Energy Crate Chances

For the Robux Energy Crate, it says +4.8%, not x4.8%. This obviously interprets to adding a 4.8% to the 0.1% chance of getting a mythical weapon out of the energy crate. Thus making this a 4.9% chance of getting a mythical weapon out of an energy crate, so almost 1 in 20 out of the Robux energy crates. However, I know this game is shady and greedy as fuck, so I wanted to know if this is actually true, or if its 0.001x+0.048, if so that is flat out a lie and is clearly an attempt to manipulate the community.

it's not a lie, it's just not additive, it's multiplicative

how do you check the chances?

Looks like a + sign to me

rapuā€¢4d ago
the + sign doesn't mean anything here
nismo
nismoOPā€¢4d ago
Damn so why did they put it there
rapu
rapuā€¢4d ago
because it's a 4.8% increase to your luck
nismo
nismoOPā€¢4d ago
Okay so the original luck is 0.1%

Must have been a mistake by the developers, I think they meant multiply by 4.8%!
rapu
rapuā€¢4d ago
"multiply by 4.8%" yeah i'm outta here
nismo
nismoOPā€¢4d ago

rapu
rapuā€¢4d ago
the base chance can be represented as 100% in which the luck multiplier is 100% + 4.8% = 104.8% is it really that hard to understand
nismo
nismoOPā€¢4d ago
If the original luck is 0.1%, and they have a giant sign on the front of the box that a says +4.8%, I would think most people would say it is just simply adding like it says on the box. If they said it was 4.9% of 0.1 that would be more understandable, once again just a simple mistake by the devs, I'm sure they didn't mean it. If you spend 20,000 Robux on some dead games pay to win crates, most people would expect the pity to go a lot more up than from 0.1 to 0.1049
rapu
rapuā€¢4d ago
if you expect drop rates to increase that dramatically, you have no one to blame but yourself though i admit that the playerbase for this game can definitely be susceptible to stupidity like so
nismo
nismoOPā€¢4d ago
If I open a Robux Energy Crate, how much will the pity increase per crate? I opened about 10 and I'm almost at 5% so, its around 0.5%. According to you that would translate to 0.0005%
rapu
rapuā€¢4d ago
nope, according to me that would be 0.005% that is how it is
nismo
nismoOPā€¢4d ago
Okay so
rapu
rapuā€¢4d ago
that is how it will be
nismo
nismoOPā€¢4d ago
it would take you 19980 crates to get to 100%?
rapu
rapuā€¢4d ago
i'll get back to you with the proper math in just a moment because your math is way off
nismo
nismoOPā€¢4d ago
Alright, thank you
rapu

like vastly

rapu
rapuā€¢4d ago
yup that's not how it works
nismo
nismoOPā€¢4d ago
You just said each crate increases your pity by 0.005
rapu
rapuā€¢4d ago
have you never done math?
nismo
nismoOPā€¢4d ago
Okay, Im clearly not getting something here. Lets see your math then ig :Shrug:
rapu
rapuā€¢4d ago
do you know how division with a negative number works
nismo
nismoOPā€¢4d ago
Look, you said each crate is equivalent to a 0.005 increase, so I took that and added it until I got to 100% And I mean a 100% chance of you actually getting the item not a + 100% increase of pity
rapu
rapuā€¢4d ago
yeah that's not how probability works in math
nismo
nismoOPā€¢4d ago
Can you do the math then please?
rapu
rapuā€¢4d ago
a 100% increase in the multiplier is 500 boxes since it increases by 0.2% per crate anyways let me do the proper math
nismo
nismoOPā€¢4d ago
Ight
rapu
rapuā€¢4d ago
also reaching a true 100% chance is not possible
nismo
nismoOPā€¢4d ago
Im well aware of that.
rapu
rapuā€¢4d ago
anyways i'm not doing any graph shit so this'll be messy but it'll get the point across
nismo
nismoOPā€¢4d ago
You dont need to its just adding really
rapu
rapuā€¢4d ago
so these numbers aren't accurate it's not adding you'd need to define a curve to account for the increase in probability per crate and i am not pulling out a graph calculator, fuck that shit
rapu
rapuā€¢4d ago
that won't work would need a proper calculator like a TI-nspire CX CAS II used to have one but i don't have one anymore no longer in any engineering shit so it's useless to me
nismo
nismoOPā€¢4d ago
So the current chances of getting the item is 0.1 If you open 500 cases, the pity is now 100%, which translates to the item being a 0.2 chance of getting
rapu
rapuā€¢4d ago
pulled up the correct formula and needless to say i'm not doing this shit so it'll be crude unless you want to do this one

