Correct me if I’m wrong, but weren’t Heroics supposed to get a 4* rate boost with this update? Can’t remember exactly where I heard it, but maybe the last video update?
Or is it just because anniversary week hasn’t started yet? Maybe I’m crazy, or just crazy hopeful.
They did get boosted. By about 50% relative to what they were. But these changes are just barely keeping up with the 4* introduction rate. They are mostly just keeping the chance of pulling any given 4* at about .5%, even as the total number of 4*s increases.
You sure? Pretty sure they were already 0.3% each. Or is it just that there’s more of them now? Which would be…a disappointing way to increase the odds.
Yeah, the odds pool is more “4s = X%, 3=Y%, 2*=Z%” and they just divide that pool by the # of characters in that tier.
I remember back before the current 4* flood, and during the last 3* flood, when the only 4s were Wolverine, Invisible Woman, and Nick Fury, that the odds of pulling a XForce Wolverine were actually greater then the odds of pulling a Hood, or any other specific 3.
Anniversary hasn’t started yet, even if you have the R85 update early (ios users).
The last update to rates was with 4* going from 0.2% to 0.3%, which in addition to adding new 4*, is in fact an increase.
If there is to be another one (which even just introducing Creepsicle to the packs will do), it might be a daily push once the anniversary stuff goes live.
Adding Iceman to the Heroics won’t increase the odds of getting a 4*. It’ll just make it slightly harder to get one specific 4*, as they all draw from the same rough % pool.
As mentioned: It used to be easier to draw X-force Wolverine then Wolverine (Patch) because there were so few 4s and so many 3s, and they drew from the same
Rarity pool.
