LF-4 day 2 times more LF-4

So many people do ponder the chances of LF4, they believe (and it probably is) that the chance of LF4s is below 1 percent, and on lf4 day, the chances double, but it is probably still under 1 percent in some people perspective. So who knows the chance of LF4, and does it even double on LF4 day?

What if instead of doubling the chance, we get double the LF4 from one booty? so it would be like a regular day, everything is the same but if we open up a booty and for some reason it's supposed to be a LF4, we should get two for the price of one. Basically on lf4 day, the chances are not doubled, but the LF4 are.


I.E. lets say on a regular day
LF4 are 10 percent, ammo is like 70 percent, BO2 is 10 percent, and LF3 is 10 percent.
Now on a LF4 day the LF4 is 20 percent, is Ammo percentage dropped? is BO2 percentage dropped? and is LF3 percentage dropped? or all of them? Does it even drop on LF4 day, or does it just stay the same and it lies to us? Then again, the Devs does not tell us our chances of a LF4 so we can not know. WARNING THIS IS AN EXAMPLE, don't use it as a fact.
but getting 2x the LF4 in one booty is better, the chances of other items do not decrease. I do want a skill design, and perhaps LF4 day lowers the chances too.

How about apis day? it promises us 3 times as much chance for a piece, so why not get 3 parts in 1 box? There is a likely chance that the 3 times as much is just lowering the chance of our lf4s and skill designs.

 

Booty boxes are like 95% ammo and crappy equipment, 4.5% cloak chips and other goodies, .5% between designs and LF4's. Taking away the double chance but doubling the amount would probably yield the same amount lol.

 

This is a really good idea in my opinion. (Boss)Adam[FFK] I'm not sure how often you pick up a lf4 or drone piece but some people tend to find them when they don't need it or don't want them (like in my case I'm already at 10 drones but i just about have another apis, though i don't open booty boxes on apis days, its just from me opening random boxes or for lf4 day)

Now lf4s I would assume are close to 1%, I didn't track how many lf4s ive recieved from booty boxes but I'm fairly certain its about 3-6 lf4s from booty keys using about 550 keys (which is where i get the aprox 1% and its based on my personal %s so I cant say for certain)

I also never thought of what Spear mentioned, every item should have a prescribed % so doubling or tripling a lf4 or apis parts drop % skews every other %, and/or could be a ruse/lie just to get players to spend money on uridium or those booty key sales.

Now I would like to believe them on the chances being doubled and tripled, and do - but it would be a nice convenience if we had the %s on every items %.

 

I have picked up more LF-4s on non-LF-4s days

 

best time for LF-4s are during apis day in my opinion

 

Yeah I hear everyone talking about how they pick up more lf4s not during lf4 days but rather on apis days or not even during the lf4 day

 

:l Bootyboxes on sale, received 100 bootykeys with my uri. Here's my statistics with me having no 9th or 10th drones on a zeus day:
71 ammo box (includes xenomit, logdisks, jumps, spins to gates, battery salvos, mines, and rockets)
4 apis construction box
2 zeus construction box
19 one hour boosts(mixed with ammo and others): 3 shieldregen boost 5hp boost 4 resource boost 1 xp booster 2 dmg boost 1 rep boost 2 shield boost 1 honor boost
1 LF-3 laser
1 10 hour Rep booster
1 speed gen
1 Bo2

in conclusion: 81/100 worthless junk (ty for 1000+ 3030s tho.) 6/100 parts an lf3, Bo2 and a speed gen that every has 5000 of.
This is all in one day of zeus day. I believe my LF-4 chances or perhaps even skill design ships went down for the zeus parts that were now given. whatever it may be, my chances of ammunition or crap is high. I got Bo2 and speed gen ty to murd, he was very lucky and told me to get those boxes. no one else during the whole day seemed to get much either. perhaps the boxes a programed and not random luck. its the player luck not boxes luck.

 

Meh, idc really.
Either way, if you're lowering the chance, but doubling the yield, there is no point to this.
Same number of keys will be used.

Just FYI, the point of Zeus day is just so you can get a chance to get Zeus pieces. There is no "double chance" or something to get it. Zeus days are the only times you can get a zeus piece, it's not available on normal, green booty.

You're practically asking to lower the chance of a Zeus piece, but double it, having next to no effect.
Although, with the chances lowered, but doubled, there's a risk of some people having bad luck, and it may take 2x more keys to get the parts.

Simple math.

 

Again, not what I said but sure. This is just my result of 100 booty keys, I don't want to make another thread, and I just wanted to post random results into here. and the point of lowering the chance but doubling the yield saves you more. as for above. your chances of other stuff is being stripped during zeus day, apis day, and lf4 days.
IE:
ammo and everything is 70%
LF4 5%
lf3 5%
boosters and generators 10%
pieces 10%
total of 100% u will get something in a box.
now on LF4 day they claim the chances are doubled. so lets see..
ammo and everything is 70%
LF4 10%
LF3 5%
boosters and generators 10%
pieces 10%
that adds up to 105%!
5 extra percent, does not make sense. DO must take out the 5 percent on something either its LF3, generators pieces or ammo. we end up getting less. what we get more is the chance in LF4, but less of everything else. im not saying lower the chances, Do can keep the chances the same but double the yield.
