Re: Pack calculator question..

It's nothing but a lie. 500 packs is a complete lie. I've been playing since the 4th season, I've been doing all the events, all the tasks, I have a battlepass subscription every season. I don't have a single heirloom. There are several EA imposters on the forum (top posters) don't believe what they say. EA uses imposters to not reply directly. Imposters, on the other hand, speak only in EA's interests.

    @l_mRGogo If you've only collected free packs since season 4 you are likely 200 or so short of 500. If you played from the beginning I think we are around 400 free packs.

    500 packs is total *. Don't believe the imposters. Those who talk as if they are the ones who developed the game are fake. 

    It turns out purely by chance. My friend just started the game. He earned 138 level 2 heirloom.

    @l_mRGogo Yeah you have a chance to get one before 500. If you haven't packed one in a random pack by 499, your 500th pack will have shards.

    Hey @l_mRGogo,

    Many of the top posters you reference have been around the community for quite a while and are pretty knowledgeable about this type of thing; I wouldn't be so quick to discount them when they're trying to provide some insight or information. 🙂

    It sounds like there may be a bit of confusion based on your last couple posts here.

    Heirlooms are extremely rare, but it's absolutely possible to get them before opening 500 packs. It sounds like your friend has had some great luck, has opened a bunch of packs, or participated in one of the collection events that guaranteed an heirloom. 

    If you haven't received an heirloom by the time you've opened 500 packs, then you are in fact guaranteed to get one at that point. The link up in the second post here is a pretty solid way to get a general idea of how many packs you've opened thus far.

    @l_mRGogo I have been playing since week 1 or 2, and have bought all battle passes and mazed out all but season 1. Done a good portion of event/quest stuff for packs. Been maxed at level 500 for what seems like ages. I'm only around 400 packs opened. I have purchases the 10-pack thing from the store on 3 separate occasions (30 packs), but the remainder of my packs are strictly free packs that I have accumulated.

    The 500 packs is just a guarantee. You do have a ridiculously small chance to pull one before then, but it's not likely. A good friend of mine, started playing around season 3-4, and pulled shards when he was around level 200 or so. It's just luck, of which I have none, Lmao.

    Definitely not a lie, or "imposters" though

    @l_mRGogo lol, I've been playing since day 1 and don't have one.  Get in line.

    You are almost certainly well short of the 500.

    @l_mRGogo What’s up with the hostility? Lol calm down.

    The 500 pack is hard coded in the game. It’s literally in the code. You get a very very small chance in each pack. You’re just unlucky like me.
