I've opened 108 10x packs that i stockpiled at xmass .... neted me 12 usable purples , 5 ff's and a bunch of others that just take up crew slots now and 8 5*'s. Now i bought 4 packs for the event 4 O'briens ....
I'm done with packs i will never ever , ever pay for a pack or portal pull from now on. Just keep piling up the 1/5's and 3/4 for me DB. When my crew slots will fill up i will probably stop.
The way things are now it's just to time and money consuming ...
PS: Go lock the thread for all i care, it's not like you people listen anyway...

someone bought 23 packs and no legendary... must be an issue with packs...
dont worry, noone cares... just use forum to read, and play game as free player (no money)
maybe we get more satisfaction that way
Did I blow up on the forums about it? Well, I commented on my misfortune, but I never got nasty about it.
Did RNG return the favor? Yes! I got B-4 in Brent Spinner's B-day pack on the first try.
When It comes to DB-RNG, sometimes you're the windshield and sometimes you're the bug. If you can't accept that, find a new game.
Someone in my fleet has had 3 begolds on 3 single gauntlet pulls and her voyage just dropped like 7 SRs.
I'm not so bothered. I know my luck will turn just as Cheesecake Seven hits the game 🍀 and in the meantime it's lovely to see other players so happy with their pulls 🎊

HA! I couldn't get rid of that dude. I opened 10 packs trying to get another Hawk and got 8 B-4's.
How bad the pull rates ALWAYS are is another issue entirely, but it seems like there's a serious misinterpretation of pull rates and skewed expectations from people on what they'll get from packs
Perfectly agree!
Sometimes we do mistakes especially when we are mad.
I can admit i might spelled some inapropiate things.
Still... my post was not edited/punished for those. Was for my opinions.
If you wanna judge someone else actions must be fair.
dont punish someone because you dont like his mind, or what he thinks.
I got a warn about ban, and when i made my point in another tread i got ban. Why is that? was nothing against any rule in that post. Is that fair?
You're wrong though, you were clearly reprimanded for your profanity
profanity to what/who?
for making a post with "to hell" in his subject?
you making me laugh!
I'd point out the numerious f-bombs you had in your post as well, but then I'm reminded of Shan's "Just don't respond to trolls" philosophy.... Oh, damn, oh well
i dont expect any answer/resolution. i know the "power philosophy". i just want others to see/learn something from this. that on the forum you cant say what you think. you must be a "good dog".
for me this is the end of posting here. i will stick to FREE to play philosophy and fin another game to spend on.
Happy trails.
I hope this has been the chance people needed to vent. We all need it sometimes.
@guest_1067614565141508 / Aandraa - You mixed in your swearing into multiple posts on that thread to the point where I got tired of censoring individual words. You also have a history of swearing in your old posts as well as inciting others on the forums, hence the ban.
This is a shared space that we want to keep friendly and open for people to enjoy and to discuss the game. You can say anything you want here, but that comes with consequences up to and including removed posts and being banned. Constant swearing (especially dodging the filters), sexism, hatefulness etc. will not be tolerated.
I am arguing against packs and I hope this pack/ lootbox trend will get banned in Europe.
Out of curiosity, do you have to buy your own packs? This post sounds like they don't give you any freebies.
Last week I had decided to coast. As most of you know, I have no connection to Disco so my drive on Disco weekends is simply not there. I promoted a squadmate to squadleader so he could benefit from the shared points, and my plan was just just send shuttles whenever possible, nothing extra.
The previous event was also Disco so I coasted and never got close Chancellor T'Rell, so I had almost no event crew for the event.
I noticed I had Mirror Garak at FE at 2/4 from LONG ago, that I was likely to get a third copy, so I decided to buy a pack to get my 4th copy. I got Chancelor T'Rell. I was not happy because now I have another Com/Dip/Sec 1/5 on my hands.
Bought a second pack to get Garak. Got a second Chancelor T'Rell instead. BLEEP. I am running low on dilithium so I cross my fingers and buy a third pack. Still no Garak, but did get a third Chancelor T'Rell.
