Golden Legendary resetting pity timer (regular expansion pack)

Golden legendaries do not reset the pity timer for non golden legendaries.

I've opened a golden legendary (Whizbang) from a regular pack and the pity timer got reset. All the packs were opened one by one (I've never used the multipack opening feature).

I am using these settings with the plugin in hsreplay

I am using version 1.4.21 of the pack tracker.

Is this the intended behavior or is this a bug?

Well, this is not implemented yet - as you saw in #22 , the pity timer of the in-game overlay respects this. I would say this is a bug, but I have no idea how to show golden in this window - it looks weird i I create pity timer for all 7 types (epic, legd, golden common, rare, epic, legd, sig legd).

So should I deactivate this "Separate Golden Pity Timer" option?

My thoughts:
My imagined intended behavior would be for the pity timer graph to not have changed (to not confuse one about the needed packs for a guaranteed legendary - or even change the average packs bought to pull a legendary, a.k.a. dashed blue line).

I can't say for everyone, but my use case for this plugin is to track whether I should buy more packs of a certain type (whether the number of packs needed for a guaranteed legendary is less than the 1 in 20 expected value).

For my purposes, the 361 pack pity timer for golden / signature legendaries is way beyond my usual numbers (though it may happen for standard packs across several expansions, although I usually don't buy these types of packs), so I won't make a feature request or recommend implementing it.
