Apex Packs [Edit - Admin.]

Yes Apex Legends is a free game and I am all for spending some money on a game I enjoy to get some cosmetics. After hitting level 55 which made me realise I will no longer be getting packs from leveling or get them super rare I decided to purchase 43 packs. On those 43 packs I only got 1 legendary and 2 epics with the legendary being the 30box pity legendary. I didn't get a single epic for 30+ boxes.

They claim you have a 25% chance of getting an epic and 7% chance to get a legendary so I was pretty surprised but continue playing. Today I got another 5 packs from Twitch prime and still no epic or legendary and if my calculations are correct my next lootbox will be guaranteed legendary, making this 2 pity timers in a row.

I also got almost no crafting materials. I never spent it and so far have around 700 after playing the game so long and spending £32 pounds on it. That's almost half of what you need for 1 legendary of your choice. I play bangalore and don't have a single epic/leg item of any kind for her with no way of getting one unless I pay hundreds of pounds to them.

I unfortunately didn't record my whole box opening but I recorded my second 2100 purchase since the first one was unbelievably bad. I made the calculations and if I am correct the chances of not getting an epic in 21 boxes is 1 in 50000 if they are telling the truth that the chance is 25%. But 21 boxes are the only ones I have proof. I am telling you I open far more than that to see a single purple or legendary.

The game gives you almost no packs after level 50 and unless you spend hundreds on it you won't be able to to get a single thing you like. They could at least make a premium choice that you pay like 40-50 pounds and you have no level cap and get a box every level. That will be more humane than what they are doing now, especially when 90% of your available items are trash recolors and just a paintjob over the normal skin.

  • [Edit - Admin.] I've spent well over $70 on packs, and I'd be more than happy to spend more money on them. Sorry, but you should just get over yourself. These are great developers, and they deserve the money.

    1. You're crying about a free game.

    2. Realize that all the percentage chances you quoted,  none of them were 100%

    GOOD DAY SIR!

  • Spend your money on Barbie Dolls?

    Then you can play dress ups as much as you like.

    In essence you are gambling for pixels on a screen. 

    In a while you'll move onto another game anyway.
