I think it’s female

[YangeWenli]

yea always thought of gtb as queen bug 

[RaveMaster]

14 menblatt cards and 17 agav last night 

[yauhoilun]

I got two MTB cards this event too

I mean GTB summons like 10 MTB slaves right so statistically speaking if you aoe CC gtb and mtbs as a group and if a card were to drop your chance of Gtb card is only 10%

10%!!!! That’s a lot

10%!!!! That’s a lot

Lol how is that a lot!?

Get trolled 10 times before you get his card

I always have issue inserting pictures/photos here. 

 

Nonetheless, before maintenance today I went in solo ET with my new Gene at level 127. Got myself not 1, but 2 MVP cards!!   

 

Fallen Bishop & Beezelbulb. Both gotten on the 1st run itself. 

[Zayaan]

I got a War Axe from Turtle General. Yay.

10%!!!! That’s a lot

not if you split that 10% chance amongst a .0x card drop chance. then it becomes a nightmare.

and whether camp or any vmod or gm admits it or not, after running literally thousands of ETs i'm led to believe that it seems as if certain lesser cards have their drop rate increased just a tiny bit more than more expensive cards/mvp cards do when the event isnt in play. this statement arises due to finding certain crap cards over and over in ET when i most definitely know that i should not have found said crap card that many times if the rates were indeed true.

 

and while we're on the card chance talk, lets talk about oca's real quick and how i run about 2-4 gens per day with about 6-11 ocas found per gen and open them all, always, yet can never escape a single session without getting a condor card, MTB or FTB card, baby desert wolf card, familiar card, etc. but wait? what's this? a quick check into a DP OCA search yields uneven-ness:

Spoiler

it makes you wonder, because this is most definitely very openly listed for anyone to see on dp. people still want to say RnG as the default response, but this kind of goes against that argument. your chance for attaining crappier things first is most definitely a given, at least with OCA's. but if they openly let it be known that your chances with OCAs for a certain card are different than others, it kind of really makes you wonder how it's done with actual card drops. it might be RnG for you to attain the card, sure, but if there are things like open-windows and designated percentages for each card to be attained.. your RnG argument kinda goes out the window again.

back to topic, certain crappy cards most definitely have their rates boosted a tiny bit more. for this reason, you better be bombing gtb and other ultra pricey mvps.

lemme catch someone slipping up and trying to CC the bio5 mvp's lmfao. i'll never let you hear the end of it.

Not sure if this applies to what you are saying but wouldn't lesser cards have a higher chance of dropping because you are looking more of them? Or did I misunderstand what you are saying?

you're talking about numbers (amount of normal mob's card chance VS amount of mvp mob's card chance), im talking about quality (the value of one normal mob's card VS value of another mob's card).

there's no physical proof listed anywhere on any site of course, but i strongly feel that the lesser valued mobs have their card rates increased a bit more than higher valued mobs'. the only way to ever arrive at this conclusion yourself is to farm a single instance over and over and over again. in this case, ive been doing et since 2012 with guilds and solo runs for the past couple of years. you really start to see the patterns in small bits if you farm it solo and often enough. gradually you see small changes as they shift rates to adjust for events. it almost "feels" as if the lesser cards are permanently set on card drop event rates, and when the actual event comes into play, seems like they boost the rest of the goodies up to par with the lesser. this is just what is feels like to me though. again, i can't physically prove it. also keep in mind that im talking strictly about cards here and not about any other kind of drop.

Ah I get what you are saying.it definitely feels like that at times. Isn't it like that for mca rates? Lower tier cards have higher chance or am I making that up? I'll never get one so whatever.
