View Full Version : Some maths about LotB

Hello,

after I played since the official release and got more and more dissapointed with the game I started some maths to see in how far the game is fair.
I started simple:
For 100€ you get 4000 Ironit which would be 4000/675 = 5,... ; 4000-5*675=625; 625/75 = 8,... ;so 5*10+8= 58 rare souls
We´ll take the case that you want to have one specific 5* toon. Now the Probability, that one drops is 1%, and there are 16 different 5* toons, so you´ve got the chance of 0,01/16 which is 6,25*10^-4 if you want to know...

Now I calculated how many souls you need to open to have a chance of 50% to get the wanted 5*:
you have 1/1600 to get the toon.
So (using Bernoulli):
I calculated in that way, that the chance to not get the wanted toon should be less than 50%:
0,5 ≤ n!/((n-0)!*0!) [this is always 1] * 1/1600^0 [is 1, too]* 1599/1600^n
0,5 ≤ (1599/1600)^n [now use the logarithm]
ln (0,5) ≤ ln((1599/1600)^n) [now I used a logarithm computational rule]
ln (0,5) ≤ n * ln (1599/1600) | : ln(1599/1600) [is smaller than 1 so ≤ is now a ≥]
ln(0,5)/ln(1599/1600) ≥ n
1108,68 ≥ n
That means, that you need to open 1109 souls to get your wanted 5* toon by a chance of 50% through a Rare Soul.
That in Money are: 1109/58 ≈ 19; 19*100€= 1900€
So you would need to spend approximate 1900€ to get the 5* toon by only a chance of 50%.
I calculated the same for a chance of 99%, same way, you need 7366 souls, equal to around 12600€ (I left out the 25 Ironit per pack that are left, would be 50 souls more).
And I myself thought at this point, that 12.600€ are definetly too much for just ONE specific 5* at a chance of 99%.

I think the way how I calculate is clear, now I´ll just list some other cases, with the amount of souls needed to have a 50% or 99% chance to get the wanted:
Rare Soul:
Specific 5*, by chance of 50% : 1109 souls
Specific 5* by chance of 99% : 7366 souls (sheesh)
Specific 4*, by chance of 50%: 277 souls
Specific 4*, by chance of 99%: 1840 souls
Specific 3* by chance of 50% : 25 souls
Specific 3*, 99% : 166 souls

Legendary Soul:
Specific 5*, 50% : 192 legedary souls
Specific 5*, 99% : 1270 legendary souls (wow!!)
Specific 4*, 50% : 44 legendary souls
Specific 4*, 99% : 290 legendary souls

G/A Soul:
Specific 5*, 50% : 323 souls
Specific 5*, 99% : 2147 souls (ops, thats quite a bit)
Specific 4*, 50% : 57 souls
Specific 4*, 99% : 377 souls
Specific 3*, 50% : 16 souls
Specific 3*, 99% : 101 souls (for a specific three star...)

If you have questions or ways I could calculate even better, pls tell me.
For me, I have to say, the Immortal Event with these numbers, are the reasons to leave the game, since everything is completely random, RNG is really much worse that I thought and toons are actually the only key to get really better.
Thanks to all who read till here, I hope it´s understandable, otherwise pls ask so I can explain why I calculated in this way.
Thanks to all my troopers which I had, but really... With these numbers I can´t see a reason why I should play this game any longer.

just one thing i counted 24 5* toons, only 15 of them are eddies

but impressive numbers, thanks for the work

Where did you count 25?
I counted in the BOS, in the fragment overview

good work and like we know RNG is a big big shit ^^

i counted in my thread, but there are all g/a included. so it's not suitable for the rare souls...but for the legendaries at least

Nice numbers and it shows even more that the whole model around this "game" is basically preying on the gambling addicts. They even use the language for it "Duble Chance", "Might be a long Time before comes back" and so on. Fear of missing out at its finest and too many fall for it.

The next carrot - and the next one and the next one to keep the donkeys moving.

Advertised as role playing game ... *gnihihihihihi* ... they obviously never played Bard's Tale or Planescape Torment - those are role playing games! This one is a slot machine with fancy graphics (and 1 million bugs + loads of server issues)

Great work, thanks for sharing this! And some of these numbers are really shocking! As I surely won‘t spent hundreds of euros in this game I think I will never ever complain again about not getting an Aces High or Cyborg or PoM or Clansman or Beast or..... hahaa

Did you accidentally count toons like the Grim Reaper etc?

On the hypothetical that NF does one day close down the game, how do go about reimbursing all the pay for the month etc type players? Another rip off perhaps?

Reimbursing players? That would never happen... doors close, game goes offline, end of story. This is everyone's fear here. There may be a statement and that would be it.

Yup

If I go to Vegas and drop $100 in a slot machine, then 3 months later that casino closes.. should the casino call me to offer my money back??

There is no such thing as any reimbursement.

i think you forgot some of the noneddies or maybe you just wanted to focus on eddies. the current event has 15 eddies 10 of them WMS eddies to drop. in addition to this rare souls can have toons like alliance general, nomad red COTD, witch doctor corrupt general, pharaoh dog king what came into my mind. so 16 WMS are 5* (disregarding liliths and eternals which wont drop). if you add the 5 G/a eddies and toons like prisoner and Acotd you will have at least 23 5* toons in the game that can drop from a legendary soul which will make your math even more powerful.

cheers.

These are exactly the numbers I calculated with ^^
16 & 23
Did I write something wrong?
Thank you very much for taking that a close look btw

sorry man, then i didn't pay enough attention, my bad. i understood it that way, that you calculated with 15 all the time. missed the part where your added the g/a toons.
