Star Boxes

I just realised I have a box of 100 drab stars, listed below all my other stars. Who else has these boxes? Are they all 100? Does anyone have boxes of other colours?

I'm waiting for an opportunity to actually use this many stars for something..

On another note, I still haven't won a single pink star and, given the lack of options in autotournaments at the moment, I can't enter any. Great system right there.

I have a box of 1-50 auburn stars. I assume at some point I'll get to open it and find out how many are in it. Not that it matters, as you pointed out...

I have 1 box of 20 drab stars.

Looks like the available boxes have been added to the inventory information page: http://www.conquerclub.com/public.php?mode=instructions7
You can open it by clicking the green arrow thingy in the upper right corner. EDIT: Okay.. I guess that functionality isn't working yet? I can't get mine to open lol.

Based on the list of available boxes - I think yours might be a random box of 1-100 caff?

Yeah it's 1-100, I overlooked that. Although, given that there are 1-50 boxes it would be frustrating if I got less than 50+ but I don't know yet because I can't open it either.

Still waiting for a pink star!

The reason given for getting my box was winning a game.

I know Dukasaur kept saying there will be more possibilities to use stars but we haven't seen them yet. Autotournaments are dying now because - at least when I last looked - the majority needed a pink star to enter, and the two that didn't we're both on one map.

Hadn't tried in a couple days, but I was able to open my box of 20 drab stars this morning.

I've got a pink star, and I've no need for it, so I'll trade you $5 for it. Oh wait...

I just opened mine and got 100. I now have approximately 450 stars that are pretty much useless.

It's still in early stages, while the rollout may have been able to be done better, keep in mind part of owning something new is a bit of a learning curve. There are stages and end goals etc that have yet to be realized.

Things will continue to develop but everything takes time.

People complained that they didn't have enough stars to enter auto tournaments when it was first rolled out, and now complaining that they have too many stars with no uses :)

Bottom line is no matter what is done, someone will always complain ;)

I'd still like to convert my stars to saxbucks, since I am unsure of the currency protections offered by conquer stars.

I think they're still complaining about not having enough stars to enter tournaments since they now need pink stars and there are just not many of those around. They seem to be saying that they have a ton of stars but nothing that can be purchased and the only thing able to be purchased they don't have the means to purchase.

Granted that it is not possible to please everyone it would make sense to have a mix of tournaments that can be entered with the lower level stars... at least until other uses for those stars become available.

That's my complaint! Love the auto-tourneys, don't mind the entrance "fee", but wish they were more reflective of the stars available. As of right now, there are 4 auto-tourney's up. I can't join 3 because of the lack of a pink star and the one I can buy into has a score restriction.

Regardless, I'm unsure what my 43 Auburn stars will ever amount to!

Understood. I have a pink star I'll sell :p
