I agree that it’s too much based on luck and other games give better odds.
In addition to the current odds I propose a pity timer: guaranteed legendary any 8 packs hatched which would carry over each banner if no legends are hatched. The trick is that you could “time” your final hatch (if you were as unlucky as me) to a special egg banner that has the monsters you want to get a better shot at them. I think that would be a fair way to offset bad luck.
Just gonna point out that there’s actually a higher chance of getting a specific featured legendary in seven packs (280 gems) with the current system than when there was a guaranteed featured at six packs (300 gems).
Usually what happened was there were two featured legendaries and you were guaranteed to get one of them after six packs. This would give a 50% chance of getting a specific featured legendary as long as you wanted one of them. With the featured rate so much higher now (15x instead of 3x) and packs costing 10 fewer gems, there is also around a 50% chance of getting a specific featured legendary. Since the featured rate is 5x higher, you also have a pretty high chance of getting featured legendaries in your other packs.
It would be awesome to have a pity timer tho. I just feel like a lot of the ppl who are saying the old system was better are forgetting the time when someone could spend 300 gems to get a mojinator.
The odds of hatching angelion in 1 egg are 0.963%, so the odds of not hatching angelion in 1 egg is 99.037%. The odds of getting angelion in 300 gems, or 75 eggs, is about 51.6% with the current system.
These odds also apply for the three other featured legendaries. I’d love for there to be a pity timer, but there’s simply no argument to be made for having the old system over the new one.
Odds of not getting angelion in 75 eggs: 0.99037^75 = ~0.484 or 48.4%
Odds of getting angelion in 75 eggs: 1 - 0.484 = 0.516 or 51.6%
actually it’s 15x bc of the anniversary
