"The Soul" card showing chance is too low.
After playing 20 hours of Ghost Deck, I finally unlock Legendary achievement.
Dev really should slightly increase the chance of "The Soul". :er_sweat:

03/02 note: *I think Dev did increase the chance now, I can feel it. (Or maybe just start getting lucky?)

I just got 2 in one run after complaining about it lol. Both cards I had already unlocked though. I think the best strategy for hunting the last ones is holding R to reset runs picking up mega arcana pack by skipping blinds. Boring but it seems to be working faster.

I somehow managed to play 34 wheels of fortune in a row without a single one procing.
That's a 1 over 17747 chance (ChatGPT did the math).
I thought it was a bug.

Then, somehow, it proced 3 times in the same run.

Does The Soul appear too rarely?

I would not change anything about it for ante 1-8. However, past ante 8, I'd be okay with increased odds of getting one. Else, how long until I get a Triboulet endless going, without copying a seed?

2x to 3x more likely to get a Soul past ante 8 would not guarantee getting one by ante 12, for example, but I'd be happy with that. Make it more common than that and it no longer feels special, which would ruin it for me.

Feels like the drop rates have changed, as I didn't see it once in 0-30hrs of playing, but have now found 5 of them in the last 5hrs!

It took me 42 hours, and it is the only one I've found. Just that once. I'm up to 50 hours played now, no idle time. Lots of time spent beelining for Spectral and Tarot packs, since after 20+ hours I started getting more than a little impatient.
Then two of my friends find it within 5-10 hours of played time.

Please fix. This cannot possibly be how it should be. It's legit pissing me off.

What's the big deal? You've already found it once, so you know it's around. Imagine playing that length of time and not finding one at all, like a very small minority has to deal with.

Also, what is there to fix? For two of your friends it's working just fine; it's only you having bad luck with it, and there will always be outliers to the bell curve. Embrace your isolation!

I think the drop rate is okay, it's the fact that it can only appear in packs that is really frustrating. If the Soul card could replace tarot cards in the shop, you could grind for it. A 0.3% drop rate *and* only appearing in packs is leading to many players never even seeing the legendary jokers. I've played 45+ hours of this game and not seen any Soul cards, despite opening nearly every spectral and tarot pack I get.

0.75^34 is ~5.65e-5
1/~5.65e-5 is ~17697.7

People are getting too reliant on AI.
