How?


Blood Spectre

 

Posted

I have been playing for five years. In all that time, I have rolled hundreds of times on recipes and never once have I received a LOTG 7.5, Miracles or Numina's unique.

I got my wife into the game less than a year ago. In that time, in less than 20 rolls, she's gotten 2 numina's and 4 LOTGs! And then, just tonight, doing the ITF, a boss drops another LOTG for her.

How? I am almost at a loss for words. About the only thing I can say here is to quote Yosemite Sam: "Rassinfrassin....." grumble grumble

Random Number Generator is random. If it makes you feel any better, I've never gotten any of those either.

I get good stuff all the time. I also get my fair share of vendor trash.

Short version, you cant get a good roll unless you make sure you make as many rolls as you can. Always look to maximize your merits earned per time spent at the monitor and your results will improve considerably.

Even so, it IS still random, so if you're doing that and it still doesn't work, well, sucks to be you.

I do believe that the term is "Sod's Law", or alternatively "bloody typical"


How many legs does a dog have if you call the tail a leg? Four; calling a tail a leg doesn't make it a leg.

It's called irony. It's been my nemesis for years.

I've got a miracle +rec once. That's about it for the big three. A friend once gave me a numinas for free, though.

Well, none of those enhancements existed for the first few years you played, so that will skew your drops/year calculation.

It's the random number generator's attempt to keep partners interested in the game. As long as she keeps playing, it's doing its job.

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

Some RNGs check the mouse coordinates or the time of day for their algorithm. Ours checks gender?

Got a LOTG 7.5 today! Can't remember the last one though. Purps on the other hand I never get!

I, on the other hand, got 4 purples in a weekend but have never gotten any of the big three IO recipes.



...I forgot what experience means.

Same here. I've gotten multiple purples back-to-back within a few minutes, but never rolled anything worth anything. I've rolled dozens of times, and I think my highest roll was worth about 20 million crafted. Other than those, though, I am the Trap of the Hunter King.


Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.
