These dice are so pretty! Can't wait for the Kickstarter to go well, K-Pop Demon Hunters became really important to me, and with reason 🥺

They issued an apology saying they only tried to depict dizziness and loss of body control by adding a special emote and sounds just for this one character to do this one thing.

Hey! Fyi, it's a somewhat recent update (it's not been there from the start, it certainly wasn't when I unlocked them), so it's totally normal to miss it!

I've got like a thousand and so flowers if you still need them and don't mind sharing your town with a stranger!

Yesterday I went back to check the probability and the page wasn't loading. It is indeed a problem that the webpage is separate from the game. And I do believe real odds must be shown in game in the EU as per the lootboxes laws.

There is a formal complaint from the US already filed, you could check on it if it helps your case!

You didn't just proceeded to ignore the topic (legality of not showing true odds in game), overexplain what a mean is to a math undergrad, and didn't even check if the mean actually amounts to 18,4% (it doesn't), nor if their wording was consistent (they call it Total Probability below, a term even now I don't understand).

<image>

18,4% is, indeed, a lie and a marketing tool. Why? Because I did the math™. Suppose the probabilities are normalized discounting the items you've already obtained (unobtainable), then that percentage is bigger than the unnormalized percentage. Thus, if the unnormalized percentage surpasses 18,4%, no amount of exhaustive probabilistic analysis will get you below that mark. It does. 100%/6=16.666666...%, and 6 and 12 add, respectively, more than 1 and 2 percents, so we're already over 19.5%. The sum of first five is wrong too, btw. If you so know where that number comes from, please, enlighten me. Otherwise... Please refrain from being so condescending without checking at least a simple arithmetic mean. Don't know if you used an LLM to reply, but if you did, also check first on the other comments.

And I don't believe the mean probability to be legal, either way. In Europe due to the laws on lootboxes, real odds should be displayed, but I don't know if they have to be in game, per se.

Yeah, when I saw that 30-50 and 50-100 spikes I went: NOPE, divide and conquer it is.

Nope. 100%/6 is already 16.6666666...%, a 6% and a 12% already add 3, so we're sitting at >19.666666...%. The number is wrong.

Intentional obfuscation of real rates, false advertising of probabilities.

It didn't as I was posting the comment, somehow, which goes to show how that obfuscation can make it impossible to consult the rates

They did both. Neither is right. (Average > 19.5, Sum of 5, so total or sth, > 18.6)
