Awkward RNG for Unique Stones

That miserable RNG gives me this score :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl::

  • 5th run I got Genesis - most people got it very fast
  • 60 runs - no Evernight :rofl:
  • 60 runs - 4 Genesis :rofl:

Just to be clear: according to probability everything is correct :wink:

Thats rng sometimes. Took me 300 runs on sorc 1 to get both. 2nd sorc i gave up after 100 runs without getting them. Meanwhile my friends got both in under 40 runs on there mains and alts.

With 1 month left in the season i dont feel like grinding them out for the sake of having them. I already 1/2 shot everything as a metero sorc without them.

It however was nice having something seasonal that wasnt a participation throphy

Does seem a little weird to make a Seasonal gimmick have a tedious grind with a lower drop rate. I’d be fine with the grind for materials to farm Malphas if he had a higher drop rate to for his kidney stones.

I’ve killed him all of once for the seasonal objectives, and I keep seeing posts like these about the horrible drop rates, yea I’m good. I don’t need another mini-Duriel grind for a seasonal mechanic.

I would actually love to see just the code snip they are running to generate their RNG on drops. I swear to god if they are only doing “Ran(1, 6)” for a random number I will go Beast-Mode Gohan…

DBZ Gohan fighting Cell Beast-Mode? Fighting Bu Beast Mode? Or the new Dragon Ball where it’s a giant tournament arc with the teams of the gods?

I hardly think that leveling a character to >lvl90 and then farming 9 igneous whatevers and then running 4 separate mini-dungeons just so you can fight a last Boss qualifies as a participation trophy. Anyway I think you’ll made your stance on rewards in D4 very clearly by now, not having stuff is way better than having stuff. Weird but I guess OK.

I’ll stick with fighting Cell Beast-Mode for now, I wouldn’t want to overreact. :slight_smile:

Farming for items/power is the whole point of am arpg. Playing an arpg but not wanting to play an arpg is weird.

Thanks!
I would like at least 2-3 weeks to run both before seasons ends.
So I have around one week more to run.

Just to be clear: I am not crazy teenager maniac to play 24h/day - I have job, work and live…so 3-5 runs/day is max what I can affordable not to format this game :rofl: :sweat_smile:

If people would be able to take a look ar the algorithms that are run behind the scenes for the so called “RNG”, people would be up in arms, when instead of a simple random number generator, you’d find a very complex system that isn’t exactly fair.

There’s a reason why companies won’t ever show this side of their game systems, besides not wanting to leak parts of the code, and that is to not have people see just how fair or not mechanics are.

You can eat the meal they serve, but you can’t see inside the kitchen how it’s prepared.

Sure, you can get a general feel for how it’s done, but you won’t get written instructions on how to actually do it.

Most NRGs are not NRGs.
They dig with dirty hands non-stop in this engine during seasons to change parameters and add new codes to “improve” a game (make angry players) .

Do these drop from the boss, or the chests? Probably 80 runs in with neither, just curious. Kinda bored of trying.

Only chest. There is chance to get it from boss (I think is very low probability)

hahaha, the truth is it doesn’t make sense, 70 attempts and GENESIS, I lost my interest, a waste of time. :yawning_face: :smirk: :smirk: :smirk:

Yep, this is Dynamic RNG.
It exist such a thing, it is Blizzard “Dirty Hands” in code. I do not believe this is probability …simple they extend second game chance by reducing probability for second stone (if you get first one)
To make game more “playable” they increased probability for first gem (Genesis).

Just don’t farm it. It’s pointless, you’ll get it and then what. “Billion damage baby?”.
Nice but you can already clear endgame with 925 classic legendary power and standard unique doing tens million damages.

Gauntlet ? Unless you are a zoomer no lifer you won’t manage to get in top 100 cause the top player has every uber and stone and hundreds hours of play time. Not a fair competing ranking.

My advice play another game until s4.

People want to put logic behind bad luck. All my friends got both stones between 20-50 runs. I was the unlucky one. Took 80 for the first one and 300 for the 2nd.

I gotca shako in under 10 runs tho… RNG is RNG.

This isnt some maple story youtube video conspiracy.

I do not search pattern behind probability…this is department for Urban Legend people.

It is obviously that this RNG is tweaked. I know a lot people with same “issue” like me.

Dude, the game is one giant time sink. All for Blizzardo’$ “time played” metric. You are not their target audience… your wallet is.

Guys If you get duplicate stones, ask the party to chill for a minute. Log out, log into a character that needs the stone still, join the party, and go pick it up. Your drops are linked to the account, not the character. Thank me later
