Khevar Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 This exactly. No desire whatsoever to ride around on an anachronistic Art Deco scooter or a gorilla in desperate need of dental care. Heh. You just inspired me to google "Rancor Dentist" and this came up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beasthunt Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I normally have the luck of a 1 legged chained man in a race but for some reason and somehow that I will never be able to explain, I got a Rancor within my first 150k credits. I had actually even put it out of my mind that I would get a rancor and was hoping for the black speeder. Blam, rancor. Still in shock. Shame this stuff cannot be unlocked in collections. This game has a real issue with sharing with other toons. I have 21 toons over two servers. I do not have enough credits or real dollars to win rancors for the entire lot of them.

TravelersWay Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 14 hours over the last 3 days. I've only purchased the kingpin tokens (20), but have bought the smuggler tokens to earn the kingpin tokens. I have spent 4 million credits and I have all of the achievements except for the Rancor mount. I'm sorta getting frustrated. Does anyone know what the odds are to win a rancor? Can't help you with the Rancor odds, but it is my understanding that it is more financially sound to purchase and play only the Smuggler tokens/machines to earn the tokens for kingpin (unless something changed between PTS and live). Other than that, there is a lot that frustrates me about the game, and the special events that BW runs for it. I pretty much ignore all of them know and just play the "regular" stuff.

Heal-To-Full Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 (edited) 14 hours over the last 3 days. I've only purchased the kingpin tokens (20), but have bought the smuggler tokens to earn the kingpin tokens. I have spent 4 million credits and I have all of the achievements except for the Rancor mount. Pretty much everyone I know has a rancor. If anything, I'd say the odds are a little too high, it's a little too easy. But then making it a little harder would only make it more frustrating for the less lucky, while pretty much everyone would still have it. And making it much harder... not with rancors now in packs. I'm sorta getting frustrated. Does anyone know what the odds are to win a rancor? After everything is accounted for, the average expense is ~20 million if you play with Kingpin tokens or ~2.5 million if you only buy Smuggler tokens. So, at ~3.1 million in Smug tokens equivalent, you're so far as little as 1 standard deviation away from the norm. The outcome of previous rolls has no effect on the outcome of next rolls, so you're still 2,400 smuggler tokens away from a rancor. However much you spend, you'll be 2,400 tokens away, until you win, of course, then you're 0 tokens away. Just putting this probability theory bit out there in case people get it wrong.

Sangrar Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 (edited) well, I know its frustrating from personal experience, I mean even with the Feeling Lucky buff its only a .09% chance drop rate. But then again, a rare item is not rare if everyone can get it in 10 seconds, and people are still winning it, I was on Nar myself trying for it, in one hour 3 guys won it, we all congratulated them but hated one who had only been there a few minutes and won! Point is that the drop rate now is good where it is, and luck is a b**** Edited June 17, 2014 by Sangrar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertthebard Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 It is about luck, but the luck is in the result, not the person. Nope. If I had to roll against my companions for drops, I'd never get anything. This is a very real occurrence, across multiple games. RNG hates me, and always has.

Does anyone know what the odds are to win a rancor? for every person I see lamenting not getting a Rancor yet (in game) I see at least as many lamenting not getting the Vectron or slot machine explosion.... while bragging that they have multiple Rancors already.

Hebruixe Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Considering the chance of getting a rancor is less than 1%, you should expect to use more than 100 kingpin coins before getting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluejayoo Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I spent about 100k and got the Sniper Rifle and the Canon, which is all I wanted. I like the fact that the Rancor is so rare. It's a good thing that there are extremely hard to get items in the game. When you see one, you think "wow, I saw a unicorn". Of course this means I will never get one, but that's fine.
