Primals dont drop anymore, active Altar

Hi,
me and my friend looting over 4 days over 300 rifts on level 100 -120. But theres no primal. The same as by Kadala and Headrik. Kanai is also no primal.
Is there a bug?
Thanks for Helping

Bad luck is still not recognized as a bug :slight_smile:
Maybe tomorrow you will acquire 10.

Just asking have you and your friend done a solo 70 GR? To have primals drop you have to do that first.

2 Primal double drops for me in the last couple of hours. More looks like rngesus hates you. Don’t be upset, he hates most of us most of the time, so it is not personal.

I play mostly DH. In the thousands of Yang’s drops/upraded rares/reforges over the last 10 years of ROS, I have gotten one and only one Primal one and it rolled horribly. RNG is RNG.

I was playing on one of other accounts yesterday. I got 3 drops of 2 plus that happen with maybe 200 drops too.

I do to play mostly DH How many yangs you? I have extra ones on 2 accounts. LOL

Like I said. I play a ton of DH. On average, I find/upgrade/re-forge easily 100 Yang’s on average to get a decent ancient one. For the 19 seasons that we have had Primals, I would have encountered easily 2000 Yang’s. Out of all that, I have gotten one terribly rolled Primal one.

As for how many I actually have on my account at this moment, it would be 5. One on NSHC, one on SHC, one on NSSC, one on SSC, and the garbage Primal I got (I like trophies)

As for the OP, is my account bugged for Primal Yang’s? No. Simple matter of rngesus hating me.

That is about right. I never go by the drop rate. I have always said Primals drop when they drop. I had 35 drop in season 18 or 19. I have friends only got 1/2 and played as much as I did or more.

All the game is luck. It has nothing to do skill, or the level you play. It all about when they drop they drop. Like I said I got 6 with in about 200 drops. I could go now a long time without a drop too. But you never know when the next one will drop.

Exactly and this is one of the biggest gripes I have had with D3 over the years. Not everyone wants to play slot machines or buy lottery tickets all day.

I wish they had put in some options to mitigate some of the outrageous RNG in this game if players choose. One that would be perfect would to have a cube recipe where you spend 10x the re-forge cost and get a randomly rolled ancient version of the item or spend 400x the re-forge cost and get a randomly rolled Primal version of the item. Now there is 2 ways to get the same result. The cost is the same both ways. The long term odds are the same. The difference is, players can choose if they want to play the slots, or earn what they are shooting for.

yes we have. first one solo gr 70 now we play gr120

Number of events: 200
Probability of success per event: 0.25%
Number of successes: 6

Probability of 6 success: 0.001238%

There’s roughly a 12 in a million chance this is true.
If so, you should have bought a lottery ticket that day.

Why do waste your time. Every time I write some thing about drops. You have to tell me how it works. WOW I have been play the game from day one. I don’t care about you or any body else STATS!!! Understand something I don’t care about your STATS!!!

Plus from this point on you write anything you want. If you do I won’t not see any more do you understand what I’m saying?

At this point, I’m responding to show others how it works because you don’t care.

No, I’m pointing out to anyone other than you that might be reading, and interested in how it actually works, how it actually works.

Whether you care about them or not, whether you understand them or not, whether you believe them or not, they affect everybody’s drops, including yours. Other people might care / be interested. They’re certainly going to think that you saying something that has a 12 in a million chance of happening, which just happens to confirm your narrative, is more likely to be hyperbole than true.

Yes, you’re saying that you’d rather ignore facts and statistics than listen to them.
Not everyone’s like you. Some folks care about how stuff actually works.

Even that is blatantly wrong if taken literally.

This reminds me of someone’s grandma saying to ignore what they tell you in school. :thinking:

You have to understand why I said that. The thing is they go by the drop rate to me doesn’t add up. You should get 1 maybe every 400 drops. So lets look what he said.

If this is true then they each should have between 8 to 9. But wait with the Altar it should be more like 16 to 18 primals. 12x300 = 3600 drops. Plus you look at Kadala too. They could have had another maybe 750 to 1000 drops from her.

But wait they don’t have any Primals do they. All the stats come from people playing the game on any kind drop. Blizzard has never ever given any kind of official drop rate on anything in the game.

Every time I talk about drop rates this guy always throws up his Stats that I really don’t care or believe in.

This is true, but the main Bot site tracks all the drops from their bots and publishes the stats with detailed breakdowns by item type and quality, so we have a very good idea what the drops rates are for every item in the game.

At the beginning of each season, there are upwards of 10M drops counted each day.
