    If you bought 11x 10 pulls then you get 2x 4* apology pulls

    It were more like 110x 10 pulls in roses case...

    So I'm either getting like 11 or 110. We'll find out tomorrow. And oh yes, there will be youtube.

    If you bought 11x 10 pulls then you get 2x 4* apology pulls

    How the heck are you doing your calculations to get that so unbelievably incorrect? Here's Erin's quote again:
    For every 10 pulls of the Premium Portal you made, we’ll give you 1 pull of the 4 Star Apology pack. (If you made between 1 and 10 Premium Portal pulls you get 1 4 Star Apology pull.)

    If SilverRose bought redeemed 11 of the ten-pulls, she will get 11 of the 'sorrypulls'. If she bought redeemed 110 of the ten-pulls, that's 110 of the 'sorrypulls'.


    Could you please continue the petty bickering? I find it most intriguing.

  • Let’s say I opened 22 10-packs in the last week. That means I will get 22 4-stars tomorrow plus however many more I can afford with honor?

    That’s quite generous if accurate. This is really a double bonus for people like myself who only bought that many packs because we lucked out with 10x10 for $10 offers two weeks in a row.

    Tomorrow should be exciting.

    Read the definition in the brackets 1 to 10x 10 pull (between 1 to 10)= 1× 4* sorry pull

    I think it goes back to how we're defining a single pull. I did about 40 single premiums yesterday. I would think that would give me 4 of the new apology pulls. I did ~110 10x pulls. I don't know what that gives me, and the wording/count is vague. Or maybe single premiums don't count at all, but that's vague too. IDK. I think we'll all find out when they award them.

    That's only if you didn't redeem as many as 10 pulls. You are ignoring the part of her post that specifically states 10 pulls equals one 'sorrypull'.

    Here, let's break it down:
    • You did 1 to 9 pulls = you get 1 free sorrypull
    • You did 10 pulls = you get 1 free sorrypull
    • You did 20 pulls = you get 2 free sorrypulls

    The only thing that's not entirely clear from her post is: if you did more than ten pulls but not an exact number divisible by 10, would they give you an additional sorrypull for the remainder? (In other words, if you did 14 pulls, would you get 2 sorrypulls?) I kind of doubt it, but it's possible.

    40 single pull = 1× 4*
    101 single pull = 2× 4*

    110x 10 premium pull = 1100 single pull = 11× 4* pull
  • Thank you for finding a way to fix this issue. It is good to see DB working to correct past mistakes.

    However, this fix also serves to highlight how unfair it is that some people are given special offers like the 10 premium pulls for $10 while others aren't. Not only do they receive the most useful offer, but they will ALSO now receive more of these compensatory packs as well. This is extremely unfair to those of us that did not receive that special offer.

    That's how I read it as well, but as others have indicated the wording is a bit ambiguous.

    22x 10 premium packs = 3× 4* apology pull

    Aw man, I just went and blew 45k honour on a behold a couple of days ago...

    Kidding (I mean, I did, but never mind) - they goofed, this makes it right, I'm a happy captain.

    Even coming out slightly ahead I suppose, since we get to keep the purples we got from the 'bad' packs. So I don't have to give up my Augment Riker... yay?
  • JeanLucKirkJeanLucKirk ✭✭✭✭✭
    I think it goes back to how we're defining a single pull..

    The definition is "For every 10 pulls of the Premium Portal you made, we’ll give you 1 pull of the 4 Star Apology pack."

    So yeah, those 40 singles should give you 4 of those apology pulls.

    While 1 10x pull = the same as 10 single pulls. Which should give you a further 110 apology pulls.

    Let´s wait and see - and hopefully you swim in new crew tomorrow...

  • Someone should start cursing or calling people names then maybe a moderator will see this thread and get us a little clarification LOL

    40 single pull = 1× 4*
    101 single pull = 2× 4*

    110x 10 premium pull = 1100 single pull = 11× 4* pull

    Again, this is completely misreading the post, as it was written. Erin said "for every 10 pulls", not "for every single 10x pull". So according to what she wrote, it doesn't matter whether those ten pulls were done as singles, or as part of a 10-pull -- they count the same. As well they should.

    Yes that's right between
    1-10 = 1
    11-20 = 2
    21-30 = 3
    31-40 = 4
    41-50 = 5
    51-60 = 6
    61-70 = 7
    71-80 = 8
    81-90 = 9
    91-100 = 10
    101-110 = 11

    etc........

    Like Silver said, it comes down to the definition of a pull.

    However, let's start from what they're trying to compensate for - the lack of new crew in the portal. Each 10x pull will give one guaranteed 4*. That may or not have been a new crew. Let's say for the sake of argument that on average, you might get 1 new crew for every 10 10x pulls. Then the interpretation of 1 apology pack for 10 10x pulls makes perfect sense.

    One additional 4* for every 10x pull - or one for every one you were guaranteed, seems exceedingly generous.

    Single premium pulls don't guarantee a 4 star. A 10x pull does. I stand by my reading,1 - 10 pulls of the 10x pull=1 free 4 star pack. It makes sense if they figured you had a 10 percent chance of getting a newly added 4 star. Plus you can use the honor for all the Olds you dismissed on the new packs which will not give beholds.

    But she says premium pulls not 10x 10 pull. According to the game a “premium pull” is:

    So 1 to 10 of those should get you 1 apology pull.

    And 1 of these should get you 1 as well:

    Good ask. I dismissed him long ago before I started going on a freeze frenzy and regret it
  • I wonder how much honor these packs will cost...?? If it’s a single pull pack surely they won’t be the same cost as it was to airlock all those duplicate 4*s.. 200 honor? Hopefully it ain’t 18000 honor.

    Single premium pulls don't guarantee a 4 star. A 10x pull does. I stand by my reading,1 - 10 pulls of the 10x pull=1 free 4 star pack.

    By logic you are right. In that case the wording is maybe the problem:

    "For every 10 pulls of the Premium Portal you made, we’ll give you 1 pull of the 4 Star Apology pack."

    Shouldn´t that read than:

    "For every 10 10*pulls of the Premium Portal you made, we’ll give you 1 pull of the 4 Star Apology pack."

  • But, I'm looking right at it, checked the data and tested it again, and found no issues.

    I've done 4 pulls and had no problems too!! :-) :-)

    So I guess we’re on the same page. For clarity let’s call it the blue and purple based on outline. So if last night I did 10 purple pulls I should get 10 apology pulls. Silver I think did a 110 of the purples and 40 of the blues so she should get 110+4 apology pulls.

    It's possible the original post stated things incorrectly. I guess it's pointless to continue to debate it now. As has been said, we shall find out for sure tomorrow, exactly what was meant. All we can do for the moment is wait. ;)
