Legend Emperor chest

[NikKotovski]

So many implications. So rude. Usually that means that there is nothing to say.

I, on the other hand, have a lot to say, but I will let other people speak for me:

@KrazyKruber

What that “50% chance” means is that over a VERY LARGE amount flips, you have a high probability of seeing about half of those flips turn up heads and about half turn up tails, but it isn’t guaranteed to turn out that way. If you have a million people each flip a coin 100 times, it is a statistical certainty that a few will get all tails, and a few will get all heads, while the rest will get closer to 50/50.

It is important to understand here that even if the chance of getting a red from a chest was 50%, among a million players you would still have a few that never open a red, while a few others would open a red every chest.

@SolarReaper

ts just the nature of RNG without any kind of safety mechanisms. If the drop rate for reds is something like 1% and someone gets lucky and pulls one out of crate #1 and then another from #4 then by the very nature of statistics someone is bound to be on the other side of the bell curve and will need 200 crates to get a single item.

Some people are bound to face bad luck, and lots come here to share it:

4 trinkets, 4 charms, 3 trinkets.

My 12th red the other day was finally a weapon.

@Morbidmind

Agreed with the droprates being ridiculous. I’ve just finished grinding my last character to 30, I’ve opened 100+ legend/champ chests plus my commendation chests (all on my 30+40 IB), and I’ve gotten zero cosmetics and 2 reds, both necklaces. Meanwhile my friend who I’ve been carrying in legend opens three vaults today and gets a red trinket, charm, and spear. I’m so salt I came to the forums.

@danciccoalex

That makes me sad, Ive gotten 1 red in 197h too. I mean if there would be a progression bar - win 10, 20, frikkin 100 legend games and you get 1 red item it would be already better than the current state.

@Revy

Close to 100 now without a single red drop vs one every 10 or so boxes from 1.0.5

Losing patience.

So while I do not agree, that farming reds should take 5k hours, that doesn’t matter actually. The biggest flaw of this system, that some players will waste thousands of hours just getting weapons they need. Not a full set, just one of their favorite swords or something. Because this sword might drop 1st try, but on the other hand it is not guaranteed to drop even after 100th roll. And that’s awful.
