(Jaso) #1

No, this is the new theme for the event.

Just another free part of the event that’s worse than in previous events :slight_smile:

The other option being a 1% drop case and a warehouse full of leads.
Dunno, statistically, I think you gain more in this event in terms of special cases. You just don’t get all the other goodies :confused:

Special loadouts - 1% current vs 0.3% previous - I did some napkin math and they’re pretty much the same. But everything else is worse. 3,5x less chances for other rarities. No chance for a special loadout from a standard post-game drop.

1% 350 cycle case is designed to appear good while actually being worse :frowning:

Boosters are nice though.

[quote=“Sploosh;166328”]Yeah, this event is awful.

I thought they were gonna listen, but guess not. I really wanted to spend money on some things like the Aimee Obsidian and stuff, but I don’t know if I will anymore after what they’ve done to the event. They didn’t listen to the community’s opinion really. Sure, the event’s a bit different and the drop rates higher per case, but each case costs more and you don’t get any after matches?

This is obviously a much worse event. I feel like they don’t understand that just because you increase the percentage doesn’t mean you need to increase the price. It’s like they’re trying to balance card drops. [/quote]

You have a much higher chance at getting a loadout and merc you want, since each case only contains 4 mercs, instead of 21.

So if you want a Sparks loadout, you wait until Sparks is in rotation, and you go for her stuff. 1/4th of a chance to get Sparks, instead of 1/21.

Realized that after I posted. >.> To be honest, I think I was just a bit confused with how everything works. But I get it now, so I’ve changed my original post. It sounded butthurt. xD

Well you didnt mention that you have to fish out that one loadout for sparks which would turn the actual chance to get a usable loadout down to 1/36.

And in previous events it would be 1/180 instead of 1/36 so this event still makes it over 5 times more likely to get the card you want.[/left]

@RazielWarmonic So what are the odds of getting two of the exact same loadout cards back to back twice in 4 guaranteed cases?

How I wish I could trade these in :frowning:

Soooo… Did you buy event cases, or do you hack?

Edit: Sorry, never mind, didn’t see the top text.

(Twoiko) #14

To get the same card back to back:

(1/4 * 1/9)^2 = 1/1296

To get doubles twice in a row it would be:

2 * 1/1296 = 1/2592

Assuming you actually even get a drop. :wink:

How nice, paying theoreticly only 4.500.000 credits for your desired loadout, i must go for it right now!

less than 1/21 chance to get a event case in a match anyway (even with full stacked boosters)
