Are Gold Rates too Low?

[sensei_tanker 3,098]

Recently TO updated the gold rates, making it fixed across all ranks. However, they haven't yet disclosed the new rates. 

 

Now that we see a x10 gold event going on, golds only drop once or twice in a battle ---> meaning that golds are only to be dropped once or twice in ten battles. That is very far from what it used to be. 

Btw, I'm not a gold hunter and I still think they are too low.

They are always too low if you ask a gold digger.

Take into account that for low rank the new drop rate is higher than before. And for High rank the drop value is actually lower than before (I don;t think any player will disagree with that). 

So if you multiply by 10 this new low rates it is lower than before for High ranks but higher or high for low rank.

Overall this is better for high ranks, because last time 10 times was way too disruptive.

[Rayyan 3,415]

Welp I guess it's high, 1$ is too high. It actually should be for crystals.

[Maf 32,300]

From my experience it's more like 3-4 per battle.

 

Anyway, during x10 events it always seems like the probability isn't actually x10, because while during normal days you don't actually expect a gold to drop since they're so rare, during x10 events you basically play for the sake of golds, so you pay a lot more attention to how many golds there are. And because of this, even if the chance is actually x10, it feels like a lot less than that.

And it's also 10 minutes battles while it was 15 minutes before.

IMO golds are supposed to be special. Let me remind you that the chance for a gold is only 1/10000 per crystal, so even if you have a 1500 BF, it's still 15/100, which is pretty low. 150/100 is pretty good, so you should be seeing three per four battles or so. Again, golds are supposed to be special.

I am seeing 3-4 per battle

and i am not a gold hunter

Once or Twice? How about five times a battle.

[C.O.N.Q.U.E.R.O.R 3,845]

Oh wait, didn't devs increase drop rate at lower ranks or something? So drop rate is no longer 1/10000?

I was in a massacre battle and there was just so many Damn gold boxes there.

This statement.is false. completely and irrefutable false.  

 

 

Mario Brotehrs is over that way ---->

Also you should note that previously Gold Box drop rate was connected to the fund, so previously it became 1/1000 instead of the usual 1/10000 in x10. Now, it's connected to the timer, and since the developers did not share any probability yet, it's impossible to know for sure, with proof whether the rates are slower. However, I do agree, they definitely seem like it, I remember in previous x10s, a Gold was dropping every passing minute, sometimes even two at once. 

[Hex 11,520]

1/10000 per crystal

This is the old value, it's not longer relevant after the update in which Gold Boxes drop rates were made equal for all ranks.

[Pyre 3,485]

gold plz admin

[Guest]

Ehh, no. Because of x10 drop rates, I usually see at least 2-4 golds per battle.

Golds drop upwards of 5 times a battle w/ 10x, and it is ruining the game.

Keep digging, I'll keep winning.

[GorgoBlesk 831]

Keep digging. Easy kills for my Titan Shaft...

[gokuMI6 1,290]

TBH today i felt like there was some boost in gold rate i saw 5+ in battles

[sensei_tanker 3,098]

It's weird, I've seen 5+ in 2 battles but many battles not a single one was dropped. 

[Do.Or.DiE 521]

Nope, i see gold even on no kills,no score sometimes. I see 2-5 golds every round which is kinda okay because in past if teams were not fair, the fund was lower because loosing team keeps leaving and gold would drop very low

All these "feels like" comments are utterly meaningless.  Randomness means some games will have no drops even at thw dazzling "10x".  "Feels like" means to the the statistician "I got no nothin'".

However, I do agree, they definitely seem like it, I remember in previous x10s, a Gold was dropping every passing minute, sometimes even two at once. 

I've just played a game where 2 dropped at basically the same time followed by two more falling at the same time about 15 seconds later followed by a 5th single drop about  30 seconds after that.  Does THAT "feel like"  10x to y'all? Five in less than a minute?

 

Of course no one but me was trying to you now actually play the game.  OTOH thank you for your death I will add your ear to my collection.

Wow, are you so important that only your "feels" count and no one else can have their opinion? That there posts become "utterly meaningless"? What you don't realize because of your oh-so-big ego is that the rates did change because the whole mechanic of the system changed. How can you be so sure that the drop rate is slower or faster when you don't even have the official value so you can compare it to the one before, 1/10000. Listen, three Golds can drop in one second or one can drop per three minutes in any system - the old or new, there's no way for you to confirm it being x10 and then declare others' posts meaningless just because you had a game where a ton of Golds dropped in a short time.

 

Oh, and wait, try and be a little nicer next time, so we can all have an easier time understanding your point.

OK, you want to use probability. Fine.

 

With 10x gold rates, a battle which normally drops only 1 gold, in theory, should drop now 10 golds. Although, clearly this is not how things work with probability to real life, but it never even comes close to 10 golds.
