So did you get a BoC?
If so, what level(s)
So far I got the Level 2
This is my shortest question ever
Meh, Got one at lvl 2. was hoping to get a higher lvl one, but don't have time to stay up all night. Leaving early tomorrow morning for an 11 hour drive to CO and I gotta be able to take the first driving shift :P
Goodnight, Woot. And hopefully you will sort out your bags of crap soon enough that people can play the game on April 1st.
This game sucks...
Made it to level 5 multiple times....still waiting for a BOC option...where is it WOOT?
I got one before I even knew there was a game. My email receipt is time stamped 10:01pm (west coast). I usually can't even get the regular woot page to load that quickly! After i made my purchase I got the game. Woohoo BOC #6!
I got a level 1 bag of crap from the get go.
just got a level 3 bag of crap.
so apparently you can buy multiple bags this time around...
Well that sucked, I kept playing past the level 3 needed to get the BOC (died right before end of level 4), got the button to buy my level 3 BOC, went to the purchase page, everything is correct, press the gold button, now it says no more ... gotta get past the next level. I dont have the time for this. what a lousy deal.
I lack the patience to surpass Level 4 this late at night, even though I'd relish a Box of Culture.
Alright.. i woke up and decided to try again. THIS TIME IT WORKED. But guess what? "You have won the right to buy a bag of crap" I click the link, guess what? SOLD OUT. WTF!!!! Are you KIDDING ME??? I went past level 4 all the way to level 6 AND I STILL CANT GET ONE!? I should have stayed asleep XD DAMN. okay, grats woot, you have defeated me :.(
Yeah I give up too now, for real this time. I'm also boycotting Woot for at least a week. Later bitches.
what a big bucket of corn-encrusted faecal matter, impossible game and lousy random number generator for the obstacles. Screw this i'm never going on woot on April 1st ever again.
My thoughts on this event: http://onekoreanguy.com/woot-bag-of-crap-game/
I give up. I can't beat the game. It would've been awesome if I didn't get double-teamed at some point and lose that way every time. =(
Got to level 4 when it said I only needed to get to 3. No option to buy. I played for 3 1/2 hours with every one ending in impossible to pass in both lanes. Now it's up to level 5 - you broke me - time for bed !!!
I had all the previously mentioned problems until about 2 am, gave up, came back at 3 and everything worked slick. Won my second try on level 4, got my crap on order. I think it's a sweet idea, but the server failures were definitely frustrating for a while. If you really care about getting some crap, don't give up and you'll get there.
Hint: if you don't care about your score (and I don't think there's any reason to), just concentrate on dodging obstacles. It's more fun to shoot crap, though, if you ask me
Got to Level 8. Got the Level 6 Bag -- took me ~4 hours... :(
I got to level 4 then I got kicked back to level 1. Now I have to go to work, no crap today.
I'm not sure which is the bigger troll: Making multiple attempts to make it to Level 6 (and dying from a cheap death each time because you can't dodge what's in either lane), or not getting an option to buy after I finally was able to pass Level 6 and then dying.
Thanks a lot, Woot; you sent me a few cards in the mail and a note asking why I don't buy from you more often, and then you pull a stunt like this. The hour I spent playing was worth more than any "deal" I'll probably ever find on here again.
I made it to level 5, but died on that leve.... didn't have enough time to try again.
Make the BOC based on customer loyalty... for every woot purchase, you get one point. Then you could have so many BOC at 1 point, so many at 10 points, etc.
Woot! you have aggravated me one time too many - it will be many moons before I return to your site! I'm outta here!
Ugh, I FINALLY got it on level 7. Now to get that music out of my head!!! #cannotunhear
So I woke up and even though I couldn't beat level 3 yesterday, I figured I'd give it another try. The FIRST OBSTACLE was an impossible one. Ughhhhhhhhh, I'll just have to settle for my Level 2 bag it seems...
I'd much rather get an email about BsofC than free shirts, this is retarded. Weak sauce.
At least I know why my orders get delayed sometimes. The snail delivering my packages ran into an overturned salt truck. I now know the truth behind Woot deliveries
I was able to get by the game somehow and score a bag at level 3. No dice anymore =(
@hjander: Only one BOC per user evidently...
