I suppose you would prefer pre patch where it was half those orpheus instead ? You still are benefiting from more medals for troops even if it isn’t the low chance bonus you were hoping for it is still a net win for you.

My story summed up. Talk about a torture chamber.

1 extra medal per 200 chests is not a win, it’s a participation trophy. Made out of paper mache. And written with crayons.
A win would be an actual drop percentage of 9 to 11%. Not .035%.
And RNG is not going to even this out. I would need 33 mimics in the next 200 chests just to get back to 10%. That’s a 16.5 % for those 200 chests.
Anyone want to put a wager on that?

It is extra medals beyond what you would be getting without mimics having been added though… how is that a bad thing?

Open 40 boss chests yesterday, got 5 mimic / 2 Hoard mimic chests.
My total is “441 / 49 / 3” now.

Because in those 200 chests, if just 15 of them gave three instead of two tokens…I’d have the EXACT same amount even if there were no mimics.
If you’re going to have a mechanic to help players get tokens/medals, make sure the appearance rate is high enough to actually be useful. And don’t tie a mythic drop with the same drop rates as lottery scratch off tickets.

But 2-3 tokens is the always expected result at difficulty 12 explore. You didn’t get 3 tokens each you got 2 each and you did get bonus tokens on top of that. I know the appearance rate is low and even more so for a chance at the mythic and yeah it doesn’t help you get a lot of extra tokens but compared to a couple months ago you still are getting more tokens. Do you think if it was pre patch you would have gotten 3 tokens from each instead and you somehow got hurt by the mimics being a possible outcome? I think that you got some bad luck with getting 2 tokens each time and got a small boost thanks to the mimics being present.
I think the problem is that players have a different expectation than the reality. We do get more tokens now as a result there is a very small chance at getting a mythic. Many expect they are supposed to get the mythic drop in a short amount of time and that they are suddenly going to be getting lots of extra tokens but it does not seem that it was designed this way. Instead we can take it as it is a small token boost with new additional encounter possibilities and you might get luck to one day have the Hoard Mimic mythic drop for you.

I agree with @havok6669. You are only hurting yourself if you have any expectations from RNG that doesn’t self compensate according to historic data. Grinding doesn’t change the chance of success, but for some reason players cant seem to grasp the concept of RNG. I expect explore to be a flat rate humdrum boss chest every time, despite what it says on the load up screen. Its a shabby troop and a pure luck achievement, neither of which concern me in the least. I get that some players (previously 100% G score) are going apoplectic with a pure RNG achievement crashing the completionist party but self stressing won’t help the cause. Try and forget the stuff you can’t control and dont let FOMO become an OCD. The game is becoming more random and its possible that future achievements may also be RNG so now is a good time to switch off, chill and play cos you want too.

I mean it’s RNG if it will work even remotely correctly or not. As demonstrated this week…again.