i am not touching that too much effort for me right now
nismo
nismoOPā€¢4d ago
Ill solve it give me a second hold on AI will come in real handy
rapu
rapuā€¢4d ago
probably shouldn't have AI do that math
nismo
nismoOPā€¢4d ago
What could possibly go wrong Just gives me alot of random numbers
rapu
rapuā€¢4d ago
do you know how to read that equation what'd it give you
nismo
nismoOPā€¢4d ago
0 . 5 9 3 4 0 3 0 3 4 0 2 5 0 4 0 0 9 My point is, is that the pity increases so little, its impossible to notice without spending hundreds of thousands of Robux. The best and easiest thing you could do is ask a lot of people who got mythic how many cases it took them and average it out.
rapu
rapuā€¢4d ago
fucking done
nismo
nismoOPā€¢4d ago
If someone got it from lets say, 20 Robux crates then, Multiply the answer by 20 if you want to translate that to in game money crates
rapu
rapuā€¢4d ago
you'll reach 95% probability of a mythical at approx. 320 attempts aaaand what's that like uh 128k robux i think you're welcome can we call it quits now
nismo
nismoOPā€¢4d ago
Then how the hell did someone spend 600,000 Robux and didnt get anything šŸ’€
rapu
rapuā€¢4d ago
the rates have changed at some points perhaps that was when the rates were at their lowest
nismo
nismoOPā€¢4d ago
This is with Robux cases right?
rapu
rapuā€¢4d ago
yes
nismo
nismoOPā€¢4d ago
So 6400 Normal crates
rapu
rapuā€¢4d ago
yeah the normal crates are mega scuffed
nismo
nismoOPā€¢4d ago
32,000,000 cash :stare:
rapu
rapuā€¢4d ago
i'm not sure what the increase is per crate on normals
nismo
nismoOPā€¢4d ago
640,000 kills
rapu
rapuā€¢4d ago
let me check
nismo
nismoOPā€¢4d ago
Oh my god its worse I forgot they increase way less too
rapu
rapuā€¢4d ago
it's 0.12% per crate for credits cases let me do the math for credits cases while i'm at it

i must've fucked up hold on this can't be right
nismo

Spit it out
rapu

wait let me double check i have to have had fucked up okay you'll reach 95% probability at 8713 boxes opened

Dude its not even pay to win nobody can afford that its just a cash grab, a scam cooperation
rapu
rapuā€¢4d ago
128k robux? it's not that much
nismo
nismoOPā€¢4d ago
That is a full gaming computer
rapu
rapuā€¢4d ago
oh yeah totally
nismo
nismoOPā€¢4d ago
On a digital sword
rapu
rapuā€¢4d ago
but most people with that kind of robux make it through UGC sales or experiences now this has me wondering whether i should drop 128k on getting a mythical probably not worth it since that's better off devexed
nismo
nismoOPā€¢4d ago
Dont do it lmao, I didnt know how to see the actual chances because they are so well hidden. I wasted like 15,000 on it (which is a ton for me)
rapu
rapuā€¢4d ago
anyways nice nice very productive thread
nismo
nismoOPā€¢4d ago
Would you say your good at the game or nah, cause there are levels of max levels, some are way better than others
rapu
rapuā€¢4d ago
i'm good enough i don't do any competitive things but i do win most of my fights and that's enough for me
nismo
nismoOPā€¢4d ago
You gotta teach me how to play gang Im not that good Do you know the chances of getting it from AFK rewards? I actually have a friend who did.
rapu
rapuā€¢4d ago
the afk rewards one is a temporary one anyways but i don't know
nismo
nismoOPā€¢4d ago
Are you on CW rn
rapu

not rn
nismo
nismoOPā€¢3d ago
Could you show me some ingame tips when ur on?
rapu
rapuā€¢3d ago
no
ipc
ipcā€¢3d ago
Chances of getting it in the AFK place are the same as credit cases. (0.001%) But with no luck scales or boosts.
rapu
rapuā€¢3d ago
@nismo i fucked up the math it's fixed now though i didn't account for apparently the robux case capping at +100% and creds at +600%
rapu
rapuā€¢3d ago
No description
nismo
nismoOPā€¢3d ago
100% chance of getting it or, 100% increase 0.2%? Credits would be a maximum of a 6x increase?
rapu
rapuā€¢3d ago
robux case max chance 0.2% and credits 0.007%
nismo
nismoOPā€¢3d ago
2,247 straight days of playing combat warriors, assuming in that time you can get 4,500,000 kills.
rapu
rapuā€¢3d ago
good game
nismo
nismoOPā€¢3d ago
very reasonable. Infact I think its too easy tell the devs to buff that Akso by the way Robux case starts out as (0.1%)
rapu
rapuā€¢3d ago
sĆ­
nismo
nismoOPā€¢3d ago
It also says it is 20x more common than the normal case
rapu
rapuā€¢3d ago
yeah that's just a flat out lie lol
nismo
nismoOPā€¢3d ago
Bro is that not illegal šŸ’€
rapu
rapuā€¢3d ago
it might be. not sure.
nismo
nismoOPā€¢3d ago
Ight well, either way Going off of that, the base chance on the normal case is 0.005 Maximum is 0.03% at 600% This if true, would violate, Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Regulations (United States), State Consumer Protection Laws (United States), EU Consumer Protection Laws, Loot Box-Specific Regulations(no idea wtf this is), and Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) lmao I forgot Civil Fraud my bad
edg
edgā€¢3d ago
its ok man you do not need a mythical this bad
ipc
ipcā€¢3d ago
I do We all do I remember that (Without any luck scaling, boosts, etc), you would need approximately 1000 Robux crates (300000 R$ or 3k USD$) to according to statistics get a "guaranteed" mythic This could be wrong tho, since swen fucked up the crate system and wasn't very clear about it But that's the closest I could get
nismo
nismoOPā€¢2d ago
They should really add a expensive, but still a flat price.

100k aether

100k aether is nothing

ok level 888 not everybody is there yet actually 10k aether took me like 2 weeks the price still needs to be in a decent range
