Just throwing it out there. I spent 100 CP to bring my final Legendary Token count to 9.
I redeemed them all.
Of those 9, 4 of them were Thing. One yellow and three green. (I had already had 4, so two are wasted).
The odds of pulling that many for the same character should not be 44.4%. Not when there are currently 20 four stars (not including X-23 who shouldn’t be in the packs yet), and 2 five stars. By my count, that’s 66 total color abilities represented.
I submitted a ticket extolling the improbabilities of this happening. I have my fingers crossed, by I’m expecting it to be met with the usual shrug from support staff.
But given that my alliance put real money into CP purchases, I may as well have thrown that money out the window.
Improbable doesn’t mean impossible. Its very possible for what happened to you to happen. Ironically many people would be ecstatic about having all their covers concentrated like that instead of spread uselessly around. That’s what random is.
While I sympathize and frequently feel that way myself (I seem to pull only XFW & IW from Legendary tokens), I don’t think that the devs would spend the time to do anything other than the most basic level programming for token draws.
Google “availability heuristic” and you’ll get the most likely explanation for any statistical abnormalities you seem to be experiencing.
From an individual user viewpoint, improbable that it would happen to you. From an overall viewpoint, just as likely to happen to you as it is to anyone else.
Completely agree. This goes on every single day. Eg, 3 in our alliance open legendaries, and all get IW green. A couple days later, 3 more open one, and they all get MrF blue. There just aren’t enough of us playing to keep generating all of these “1 in thousands” outcomes so regularly.
would u send a ticket if you got all covers u needed (say JG, HB, IM) and just enough to make them 5 covers and none wasted? RNGesus is fickle. u need to play the cards u r dealt.
I think everyone will admit the RNG seems to come in waves of the same covers. I spent forever trying to get 4hor blue covers. Finally get my 5th about a month ago. Since then have pulled 5 blue 4hors (3 from legendary tokens).
That being said. If instead of thing covers you got Silver Surfer covers, I doubt the op would be complaining. So not sure any compensation is due.
Thousands of players have thousands of uneventful RNG events. It’s the one miraculous one that makes a thread about it. So by reading the forums, it looks like a higher than normal percentage have extraordinary things happen, when in reality, it’s only that a higher than normal percentage get posted.
No one posts threads that say, “Three tiles dropped from the ceiling and didn’t match or cause a cascade. They just sat there and the turn ended.”
I just pulled my 6th
SIXTH! I’ve pulled her more than any other single character and I don’t need her anymore now than I did when she dropped the first time
Wow! Just wow! Now I’ve heard it all. You pulled 7/9 useful legendary and still complain! Not only complain, you put in a ticket saying those aren’t good enough odds!?!
No, I put in a ticket because I thought the odds were off. Yes, the odds of getting any one cover are identical to getting any other cover. But I keep hearing things from alliance members. I keep hearing that sometimes the random number generator doesn’t seem so random.
I have all four stars and one cover on one five star. The odds were tremendously in my favor to get many covers that I needed. I had a 68/69 chance of success! Yet, 4/9 covers were for one character, three of which were identical pulls. This is why I was concerned. This was I submitted a ticket.
I was subsequently patted on the head and told this was normal and that others would “kill for that many of one cover.” This is a direct quote from customer service. This was after I was told that if I wanted a higher draw rate on covers, I should pay attention to the draw rates and only buy from events for characters I am specifically looking for.
This leads me to believe that customer service didn’t even read my message, as my concern was with Legendary pull rates.
Forgive me if I keep plugging my thread but it already has 57 upvotes and several pages of comments, so I think it’s important to keep it visible and growing. LTs NEED to change and we need to make sure the devs see this is a concern of a significant part of the playerbase.
