NO! Every single time the chance is 20%. It doesn't matter how many times you try, you don't have a 40%, 120% or any other chance. EACH TIME IT IS STILL 20%. NEVER ANY MORE. This is a basic random chance fact that you are both getting completely wrong. It is a common fallacy, and it is wrong every time someone tries to pass it as fact. Your odds never go up, no matter how many times you try.I understand what he's trying to say...he knows it's 20% every battle but he's giving percentages based on a higher number over a longer time span. He figures in 100 battles he will win twenty and the more battles he fights without the win the greater his chances are to win one....
No. For the first 10 battles, you have a 20% chance each time. Then you're done until you collect from the Kraken again. Read what it says in the GB's description. And it only applies to the first wave of a two-wave battle. So much misinformation!edited out incorrect information (my apologies)
I was messing around in GE and with a 29% chance got 2 activation's out of 5 battles. The animation is pretty cool!!!
What a great convo!! Haha. 20% means of x10.. u hit the jackpot twice. 200% of 10 means u it the jackpot x 20 of 10. Accumulative % Rolling a 5, on a 5 sided dye...w/ 5 rolls...that be...20% chance..

It works, to

This is the core of your mistake. The probability never increases. Period.I am trying to add in the probabilities of something happening if it didn't happen over and over again then the probability increases.
Wait I just tried the dye roll. I hit the 5, 20% of the timeNO! Every single time the chance is 20%. It doesn't matter how many times you try, you don't have a 40%, 120% or any other chance.

the x10 (or what ever number) is the total number of times it will activate successfully.
No, he isn't. His first mention of 200% chance was after only 10 encounters. That is not a large amount of battles, nor is it even the "law of averages". It is simply a misunderstanding of random chance at its core. And it's not at all the same conversation Ardak and SJS had, not even close. The trouble with the view both of you have is that you both think the % changes if you have more chances. It doesn't. You ignore the fact that the balance to that 20% chance of killing a unit, is an 80% chance of not killing a unit. So, by his logic, after 10 battles he would have an 800% chance of not killing a unit. 800% vs 200% is still the same ratio and percentage breakdown as an individual encounter. 1 in 5 chance. Every single time. Unaffected by the previous or subsequent battles.Mr. Longshanks, I said I understood what Purps is saying...he is using the law of averages for a large amount of battles and using percentages to show that probability. He knows it's 20% per battle and isn't using a single event probability model for his outcome. This was the same conversation Ardak and SJS had about the baskets in the Fall event....wait, maybe I shouldn't have brought that up...
It is 10 battles, each having 20% chance of killing an enemy unit before the battle starts. Then you have to collect again from the Kraken before you get another 10 battle chances. And it is only in effect on the first wave of a two wave battle. This is clearly spelled out in the Kraken's description. It is not an unlimited number of chances until you have succeeded 10 times.OK now I have a headache Is it 10 encounters that will activate per day or 10 attempts per day to get the encounter. I wish I could read things the same way others read things.
At least you got it to work in GE so guess I was just unlucky in GE.

OK now I have a headache
So you will be the judge of open conversations you have on the public forums, Ardak...?
It is 10 battles, each having 20% chance of killing an enemy unit before the battle starts.
Mr. Longshanks, please reread the feedback thread where SJS argues that if Ardak wished
