1.08, 1.09, 1.10 Premium / Arsenal / Reserves Pack research

I'm not really worried about that since we already basically confirmed it ourselves. I think at this point open whatever you want to open, just track. It would be nice if we could zero in on the actual rates for characters and weapons across packs. Right now I'm showing ~60/40 for characters from Reserves.

Hmmm... if each pack has its own pity timer, then you may be spreading things out a bit by opening different types of packs.

For example: Say I opened 4 each Premium, Arsenal, Reserve packs and don't hit any URs.  Had I instead bought 12 of a single type, I would definitely have hit its pity timer.

In the long run, it might not make much difference, but I've been confining my purchases to Premium Packs thus far.

So it's beat to save up at least 1 million points before bu ying any premiums or reserves in order to get the pity timer? Buying them as soon as you earn 100k points then playing another game resets the pity timer?

Oh ok. Thanks for the clarification!

Opened more packs today. Data will be updated as I write this. Video availble again if there should be any demand.

Does anyone made an analysis with the gathered numbers in order to draw some (preliminary) conclusions regarding the UR drop rate of the different packs?

I'm still having more luck on premiums than reserves, but my sample data is not large enough to deduce anything.

40 Reserves, 10 URs (8 Characters, 2 Weapons)

I hit the pity timer once but I was too unmotivated to test anything interesting around it. Sorry.

I *finally* unlocked the Angara Avenger in my 36th pack. That means I have all URs unlocked now. Woot!

I have plans to do all my data entry and to consolidate everyone's data into a master book, but I'm working on a bunch of other stuff so it may be a while.

We gonna make a new one for 1.09?

That could work too. Then I have to ask, how copy/transfer formatting and such on google docs pretty please?

Can I take this opportunity to implore everyone to change to (IMO) a better format that has separate columns for "# UR Characters" and "# UR Weapons" per row? Yes, you have to enter data in two cells instead of one, but it's much cleaner to see a bunch of 0s and 1s (and the occasional 2) rather than "C", "C / W", "W / W", etc. Also it is MUCH easier to write formulas based off numbers than off the letters (and slash symbol!) that must be parsed.

I started tracking my pack data and keeping it on GitHub. You can find it here:
