isn't it nice of Tacticsoft to give us 4 gold boxes? really sweet. I mean that honestly.

that bias they put into the gold boxes so people with an okay sized inventory of mythicals already to get useless crap gold box after gold box.. yeah that wasn't so sweet.

when I logged in and saw the notice I though "wow this is very generous now I'll get a few myths not just one and a couple may even be useful"

well. take a look:
BOX 1
Spoiler:

so after box 1 I'm thinking "okay. bad luck but the next one has got to be a goodun right?" wrong. how could you be so naive past self.

BOX2
Spoiler:
Image

now. the saavy amoungst you will at this point observe there is a mythical amoungst the pile of crap in this box.

and yeah, it's a mythical. but this particaular mythical loses its magic after you've been opening boxes for a while and this happens:

I have added a little yellow box to make spotting it easier, I appologise to anyone who was planning on a game of spot the orb cannon.

so at this point I'm thinking "don't push it now, game."

BOX 3
Spoiler:
Image

the aforementioned saavy readers of this thread will be begining to puzzle together a bit of a pattern at this point.

these gold boxes, are not giving me mythicals.

BOX4
Spoiler:
Image


"are. you. (Want to be allies? Sometimes I like to pretend I am a princess riding a pony..). serious."


THE MORAL OF THE STORY ~~~

don't insult our intelegence Tacticsoft. there is a bias programmed into these gold boxes. I used to open up 3 myths a box in my initial purchases. now this is the quality of boxes I can expect?

stop. profit whoring. Tacticsoft.

god bless us everyone.

well colour me unphazed and (Want to be allies? Sometimes I like to pretend I am a princess riding a pony..) me sideways

this still doesnt explain how I have about 20 orbs but not a single red rain for example or 8 myth shotguns: 4 flame, 3 phys and only 1 energy as another.

if the gold boxes were truly random you would be unlikely to see that. and dont try to tell me its a flook because I've spoken to other people with the same thing: always the orb cannons and then to a lesser extent with the swords

am I to be convinced that some witchcraft is at play here or will tacticsoft finaly admit they have a bias programmed into the boxes?

Thats normal for me.

Actually, through my eyes you were lucky. 1 Mythical in 4 goldies is a little over average for me.

This is kind of luck you get used to after awhile. But I doubt the boxes were rigged.

Moral of the story, Merry (Want to be allies? Sometimes I like to pretend I am a princess riding a pony..) Christmas.

Its luck - sometimes its on your side sometimes it isn't.

Sorry to hear you're disappointed, but I assure you there is no bias in boxes.

In fact to tell a little story, I once argued for a slight bias in boxes to make it less likely a box has 0 or 5 mythicals, but it was shot down and we increased the mythical rate instead (from 7% to 16% or so, my memory is awful).


We absolutely don't have any bias.
