From Discord: Thank you all so much for joining raids, and for being patient with us while we make adjustments to keep it fair and rewarding.
I wanted to explain how the rewards & boss power works, and what we are doing to improve it.
[WIN CHANCE]
Raids win % depends on player power vs boss power. If lost, no items are dropped, but everyone can claim XP rewards. We made the boss have 50% of player power from the previous raid, which is a ~66% win chance, but ONLY if player power is the same again.
We had an incredible 128,553 characters join the first raid with 1,760,471,295 power, which made the second boss have 880,235,647 power.
There were "only" 64,177 raiders that time around, with 907,493,486 power, it was a near ~50% chance, and unfortunately the raid was lost.
I realize this is harsh and we should have made the boss weaker until raids were balanced.
I have reduced the boss power of the third raid to 1,
and will reduce for the next few raids if player power is low. We didn't know how many players would join and how often, we could only learn that together with you. We will use the info to make the boss fair in the future.
Every character has a chance at two drops. A common and a rare drop. (but ONLY if the raid is WON)
Common items are LB dust, 2-3 star swords/junk,
Rare drops are 4-5 star swords/junk, key boxes & 4B/5B dust.
Your chance depends on the character's power (with weapon) compared to the average. Average is around 14,000 right now. Common drops are always at least 25%, Rares are 0.74%, and at average power, Common is 87%, Rare is 8.36%. At 2x average, Common is 93%, Rare is 14.8%. Remember, this is per-character, so a team of 4 gets a chance at 4 common and 4 rare drops.
In case of victory, 5% players also get bonus XP:
2.5% get 300 xp
1.5% get 600 xp
0.5% get 900 xp
0.3% get 1500 xp
0.15% get 3000 xp
and 0.05% get 6000 xp
I understand raids cost a lot of gas. We want to balance the rewards and entry fee to make it worthwhile for all of you, and we would love to hear your feedback on drops, win %, and what other rewards we should offer (not skill, sorry)
There will be small improvements to gas in the future.
We want to add a way for you to see your rewards before spending gas on it, so you can decide if it's worth it. We will also show a history of raids so you can see which ones had a victory or loss. This will take some time.

That's all for now. Thank you
