Good on you for sharing this with the community. It's videos like these that will hopefully get enough exposure to pressure the company and improve its practices moving forward. As long as the company learns from it's mistakes and genuinely strives to do better, the community will support them and the promising direction in which this game is heading.

Yeah tested with 8 boxes, after finding the patterns you can accurately predicted what you are going to get if you open right side top down through left side top down 95% of the time. So open the first pack and find the rare and move down the list. It was then discovered when a legendary should be there they sometimes skip them and if thats the case you will get the next rare in line. Example: Pre Vizsla is followed by Poe but if they skipped it then the next card you will get is Triple Dark Raid. They seem to purposely make cards like Poe a harder hit than other legendary's from what I saw. Still missing where some come in on the line but the list is as follows from what I have recorded, so essentially open pack and find card and move downward.

It's normal for this to happen to Shadows of the Galaxy. When the pattern for Spark of Rebellion was discovered, Shadows of the Galaxy was already in production, so it was too late to change how the packs were being "randomized". Now if this happens with Set 3, or the rerelease of Set 1, that's all on FFG.

This is an obvious and glaring issue that needs to be addressed for the long term health of the game. Unfortunately every time it's been brought up, so far, it's largely met with apathy or dismissal from the community. You'll see the same group jump into every chat or comment section to defend, deflect or deny from the core issues at hand. At the end of the day this level of collation error just isn't healthy for the game on any level.

First off no set is truly randomized. The top two tiers (in this series legendary and rare) have sub tiers of rarity and they make sure there is distribution of those tiers. Now I get the pack order is what is wrong, they shouldn’t be in the same order but many many tcg clump the same rares in the same boxes or the same legendarys or mythics in the same boxes to give equal distribution of certain cards. It looks like the packs just weren’t mixed once sorted into set distribution. But again no set is truly random in how it’s put in boxes.
@iopentcgs
Ай бұрын
No true randomization does not mean you can't get good randomization, and this is not good randomization. You are correct that the major flaw here is that the packs themselves should have been more randomized in the boxes, but when written with the "there is no true randomization" comment it sounds like this is a forgivable thing like it's impossible to do. It's not! If it was, why does this not happen in any other major modern TCG? When it was just the Ls, a lot of people said this same thing. "There is no true randomization". Now that it's the Rares as well, it's still this comment. What's next? In set 3, we are going to open boxes that are the exact clone of one another and people are still going to say it's fine? (Which btw, I've already seen 2 pairs of cloned boxes in my 24 boxes logged. It's already happening with the base Rs+Ls. And it happened in Set 1 as well)
@erikpatterson120
Ай бұрын
@@iopentcgs my point is randomization means that the rares in a box could be any set of rares, all outcomes possible . If boxes were truly random then you would have the potential to get boxes that have the same rare repeated in every pack in a single box. That would be worse than what you see. So for instance when I see you open a box of Sorcery all 6 or 7 of your Unique have the potential to be Philosophers Stones, but we know that’s not possible cause there is purposeful collation in what cards go together in which box. Most sets in gaming and sports have track printing and cards are assigned in groups with each other. The problem is before they are place in the box the packs weren’t shuffled and then placed in the box. I don’t how many times I’ve opened boxes of Magic or FaB or older sports cards and seen the same selection of 3 or 4 rares in boxes.
@iopentcgs
Ай бұрын
You are correct that there is a middle ground that most TCGs are near when it comes to randomization. FAB even utilizes short printing certain pitch colors of a common to balance out draft. My point is only that you can argue in extremes if you want, which “there is no true randomization” is doing, but it’s also clear that having exact distribution at the cost of knowing exactly what cards can show up is bad too.

@@iopentcgs if the packs were shuffled prior to being put in the box then no one would have noticed this trend. The clumps they are in wouldn’t have been able to be mapped. Plus the fact is most people open full boxes and don’t open single packs unless it’s draft and most drafts I have been in the packs are shuffled in the box before handed out to protect any sort of mapping. The items you got in the box seemed well collated and not many dups. Again it’s a pack shuffling issue which too me isn’t huge since most people open only boxes. Plus LGS I go to also always shuffle the packs in the box before setting them out for sale by pack.
@iopentcgs
Ай бұрын
“If the problem was solved before hand, nobody would have noticed the problem”. Yes the packs should have been shuffled. Not just the ones in each box but they should have been shuffled more broadly as well. That’s the problem. Now whether that matters to you is up to you. Depending on the type of person you are, this might not even affect you. But I recognize that there are other types of people who aren’t me where this does negatively affect their experience. Heck, nobody really even mentions how bad this is for draft if they don’t shuffle beforehand. I know we won’t agree on the end, but I appreciate your thoughts!
