I don't think I ever saw the movie... I may have to check that out!!

Had enough Ironite for 30 of those Nautical Souls. The premium toons were:
Navigator Ed (yussssss)
Angel of Fear (great, my third)
Magus Corrupt Rescuer (Didn't have any CRs yet so that's nice)
So according to this it seems there's a 10% chance of getting a 4*, which doesn't seem any higher than Rare Souls are supposed to drop. Unless they changed the chance for premiums in the normal souls.
Out of the 3*, the interesting ones were a Wicker Golem, which I didn't have yet, 3 extra SoLs and another Mummy.
It does piss me off though: I now have every single premium magus toon in the game (with multiples of Corrupt General, PDK, Pharaoh Dog, bat, CotD), but STILL NO CARRIAGE RIDER
Aaaaaaaarrrrrrrrgggghhh
Once I'm done with the break I'm considering reviving that old dropchance for Rare Souls thread and look at the chance for premiums with that, Rare GA, and Legendary Soul. Willing throw my stack of 58 Rare Souls in the interest of better sample sizes
I got 10 3 stars craps.
And a 3rd Navigator... also finally a SSD so my defence will be a bit better in the Arena ;-)
Out of 60 nav souls premium toons I dropped are following:
5* assassin cotd
4* death dog
4* sentinel droid (dupe)
4* gcr (dupe)
6 nav eddie...lol
See... This is what I don't understand with RNG supposedly being "Random"... How is it that you would end up with three Navigators and others (including myself) can't seem to pull one of them. You just pulled your first SSD??? I think I have tree or four of them and I know I've sold off more than that. Others get dupes of the PDK and I've never pulled one and have been playing daily since July. Somehow the RNG must have a dependency on the account your are using and isn't truly giving you equal odds to pull "Any" character. It just seems that the dupes I end up with are toons that others have been looking for and the toons I'm looking for are the ones that others pull multiple times... something so broken with the RNG and souls... Can't be as random as advertised... I've come across others who have multiples of the Prisoner and other supposedly "Extremely Rare" toons... very strange indeed...
I fully agree that the RNG isn't so random. Same as you i have been playing every day since few days after the release,opened zounds of souls and still don't have a CG,pharaoh,prisoner,viking,gunner rescuer or navigator(50 NS opened so far).
On the other hand i owned a red bat and warrior troll(never thought he was that rare) since i was about lvl40 and have sold a couple of their dupes since. i have 2 CRs,5 of each angel, 3 wicker men, sold about 10 PDKs by now...
Sadly i seem to be on the unlucky side of that random RNG :(
EDIT: I've also noticed that once you acquire a certain rare character it becomes "not so rare" in your drop pool. for example i didn't have a AG for a long time and then i got 2 within 5 rare souls. Same goes with AoF,troll and all those i already have.
Same thing for me with Samurai, Aces High and AoF... after getting the first one they kept popping up. Nicky has 3 Vikings.... weird. I'm still desperately waiting for Cyborg and Vampire Hunter to complete my Eddies collection. I hope Sacrifice will do the trick :-)
That's interesting... and would confirm what I've suspected for a long time. RNG isn't actually as random as you would be led to believe. I think it does look at your inventory and then determine what is really "Rare" anymore. Once you have it, it's no longer rare to you. (A spin I really hadn't thought about), but it makes perfect sense. Of the couple thousand rare souls I've cashed in, I've yet to get a CG, AG, PDK, Prisoner, The Nomad, A whole lot of Eddies and a ton of other toons I'd like to have. Once I got the 5* Warrior COTD, I ended up pulling him again about 2 weeks later. I know many players who have him so I don't think that he's that rare, but I do see some people who have been playing for a long time and still haven't pulled him. It feels like when your account is setup, you are predestined to pull "Certain" rare toons, but others are extremely... extremely... Rare / non existent. After feeding thousands of rare souls into Eddies mouth, you'd think that the odds would eventually fall in our favor and see something different. Another thing I noticed is when I spend Ironite I've earned in the game and use it towards souls / event souls, I end up with duplicate trash most of the time. But when I invest $99.00 in the store for Ironite, I end up pulling better characters that I didn't already have. Could be coincidence, but that hasn't been my experience...
I love the theory but...
I've only pulled 1 each of the CR Eddie, AoF and just recently, red Troll. I think it may have more to do with money. I wonder if some of the players that have pulled multiple top tier characters have dropped large amounts of $$$. This seems more plausible to me.
