Nightfall crates are bugged?

GeorgeYung

So I just opened 15 nightfall crates.

Many of the card were missing the picture when I draw them and all the time when I get a 5th card, the UI bugged for a second and it was an epic card.
I got 3 bonus (5th) card, and all of them were epic.
The total 15 crown crates rewarded me with 86 gem....

I always knew crown crates are borderline scamms, however with all the breaking UI and the repeated epic rewards from the bonus card makes me think this crown release was not a 100% success, at least not to us

'(Please note: A small number of the Nightfall Crown Crate item cards are missing the item image when in the Crown Crate open screen - example below. This is a known issue and will be fixed in a future incremental patch.)' - From the Official Crown Crate Article thread.

RNG Crates are RNG so personal experience doesn't really say much. But I opened 15 Crates, and got 0 Radiant, 0 Apex, but 2 Legendary: the Bear (ugh the worst gold lol) and an Experience Scroll (at least I was able to Gem-extract that one). So golds do have a chance of dropping. You can look at some compiled statistics at https://www.crowncrates.com/nightfall (no data for the new ones yet, only the older Crates), and generally drop rates are abysmal.

So really, don't buy Crates expecting to get good drops.

People been saying this for years but they still get bought in their troves.

This does not seem to be a good time to open those crates. I opened 30 of them and got:

0 Radiant, 0 Apex, only 3 bonus cards overall, only 3 golden cards and out of those I got one custome and two xp scrolls..

Worst droprate I have seen so far.

I'd like to point out that it's the first day of the crates. Everyone is opening crates, so I suspect that the game rng works differently depending on how many people are spinning the wheel. Of course I can't prove this, but it just seems like I get better drops after the first day.

I opened 30 crates and I got 6 bonus cards, 5 out of them were an epic drop. The last one was an Apex mount.

Than I realized the Apex mount has zero new animation/sound/effect anything really. It's just a re-skin of the basic mounts.
This was my worst crow crate experience. The quality of the item you can won is not in line with previous crates. I am very disappointed in that regard.

Anyhow the drop rates do seem worst than usual, it might be because of the first day/week or anything really... it doesn't even matter if you won crap rewards

So I guess don't buy Crates expecting to get quality items? pff
