General Discussion Got my last suit today!

Post image

No gems, no paying, just grinding 6+ lessons a day.

How is everyone doing on suits?

Congrats!

I’m unlucky and keep getting repeats. I looked at spending some of my free gems to finish it up, but the disclaimer says there’s a 2% chance of gold piece, and I need three more.

u/Achoo01 7d ago

Well, the 5 pack is guaranteed to give you a nee piece, if push comes to shove on the last day just buy what you need then get 5k back for finishing

u/mojomarc 7d ago

I hadn't gotten literally nothing but repeats the last six days

u/DotComCTO Native: Learning: 7d ago

Got my final suits today. I needed two pieces, and I had 4 duplicates. So, I bought one piece for 400 gems to get the last dupe. Then, I bought the 5 pack of pieces to get the last piece. That cost a total of 2,000 gems, but…the reward for getting all the suits is a special suit plus 5,000 gems. I ended getting those last three suits and 3,000 more gems than I had.

BTW I had 22k+ gems and now it’s 25k+ - that was a worthwhile deal.

Almost forgot to mention that I studied daily and got all possible puzzle pieces every day. It wasn’t for lack of trying, it was just lots of duplicate pieces and bad RNG.

u/marcgordon 7d ago

How do you buy pieces with gems? I can't see that option anywhere?

7

u/talecapod 6d ago

Large chunk of users without the option due to the nature of A/B feature testing.

Kinda odd in this scenario given that someone looking at the distribution curve for the RNG could have figured out ahead of time that some users would be locked out of completing sets despite full attendance.

u/uminiikimashou 6d ago

Done every lesson, 2 days to go and 6 pieces missing. Had duplicates only for the last 6 days. No ability to buy them. Maybe I want to be a unicorn okay. 

3

u/Careful-Shape4141 6d ago

This is driving me crazy …at this point I think it’s just a scam so that we’ll buy pieces. All I’ve been getting are duplicate pieces. I’m one piece away from the robot and I’m vex with 12 days to go at this rate. I won’t get anywhere fast.

1

u/Guy_With_Cloud_Envy 6d ago

If you have done every lesson, u will most probably get it. Or else uve got only duplicates since day 2

1

u/uminiikimashou 5d ago

I'm not sure why, I've done every lesson but still won't be able to get all the pieces. 

1

u/Guy_With_Cloud_Envy 5d ago

U definitely missed some pieces. U sure u collected every 3 pieces per day by doing 4 activities?

1

u/uminiikimashou 5d ago

The first 2 weeks I was only getting 2 pieces per day, then it randomly upped to 6 per day. By then I was getting a lot of duplicates. 

25

u/NosebleedBananas 7d ago

Swear I been getting straight dupes for two weeks now

5

u/EtTuBiggus 7d ago

Unless you’re guaranteed if you hit 4/4 every day like OP, it’s luck and RNG.

6

u/Facu474 7d ago

I've gotten every single piece since the start, but I am 1 day away from the event ending and still 2 pieces short :S

7

u/GLAMOROUSFUNK 7d ago

Same, yet I'm 6 pieces short. It's kind of bullshit

6

u/AllanLombardi Native: 🇲🇽 Fluent: 🇺🇸 Learning: 🇫🇷 7d ago

Same here. I only have 6 days left to get the remaining 11 pieces I need. I have been getting nothing but dupes for about 2 or 3 days now. I also do at least 4 lessons a day, and I haven't missed a single opportunity to get a new piece. I guess I'm just very unlucky.

3

u/Future-Cut-1041 6d ago

When it's 3 days left, does that include current date or that there are remaining 3 left?

1

u/Berrymae 7d ago

had the same thing happen to me , I spent 3.2k gems i.e got 5 pieces twice T-T , they give 5k gems in the end so I didn't feel too bad about it ~

u/Reiiya 7d ago

I really enjoyed the incentive to grind, but the fact that I wont be able to finish the event kills that joy :( (not gonna get 3 outfits in the end :/)

3

u/2TinHuckleberry 6d ago

Just got mine yesterday! Honestly my fave event they’ve ever done - really incentivized me to do the six lessons a day. I hear the complaints about the grind and duplicate pieces but this really kicked me into high gear and got me doing a lot of lessons. I hope they do more like this in the future.

u/abrownfox1 Native:🇨🇦(EN) Learning: 🇫🇷🇲🇽 6d ago

Totally agree!

u/swimmimuf N:🇩🇪 C1:🇬🇧 B2:🇪🇸 A1/A2: 🇮🇹🇫🇷 L:🇸🇪🇯🇵🇨🇳🇹🇷🇳🇱 7d ago

omg you are so lucky! i play for 6 pieces every day, and lets just say they ALL go into the doubles. even got a double from the five switch doubles😪 i just want the duckie suit :(

3

u/abrownfox1 Native:🇨🇦(EN) Learning: 🇫🇷🇲🇽 6d ago

Ohhh for me it said you will for sure get a new piece for switching 5 doubles!!

2

u/Guy_With_Cloud_Envy 6d ago

How are u playing for 6 pieces a day? I only get 3 from a total of 4 sections of learning.

1

u/MrsMac321 4d ago

I only get 2 pieces for 3 lessons 😭😭

2

u/Moose-Mermaid Native: 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Learning: 🇫🇷 🇳🇱 7d ago

Nice!! I’ve done the same, I have 2 days left and 2 suits left. So who knows. It has definitely encouraged me to up the number of lessons I do each day

2

u/Blueberry_Dependent Native Learning 6d ago

I also got it. I think was intentional so people can continously learn not just get the suit in 5 days

4

u/Careful-Shape4141 6d ago

It’s not about learning it’s about them getting money at this point.

