Just so you all know it's working as intended... I've had 7, 7, 7 corns for the first 3 resets so far. Seems to be close to a 20% drop rate or one per 5 missions you do.

I have 7 all togather, from all 3 resets.
4 of which dropped on the first one, 2 in the second and 1 in the current last one.
Just plainly stupid this is.
That does not mean "working as intended," that means "You got lucky." It's definitely not a 20% drop rate. Probably closer to a 10% (at least assuming that their random number calculator isn't completely broken). Would be statistically very rare for someone to be able to go through all the maps in the event and get 0-1 drops at 20%-- much more plausible at 10%, and since it's happened to multiple people, that would suggest either a broken / streaky RNG or a lower rate.
Eleven corns so far with one more tile to beat before reset and all tiles cleared for previous resets. Hoping for at least one more in the next four battles to hit the "average" of four per reset. I'm hopeful because I feel like higher stages are more likely to drop corns, but I know that's likely superstition as I never had a drop after stage 20 in my first run. It's annoying because unlike Halloween I feel like I'm doing really well, but in the end its going to be some random algorithm deciding if the effort was worth it. If there were other nice things in the event shop that you could only get with RNG then so be it, but corns are ONLY for the third t95, and getting the elite tank is everyone's goal. I still like this event more than Halloween, but it's very far from perfect.
I have to disagree, one person getting 7-7-7 and others getting 1-1-1 IS "working as intended".
It's just the intent is to shaft people that get unlucky, to (hopefully) get them to use some cores to make up for for their bad luck. If the developers were feeling particularly predatory, they'd slant the odds based on how much money you've previously spent.
One of the reasons I have a personal rule to never pay for anything related to "RNG" in games. I don't know they aren't manipulating the RNG to try to get me to spend more once they know they've got a spender.
If their goal was to incentivize spending, they'd get more people within one or two basket purchases of obtaining the goal, not make people say fuck it, I'm not spending 2,500 cores on ten RNG chances to only maybe catch up.
This is not working as ANYONE intended.
Ok so I forget that Sarcasm does not translate well on the internet. I know i'm an outlier in this and have been VERY lucky since the more research i've done the more it seems the actual drop rate is indeed closer to 5-10%.
I do wonder how I was able to get such a good drop rate tho, statistically if the actual drop rate is much less, then the chance of getting 7 three resets in a row is quite low.

Low, but not zero (hooray statistics). The larger the sample size, though, the more it will tend towards average-- so if there were lots of people with 7-7-7- and a few with 1-1-1 then it would indeed seem to indicate a higher (20%) chance, but when it's skewed the other way that tends to suggest that the 7-7-7 is the outlier.
