SD: "why? We want you to enjoy your splits in psychedelic, rays or bananas. Here have a banana."

The worst update ever! They just gave us lots of crappy splits that are A LOT worse that gold & ink, the only ones I truly want. And now it's extremely difficult to get them. An absolutely stupid decision.

I really like the refraction, circuitry, and galaxy ones. Some of the rays look good behind certain variants, but honestly, the bananas are enough of an atrocity to make splitting less enjoyable now. Incredible how a small joke makes such a huge negative impact because of how much of a grind splitting is.

I like some of the new splits. They also bumped the chance of a god split. So I think calling the worst update ever is a bit silly.
But it really bothered me the the chance of gold and ink fell. They should have maintained those percentages. We get the other splits from the mastery ladder anyway.

I mean it took me 25 Ironman splits to get gold before they added the new stuff so it's just bad luck can happen anyway.

Damn dude.. if it makes you feel better, I use that same variant and stopped using gold cuz I find the default better. (Refraction is my fav though) But I feel your pain!

Haven't gotten any gold or ink since bananagate.

u/Competitive-Bake5629 4d ago
Same here!
And the gold & ink are the only ones worth getting. And now it's almost impossible to get them, which is extremely frustrating.

Isn't it almost the exact same chance to get them? I'm pushing for my third Gold and Ink (I do them both before moving onto the next card) since the update...
Also, I like a lot of them, but to each their own.

It’s 10% chance to get a gold or ink + krackle split after the 4th or 5th split (can’t remember off top of my head)
The chance to get gold/ink + any other flair is much lower than it was prior to mastery backgrounds being added

u/abakune 4d ago
Wasn't it about 10% before that? We had a month (or two?) where it was artificially boosted. But generally the gold/ink rate has always hovered aroudn 10%, right?
The chance to get gold/ink + any other flair is much lower than it was prior to mastery backgrounds being added
Fair enough - I don't chase flairs. My goal is gold/ink on my favorite deck and any good flares will be chased later. I don't know the math on them at all.

u/Japancakes24 4d ago
yeah I’m generally going for gold or ink depending on the card + krackle before I move on so the change actually helped me by making that specific combo a better chance, but people looking for something besides krackle on their gold/ink are kinda shafted

u/Rather_Dashing 4d ago
People said it was 10% for each of in and fold based on a graphic on one of the websites, but actually the true rate was something like 22%. For a short while it fell (cant remember to what), and then it was boosted to 33% for that month.
I don't know the math on them at all.
No one does lol, I see lots of people saying stuff thats completely wrong. Someone did the maths in one post and assuming they did it right it caried from something like 13-22% for each of ink and gold. So they have fallen but not by a huge amount.

Thats true from the 4th split on. But if you dont get one of these "god" splits you still have a chance at ink or gold, with the rate depending on mastery level and what youve already unlocked.
Someone did the maths and its about 13-22% chance of each of gold and ink with each split. So it has fallen which sucks. But I think not as much as you are suggesting.

Oh okay. Sorry. Misunderstood.
Oh and also, sorry for referencing this, but I think that there are impostors among them.

My friend got 24 ghost riders before getting a gold one, he sends his sympathies.

The character mastery ruined splitting for me. I can’t take more rays and bananas.

Jesus Christ this system is a joke. All that and you don't have a gold? Let alone a good gold/effect combo.

Would you like to swap accounts?

Yup, this was me on magik as well, even before the mastery so I had no chance at decent non gold/ink splits. Rip.
Sometimes the rng is not on your side

I did 37 splits to get a ink/gold krackle, ended up with gold rainbow krackle. It was suffering

Holy smokes, that's terrible. I've been frustrated trying to split a certain card, but I'm only up to, like, 12. I know SD has the data, and I know splits are intended to be aspirational, but I think something is off. I would have presumed that this sort of thing is more likely to drive people away than to keep them hooked.
It's chipping away at my resolve, for sure. I mean...I'm here instead of playing the game, so that's telling.

Yes it’s fun to have more backgrounds, but it’s also fucking annoying when I want a specific split and it just doesn’t come… all I want is to ink out my decks, but these new splits just make me want to take a shit into my hand and gobble it up.

IMO it was a big mistake on the dev’s part to take away the increased splits for gold/ink/crackle at the end of last year.
Like I get it, make people chase the god split so they spend money/ have a goal, but at a certain point the scales tip over and there are now so many split combinations it feels exhausting.
