What are the chances?? :dizzy:

Assuming a drop rate of 1/3, it’s 0.67 to the power of 16, or roughly 0.0015.
That’s about 1 in 650 if you prefer it in gambling terms.

Unlikely, yes. Impossible, no.

The drop rate is maxed at 33%, the average though is in the lower 20’s!

You're in for a ride

However, as I hear, the last time someone tried to do a "scientific" long-term drop rate study, they were told to "stop it!" by someone important. Why? Because drop rates get "massaged" from time to time.

I stopped using Facebook to avoid this kind of vague pulled out of thin air misinformation

I'm not a part of any SWGOH facebook group and what I said was stated by a game changer.....

Ive had greedo hit 8 times in a row with 85% crti chance two times in a row. Ive also had a character dodge my attack 4 times in a row (Without foresight). Rng is a crazy thing. Oh ive also had 7/8 a few times and never had 0/8 on hard node farms.

I’m more saddened by the fact that it takes 6 carbs (and 3 stun guns) to gear him up...right after I “wasted” my 2 saved carbs on bringing Juhani to G8 so I could clear t6...

You've never gone 0/8 on a hard node? We're playing different games.

Here is a very recent long(ish) term study documented in these very forums: https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwars.ea.com/discussion/196365/new-old-republic-characters-drop-rates-day-28-completed/p1

Yep, only a month long "study" which really doesn't mean much in the long-term. It's good for tracking purposes leading up to the event and during. The one I heard about was a year-long study of drop rates which would've been more indicative of actual rates and would've shown how drop rates go up and down during certain times and certain events.

Good info on that one though, but during the same timeframe I was getting 1, maybe 2 a day from the three characters I needed to farm for D Revan. But I didn't do any node refreshes, just the basic 8 per day on each.

Sooo...you’re saying your sample size was considerably smaller? Like 50-67% smaller?

0/8 happens to me like every other day. The trick is to farm 20 energy fleet nodes.
