Decreased 5* Odds in Fan Favorites

The Fan Favorites CP store has rotated, and now the 5* odds are ~1:7, instead of ~1:4 like in the first rotation. Pretty upsetting for those of us who were waiting for a different trio to spend our CP on... It would have been nice to get some communication on all this...

    Yeah... I try to keep an even keel about this stuff, but my excitement at the trio was quickly replaced by disappointment at the rate change. I get that keeping us off balance about what stores are coming up is part of the deal with a game like this... but man, changing the fundamentals about the FF stores feels pretty bad.

    And full 4* dilution is back.

    Yep, I wanted more of them all but will save for the next time.

    Yes, also was disappointed. Really don’t understand why the stores are so different.

    I was ready to make a big pull today, but now I am holding off. Who knows, next one might be 1:4 again? The uncertainty is making me spend less, rather than more.

    Data push altered odds.

    Fan Favourites 1:5
    Classics 1:6

    What is happening with this game. The developers had a whole year to plan this anniversary and now the rate is being changed in the middle of the event? Seriously, what happens now to those who pulled with a rate of 1:7, accept the loss?

    I am one of those people that pulled at 1:7. I contacted CS and they got back to me quickly but have said the ticket is "on hold until there has been an update for this issue." Guess I will wait and see.

    Was Classics intended to be 1:8 for…N amount of time? Is that cause for a ticket? I have no clue how many pulls I’ve done in there…

    Imagine all those poor normies who don’t use forums and discord to play the game. Then again they deserve it for voting for okoye and Logan. They will deserve it even more for the next one with dr strange.

    At this point in the game you should be able to pick three of your choice and have that run as a vault for the anniversary.

    This affects every part of the game.

    I guess we have to wait for the engine update for live service updates...then again...

    No idea but I pull about 85 Classics per season. I am not going to put in a ticket - I figure the odds were advertised and I used the CP knowingly. It's like asking for HP back because the next vault had better stuff in it.

    No it’s not. They admitted there was an error, and fixed the error a few hours into the vault. That’s completely different.

    And it might not impact you so much, but I have alliance mates who pulled for 1000s of CP when the vault first opened. That’s a good number of 5 covers they missed out on mathematically. CS tickets have been made and resolved for much much less.

    The problem is that when covers are rostered, the usual only resolution is rollback. And that is not great either, especially since CS is holding in dealing with this.

    I appreciate many of your posts, and your contributions to this community, but this is a false comparison and feels dismissive of those who have good reason to be pissed off.

    @Scofie my apologies. Your comment was about the Classic store, not the Fan Favorites. Please disregard the above, since I was only taking about the FF, which is the Subject of this thread.

    I suppose, but I feel like we got a pretty big announcement when the odds were changed to 1:5 and bonus 3 odds were introduced, so to quietly make them 1:8 with no announcement seems pretty weak.

    Yeah, I'm not defending it changing and changing back without any communication. I'm just saying I saw the odds and pulled anyway.

    They updated their position on this and will issue you FF tokens at 1:3 pulls you made under the 1:7 odds if you contact CS and notify them.

    Presumably anyone who already did so, got their tokens already. If you haven’t contacted them, I would recommend it.
