I am currently in my worst streak of pulling 5s, I am still above 10%, so I can consider myself lucky but my last 18 pulls were just 4s, so right now I don't feel too lucky (more when in this last Hulk PvP I have started seeing A LOT of 5s in the 330-360 range).

What is your your worst streak until now?

    I pulled a SS black on my 3rd LT the week they were introduced, I didn't pull another 5* till last season where I pulled 3 in 2 weeks

    I've stopped counting, but it must be close to 40 at this point. When Anniversary came around, I had about 17-18 tokens to open. None were 5*'s.

    Then out of my next 10 tokens, 3 were 5*s. Yay!

    Since then I've
    Hit every PVP 1300 except for 3-4 of them, counting offseason.
    Hit around half of the PVE Legendaries.
    Had some of my alliance mates buy a pretty large amount of HP. Enough for around 3 Legendary tokens.
    Gotten 0 more 5*s.

    I'd estimate by this point I must be around 70 tokens opened total, and 3 of them have been 5*s.

    Thanks for making progression at the highest level entirely luck based, Demiurge. That was a GREAT idea! icon_rolleyes.gif

    In the last 2 months, playing the game at a high level, I haven't seen any meaningful progression in my roster. What a joke of a game system.

    18 straight legendary tokens without a 5* will occur 15% of the time. Rough, but relatively common.

    I had a streak about that long myself, and then I got 2 different 5*s within a week. I'm still well under 10% overall.

    I've opened 51 lamendary tokens and have yet to pull a 5*. I will not push for them anymore as I find it a waste of time since I rarely even get useful 4* covers when I open them.

    I was in the high 30's and about ready to flush this game when I finally broke my streak last week. I've gotten 4 5*s out of 79 Legendary Tokens so tonight I should hit 5% once I draw another unneeded 4*. And while I still have several good reasons to quit this game, at least a painfully long dry steak on Legendary Tokens pulls is not one of them. Who's got 2 thumbs and really really **** luck? This guy!


    Edit: Yep, another 4* I didn't need so now 4 for 80. Great system guys!!!!

    Wow I think devs NEED to see these results. It CAN'T happen that somebody has openned 40+ tokens without pulling a 5. This is nuts!

    The system needs to be changed, everytime you win a legendary you also win a 5 shard and when you have between 5 to 10 shards you win a new token that will give you any 5 cover. That would be fair and good for the game.

    I broke my streak of 40-straight 4* pulls yesterday, finally. I'm a 4* transitioner, so it could be worse, but that was really frustrating.

    My worst run was 52 without a 5*.

    Pull rate right now is 2.7% and I'm into triple figures of LTs pulled. LTs are horrible and need to be removed as the main method of progression.

    Based on my statistics, I have about a 60% chance of pulling a cover I need out of a Legendary Token. Out of the last 6 Legendary Tokens I pulled, I could use 1. It has been a really bad run.

    On the other hand, my overall statistics are actually fine - 60.38%. So I can't really complain.

    I think the worst thing about the 5* is that a player like me who cant fit a 5* due to transitioning to 3* have to sell it away. A 4* would be much better

    Not kidding, but I pulled 2 5* out of the 7, and I sold both cos the scaling was terrible.

    I completely stopped counting but I could maybe reverse engineer the total if I were so inclined. Basically I saved all my legendary tokens until they added Iceman/Rulk/Cyke, 24 in total. Opened them all and pulled 2 SS out of the first 16 tokens so I was feeling pretty lucky...Haven't opened a single 5* since then. It's been almost 2 full months. In that time I've probably gotten probably around 10 LTs from DDQ, another 12 to 15 from PvP, and maybe 8 from PvE. Add on another 2 from CPs and that's at least 30 more pulls. So, I guess I'm in the 30-40 range. Rapidly approaching 40+

    And this is why the system is terrible. I'm the complete opposite, where I need almost no 4* cover unless its a new/recent release. So anything I pull that isnt 5* is just a total waste. Terrible system that should never have been implemented.

    On the other hand, there are many players who haven't gotten 80 LTs yet. Or even half that. Just saying. icon_mrgreen.gif

    I've pulled 4 Logan's total out of 80ish. So nowhere close to 10%. We do however have two players in our alliance who's 0 for 50+

    It's a terrible system that needs to go. How about putting a 5 cover at 12k season score?

    Voted 20-30 for my Girlfriend, she has opened at least 25 LTs and has yet to see a 5*, the one 5* cover she has (OML Black) was gifted to her by D3Go at NYCC 2015 because she won the raffle

    She swears that Joe did something to her account, to this day she still quotes him saying "Are you sure you want a 5* cover? You won't see another for a long time"

    Makes me laugh, she's had such bad pulls icon_lol.gif

    A little part of me dies each time I read about someone selling 5* covers...

    I'm glad I don't track my token odds. The record-keeping and streak-tracking would drive me crazy.

    I haven't pulled a 5* in a while, but my current streak is nice: about 10 LTs in a row without pulling any unneeded 4* covers.
