Are Epic Rarity Rewards Even Possible?

%24.8 Epic or higher rarity? 

Pssh, yeah, and I'm The Loch Ness Monster. 

I'm level 144 and have been grinding this game hard. I have the season 8 pass and finished the last few events 100%. I have the championship edition of the game. 

I have less than 20 Epic items from packs. I went through everything. And I suspect a few to be from epic & legendary packs and other places. 

So? What's up with the rare (leveling) packs? I don't think I've gotten an epic item in months. I don't think I've gotten one in the last 60 packs. 

There's no way that's %24.8. Even if you include the 2 legendaries I got as pity luck rewards into that percentage (which would be shady practice), that still doesn't account for the botched probability by any means. 

Is my game or account bugged? 

Can the packs you get from leveling up even contain epic items? My odds have been that questionably improbable. 

So sick of predator game companies. They're greesier than car sales people and casinos.

  • @sodahere Yeah you'll get some Epics and some legendary skins, you should have a few legendary skins by now. I have received 2 legendary items in a single pack before, and 2 epic skins in a single pack fairly frequently. Granted I've opened a ton of packs (probably around 1400 packs or maybe it's closer to 2000 packs I can't remember exactly). 

    They are not a predator company, the Apex Packs are RNG based and 100% random. When you open the pack in game, it stops the RNG and that code correlates with items in the game. What ever it stops on you get. You'll have streaks of getting a ton of really good stuff from packs and streaks of getting less desirable items. But over a large sampling of packs it will average out.

    I can understand why you'd feel that way if you've only opened a few packs. I felt like they were not worth while when I was making my first purchases. How ever after opening so many packs I can definitely say they do average out. You'll get some good stuff and some bad stuff. 

    Don't forget to look at weapon charms, quips and other content that many players forget to look at.

    @DarthValtrex 

    It is painfully obvious you're getting paid or offered some sort of incentive to protect the brand so meticulously. Either that or a sadistic form or ecophilia. 

    Sure, it's a first world issue at most. But it does actually still disgust me. I thought I'd throw my yelp of how vile these companies are but I don't care to THAT level to debate it. 

    Sad that people go to such extremes to defend giant company's profits. They're scamming on a level so deep that everyone is outraged. But damage control it to this extreme continue to profit. 

    Pssh, and you'd think the world could have a ANYTHING - so much as a fun silly online game - that wasn't plagued by extreme greed, monetization. 

    But here YOU are. 

    I feel so disgusted, ugh.

    @sodahere Nope I am not paid, if I was paid I would be an employee of EA and have an EA tag, I'm neither. If there was something wrong with the RNG I would be pointing it out. I'm fairly vocal on here when I don't agree with something they are doing or don't like something about the game. I have been fairly critical of the crafting material system.

    I know how RNG work and I know how the system works. I used to have a huge interest in slot machines, that's where I learned about RNG. When I was younger I was curious if I could find a way to make money off of slots and the best way to do that was to understand them. So I read about them and RNG's because RNG are what operate all slots. Apex Pack feature use a very similar RNG system that slot machines do. 

    I have received no Apex Packs for free. I explained how the system works.

    If players are having issues with content in game and they post about it here, I talk to the CM's about it and make sure they get the help they need.

    @sodahere Oh and greedy? Come on, Apex is entirely free to play. You don't have to make any purchases. You also get nearly 200 packs for free (you will get a few legendary items from those packs). You get free premium content from events. They gave 2 event packs away for free, which had at least 2 Epic event items.

    How is that greedy?! Do they have items that cost a ton? Sure, the heirlooms are not cheap. But you don't have to buy them. They have no impact on the game play for function and give no advantage.

    They invest their money into creating these games, with the idea being they see a return on that investment. They pay the devs and creators to create the game with the hope that it will generate a profit. What is wrong with that?
  • @sodahere You feel disgusted playing a completely free to play game, with zero pay to win and tons of free cosmetics given to you just for playing and having fun in this FREE GAME.

    I feel disgusted that you have the audacity to even say they are a predator game company. Your level of entitlement is off the charts, and you need to be brought back down to earth.
  • @sodahere TBF that level isnt that high. How many packs are we talking and you have 20 epics?

    The game is free to play and gives you free packs. Yeah you could spend a lot of money on it but no one is forcing you. I'm sure you have hobbies others would say are cash grab waste of times.
  • @sodahere If you don't like Apex packs, don't invest in them. That being said Gambling should not be a part of any game, free or paid. Period.
  • @sodahere  Lol, epics really ain't that rare. Not sure why you would be too bothered about them anyway when they're copy/paste skins that actually kinda suck, sounds like you've just had a crappy run of luck so far...but I mean loot packs are essentially gambling.

    As for your comments regarding darth you're wayyyy off lol.
