Snow Globe

Your name goes pink in the SG roster waiting for you to return to either the path of the straight & narrow for hero groups or the path of might for the villain groups.

Villains and Rogues can access villain bases.
Heroes and Vigilantes can access hero bases.

If you are the super leader of the group and you go to the opposite alignment, you get demoted and someone else takes your place.

I found it last night while ToTing.

Introduction
Warning, picture heavy as I really don't want to spend the time converting these to text. I should note that all these trials took place on the Triumph Server. Usually between 4pm and midnight pacific time on week nights, and 6pm and midnight pacific on weekends.

Part 1: Charts
For those that will have their heads swimming at the tables that follow, here is a simple graph breaking down the results.



Here is the overall percentages for the common/uncommon/rare/very rare tables.



Here is the percentages for the common/uncommon/rare/very rare tables for the 04/05/2011 patch (Issue 20). If you thought that you were getting a lot of uncommons during the first few weeks of Issue 20, you were not mistaken.



Here is the percentages for the common/uncommon/rare/very rare tables for the 04/26/2011 patch. This patch was supposed to fix the uncommon percentage by increasing the chances for higher level rewards. Instead it increased commons while decreasing uncommons.



Here is the percentages for the common/uncommon/rare/very rare tables for the 06/28/2011 patch (Issue 20.5). This patch introduced the Keyes trial. This patch significantly reduced rare drops.



Here is the percentages for the common/uncommon/rare/very rare tables for the 09/13/2011 patch (Issue 21 Head Start). This patch introduced the Underground Trial to the game, as well as brought some players back.



Part 2: Spreadsheets
Here is a straight breakdown of fails/threads/common/uncommon/rare/very rare by trial by major patch change. I think the numbers pretty much speak for themselves.



Here are the previous tables, turned into percentages.



This table is for those that are mainly interested in the distribution of trial rewards, not including fails and threads.



Breaking down the numbers further, here are the results of the various Archetypes by patch. Yes, I tend to play controllers more than anything else.



Here is the character breakdown. Yes, White Succubus is my badge character and tends to be played the most, so it isn't suprising that she has the most trial experience.



As you can see, each character has widely different luck with the trials. This should hopefully give players a starting point for a discussion about overall trial rewards, difficulty/popularity of some trials over others, and provide a better picture of what is happening with PUG Incarnate Trials as opposed to having a select group to do the trials with.

Oh, and before Zwillinger does it:

Great, I forgot the year token.

The year badge/token is actually the one I'm least concerned with. The system should be accurately figuring that out. On the other hand, it should be on the account page already, with no excuses. This is something that requires nothing from the Paragon Studio's development team for.

Why the monthly Paragon Rewards, Paragon Points, or Server Transfers have to do anything beyond checking if the account is active has yet to be explained. It should be as simple as your billing date comes up, here are your rewards: 1 Transfer Token, 400/550 Paragon Points, and 1 Paragon Reward Token.

If it is more complicated than that, someone needs to be reprimanded and told to simplify it. The also need to come to the players and apologize for all the confusion.
