Please confirm Event Piece Box give rate this time around...

Event Piece Boxes have the following drop rates: Legendary 10%, Epic 20%, Rare 70%. Last event I bought 52 straight Piece Boxes for 5 Legendary pieces, 2 Epics, and 45 Rares. That's 10% / 4% / 86% drop rate respectively.

Due to the large number of draws I should have come a lot closer to the 20% Epic drop rate than 4% (which is actually 20% of the 20% pull rate), so I'm afraid to purchase more until I get confirmation that it's working better. Has anyone bought enough to confirm the drop rates are accurate this time around?

 

Nope.
Parts box ftw!

 

Does that mean you have only tried Parts boxes? Last event a Guildmate was complaining they received 9 uncommon parts in a row from that box. How is it going for you?

If every 10th box is guaranteed leggy then ya shouldn’t use those 5 in your math? They have a fixed drop so shouldn’t % be worked out from opening 47 boxes with a result of 0 leggy drops?

 

I have no clue what my exact drop rate is for Epic Item Pieces, but I would estimate it to be around 10%.

I opened some Parts boxes last event (not a lot, I think I opened 8), and got something like three batches of Uncommon parts.

 

Because it's a lot of draws, excluding Legendary doesn't actually change the result... depending on how you want to interpret the 20% drop rate, the math gets you 4.2% or 3.8%, both of which round to 4%, and both of which are 20% of the 20% expected drop rate. My hunch tells me a Dev double-applied the 20% to the RNG generator.

ut isn’t the drop rate for leggys you experienced 0 not 10% Because the leggys you got were from boxes with fixed odds?

 

5 Legendary out of 52 picks is 10% (1 every 10) just like the box states. 20% Epic should have resulted in 10 Epic Pieces rather than two, and 52 draws should have been enough to converge close to that 20% even with RNG variance.

 

But every 10 box is guaranteed and not subject to rng? The 10% chance of a leggy should only apply to the 47 boxes that weren’t a guarantee
If the 10% referres only to the guaranteed 10th box then i feel it’s falsely advertised
On that note I’ve had a few leggys drop that weren’t box number 10 in previous event

 

Lol never mind I just checked and it’s 79% rare 20% epic and 1% leggy

 

I recived 250 rare parts two times in a row
and my experience with piece box is similar to your

 

Bro, how do u even play that much. U get 5 leg pieces, it doesnt matter about the epics. Some of us barely play and u r talking about getting 1750 coins. RNG is always not going to be exact. See this event first, then come to conclusions.

 

guys i am going to go for 100 item piece box...so yes please tell me If i should wait wait (actually i am looking for a event where i can get leg mortar perks)??!!

 

Yesterday, My guildmate was saying he spent 900 coins all on piece boxes but got no legendary pieces

 

Your guildmate definitely did not open the piece boxes. You are guaranteed a leggy piece every 10 crates. I have tested that and it works.

 

Not exact is an understatement. I hadn't redeemed coins for probably 8 straight Events. Legendary T1 is only T4E equivalent, so it's not that great.

Anyone draw 26 straight pieces yet? I don't want to waste coins again on bad RNG.

 

Probably, I can't believe him 100% either. I didn't say it doesn't work lol but battle bay is a buggy game and similar problems were happening lately so it's not impossible for something like that to happen

 

Unfortunately you have the same odds of getting a legendary (1%) on every pull no matter how many you do. It is true that the more pulls the better your odds but that's only for 1 piece. For example 1%chance*100pulls=10% chance for one piece out of 100 attempts

 

I usually do get a lot more common and uncommon parts than rare and epic parts.

For my situation, I’m still trying to level up my 3 legendaries and all the epics I have, so I’m not looking for perks or more items.

So really, I just get the part boxes because I need any parts I can get, but it sucks when I get 1 power cell. I know it sucks more if I just collected a bunch of useless rare parts or non epic perks, so that’s also another reason to why I always get part boxes.

 

Anyone try piece boxes yet? If you are getting just 3 Epic pieces with 900 coins, I'll consider it a huge improvement over the 1 piece per 900 coins I received, twice in a row.

I'm just looking for confirmation that RNG isn't actually set at 4% for Epic Pieces.