Bought more dilithium and opened a fourth pack. No Garak, but a FOURTH Chancelor T'Rell! One final try, I open a fifth pack, miss Garak AGAIN, but got the FIFTH copy of Chancelor T'Rell!
I was both incredibly angry and in stunned amazement at the same time!
T'rell? T'roll.
Don’t take this the wrong way, but I hate you 😂
thats what i talking about... the game is very unbalanced when it comes to that most talking "rng".
you cant tell someone its rng's fault when someone get 5 legendary in 5 packs, and others dont get any in 20. or when someone find 12 legendary in 3 months in gauntlet and some find none. is just something wrong somewhere...
i have nr.1 from the previous event. im just mad when i spend money to buy dilitium for nothing. when i pull 10 packs or more i expect to find at least 1, so i can be motivated to buy more... if i find none ofc i will not buy nothing more. its marketing... give ppl what they are after or they will stop chasing it...
"If I toss a coin, what chance I get heads?"
"50%"
"If I toss a coin nineteen times and have gotten a head each time, what am I likely to throw on the twentieth?"
"Erm"
"It's still 50%"
As someone who has played with statistics to try to win at the casino in the past, I can assure you, that is exactly what this game is. Otherwise they would just say "buy Number One for 650 dilithium". You get hooked into the "one more roll of the dice" mentality. That way lies disappointment and destitution.
I am not being overdramatic by saying the loot box model is the crack heroin of the gaming world. It's a model that works very well for the developers. That is why the European Union are trying to regulate it.
I also need to open 3 boosters for Chekov. Please DB give me SR when I want them instead of Legendary crew. And Legendary when I want them instead of SR.
Bingo. Exactly. This.
I posted the “probability of at least one gold after x packs” rates here or in a parallel thread. While it goes up after x packs it’s at a diminishing rate, and as you stay, the individual probability on each next pack is still the exact same number. It’s the slot machine / coin flip problem, precisely.
I’m the sort of person who will pay for a trip to Las Vegas and then allocate myself only $50 to go play the slot machines. If I get lucky, great, if not, I’d rather spend my money on dinner or a show where I have a high likelihood of enjoying my investment. That’s exactly me on packs. $25-ish is my upper limit when i’m able and indulgent to spend on packs, and that’s enough packs to get me into the 50/50 range for cumulative proability of getting at least one gold. If the coin flip ends up heads, great, if not, ok, I know I gambled and lost and I move on and look at the Honor dribble as the casino’s free breakfast buffet ticket. But it is exactly the “one more pull of the slot machine” addictive allure that entices folks to try more.
I'm at the same point now too Jim. I currently have an active monthly card, but it may be my last.
I recently bought the offer where you have all beholds in packs (can't remember the name) and basically got beholds offering three purples that I had long since immortalised. It's not RNG's fault - the fault is that I have almost all of the purple chars FF. The low amount of honour I received from airlocking these 4* characters isn't worth me buying more of these packs where where is a chance that I would get them.
Lets's take this packs on offer this week for an example; I really want Majel Number One. I opened four packs and got two Rikers, one T'Pol and one Saru; all of them I have already FF. If I were to open an event pack, I would want either New Number One or Chekov, but there is a danger that I would get O'Brian who's already FF, so I'm going to abstain. I'm not a gambler. In fact I'm quite stingy when it comes to things like this. I'd rather have Chekov sit there at 3/4 after the event than risk wasting 650 dil to get a character I already have FF. Eventually he might drop in a Voyage or maybe the portal will be kind and give him to me when he is added later this year. If all else fails, I'll be able to cite him or even wait for him to appear in another event or re-run.
I'm not expecting DB to make drastic changes to their business model, but it would be nice if the honour given for airlocking crew could be increased. It would make folks like me more tempted to buy packs without reducing the amount of packs bought by the true gamblers amongst us. Perhaps DB think that it would stop people spending money on buying characters directly?
So which way should I take this, lol
PM for details.
So long and thanks for all the fish.
There would be a market for this, certainly.
Happened to me too (already had her at 1* from the previous event). Then I though, ok, one more try, and I got Chekov.
