Please add a counter for the amount of packs opened out of 500

It would be nice to see the amount of packs i've opened and how close I am to the 500th pack.

Seeing something like 200/500 in the apex packs screen would help a lot in deciding how many packs are needed to get the guaranteed heirloom for those players who have been unlucky. 

If this is not implemented then this tells me that the counter feature is most likely bugged, why else would a company not allow it's player base to see how many packs they need to purchase for a guaranteed chance at one of the rarest items in the game?

    I definitely agree! I honestly don't see myself getting an Heirloom, ever... But it would be nice to still see just how close- if I'm getting anywhere close- to 500 packs opened. 

    I know there's a way to calculate it though, like it's every 10 or 5 levels after Level 100 you get a pack...? I know I'm wrong probably...

    @MoNosDirtyGaming I highly doubt it would ever happen. They most likely use this as a ploy to have more spend money. Not allowing a counter means people then have to keep buying crates to get to 500. Not knowing means someone could buy 100 packs and they only needed 8 more. It is a sales ploy imo how i see it. Cause if i knew i only needed 8 packs then i wouldnt buy 100 hoping for it.

    @StarMystro So it works out like this currently.

    - Level 0 - 500 gives you 198/199 packs
    - Getting season 1-4 (12) and 5 (14) battle passes to 110 gets you 62 packs
    - Twitch prime got you around 4/5 i think?
    - And possibly another 1-10 from bugs etc

    @MoNosDirtyGaming would be horrible thing to allow from their stand point of marketing. In the end this will result in less crates being bought from knowing exactly how many they need. So with loss of revenue which out of the millions who play would be a loss that could bankrupt a company. After all those crates are 98% of the games income. Knowing marketing myself it just would be too big of a hit i believe,

    @E9ine_ACLmao MATE, each event they get 150 from certain players, and events happen at least once every 2 months. They hardly fix any bugs, there's still a buncha glitches which they refuse to fix. Some players think they're 100 boxes away when they're actually 350+, this would increase revenue not decrease it as players know how much they need to reach the 500 mark. I also know marketing, it works both ways. The players who don't purchase boxes because they don't know how many they need would instantly jump at a chance for their heirloom. Have some hope, seems depressing reading your comments.

    @MoNosDirtyGamingandf still millions buying crates. bugs mean nothing to some. Not to mention if someone see they only need 10 more crates verse the 100 they was going to buy cause they didnt know how many they needed so yea. Its a loss of revenue.

    @E9ine_AC Lol if a person is stupid enough to not count how many boxes they need and decide to purchase in bulk then it is THEIR loss, not the companies.

    Bugs mean nothing to some? So you wouldn't ask for a refund for a product that wasn't performing correctly? Remember dynasty warriors 9 on release day? I'm guessing not, they had serious frame rate issues, lots of players decided not to purchase the game. If a game you want to play has issues 24/7 then players will more than likely quit. Crates work in a way that you'll have a chance to get what you want anyway, seeing how many you need for the guaranteed amount wont affect them much regardless as most players DO NOT purchase boxes.
