This is not the case. Someone did a fairly large opening and drew that conclusion from their results, but the two problems with that are a) random chance means you never get exactly the statistical average, so if I open a bunch of each type, there will always be a “winner” and “loser” but there’s also a statistical margin for error which wasn’t factored in, and b) we actually know what the actual drop odds and drop amounts are, so the statistical average is calculable for all three crystals, and it is exactly the same: 1840 per million BC.

Since 2021 I’ve opened 58 million BC worth of TB arena crystals. 20 crystals per million BC batch, 1160 crystals total. The total units from all those crystals is 106875, which is an average of 1843 units per batch. The biggest batch I have I opened was 5250, and the smallest was 375 units. It is highly variable because you’re opening so few crystals per batch with very high unit counts (375 and 1125 units for the small drop and the large drop respectively).

If I had 50 million BC and was planning to open them all at once, I would definitely open the TB crystals. First, because I don’t want to go insane opening tens of thousands of arena crystals, but second because the TB crystals are very slightly more valuable. In terms of units, all three crystals have the same average return. But in two ways the TB crystals is more valuable. First, the Punishers have higher rarity, and assuming most people would consider the higher rarity Punishers far more valuable than the lower one that crystal has an edge. Second, the TB crystals has a very slightly higher gold return per million BC than the other two crystals due to the need to scale it differently for energy drops. The UC crystal has a chance to drop five full energy refills. Scaling up the TB crystals would imply it should occasionally drop 25 refills. But that was seen as problematic, because many players would not be able to use 25 refills before they expired from stash. So the TB crystals has a higher chance to drop 10 refills instead, so its net energy return is identical to the basic and UC crystal. But those odds had to come from somewhere, so the odds of dropping gold in the TB crystals is slightly lower than in the other two. To compensate, the gold drops are slightly higher than 5x of the UC crystal, and those numbers are rounded up so the crystal doesn’t have worse gold return. Instead, its very slightly higher.

So with a 50 million pile of BC, I would go TB. It’s enough to average out the unit return fairly well, you get better Punisher drops, and you’ll net a slightly higher amount of gold. And you’ll only have to open a thousand crystals.

Lol thanks! We originally got her for "free" from the last Platinum track or the one before. I can't remember which. But hope you get her soon. She's really good on offense too

Thank you for this.

Thank you for being you.

Don’t ever change.

Amazing Captain Terminatrix!

My Bastion R3 is near 100 after 2 dupes and a lot of sigs...lol

The Basic Shards were supposed to be there by the Loyalty Crystal, popping that back

Removing player agency for virtually no reason is a bit of a problem. Also you misread what he said.

The SBC Bundle will not have a Key, Mister Nuts is correct

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts! Allow me to explain my reasoning:

1. No notes on your first point, I think your idea makes more sense. Can also be fitting lore wise since you can argue Mysterio his helmet can sort of refresh his mind with the gasses allowing him to shrug off neuroshocks quicker. Great idea!
2. Not a bad idea, but I just wasn't sure if it would be too strong or not so I played it safe.
3. See at max sig you gain a poison every 6 seconds, so making the debuffs last 8 seconds makes sense to me since the opponent would constantly suffer from a poison and thus never evade. Making it counter miss is not a bad idea, but I feel like evade is both more thematic with countering Spider-men as well as not wanting to make the character too strong by giving him a solution for anything.

Still good ideas my man, let's keep the fishbowl nation going strong!

If you want full transparency here it is.

When something like this goes wrong the comp process requires:

1. Someone from LO to decide what we are going to provide for compensation
2. Someone on the data team to produce the list of affected accounts and the compensation for each
3. Someone on LO to create the comp package in data
4. Someone on LO to write the comp message
5. Translation of the comp message into all of our official languages
6. QA testing of the comp message
7. Scaling our servers to send out the comp message

We got numbers 1-6 on that list done last week and the comp was scheduled to go out Thursday, but our engineering department requested we hold off until this week so they could double-check the server scaling plans. You'll recall a comp we sent out a few months ago crashed the servers and created a bunch of knock-on issues, obviously we want to make sure that doesn't happen again. So it will go out some time this week, as soon as we get the green light to hit send.
