Possible reasons:
You did not add app role to this farm.
No app instances started yet.`

WHAT is this. I always get that when I click on the redeem image.
 
Don't get how anyone got anything when it took 20 minutes to load. What a joke. Not going to even bother for tomorrow's "general redemption"
 
I would have been fine if it had actually registered and redirected me to the correct URL but it didn't until the very end. They should just let us redeem our points whenever the fuck we want.

Did anyone see their facebook with them saying "Wave 3 better fucking go up" right before it said "Wave 3 is up!"?

That was odd.

I didn't see this and I was on FB the entire time. Did anyone else see it?


Edit: A new tab loaded and now it says I'm not in this wave. Fuck you, lockerz.
 
The fuck, same thing here, first there was everything, clicked left 4 dead 2, had to wait very long, clicked redeem button, that app instance error, again that error, product is out of stock, back to electronics, EVERYTHING GONE. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.
 
I find it amusing that these buy in waves - which were supposed to lower the number of people participating - had more website stability issues than the past 2 general redemptions.

Yep, I clicked redeem on MAG only to be greeted by app instance error screen... got back in and everything's fucking gone.
 
I find it amusing their FB thread that was full of lockerz hate that they put up when wave 3 "went live" is now down. http://bit.ly/dhgEwj :lol

They aren't saying the time for general redemption tomorrow, what a waste of time this site is.
 
So awesome.:lol

One hour waiting for the third wave in front of the computer, watching Opera reloading every 5 seconds. "Can't wait to get that awesome Ipod Touch 8GB", thought to myself.

Time went by, was chilling, listening to the beautifully orchestrated SMG soundtrack, and then login boxes appear. "It's time to claim what's mine, bitches".

Logged in; and after a while it loaded and saw that there were no more 8GB Touch; Sadness overtook me. "Looks like I'll have to settle for the second best thing: the PSP/Rachet bundle". Clicked on it; page didn't load. Clicked again and "OH HAI THERES NO MORE OF THIS FOR YOU".

Okay, most of the stuff was already gone and only a couple of DS games remained. Didn't want get a game but I had to get something, anything. My dedication had to be rewarded. Clicked on NSMB in a desperate move. The page started to load and then suddenly stopped. Forms didn't load so I couldn't put my data in it. Refreshed, and it came back... with a "Fresh out" stamp.

I gave them 100ptz so I could be raped.

So I see a lot of people got suckered into redemption "reservation" scam.
:lol :lol :lol

I would be mad that I lost 100 points but then I realized there's no way I could use them for anything in the first place :lol
 
I still don't understand why they need us to type our personal info when it's already filled out in our account settings. A simple "Review shipping info" button would suffice. By the time I finish typing everything all the prizes will be gone. :lol
 
:lol :lol :lol ok i think i will put my 370 PTZ on ebay and at least gain some 20€ before they raise the PTZs.

Always the same. and i really thought that i could invest 100PTZ to get the PSP.
 
Just woke up, let's see what went down on wave day :lol

1. Okay, Lockerz deleted their Facebook page, that's not a good sign. :lol

2. *Looked back through pages* I see, so basically

10-20 seconds for big prizes. half a minute to 45 seconds for good prizes. Everything else lasts about 3-5 minutes.

Don't waste your ptz on chances.

You all never heeded my warning...those numbers were being nice too. :(

Totally worth it IMO. Better than trying for the general redemption.

Optimism is somewhat good sometimes :(

Sorry guys, good luck to everyone on the General Redemption if you're around for it.
 
Oh, and don't think that this server problem is a coincidence.

THEY knew how many people bought chances, and of each one. They didn't tell any of their members, they left them in the dark on purpose...not something to do when it directly affects them.

Soon after the chances, they "launched" Play after seeing that their servers are probably going to be shit, to rekindle people's hope (I see you enzo :D), they gave everyone a free 40something-90something ptz. This made everyone excited.

Then, everything goes to hell, facebook page is deleted, and they got 100-350 PTZ from a large percentage of their members, and in quite a few months ptz will start expiring for early users. :lol

Cycle repeats itself.

Well I'm pretty sure Lockerz launched in August, and the majority of people joined in october.

If they don't have the site up and running by october, then.. well.. yeah

They started in May.
 
Lmao. What if this was some crazy illegal practical joke or something?

Like a bunch of programmers who seem to "care about our opinions on pop culture" and what not. They just post a bunch of shit up there and actually have like 100 of the said things and close them as soon as all 100 of the items are clicked on.

And that 100 stuff would span across all categories. What if they did all this bullshit for extreme lulz?

I'll see what happens tomorrow. I'll probably just login and see how many things are gone =P

Lulz, and money =$

You'll never get the chance to login... They aren't letting the times be known so you'll have to get lucky unless you're at the pc all day :lol
 
What does Lockerz gain from people logging-on and answering daily questions?

Do they believe the answers are valuable market research?

Who the hell knows? But they do like money...however the hell they're getting it :/
 
I read an artice a month ago and it pointed out that they sometimes have "subtle" brands in the dailies. Like "which you like more ,coffee or tea" and it shows a glass of tea and a Starbucks cup.

I don't know if this is the case but some good amount of dailies where excatly like that. Also selling the answears is probably their main money source imo.

I'm sure 90% of that is just people typing in shit. I don't answer anything seriously.
 
You know what I think the best part is?

Lockerz has since posted updates on their site, they even posted their dailies video. Continuing as usual, like nothing bad has happened, like they haven't deleted all of their facebook page data and the redemption wasn't terrible, no explanation, like all of this is perfectly fine.

Hahahaha...
 
This Play is bull shit. Watched 4 videos and only got ptz for two. And of course I can't rewatch them since it's marked as viewed.
 
So the general consensus is "You Only Get One Click. Make sure whatever you Click on is what you REALLY want."

I'm glad I skipped out on this one :lol
 
After lastnights shitty redemption I was going to jack in Lockerz then this morning this turns up! Lol

I made the Z-list in October and it turns up in Feb... Ha!

I think I may keep building my PTZ and see what happens when the "Shop" opens.

That was odd.
I think that was on their twitter, not facebook.
 
They need a better redemption process. If you've won something in the past 3 months you shouldn't be able to redeem. Would lighten the server load giving more people a chance at getting a prize. I see the same people over and over getting prizes.

Also could just make everything random. Let us choose the prize we want and have a draw every month for redemption. Again, if you've won in the past 3 months you aren't in the draw. If they really do have hundreds of thousands of prizes every month, it would make a hell of a lot more people happy by cutting out those that recently won something and focusing on the userbase that haven't gotten anything.

There are many better ways to go about doing this. But they won't change it. And they don't have hundreds of thousands of prizes. This is a huge scam right now. It's trickery 101. But it's free so people will stick around (me included) and continue to take it up the ass from these rapists.
 
My classes were canceled due to snow, so I'm actually able to sit here half the day and try to redeem stuff.

I've never actually tried before. Anyone have any tips? I know we only have like 1 minute to get something. What actually happens? Should I just refresh the site randomly? Do I have to fill out my address if I get something?
 
Happy Friday: The General Redemption is today! We'll have more news and the rules posted today.
While we're happy to hear that many members redeemed successfully in Wave 1 and 2 last night, we're not so happy to hear widespread reports that some members had trouble getting into Wave 3. This was due a serious amount of attempted cheating bots that we battled and terminated. These bots were enabled because the times of the waves were leaked. We're investigating this further, and we hear and understand the concerns of members who played fair. We'll keep you updated!
So some people used bots in the 3rd wave hmmm!!! What yall think
