Hey!
For those that aren't picking this up yet, a quick note to say that since patch 1.07 hot fixes, people are reporting the guaranteed ultra rare every tenth expert or premium pack is not working.
I advise (if you have maxed rares and are only seeking UR) holding off spending your cash at this moment while users have the opportunity to post videos detailing one way or the other. Given some investigation time we can find out definitively if this is indeed the case.
If someone has the credits to potentially waste and video capture facility then please step forward for BSN!

But it`s really weird... that a patch unintentionally breaking RNG pity timer that works on server end.
I`d say this is 100% intentional change. They fixed something at the server side.

Dev commented on this on reddit: We fixed a bug earlier today that was causing incorrect drop rates to occur for Expert packs. The rates you and other players uncovered aren’t what our team designed them to be, so we introduced a server-side fix to correct the issue. While this fix was deployed this morning, there was a brief window this morning where Expert and Premium packs were not giving the new, intended drop rates. We’re looking into this issue and for ways to remedy the situation for affected players. |

If they can`t even set RNG store as intended when the game released, it really really shows how incompetent they are. I am not saying this as a mad person... I am just saying this really really makes BW look bad. |

I thought something was fishy with the drop rate. Happy to see I am not the only one experiencing problem.

I am not saying this as a mad person... I am just saying this really really makes BW look bad. I think it's more along the lines of: Dev 1: Shite, they figured out the RNG! Dev 2: Oi, it can't be that bad. It's not like there are places these people can go and spread the information. Dev 1: You tosser! There are places and look at the numbers! Far too many blokes have higher than projected URs! Dev 3: *installs new patch with goofy look* I'm helping! Dev 1 & 2: Brilliant! TL;DR - They saw the numbers and were probably not happy that people were gaming the system so they fixed it to be slower. |

My patience is not long for this game at this point. I liked the patch for the most part but they really need to get some more fixed instead of breaking shit. Don't worry about the drop rates BC if someone plays 200 hrs they damn well deserve to max out.

What sort of sample size would be needed to be valid? More is obviously better but what is the least we can make due with?
I don't have time to grind huge amounts of credits, but I could toss 100$ into it, take one for the team, and get 40 premium packs worth of sample size?

The usual sample size in the real world is at least a 1000, if possible. The bigger the sample the better but in our case it is really hard to do so without spending real money which is probably what EA wants people to do. |

So wait, we're buying Premium Packs now? Preliminarily ... yes. It appears that they nerfed Expert UR drop-rate and buffed Premium US drop rate to match the in-game description, (I postulate) in order to mitigate the legal suit from China. |

How I read this We found a bug so we tried to fix it. Then we found out our bug fix was bugged. We are not sure if we fixed it at all but we are sure we screwed the players a little in the process. We are saying we are looking into a remedy but really we are locking the doors in case y'all show up with pitchforks and torches. |

Uploading the video now, will be featured on penguinfetish's channel whenever he gets done with the audio, and sorry for sounding tired. It'd bit over midnight here. Quick findings seems to be; Garanteed drop every 10th Premium pack, even if you have already gotten an UR in the last ten boxes. I didn't count all the URs exactly since that wasn't really the point of the video, and I seem to get 10'ish URs out of the 40 Premium boxes. |

If they upped the droprate on PPs overall, I'd like some compensation plox, since I've just about maxxed my rare manifest using mainly PPs. No? Well, fuck you too then, Bioware.

Though if you say 10 URs out of 40 premimum, isn't the guaranteed one at 4? No, I don't think so, I got one every 3K points I spent regardless, right on the dot (So every 10th pack). In one of the "streaks" I think I got like 4 URs out of 10 boxes, so it's still fairly random with such a low sample size. |
