Unusually high drop rate from the new pack

When i first checked the drop chances for the things on the net i first thought how bad, like all other packs, not much will drop.

BUT.

They drop unusually good, i mean not the new rare things, the standard old things.
Best Luck, DoD and Cupe Stamps often.
Warsong marshal badges and Sky covers also some.

I mean the relation of the amount of drops for the amount of packs opened is much higher for many people than at any other packs or what should normaly happen.

They changed the drop rates? Those shown on the net is wrong? Is something wrong with the packs?

What you see on the different servers?

    Drop rates on packs have always sucked. This pack is even worse. I let others open the packs and buy the goods.

    Thanks,
    At least not the usual flaming against pack openers.

    But hope for statements from the people that often open packs to compare their results to past experiences and share their results.

    Better or like always or even worse

    You could just look at the drop table.

    i think that his point is that he has the feeling that the packs have better drop rates than the ones stated in the page

    Thanks.

    But see above, i checked the rates before , and when i saw this its like the usual packs when it comes to drops.

    Thats why the expectations were low.

    But the ingame experience is another and not only for me.

    Hope for more input, data how regular pack openers experience it ingame and how the amount of drops is for them compared to other packs. (example: amount of best luck tokens per 100 pack)

    Better, as usual, or worse

    This pack is 6% to get a goody, others are at 2%~5% usually i think. Could be wrong, haven't dealt in packs over the past year. Too much trouble.

    I have opened 550 snake packs.

    So far (from what I remember) I have won:

    1 Scroll of Tome

    2 Diamond of Dragon

    1 Stone of the Savant

    1 Lunar Glade Winged Trophy

    4 Handsome Prince Fashion Set

    7 Fashion Weapon Tickets

    14 Best Luck Tokens

    5 Platinum HP Charms

    5 Platinum MP Charms

    And much more, I did not write it down before the servers went down, but there is more. I had fun, a lot of fun, opening packs today. I do think the drop rate is higher, OR maybe I am on a good luck streak.

    R9rrr weapon originally made had 56 attack levels,

    My very first reroll 65 attack levels.

    b:pleased

    Guy on HT got 1 confirmed SoT after 60packs and another rumored SoT later on. Something deffinetly seems funky about these, all the catshops are sold out of them, maybe its because so many people are opening them that the table keeps looping through items b:laugh

    I am going to agree with what my friend stated to me that the charge rewards was ending yesterday, so a lot of people was taking advantage of it buy zenning more and buying the packs. Hence, more duke shouts on my server being annoying.

    If the high drop rate suddenly ended, we know it was fixed during last nights update.

    After all these years the drop rates are still ****.

    94 Per Cent for Perfect Token of Luck and the rest is like 0.0X and 0.00X

    I don't know what goes through players brains sometimes.

    O.o does the luck only come with this latest pack because I saved up coin to buy myself 50 of an older type only to get tokens within them. Sure its a gamble but I'd have least wanted to get 1 token of best luck. So I still maintain the pack drop rates suck unless people by loads of them.

    Of course, we should know everyone is aiming for the Crown before anything else. HT people are so anxious to either buy or see if anyone acquired it. Nothing yet so far - its more for the Princess fashion and Void Panther. So mystery solved as why this pack is always sold out in solds b:chuckle

    I guess the concept of server counts, which is what all these drop rates are based on, is lost ..............


    The rates for the packs are not high, it is the fact that everyone on the server is popping them at the same time all day to get the new helm. The server count on the pack is being met more often, more **** is coming out of them.

    Somebody has a weird idea of how an RNG works, and efficient use of it.

    However, on topic, at 94% tokens (and thus 6% non-token rewards), the snake fortune pack actually does have a better drop rate for non-token rewards than most other packs, which typically were 97%+ tokens.

    This has 6% to get something other than tokens, the previous packs were all hovering around 3%, 2%. Of course this pack is dropping better. Now stop being stupid.

    I disagree that these packs are 94% tokens. The actual goodies if you compare with other packs that do not contain fashion, this pack has 96.2% stuff that is useless.

    Scroll of tome is 0.01% in anni packs, while the rest of the packs it is 0.00X%.

    On the surface these packs may look good, but for most parts it doesn't really have anything that would make this lucky.

    Only difference in this pack against the rest, it has an item that is not available in any other form in the game and that item is an endgame item.