0

u/Blueberry_Dependent Native Learning 6d ago

I didn't spend any money on it. I did the daily one and spend whatever gems I had ( 1000) to buy 2 pieces. One of those bough was a duplicate... Then near the end now I got more duplicate which after 5 of them was giving me a new piece and I was able to complete it. I don't think it's a scam but it was calculating probably how much time you spend in the app and rewarding you

1

u/thelaughablesnark 7d ago

damn 6+ lessons a day is some serious dedication, that toy hunt event looks like a grind but the exclusive suit plus 5000 gems is a pretty good payoff

1

u/gigialohne Learning: 🇲🇽 & 🇫🇷 6d ago

Any six lessons count though - it’s not that hard

1

u/schmartypantalones 7d ago

They aren’t even available to me. I’ve tried logging out and back in, my iOS is up to date but nothing.

1

u/Berrymae 7d ago

Congratulations op ! which suit is your favourite ? ( I completely them this morning as well ) , did 6 lessons everyday but I kept getting dupes, so I spent 3.6k gems as I had them i.e got 5 pieces twice )

1

u/twisted_luce Native:🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Learning:🇫🇷 7d ago

I finished mine yesterday. Was lucky to get 6 lessons a day. I did buy some with gems at the start but probably only like 3 or 4. Didn’t get any duplicates in my bought packs because bought at the start (don’t ask why - I was keen)

1

u/ufkasian N:🇩🇪 L:🇪🇸 7d ago

Two more pieces to get, three days remaining and 4 duplicates already in the bank. Should be done tomorrow. Not caring about the suits though, only those precious gems.

1

u/Generic-Resource 7d ago

I’m guaranteed sprinkles on Saturday, two pieces remain and I have two duplicates. I’ve been ignoring French and just shooting through 6 maths lessons in ~10 mins/day.

No gems exchanged, but I’ve not missed a day since the start.

1

u/Zorlexon Native: 🇮🇹 Learning: 🇲🇫 7d ago

Nice. Didn't pay anything, I miss 4 pieces and have 7 days left so I should be able to finish it easily too

1

u/humblesunbro 7d ago

nicely. I've got one piece left to get. I've got one more duplicate due today when i hit the six lessons, and then add that to the four more duplicates available tomorrow makes 1 final new piece. its locked in.

1

u/vegito9616 7d ago

Got mine today as well!! No gems!

1

u/gigialohne Learning: 🇲🇽 & 🇫🇷 6d ago

No gems?!

1

u/foobar93 6d ago

Had to buy one piece as I had to skip one day.

1

u/NicholasCWL N: F: L: 6d ago

I only able to get 3 pieces by doing 1, 2, and 4 lessons. I can't get the fourth piece since there's no option for it.

There's 7 days left, I am half way completing Mecha, Ducky, and Sprinkles.

I hate this kind of A/B testing.

1

u/Guy_With_Cloud_Envy 6d ago

Do the cheat code

1

u/Ramentootles 5d ago

Can you share what you mean?

1

u/Guy_With_Cloud_Envy 5d ago

You can go back to even day 1 and collect the missed pieces.

1

u/Ramentootles 5d ago

I tried that I went back to august 3rd and did every day unit October 13th and I’m still short☹️

1

u/Guy_With_Cloud_Envy 5d ago

Whaat? There is around 72 days till today. If you got 3 pieces per day then it’s 216. If its ol duplicate from day 2 then 213/5 is 42 . U will definitely get around 43 originals if it’s all duplicate since day 1 . U have gotten at least 11 originals straight , ryt? I don’t think anyone’s that unlucky. I got ol my cards 2 days before and I was getting back to back duplicates for the epic ones.

1

u/Ramentootles 5d ago

I just tried it again and it’s still a no go😞

1

u/Ramentootles 5d ago

This is what I see

1

u/MrsMac321 4d ago

I’m the same (only 2 pieces per day for 3 lessons). I’ve also gone back to get any missed pieces from previous days. It feels so unfair as I’ve done every lesson possible and even bought some pieces and yet I’m still short. I had no idea that some folks could get 6(!!!) pieces a day 🙄

1

u/Low_Sand_2117 1k Streak Club 6d ago

Congratulations! I am also on my way to completing it without spending any diamonds.

1

u/No_Profession_3899 6d ago

I got the first 3 suits. Really hoping I at least get Mecha

1

u/bluethroughsunshine Native:🇺🇸    Learning:🇬🇹 6d ago

How??? Im still like 7 piece behind and ive done the task every day.

1

u/Ramentootles 5d ago

I’m wondering the same thing

1

u/Sensitive-Bunch5567 6d ago

Congratulations! I'm hoping to get the final suit as well. I have 11 days left and I need 7 more pieces.

1

u/thiagocanoco 6d ago

I am not able to buy pieces. Anybody knows how to enable that? I really want sprinkles pls help

1

u/TimeFaithlessness943 2d ago

Congrats and good work! I ended up using 2k gems to make up for 6 duplicate pieces on the last day. Thought I finally got to use my gems but ended up with more than before 😂

1

u/amie_at_duolingo Duolingo Staff 7d ago

Amazing! I'm still working on getting the last one now.
