    I'm so tired of EVERYTHING these days being gambling. This is a video game, if the odds for Ballin packs are 1 in 15 and I open 20 of them I [censored] well should get a diamond. These aren't scratch tickets, it's just code in a video game. Stop being so [censored] cheap with everything.
    The odds listed are not accurate whatsoever.

    @ryguy034753_XBL That’s not how odds work. If you flip a coin 20 times, it’s probably not going to be 10-10. It’s 1:50 every time you open a pack. You could get 2 in a row or you could go 0-200. Both have happened to me.

    That’s not exactly how probabilities work (though with twenty packs at 1-out-of-15 odds you’re about three times as likely to get one or more as not to get any - sorry you got the wrong side of that)

    @GoozeFn_PSN as I said this is a video game, it's just coding.
    I also asked you not to reply to my posts anymore because you seem to love to be devils advocate about every topic.

    @ryguy034753_XBL You can block me. You can keep asking, but I’m not going to remember not to respond to you. I rarely even look at who it is I’m responding to. That’s a you problem. Sorry not sorry you don’t like hearing the truth. It would be pretty anti climactic if we knew when we were getting a diamond or not. That’s a terrible idea.

    @GoozeFn_PSN maybe you could go outside and not reply to every single comment in these forums.
    You have made 2.8k posts on here, that's CRAZY.

    There’s a difference between being the devils advocate and correcting factually incorrect assumptions. You clearly don’t know how odds work, and you were called out on it by about five different people.

    @JDHalfrack_PSN you clearly don't know that this a video game. This isn't a coin, yes I'm aware of how odds work with a physical item. This is video game code, what are you not understanding?

    I dont know if you're aware but multiple video games have been sued for lying or having faulty in game odds. In Canada EA was successfully sued for lying about their odds. Valve was sued successfully for lying about odds in counter strike loot boxes.

    So how do you know the odds they list are correct? How do you know they aren't lying about the odds? I personally have not had anywhere near the odds they list and I normally wait to open my packs til I have around 100 of them.

    I dunno about you but I'd rather not have gambling. Just give me 1 diamond every 50 packs like it says.

    @ryguy034753_XBL what I think you’re asking for is the pity mechanic that some gacha games have, which, yeah, would be nice

    I cannot really hate on the op for feeling this way. Especially when we have cheats grinding thousands of packs using mini seasons mods to play mini seasons for them. I think we are missing it. Maybe pack odds should be better. Thousands of players are getting free packs now for cheating and doing nothing. We have a monster sized issue now. This will turn alot of players away.

    Go play gatcha games then and wait for the pity timer or bad luck protection. SDS publishes their odds, you can choose to play along or not. Btw, to get a true feel for whether the 2% published rate is accurate, you’d need to open and track around 100k packs.

    You clearly don't know how odds work. I opened 8 ballin packs last night pulled 6 diamonds. Sorry for screwing you over bud luck was on my side this time and not on yours. Doesn't say guaranteed x amount of diamonds per x amount of packs per IP address. It's overall odds..you got shafted someone pulled two 90 overalls out of the same singular ballin pack. It's a lottery nothing guaranteed

    It’s bold to assume the only working part of the game is the odds in packs.

    Going 20 ballins without pulling a diamond is a 25% chance. Not great luck, but the rant is not justified for that

    If you want to say odds are too low, I'll support you all day. Packs are not really "gambling" in this game, because noone would go to a casino with these odds. We all know the house gets an edge when you gamble - but the edge can't be this big, or its silly

    Ok SDS is the greatest most competent gaming company of all time and they would NEVER screw over the people buying their games to make more money.

    Just the same as valve, EA, and several smaller gaming companies would never do that... oh wait they did do that.

    AMEN! Tell it, brother, tell it!

    Think on it this way, what would the reaction be if the team that won their fourth game of the World Series was -- vice handed the big trophy -- was instead invited to "spin the wheel of trophies!"

    Oh tough luck guys! You win a case of oranges! Better luck next time!

    Here is the way it should be ... for any DD competition, either online or versus the CPU, there should be one card, or at least one level of card, that is advertised as the reward. Win the competition, you get that card. No games, no odds, no controversy.

    Simplicity has a value all its own and yet SDS seems obsessed with hiding everything behind odds that may or may not even be accurate. SDS has morphed Churchill's description of the Soviet Union -- "a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma."

    You can literally see the odds for pulling every single individual player from every single pack in the game. SDS could not be more transparent about what is in their packs
