So I bought a She-Hulk 10pk...

Unknown

Ended up getting nothing but iso and a Red Punisher which I already had covered out. I missed out on getting her in the Jugg heroic (damn having a social life lol) so I was on the fence about getting this 10 pack because I wanted to do those nodes, help my alliance and keep up with the pack. Now I have nothing to show for it and minus 3800 HP. I really think if you're getting one of these multiple packs the featured character should be guaranteed, even if it's just one cover. This is the first time since playing this game (Over 180 days) that I got a pack without featured character. Now unless I grind my fingers to a nub I won't get the Sentry covers I want. It's irritating and I put a lot of time into this game for this to happen. I hope the devs make some slight tweaks to the packs.

I'm of the opinion that featured character 10 pack should guarantee a random cover of that character.

The current system is to much of a gamble and one that I would personally never take. I've seen plenty of my alliance mbrs go 0/10 from the season 10 packs.
I've also seen one get 3x *** and 1x **** out of a single 10 pack. These things can be rewarding but I feel the risk vs reward is to great.

In fact...I'd take it one step further and guarantee that the *** cover obtained is one you don't currently have maxed out.
This would ensure a satisfied purchase to some degree every time.

Yeah it's all random. I loved the old tokens that you either get the featured character or a 2 star. So when the gold token came up I would be excited to get the featured character. Now they are basically a heroic token with a little more chance at the feature charCter.

Not only is it not guaranteed but they keep DROPPING the chance of getting the featured hero in 10 packs.

It went from guaranteed to 25% (IIRC) then 6.something % and now an almighty 4.4% chance per draw of the featured hero!!! I think they're how far they can go and have ppl buy them.

Basically don't buy them, they are a rip off.

I bought some when they were still 25% chance. I've stopped buying them now. Why spend real money on stuff I can't even use? If they were really cheap I might take the gamble, but they're both expensive and most of the time pretty worthless.

Unknown

I've been against buying... well, any packs, but especially the event specific ones since they changed it from "A Guaranteed" cover to this "Improved" odds thing. If they wanted to make money off the packs, you'd think they would increase the odds. Better chance of pulling things people actually need = more people buying packs. I'd think so, anyway.

Huge ripoff. It doesn't even make sense, you could buy any three other covers that you wanted for the price.

Something like this and you'll see me buy a 10pk+ As it is now I will never buy one.

Unless you need a lot of 2* covers, never, ever buy a ten-pack. Ever. Under any circumstance.

Even if you do need a lot of 2* covers you probably shouldn't.

Yep, ten-packs are a rip-off and if we all stopped buying them, maybe they'd improve the odds again.

If you really enjoy popping tokens or want the very slightly improved chance of a featured character, I recommend just buying the daily deal once a day only. At least you save 200 HP on the 400 HP token instead of saving 200 HP on a 4000 HP multipack.

^ Actually I think the 4.4% is only for heroics, since they spread out some of the % for all the other buffed heroes. I mean of course it's still bad, just clarifying it up a bit.

Those packs are probably brilliant for beginners, so that they have a large DIVERSITY of characters instantly.

Those could be called Introductory Packs.

But when it comes to guys who can't perform in a PvE to get the new char covers, there should be packs with guaranteed covers.

There was once a Pack with 6 3* only, and I remember I only got one duplicate. I needed all the rest. I think it was called Courageous or something.

I'm glad I started back in February. Building my roster if I started now would be impossible, and I would have given up.

i bought more than one of those packs, they were offered for the LR's and had at least one cover of ALL the featured heroes/villians. it was costly(5k HP) but the fact that it was 5 GUARANTEED 3 star overs it was more than worth the money....then they **** it by making it just have a higher drop rate, then they **** the prizes themselves....went from guaranteed 3 star tokens to....well what they are now.

I bought the 40 pack.......

6 She-Hulk, 2 Sentry and 4 other 3* covers that I sold.

I always check the odds.

Unknown

They pretty much include every character cover - 2 and 3 star. The draw rate is always going to decrease this way. A guaranteed draw would be nice.

Unknown

Wait, people actually buy 10 packs? For future reference: do not EVER buy token. If you have the hp just buy the covers. If you were looking for covers you don't have yet, its better just to wait until they're a reward than to waste all that hp. Maybe if people stop buying them they'll raise the odds back.

They claim the current system actually increased sales. I guess some people just don't get probability...or are just desperate enough to buy 10-packs until they win the cover lottery?

I confess, I bought a ten pack. No 3* this time but got a Xforce. I'm happy.

Unknown

The same thing happened to me with Human Torch. I got ZIP. ZERO featured covers from spending on 10packs. All I got was a bunch of 2* and a single 3*. I was pretty upset. Hero Points are NOT cheap.

Sadly, the odds are ridicules.

Suggestion they could increase the odds for the 40 pack offer, double the odds to 12%

For people who haven't looked at the statistics:

A ten pack gives you a 4.4% chance of winning the featured character per draw.

That means that per each draw, you have a 95.6% chance of not winning the featured character.

The chance of NOT drawing the featured character ten consecutive times is 95.6% to the power of ten, that's 63.1%.

That means that every time you open a 10 pack, you only have a 36.9% chance of winning the featured character. Statistically, most people who buy 10 packs aren't even winning the featured character.

This game is tailored for the fool and spenders money not earned with sweat. The rest is not considered people so have good chance suffer from collateral damage. Unless wise enough to leave it to just the intended public.
