Heroic Packs: 4-Star Odds Increase

MPQ fans,

Here’s word from Anthony at Demiurge on new pack odds for 4-Star characters:

  • "In Season XXX we will be adding Peggy Carter (Captain America) to cover packs.

    In addition, we will be increasing the 4-Star odds (30% more than before) in Heroic cover packs. We will be decreasing the 2-Star odds (2% less than before) to compensate for this change."

Thanks!

To clarify, is this change affecting:

  1. single tokens, 10 packs, and 40 packs?
  2. just 10 and 40 packs?

30% increase!

Before change .18 rounded to .2, after change .23 rounded to .2.
Nice way to spin a negligible change

This should be live now. You can tap the in-game info icon for pack odds.
(Sorry, I actually don’t have a device to verify for myself at the moment.)

Indeedy.
That old issue of confusing 30% with thirty percentage points.

C’mon, you really don’t have your phone at your desk somewhere despite it being company policy to not have it? Do what we do and take a quick bathroom break icon_e_wink.gif

So should be 4.6% total up to 5.98%.

Seems like demi is comfortable with odds that round to 0.2% per 4*, but not with odds that round to 0.1%

Great stuff!

Now can we also get an increase in the two-star drop rates for Standard tokens?
My two-star champions will be ever grateful.

Wow and I still drew a Moonstone. Imagine that.

    How dare you. Peggy is a lady. Just what are you insinuating?!

Can’t knock an improvement, even if it only works out pretty minor overall icon_e_smile.gif

I would like to second a boost to 2*s in standard tokens though :stuck_out_tongue:

It’s way overdue to take Mr & Mrs Fantastic and Mr Totally Awesome out of token rotations, so that

“they can be worked on out of the spotlight”

Thank you for the increase!!

Ooh. I got two Invisible woman covers, to sell from my heroic tokens.
On another note, I did use up my 800+ saved up champion points and I got two more Peggy Carter covers. I also got a red OML, so my streak of not getting another OML cover ended at slightly over 400 packs opened. OML now 4/1/2. Sadly, I also got two more 5 star Jean greys covers to sell, because no purple. icon_e_sad.gif
SMH.

that is terrible! maybe save, 14 days to pull the JG pink!

I forgot my iPad yesterday. Felt naked without it. I had my phone, but hadn’t logged into MPQ on it in months and it was asking for Facebook info. Didn’t want to risk the tiny chance of something going wacky with my account. icon_redface.gif

Wait…is this true?

Mannnnnnnn.

They’re just trying to help people learn the difference between percent and percentage points.

My math may be off here, but doesn’t this mean that Heroic tokens now have a higher chance to get a 4* than new release event tokens? Seems like it’s now somewhat better to place in the 300 - 400 range for those sub-events…
