Are the developers being petty by giving us only 14 Ultra Containers?

[Generalissimo 40]

So a Youtuber said that you will get better things if you open 15 containers at once rather than opening up containers individually or even 5 or 10 at once. Now IDK how true this is but ever since then I've been opening only 15 containers and I've been getting a LOT better stuff. Like each time I open up 15 I always get a good augment. I feel like when you open 15 you're bound to get a legendry item whereas opening each individually there's less chances each time; but again, IDK exactly how it works I just know what's happening to me.

This leads to me wondering if this is why developers only give 14 Ultra Containers when there is a special event. Always 7 for completing all and 7 for each mission. So that players don't open all 15 at once and get something really good. If this is the case, its shocking how much (it's obviously they already are, but this shows the extent of it) anti-non paying players the developers are.

If not, please just give us 15 Ultras so we can open 15 all at once xD.

It used to be 15 I believe, they changed it to be only 14 lately. O_o So I just open them one at a time. At least I'm getting epic items this way.

You get 1epic per 15UC's guaranteed, but it shouldn't matter whether you open them 1 by 1 or by 15.

Hmmmmm...

The amount of Ultra containers being given at Ultra weekends, or some special events are calculated, as in accordance with other things to keep the game economy intact. This is done to as "not break the economic factor" too much, and keep other things in mind as well.

Just confirmation bias. Opening 15 at once feels like it gives better rewards, but it's exactly the same as any other combination. As frederik said above, you are guaranteed to get at least one "epic" item for every 15 UCs you open, regardless of how you open them.

Though as someone who just likes satisfying round numbers, I agree that always being 1 short of being able to open 15 containers in these events is rather annoying.

I used to open them by ones. But now I just become lazy so I started to open them in a bunch, too long animation for 1K crystals. Not sure if this will affect the probabilities

[numericable 2,375]

I used to think like you but i managed to get 1 legendary item by each 5 sets when they gave only 7 before the update. Now i think that it's the same.

While YOU get 1 legendary per 15 sets almost each times there is other guys that get it each 5 times and other guys each 1 by 1.

I think they gave 14 on purpose just so you get each premium or BP to unlock the one left but at the end of the day, you will get 100 mines with this one more cont.

I normally save extra UC if they are more than 15, so next time i can use my saved extra to open next 14 as 15 set

Don't really think it matters much, opening 15 only guarantees you will get at least 1 Epic reward, but it does not mean you can't get better rewards by opening them by 5 or by 1. I also opened 15 recently and did not get any better stuff, so it is still pretty much random. As for why they are giving only 14, I believe it is fairly clear - to promote getting even more cash from tankers by purchasing Premium or buying BP to get those extra UCs from missions available only for Premium and BP users. So yeah it would not really break the economy, but given the state of this game, it is fairly obvious this being yet another monetary change to squeeze dem bucks out of you .
