7. The chance for Chrisplotion to reach 109 chests 0 skins was roughly 13.2% Lucky him. That is not unreasonably unlucky in terms of thing that can happen, but 109 chests is definitely enough chests to come to the forum and be angry.
I’m quite aware of how random number generators work. If I come across angry that is not my intent, I am more disappointed than anything which is understandable. I am not doing this for profit but more acquiring the skins I need. Once I get enough Bauble Bubbles for my next skin, I will have gotten all the ones I need for my characters. So I will have no need to continue doing the dungeon unless I was doing it for a skin that is tradable which I am not. I was just hoping to get that lucky drop while doing the dungeon that I think anyone doing it would want to get at least once. I am not using the forum as a means to complain or be angry, more of a means to talk out my frustration with my fellow luckless members.
I’m with you 100%. It’s not just SAB that I personally have a problem with. I have just refrained from posting about other frustrations because this is the wrong place. Personally, I take issue with the RNG in general. Here is why.
I have an engi that has 40% crit rate. yet nearly every single hit with his FT is a crit. Same character decked out in MF gear including upgrades, squeezing every ounce of MF I can gets maybe one or two rares during 5-6 hours of farming. Don’t even get me started on event chests. I think I have seen 2 rares out of those ever. Exotic drops? 4 in all the time I have been playing. (over 1600 hours).
The reason it is the problem is that it has been said that farming is not something that they want as part of the game. Problem with that is, it is the only way you can possibly get the gear you need. You have to farm junk you and most other people don’t need so you can make the money for stuff you do need. This is just me expressing where my frustration comes from. What some folks don’t understand is, how is anyone ever going to know if there is a bug in an RNG if the explanation is always “bad luck”. On the other hand, how can anyone prove that such a bug exists? There is no way any of us could ever prove that an RNG is or isn’t bugged.
In my opinion, RNGs are an antiquated system. But really, what are devs going to do for drops? They can’t just give things away. The only other option is to have items on vendors only and have mobs, chests, etc just drop money. Where’s the fun in that?
