So we are going backwards again on drop rates?

I'm surprised that no has mentioned this yet. The drop rates have been reduced, and they added more foils. So basically to pull the foils its even less then an ATG last year. Is there a reason why?

    Plus the non-primes are useless. I’ve got 3 * 360 OFs. 2 are tournament only. The other is WOH only. Got Odorizzi too and he’s only for tournaments. Garbage

    simple answer to the why... because we are glu and we can.

    @DFBB did you notice this as well? The foils are 5/1000, last week it was 8/1000 with 1 foil. No now its actually much less because there are 2 foils.  Maybe im missing something here, but shouldnt the odds go up if your adding an additional foil?

    And why wouldn’t they?
    I'm confused by what you mean by 5.7 and 5.8.  You mean the round and level?

    That's my reply as well. Why not? It is clear the rainbow brigade will spend whatever it takes to "own" the game. I would too if I were GLU. This is who the game is catered to.

    Yes, we are aware of the game having crashing issues in the middle of WoH, but we can't compensate you for the gold you lost at this time. This is done on a case by case basis. - TSB Customer Service

    Ahhh that makes sense. Drop the rates and hopefully people don't notice... typical.

    Or at least stay the same 8/1000 🤷🏻‍♂️4/1000 per foil. 
    Im leaning towards it being a mistake it just doesn’t make sense

    One would think so right? Seeing horror stories this weekend of basically ATG chases on these foils. Glad that we have some GLU represenatives that can comment on it. Cause it makes zero sense.

    I think last week they may have been boosted because they holiday? They’ve done that a couple times. I wonder if this week is just back to “normal” low pull rates as opposed to “boosted” low pull rates.

    2 steps forward 4 steps backwards 🙄.... It's been a brutal weekend so far for me. I know "brutal" is relative here but I don't spend much of anything of real dollars but normally I can pull a prime within thirty boxes not a foil but a just a regular prime usually towards the thirtieth box when I decide to do so. This weekend just 1- 360 and 1- 340 rest is XP. No more. Only CvC and gift boxes.

    Agree on the above. All weekend I've pulled 2 players none of which are worth anything. To top it off just logged in and my gold has disappeared and I've not used it buy boxes. Pretty piss poor tbh

    Yall only have yourselves to blame. Complain all you want, you still dive in.  For you heavy players, find a different pass time. pornhub, youtube, etc...  but dont complain if your active light is on 18 hours a day

    I also agree that if there are two foils to chase, the foil odds should’ve been adjusted. That said, the odds themselves didn’t change. Here are the 500g boxes last two weekends:

    I was almost certain the odds were higher, maybe it was the weekend before last? I guess I MIGHT have been wrong. But just seemed like the foils this weekend were very hard to pull, either of them.

    A few weeks ago they bumped the
     to 1% I think. But that was a one off. But to be fair the odds are awful. So it’s really hard to keep track of. We need the super guarantee. To me that’s the only way this can be saved. It will be expensive but it’s better to spend 50-100k and get the TOP prize  vs spending 125k+ and getting shut down. I get we need to have some control and part of this problem is us, but it’s pretty clear odds aren’t going to change(atleast enough to make an impact) so the guarantee is a must IMO. Moving from .5 to .8 and adding extra foils just worsens it.

    Yeah if there are 2 foils, they should raise odds accordingly. In typical fashion, I got one of the two (Arenado) 4 times before I saw the other.
