Anniversary souls are broken

[Cthulhu]

There is something very wrong with the anniversary souls.

My wife and I have opened about 15 between us, and they only drop Onyx Sons, Shardbornes, and War golems.

This is what a bunch of 8 gave:





From the event description, they are supposed to drop 3*-5* non-exclusive characters released in the past year. I am pretty sure there were more characters released than War Golems, Onyx Sons, and Shardbornes.

Anyone else having the same experience?

Hi Cthulhu, go check the fragments section in The Book of Souls.
There you have all the potential drops from this type of soul. I can't remember now but it's no more than 15-20 different characters.

[Yup]

Odds are a shitty as ever. Tons of shardborne/onyx sons here as well.. but a Gunner Minotaur did drop.

There are a lot of 4* characters that they can drop. Dropping 90% Shardbornes and Onyx Sons is definitely a bug.

that is not a bug, it is just the RNG, not everything in the game is a bug, lol! I've opened my anniversary souls and I got a Viking invader Eddie, a Flight of Icarus Eddie, a Magus and Assassin werewolf, Lamia, Caria and some of the Shardbornes and Onyx sons.

Got the same thing here. Shardborne, Onyx son, and golems. After 21 souls. Typical event drops for me.

It was good for me. I already had all the shardbornes, but none of the onyx sons. So I got all of them and hellraiser Eddie.

Souls are absolutely broken and overloaded to drop Onyx Sons & Shardborns. These characters should not even be included as they have dedicated souls available from Lord of Light... waste of time and resources of an event. Shame too, because Anniversary events used to be the best events.

[Yup]

It's not "broken". It is merely because the poole of characters is so much smaller the shitty odds are more apparent. These are the same odds you have with any "rare" soul... you either get lucky.. or you get the same lower-end characters all the time. Heck, I've dropped 99 Heroic souls and NOT gotten the top 2 featured characters there..... the odd have always been fairly crappy.

As for these... yes all shardbornes and onyx sons with the occasional golem... but I did have G and M Minotaurs drop once each as well.

The pools for this soul are actually a lot better than most other event souls because there are barely any 3 souls. This is the first non-legendary soul to be stacked towards 4*s.

That being said I would feel insulted to pull only shardbornes and onyx sons as they have their own soul that is relatively easy to obtain and farm.
