[BYOB] Aragathor Players 7,047 posts 32,322 battles Report post #1 Posted November 16, 2019 How is your experience with the drop rate of duplicates from the boxes? I have already opened 5 standard boxes and got 3 duplicates right off the bat. Of the same item. So I'm not optimistic. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[CHEFT] DFens_666 Players 13,162 posts 11,029 battles Report post #2 Posted November 16, 2019 WG screwing you over? Who would have thought that ?! Havent opened a single container yet, and i wont bother with the grind.

As I had (a lot of) Doubloons to spend and finished first Directive and got the daily bonus of today, I got 12 items and 16 duplicates to finish it quite fast.

Mad_Dog_Dante Players 6,636 posts Report post #5 Posted November 16, 2019 4 items 2 duplicates. Thats fine though, my school collection has 26 items and 24 duplicates so far. ROFL. Hats off to WG though in making all other rewards in the italian collection so ultimately uninteresting that even I'm now collecting the horrendous gambling lootboxes with the italian currency. They made everything so unattractive and put the only reward thats worth anything in their bloody stupid rated 7+ lootcrates. GG WG, you keep pushing that . You seem to be bloody hell bent on making me not want to spend a dime on your game by pushing the worst gameindustry standard by far: pushing marketing and gambling in my leisure time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[-OOF-] ollonborre Beta Tester 2,598 posts 12,758 battles Report post #6 Posted November 16, 2019 Having a container you can only buy with another god damn limited currency which is the only way to get the collection items, that on top of that can be duplictates because why the hell not is taking the piss to a completely new level. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[SCRUB] Leo_Apollo11 Quality Poster 7,146 posts 31,598 battles Report post #7 Posted November 16, 2019 Hi all, I got first 6 without any duplicates! Then, today, the 7th gave me my first duplicate... Leo "Apollo11" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[FAILS] BruceRKF Players 1,077 posts 27,204 battles Report post #8 Posted November 16, 2019 First six containers, no duplicates. Which was highly suprising because in the Azur Lane collection I was up to 40 duplicates before I could finish it. I guess it either cancels out or I'll just get massively unlucky soon.

[KAKE] Uglesett Players 2,804 posts 6,795 battles Report post #9 Posted November 16, 2019 To be honest, I don't think WG could be bothered to code a probability distribution that actually takes previous events into consideration. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[SM0KE] Verblonde Players 9,787 posts 20,664 battles Report post #10 Posted November 16, 2019 I'm on 9 items collected, with 2 duplicates so far - that seems vaguely within range of what I've experienced in previous collections. On the up-side, the duplicate conversion rate is only 1-4 this time (lately, it's tended to be 1-5), although that - of course - could be meaningless if WG have messed with the probabilities...

Egoleter ∞ Players 4,046 posts Report post #12 Posted November 16, 2019 Six container, two duplicates. And as I am unlucky with the lotteries in the game in general, I didn't manage to get the tier X filth camo either, despite collecting eleven items already. My guess is that I will not get it before the 22nd drop, so until then I will only collect limited numbers of italian tokens from the daily missions reducing the number of potential containers again. Playing with the filth only nets you two tokens per day max. I hate these casino gameplays. This time WG even planned with some players not being able to complete the collection. Not due to them being unable to collect all the tokens, but for the simple reason that there might not be enough of them if you collect to many duplicates. Might effect only a few of us but it is still part of their plan for some reason I couldn't grasp (ok, I lied: they want us to purchase premium containers = spending money).

Cambera_1 Players 1,018 posts 23,940 battles Report post #19 Posted November 16, 2019 (edited) First 8 containers - 1 duplicate. Expect a higher number in the second 8. Just because that's what probability says. These were 3 free containers and 5 standard ones for tokens from the Armory.

Cambera_1 Players 1,018 posts 23,940 battles Report post #20 Posted November 17, 2019 Another "standard container" for tokens - another unique collection piece. SO... 9 containers - 8 unique pieces and 1 duplicate. Probability says that the next one only has a 50% chance of being a unique one and 50% of being a duplicate.
