 credits (incl. of 25% discount) - Buy 3 get 1 free! 😍

I personally feel that iStripper should be like a on-demand service, what I want, I pay, I get. I shouldn't have to contend with long hours of playing the mind-numbing slot machine or scratching an endless supply of scratchcards in an attempt to get what I want. Work life is already depressing enough, but to face such a situation back home during my "quality time" is many times worse. 😱

Imagine for a moment if Netflix was like that, you will have to play a mini-game in order to unlock a special episode of your favourite series - I don't have the time for that! I just want to be fully entertained with all the free time I got. 😖

Ultimately, it is a fair trade-off. 😎
If you have the time, but you cannot bear to go premium and spend so much on a single card, then playing the special games (e.g. Mystery Envelope, Slot Machine, Scratchcards) may be a thing for you. If you do not have the time (due to work and other responsibilities) but you got all the money to throw at Totem, then the option to buy Joker cards should be provided.

If reacting to reports of the problem and releasing the fix for it just one hour after the first report amounts to disdain then you obviously have a different understanding of that word than I do.

And here I thought that was the "Priority response from the Customer Service" which Totem charges extra for. Silly me.
