    You have no idea how cranky I am. How bad must my luck be, or how crap must their idea of RNG be, that I end up with 4 of the same useless cross dressing merc.
    I've put in a petition and if that does not end well, I will try my luck and lodge a claim with PayPal.

    That would be an exceedingly douchey thing to do. Yes they should fix the appearance issue but trying to reverse the charges simply because you gambled and didn't like the outcome is somewhere between theft and fraud. Don't be that sort of person.

    If you want to gamble, gamble, if you don't, then don't. No one is forcing anyone to buy these.
  5. Wintir Active Member

    aye, gamble yes...but when you approach a roulette wheel at a casino, do you expect to roll the SAME number 4x in a row?

    4 welfare, tranny mercs and I be ticked off also.

    Really? A box of three mercs, each one the same, and I'm the ******? Really?
    If they were heirloom, no problem. BUT THEY ARE NO FREAKING TRADE.
    Go roll a dice, come back and let me know how long it takes you to get the same number, FOUR TIMES IN A ROW.

    The only ****** is DBG as far as I'm concerned.

    Alrighty, douchey is ok but ****** is not. Lolz at your filter DBG. Idiots.

    I agree. But honestly who would of thunk I'd get four the same. Thing is, I would NEVER buy another one. Only real loser here is DBG.

    I don't know how many mercs there are, but a die has six sides, six possible outcomes. Rolling a 1 four times in a row would be a 1 in 1,296 chance (6x6x6x6).

    Math geeks FTW

    P.S. I didn't buy any.

    Not only did she get the same crate 2 times in a row; she got 3 of the exact same items in each crate, which means that dice row was even MORE complex than 1 in 1,296.

    Were there 9 possible mercs she could have received? then do the math on that.

    What Strings & Grun said ;)
  10. Ndiar Active Member

    If I am correct there are 11 possible mercenaries from a crate. There are weighted to the 5 common mercenaries so you would have to estimate the algorithm of getting common, uncommon, rare and ultra-rare mercs as it will not be straight math. I was good in math at one time but that was 20+ years ago.

    BUYER BEWARE.
    DBG did NOTHING to rectify me getting four of the SAME MERC IN A ROW. So my advice, don't buy the bloody things. Virtual goods and all, they could of just changed over even two of the mercs, but nup. Well shove your Ca$h shop.
    I honestly think that is beyond pathetic.
    And the chances that you'd get the same number four times in a row.
    Four independent events, each with probability 1/6, so the combined probability of all 4 events occurring is (1/6)(1/6)(1/6)(1/6) or (1/6)^4, which is 1/1296.

    Two accounts cancelled. **** you DBG.

    You want to know what made it even worse? I only just got a response from the almost non existent customer service, to tell me they could do nothing. A week. Well done DBG, well done.

    Honestly no one reply with boo hoo they've cut down on staff. Tbh that is not my problem. Our subs have / had not been decreased, so I still expect the same standard of service.

    What goes around comes around. Your choice to spend the money that amount of times.
    Current customer service is lousy, I agree.

    Hey Charlice, can you go ahead and drop me a line at KVALLEE@daybreakgames.com ?

    I will see if we can do something to make it better.

    Thank you very much Kander. I'll do that now.
  15. ZUES Well-Known Member

    This happened to me as well. Multiple versions of the same merc. I sold them for status. $50 on mercs and they are no better than any merc you can get in qeynos or freeport. They just took stamper and a monk merc and put illusions on them. I was very disappointed. Live and learn.

    So...any word on those Scout/Mage mercs?
  17. Charlice Well-Known Member

    Three more words. Kander is king.

    ^
    And how about giving the healer mercs a water breathing spell? Got me stuffed why they don't all have one.

    Can you share what happened? Is there a general fix? Or did you just get your money back? Not too interested in falling into the same pit you did. I have yet to purchase one of these crates and still hesitate to do so unless DBG has come up with a fix?
  19. Bludgeoner New Member

    My guess, they gave the person a merc of their choice. At the same time, I highly doubt anyone else will get similar treatment.

    After all, it is a gamble, and they didn't put up a post saying, "if you didn't like the merc you got from the crate, give us a tell and we will switch it out for you." Otherwise, they would have just added them to a loyalty merchant or DBC store for purchase, so you could select the exact one you want.

    Who would buy the common ones... lol
  20. Wintir Active Member

    Dat's wut I'm talkin' ! Well done, Kander. Now about that nasty blue malice shard drop rate in AS solo instances... /cough

    So, Charlice, what did you get as a better merc(s)?

    Hopefully, at least one that didn't look like Bruce Caitlyn Jenner this time.;)
