GL ticket changes [MERGE]

Will anyone be happy with this change? Imo if u wasnt farmin tix from cheap node u was doing it wrong unless u preferred to take 4x as long to get ur gl and their ult. So are we assuming this will be like the galactic chase events? They dont specifically say the drop rate per energy

    10 energy 7-E Normal DS (stun gun) node
    42/79 GL tickets (18 stun guns) (Ticket drops 11/20, 11/20, 7/14, 9/20, 4/5)


    This yields a rate of about 53% for you. This is a little lower than I would expect based on other things I've seen. But the breakdown on this, would be an equivalent of 5.3% per eng spent. Good data though.
    At this point, I believe they made it so that the rate is the same for the 6 eng nodes, ie a 33% chance.
    6 eng node = 33% per sim
    8 eng node = 44% per sim
    10 eng node = 56% per sim
    12 eng node = 66% per sim
    16 eng node = 89% per sim
    20 eng node = 112% per sim (Unclear if this is capped at 100% or if there is a chance at 2)I'm curious if 2 tickets is possible.
    If someone's going for a GL and farming a 20 eng hard node, if you could share some data, that would be appreciated.


    I've gotten 8/10 on 20 nodes

    Haven't kept specific track on the 10 nodes but it appears to be in the 50-60% drop rate

    5 sims of 16 energy HB 2 different nodes daily since the change (I waited for the change before doing them the day it released), 4 or 5 tickets every time
  • After a couple of days of doing this with crystal refreshes I think they’re using the 4% per energy spent drop rate. The same as they used for galactic chase. So using 20 energy nodes give 80% drop rate.

    On 20 energy nodes, I'm 25/25 on tickets
    On 10 energy nodes I'm right around the 50% mark
    For the first two GL I used exclusively 6 energy nodes and was around the 30% mark. So if it was 30% before, that's 5%/energy, with maybe a baseline fail built in (since someone reported a 4/5 for a 20 energy node)


  • I made a gauss analysis with 40 samples and the rate seems to be around 5,5%-6% of energy expended
  • I think the devs should at the least give 15 tickets as a prize when you finally meet all the GL prerequisites.
    That way we get our first battle on the house and we can see what we are going to face.
    Unlocking prerequisites feels shallow.
    You just spent so much to achieve that goal of just starting to farm a GL. One mountain after another, a free battle to say congrats would take the sting out lol
