Karma. What it is, how it works.

In the last few days we've gotten a lot of new information about the karma system, spread across different threads. Here is the collective of that information, summarized and with sources.

What is it?
-Karma, is a "get around" from RNG, granting a jackpot.
-Karma is patron only.

How does it work?
-Karma collects from participating in Event Arkfalls.
-There is a separate karma for purchasing lockboxes.
-Accumulates across events.
-Getting a jackpot resets your Karma.
-There is no visible way to check your Karma, the item will either be sent to claims, or appear in your inventory seconds later.
-Jackpots from elite lockboxes doesn't reset Karma.

In regards to Karma resetting, as I have stated in other posts, it will not reset for any reason other than obtaining a jackpot.

Karma is the devs way of saying "pay more and we will improve the "randomness" in your rng.

This should be stickied. Good post

People are not complaining because they have played two days without a jackpot, they are beginning to ask questions because they were given expectations that have not been met. A lot of said "complainers" are getting close to 100 majors without an Oj let alone a jackpot while other players both patron and non-patron already have multiple jackpots with less majors completed. So yes people are going to start becoming skeptical and "complain"....and thank you Altras for spending the time to collect this info. and post it.

Being that Karma is account based, does that include both regions? I jump on the EU early in the morning for 30+ minutes then on to the NA servers for 6~8 hours throughout most days. If the systems counts for both as same account, then its going to put me in the position of avoiding my EU play.

I believe it would be different from server to server.

Id have to agree here been to 155 mjrs and not even an oj but my nonpatron clanmates have already pulled jps. I think we need more info from the devs because it doesnt seem to be working as advertised
