DoD Pack Stats

There's always a pack opening thread right after new expansion for people to gloat/complain/commiserate, so I was curious if anyone else who's as data-driven as I am bothers to track their progress over the course of an expansion? Usually about a month out from the new expansion I stop buying packs at a "final" legendary and start hoarding gold for the next one, and I got that final Legendary today (Bandersmosh btw...cool...) so since I'm done getting DoD packs I thought I'd dump my stats here and if anyone else wants to chime in, get on in here:

233 DoD Packs opened 

11 Legendaries - so Avg. 1 per 21.4 packs. Shortest time between pulls was 4 packs (which was NOT the one from your first 10 - that one came at pack 9...), longest was 37. 1 was Golden.

58 Epics - so Avg. 1 per 4.0 packs. Only 2 were Golden.

133 "40 Dust-er" packs - so 57.1% of all packs were the bare minimum.

Overall I'm fairly pleased with this expansion. I seemed to be right around the generally-believed "averages" on openings. Only dark spots were 1) that most of the Legendaries I got were ones I haven't found good use for (yet?), so most of the Dust generated this expansion went to crafting the good Legendaries. 2) I know the "end Epic duplicates" has been discussed to death, but despite my getting 58 Epics - which could have given 2 copies each of every single Epic (54 card) and I'd still have 4 "extras" - I'm still missing 13 Epic copies (and that's also after crafting a handful). So it's kind of crazy to see in stark terms that ~30% of the Epics I opened were duplicates.

    • Just like you, I like to data my pack stats too. (the only pain is to write it every time I opened 1 pack)

      Lucky you getting 233 packs. Until today I've just opened 79 packs (including B'day event). So here goes.

      Total Legendaries : 6. (1 golden), No Duplicate ------> 1 / 13.1 packs

      Total Epics : 17 (1 golden), No Duplicate ---------------> 1 / 4.64 packs

      Total Rares : 94 (7 golden), 32 Duplicates (640 dust) (EDIT. I may missed something, because I also craft it from dust).

      Total Commons : 280 (9 golden), too many to write (920 dust)

       

      Missing 10 Rares, 34 epics, 16 legendaries. (Need at least 40200 more dust to complete it all)

      Complete Common cards at pack #72

       

      The only bad side is not coming from DoD, but SoU Pack Stats. from 110 packs, I ended up with fewer Legendaries & Epics.

      I got so mad getting so many standard cast from packs (4 Coms and 1 Rare, 4-5 packs consecutively and repetitive)

  • Opened 92 packs,

    got 5 legendaries - which is exactly as much as one might expect, longest span between was 28 packs, shortest 3.

    18 epics , one of them golden, 4 I now own twice,

    All rares except two, 29 double, 8 golden rares.

    All commons double since pack #76, 12 of them golden.

    20 packs of just dust, first was the #40.

  • After crunching the numbers on 416 packs over 3 regions:

    Descent of Dragons    
           
     CommonRareEpicLegendaryTOTAL PACKS 
    NA5621903211159 
    EU502160308140 
    ASIA416134296117 
           
    TOTAL14804849125416 
    %71.2%23.3%4.4%1.2%  
           

    Playing across 3 regions will skew the Legendary percentage up due to first 10 pack Legendary guarantee applying 3 times.

    Having a pack tracker makes these much easier.

    I just pasted the log in a text file and ran a few linux commands to produce 3 files, imported into Excel and made a quick table pasted above.

    e.g. 

    for REGION in NA EU ASIA; do

      grep $REGION packlog.txt | grep Dragons | cut -d ',' -f 2,3,4,5 | sed -e 's/\*//g' -e 's/ Dragons(//g' -e 's/)//g' > $REGION"_dod.txt"

    done

  • here is mine:

    239 packs

    11 legendaries (1 golden)

    55 epics (4 golden)

  • Source = Pity Tracker

    Golden cards:

    • 6 common
    • 6 rare
    • 0 epic
    • 2 legendary