I've posted a video tutorial of how to beat the game. You're welcome.
@dangela424: Whoa, THANKS! FINALLY GOT MY BOC AFTER ALL THOSE FAILURES!
I got my first BOC! Yay.
Popped my cherry with this one!
@abramokids: I think it's a slug
@dangela424: lol I can't believe I clicked on that
Story of my life:
Haha... totally late with this one, but i think the way to prevent two lanes being occupied was to switch lanes right as ya saw a non moving obstacle. I'm pretty sure the moving obstacles would always occupy the opposite lane you were in. So if ya waited too long to switch lanes when you knew you were about to hit a tipped over truck of salt...
@jackapotamus: Yeah, that's the method I used when I finally made it to level 6 / 7 at 3am last night. Unfortunately that was also when I got the 'SOLD OUT' message after I clicking the link that said I had the right to buy a boc. Should have just died immediately after level 4.
i should get something for the effort. i tried like 10+ times and couldn't get to whatever level it rose to. stupid games. stupid work. stupid woot. stupid april fools! i hate you all!!!!!
After admitting defeat last night, I took a couple of minutes to get some stuff ready for work and decided to give it one last shot before going to bed.
The game was working again!?!?
So, of course, I spent another hour playing the freaking game. But the good news is that I finally got through. I got a Level 3 BOC on both my and my wife's accounts.
I tried to win another BOC for a different stage because someone here said they were able to do that in the early levels, but woot seems to have closed that loophole during the (seemingly) HOURS they were off line.
@jackapotamus: I suspected that, as well. But it's not always the case.
I could be wrong, but I think the moving objects seem to be more "forgiving" than stationary objects when you barely have enough time to slide between two when they're occupying both lanes.
@pyraknight: 10 times? Stop whining, you pansy. I tried from 1AM (EST) until 4AM. Of course, the game was completely unplayable much of that time.
@iggz: Nope, it's a snail:
"You’ll assume the role of a trusty freight snail and deliver Bags O’ Crap to everyone who wants one, until you die. Weep not for the snails. They’re bred to deliver crap"
That's why it's called Snail Mail
@abramokids: I don't care, still looks like a slug

It's a slug
I would rather have my disappointment happen in the usual 10 minutes it takes for a BOC to slip through my fingers. This was brutal.
9:59pm (PST) Ready for anything with wooters.us and Wootalyzer
10:00-10:30 Try to figure out how to get the BOC and play the game (when it worked)
10:30-12:30 Play game when possible looking for a possible trick in case Woot is being sneaky
12:30-2:10 BOC sales are moving but I can no longer get past level 3 then level 4. I realize the time and start worrying about work. "Could I just not go to sleep? Nevermind, bad idea."
4:00am Alarm goes off and I immediately snooze it.
4:15,4:30,4:45 Snooze, snooze, snooze
5:00 I finally get up and get in the shower
5:30 All ready and dressed. "I'll just check what level the BOC is at."
5:30-6:45 Trying the game again, and again, and again, then finally lose all hope and go to work an hour and a half late with only 3 hours sleep. It's pouring rain all day as I'm working.
Sucky day. At least it's Friday.
No bag. Server fails. Over and over. Two thumbs down for this joke.
Lvl 10 BOC here. IN for one. :D
No BOC. Game was cute, but I wish you didn't have to waste time playing it in order to give woot money. How is that a sound business model??
@texaskitty2: Usually they sell a few thousand BOCs in a few seconds.
Many Wooters complain that too many of those BOCs go to 'bots instead of real, normal customers like you and me.
Every April Fools Day, Woot does something different, and tricky, to slow down the pace at which BOCs are sold to give different folks a chance to get one.
The fact that - at random - impossible roadblocks would come along was very frustrating, but it worked.... I actually got a BOC, and BOCs were still available nearly 11 hours after first appearing.
As for the business model, I'd have to say that Woot seems to be doing something very right.
I got all but a level 3. I didn't even play the game either.
Haxors FTW!
@dangela424: lol, you got me and the game isn't even up anymore...impressive :D
When I got to the link, I thought it was weird you had commercials heh..
Got one, level 1!
