  • Unless there is video of her pulling moonstones out of her taco(s), I can't believe you. icon_e_geek.gif

    i honestly used to think that i had a bad RNG going on. the following happened:

    - two of my Alliance-Mates had a green Hulk in a Standard-Token at the same time. Not that bad actually, i know.....
    - i was playing simultaneously with a friend of mine who had a yellow Mohawk out of a Deadpool-Taco. I was like "hey, i didn´t used mine until now!".... and what i got? A green Mohawk (yes, different color, but still fishy...)
    - yesterday i played at the same time as my girlfriend. she pulled purple Moonstone out of a both of her Tacos. Guess what!? So did I...
    - back when Grocket came out i had one of their Event-Tokens. An Alliance Member said that he finally pulled them out of a Event-Token of his. Aaaaaand- unsurprisingly i pulled them too (cannot remember the color now...)

    Had other similar instances but i don't remember them as well as the aforementioned. I want to keep some kind of credibility ;)

    I have no tiny kitty idea what exactly is going on but i definitely think, that the odds of pulling a 3* is only partially RNG-based. It is not about pulling something similar with somebody, but pulling these things in a specific timespace.
    And i also have to mention that within my last 50 Event- and Heroic-Tokens i had 3 (!) 3* covers. As a transitioner that reaaaaally sucks a tinykitty-buttocks. But hey! Out of 78 Standards i had 2 Mystique cover.... so.... yay..?

    p.s.: in case you´re wondering: yes, i got my whole family and friends hooked to this game...

    Aside from the hilarity of "she pulled purple Moonstone out of a both of her Tacos" there may be some validity to your "timespace" theory in that the RNG still needs a seed of some sort. Assuming server time is in some way used as a seed for RNG, I guess it's plausible that tokens pulled within seconds of each other could potentially result in a RN within the same range.

    Overall though, I think something we should all keep in mind is that the pulls are independent - although we think the tokens should know a bullseye or moonstone was just pulled and somehow temporarily remove that cover from the rotation, it doesn't necessarily work that way.

    Well, on the bright side at least it wasn't 4 Yalena Belovas and 3 Bagmans. IJS icon_e_confused.gif

    Bullseye scoffs at your Moonstone tokens - you're lucky you didn't get him instead!
    And besides, Moonstone is totally awesome - just ask Demiurge developers everywhere!

  • My first two tokens I got groot and groot and I thought "I like it a lot!".

    I have got every taco available so far and since only got 2*'s, each time I think "wouldn't it have been nice if they were 3*'s, oh well I'm still getting heaps from the daily quest. I like it a lot".

    This game is fun for the journey not the destination. I like getting the characters. If I got all of them, I would have nothing to play for.

    I also get mad that every token I open, be it taco or especially event, is a 2* instead of a 3* that I need. The bright spot of all of the 2* disappointment is that I need to sell those 2* to add to the thousand-someodd 20 iso rewards so I can actually level 3 and 4* covers. As far as Moonstone... are those real?

    DDQ is awesome, the only change needed is me pulling the 1k HP a few dozen times. icon_eek.gif

    I would not mind some Moonstone taco.. icon_twisted.gif

    This happens quite often. If you click on the token right away after opening the last one, you normally get the same character again but maybe a different color. Of course this doesn't work with 3* heroes but it normally always happens to me with 1* and 2*.

    When this starts to happen, I usually press the token and hold it down for a few seconds then when I finally release it will be someone else. I imagine the tokens spin around a wheel and the longer you hold, the more characters you cycle through. I win a decent amount of 3*s using this method sometimes.

    Odds of any given 2* coming 3 consecutive times (except Bullseye): ~1 in 251
    Odds of any given 2* coming 4 consecutive times (except Bullseye): ~1 in 3694


    But it's been statistically proven that people pulling 4 Moonstones in a row are 3694 times more likely to post a new thread about it than people who don't.

    So the probability that someone would start this thread was 100%.
  • I've gotten 2 gamoras so far but everything else is 250 ISO
  • On the bright side, as a 2* her max red is better than 2* Wolverine's with the right conditions...? icon_neutral.gif Okay, only good with X-Force when Surgical lays the board and leaves nothing but red.
