Fourth Mutant awakening gem

Over the past 4 months I have opened 4 5* awakening gems and got Mutant out of every single one. Which is literally the only class awakening that I do not need. I don’t believe that getting 4 mutant gems in a row is a coincidence. So Kabam, if you guys are using some sort of algorithm, please, cut it out! Now I have 4 mutant gems in the stash that I don’t know what to do with.

    I've had 2 Cosmic, 2 Tech, 2 Mutant, 1 Skill, 1 Mystic. Really needed the mutant gems when I got them. Does that mean that this alleged screw the player algorithm doesn't work for me? I've had horrible luck in other areas. Maybe they select different aspects of the game for the bad RNG for different players? Or maybe you just had bad luck...

    I’ve gotten 1 tech, 1 skill, 1 mutant, 2 cosmic. The two cosmic were consecutive and most recent with no one to use them on, but the others were great. I’m sure I’ll pull a Medusa/Hype/Corvus one day, even if it is after the release of 7*s 😂

    Here is one of Kabam's many patents, more of which can be found here:

    Dynamic item obtain rate based on player progression, action, and other in-game behavior
    Patent number: 9901830
    Abstract: One aspect of the disclosure relates to altering a probability of fulfilling a game objective in a game space. The game objective may be associated with a set of potential reward items, the set of potential reward items including a first item. Probabilities of the first item from the set of potential reward items being provided to individual users as a reward for completing the game objective may be determined based on the rates of usage of the game space by the user. The probability of the first user being provided with the first item as a reward for completing the game objective may be determined based on the rate of usage of the game space by the first user.

    Inventors: Matthew Curtis, James Koh, Kellen Christopher Smalley, Michael C. Caldarone

    I think it was either YouTuber ProfHoff or RichtheMan who talked about it, and they emphasized that it was basically saying they look at what items you have and that helps determine which ones you get.

    Sorry buddy, you just got Kabammed

    Sorry buddy, you just got ****

    So is this patent basically saying they can have RNG that's not equally weighted to all outcomes? I've had my suspicions about that in the past.

    Okay lets imagine that you went to a casino and you bet that a coin would land on heads and it lands tails and does this 3 more times can you sue the casino? No they aren't in charge of physics just like Kabam isn't looking at your account and saying "Oh they don't have a good Mutant so lets rig their crystals to only have Mutant, it doesn't work like that so it is random.
    ps sorry for your terrible luck hope you get a good Mutant soon
  • Hey there, as we've mentioned before, the chances of pulling any item from a Crystal are the same as pulling any other item, unless stated otherwise on the Crystal. It is random and you have a 1/6 chance of pulling any class of Awakening Gem from an Awakening Gem Crystal each time you open one. The odds are the same for each other class as well. Hope this helps clear things up!
