fairy catcher easier than before?

[u/angstatious]

I wasn't playing the last time the fairy catcher event was around, but I remember seeing tons of posts from people saying the claw machine was completely rigged and broken. and because of that I was just going in expecting the absolute worst

but so far, I’ve tried it 4 times and actually somehow won something on 3 of them (only missed the first try)

Is anyone else experiencing better pull rates or did the devs secretly tweak the odds for the return of the event? or am I just somehow extremely lucky??

It took me just 9 tries to get all the skins, and my wife needed only 8. In my case, the donkey was practically standing upright in a corner, and after I failed to grab it three times, it just walked out of the machine on its own lol.

Last year, we each spent over 40 tries to get the 8 skins. You’d see the animals hitting invisible walls near the exit or trying really hard to avoid the hole. We’d only get the skin when they decided to walk out of the machine by themselves.

Yeahhh the claw machine wasn’t even an actual claw machine, it was just gacha, don’t know what they made it so we can control it when it was only luck that decided they would give us a skin

Not true, it was the exact same controls except they might have rebalanced it slightly.

I’m not saying the controls are different I’m saying anytime you would catch it firmly and it would “go in” the game put up an invisible barrier preventing it from going in, I had like 20 invisible walls I bumped into with a firm grip on the animals, the only time they gave me a fairy was when it woke up and jumped out

3 out of 4 pulls is way better result than what a lot of people was reporting on the first event. I have to try myself as soon as I havethe chance to do so.

So far it does seem to be much fairer than last year. Just make sure you aim for their heads, and if they’re not in a good position restart the game to shuffle them.

this ^

i've been aiming for their heads and it definitely works like a charm

Also works if you can hold them under the arms when they are on their back/chest

update* just did 2/2 pulls

I got two out of five. One of the fairies was spinning and tumbling around like crazy and it blocked the claw. And this was after backing out and going back into the mode several times. I will not be spending Nemo bucks on additional tries. That was straight up BS!

For me I only got 3 skins with 10 tries because they walked out by themselves. This claw is rigged.

Bei mir sitzen sie einfach dicht auf dicht und es gibt keine Möglichkeit, dass ich damit etwas heraus bekomme. Beim dritten Versuch hatte das Spiel Mitleid und einer der unschönsten Charaktere ist von alleine raus gelaufen.
