According to a PDF chart that I found on google it will be like 9:30 Am when it actually begins for Aussies

Actually it starts at 7:30AM - 9:30AM Sydney/Melbourne time. Daylight savings can confuse us

Does anyone know if it's possible to get crappy lines on legendary tier items? Lines like wep def and accuracy?

The last cube sale had cubes that lasted only three days... They knew what they were doing.

Since they didn't put a hard fact number to pair with their use of "significantly higher", we can assume that the upped chance is relative and say that a 0.0002% higher chance is "significantly higher" than a 0.000000000005% chance.

THE CHANCES OF UPGRADING TO A NEXT TIER "ACCORDING TO THIS EVENT IS LIKE .5%" worse then a premium cube giving you 3 lines

that means that, statistically, it'd take 20-ish, max 30-40 cubes to get unique. yet many people, not just a few isolated complaints, take 50+ cubes... o.o[/quote]

Because you don't see people betching about how they got their items to unique in less than that. They post threads to feel reaffirmed that them spending more than 20 cubes from epic to unique wasn't a waste, and they won't feel that way until after an exorbitant amount of cubes. After getting an item from epic to unique in 5 cubes, I don't feel the need for others to acknowledge what I did, where if I were to spend 50, I might feel it'd be necessary for others to commend my efforts.

Yeah and my belt went epic-unique in 1 cube. It's 2% chance not 50 cubes and you get it.

You should read up on binomial distributions.

Even 50 tries is still a roughly 8% chance or so on failing 50 trials at 5% each.

Given the thousands of people (if not tens of thousands) who have tried for unique, it would be absurd to expect anything other than hundreds/thousands of people talking about it taking 30, 40, 50+ tries.

Each cube is an independent event though

2% chance each cube.

regular cubes rare-epic 5% epic unique 2%
legend cubes rare epic 10% epic unique 5% unique legend 2%

I'm willing to bet big money the chances have not significantly increased to make a difference.

Will not charge NX unless Basil is full of cube success stories that day.
Initial thought:
.05% to .052%
Oh my!

[quote=RockGodOne]i love how they never say exactly how much higher (like now has a ___% chance of going to the next tier rank).
So basically they can make any number they want (as long as it is higher) and say its "significantly" higher.
Ya so im gonna go ahead and say they chance is raised by like 0.001% (lol) SO GO BUY CRAPTONS OF NX

Oh, Nexon [/quote]

ikr? It's obviously a swindle. c:
