Banquet is looking exciting….but…

The banquet is looking great except for three things. I don’t think I’m alone here…may be though. Lags made some comments on this in a video yesterday that I thought should be pointed out.

1. The distribution of shards isn’t very linear. It starts really low and goes really high. But the gap is from 1500 to 15000. Same for the titan distribution - 500 to 20000. I realize you have to put RNG in the drops but that’s a very large spread.
2. The low amount of shards. I understand there have to be low drops but 1500 for 7 star shards and 500 for titan? I think it should be 2500 and 1500 (at least).
3. The amount of T4 Basic and 7 star AG shards is quite low. The T4 basic is just a sliver because I assume that it will take 50k+ shards to form and they give us 630. For 7 star awakening gems it takes 10k and you could be getting 500 shards. Just seems a bit low for the value of the crystals.

    That's how gambling works.

    You mean t7b. That's quite normal for banquet and the new highest rarity Catalyst. It's always been that way. Same with 7* gems. Those are quite new as well.

    Yeah my b. Typo

    My main point out was the Crystal shard amounts and how they aren’t linear. I know it’s not a one-off opinion since lags and other streamers have said it to. As far as those rarer items, I understand that more

    They haven't released drop rates.

    Even still, there's a reason it's always like that. They are supplemental to what you already get from monthly content. It makes sense that you'd get small amounts or get lucky and hit 1 big one.

    That's a good reminder. I was actually looking at the 2023 rates to get some idea; I assume 0.3% for the T7B drops is probably the most generous estimate. So 1 in roughly 333 Superior Crystals.

    Even still, the minimums should be 2500 on 7 star basic shards and 1500-2000 for titan. It’s just an opinion. That’s where I agreed with the streamers’ points of view

    This image is a literal joke even in 2023 December economy. Can't believe I spent 4k units on this sh*t (although pulled a 7* prof x who helped a lot so it's a W)
