Mythic unique cache, is it broken?

I have been dumb enough to try get a mythical unique. I am dadgamer and since I got a lot off stuff to do I can’t blast 24/7, and since the bosses wont drop any mythics I have gone the mythic cache route. I now have open 5 caches and gotten 4 melted heart of selig. This is insanely unlikely, which means it is designed.

This is actually sadistic.

To me D4 have been a disappointment, but diablo have been my franchise and the only games I have played in the last 20 years or so years but now I am downloading POE2.

This is just disrespectful.

Could be worse. You could have gotten Andy’s or the new SB Glaive.

I can say with moderate certainty that in past seasons the melted heart had the highest drop chance.

Everything in this game is weighted.

that’s not all, if you do tempers and masterworking, in this season 8, things changed like having the same unwanted tempers and masterworking 5 times in a row.

Melted Heart of Selig should be deleted from the game. It’s pure trolling to have it as a heavily weighted drop from those caches. If you’re not angry enough, just know that some smiling sadist did that on purpose.

Got mine from the purveyor. Wasn’t gunning for it, was looking for a decent amulet but gives me this trash. Immediately got the spark for it.

I’ve been complaining about the same unwanted temper multiple times in a row since masterworking was brought in. They said they fixed it a couple of seasons ago but it still happens WAY WAY WAY too often. The odds of getting the same result 5 times in a row with 3 choices is 1 in 243 but feels like 1 in 5.

same WTF feeling for 5 times in a row right? i had that many times in this season.

this season 8 gets very obvious. must be the RNG weightage got shifted to even worst.

I scrapped two swords and bought the cache and got another sword… but the worst thing was… the blacksmith forgot to put a small package of gummibears inside. So now im HANGRY!!! :see_no_evil:

I got just 2 sparks, went to craft a random purple, i get that useless polearm

I stant salvage

Blizzard has shown they can’t do math so their RNG really is nonsense.

There is that video of them saying something like 1000 x40% =1040%. It’s real I’m not making that up. The numbers involved may have been different.

Ah here it is.

“My math isn’t even this bad” - Quin reacts to Blizzard Math

Also 1200 x1.2=1400 according to them. And we trust this people with mathematical values.

At least in the video you shared Quin understands that it is just the editor who messed up and not the devs.

You just bad luck, look at this 21 Mythic Unique cache, he only get one Heart. Scroll to 5:00 for RNG cache.

What you need is more cache. RNG only can full express its probability when the the sample size is large enough.

In the video above you also can say Melted Hearted has low weigh with 1 out of 21 :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

Don’t believe Tempering and Masterworking is weighted. I burned all my veil crystal yesterday try to masterwork triple critical chance on Starless Sky, as I kept getting core skill. While I spent a lot of mats to triple core skill Starless Sky two months ago. Unless you think that items in D4 has evolved the ability to read player’s mind.

If Blizzard don’t want you to get the affix with tempering, they will remove it from the recipe. Like Sorc Convulsion and Chance to Freeze were removed this season after Blizzard Buff Convulsion.

While I am typing this, I just get a double hit on Inner Flames with Amulet with my last 1K Veil Crystal without reset. 3rd hit is on other good affix. It is just pure RNG

FYI, Inner Flame and all passive skills are weighted within enchantment, but not on Masterworking.

I couldn’t tell you how the exact process works but I doubt the devs or whomever give the editors math problems to solve. There is also such a thing as proof reading. Letting something like that come out as is is an equal level of incompetence.

Lol, that is not how statistic works. Its usually bias because people with bad luck tend to complain and people with regular drops say nothing.
Every time someone does a statistically relevant measurement the results look fine.

[EDIT after checking the odds ^^]
I do agree though, that the odds are very unlikely.

We could make a community effort and let everyone gamble a Mythic and collect all results to see what the actual chances are. It will require a lot of data though, probably more than we’ll find in this forum.

When did they say they “fixed it”. To my knowledge there was never any public confirmation for broken RNG.

10 Sparks and you play “only” sometimes?

Something sounds a little bit odd here.

But besides this, you have 4 new sparks and can do 2 more. And then maybe even one more.

Three more Melted hearts! Yupeee!

Yesterday i got a 4 GA doombringer and a 4GA Heir… i scrapped them because i wanted a Melted heart of Selig…

Blizzard and its real fake rng with weighted tempers, uniques, and mythics lol. Either this has been an rng bug for 2 years and no one knows or it’s intentional anyway, but how could no one have noticed all this time right? It’s clearly intentional unless they don’t play their game ever.

Got to make that rng feel gooderer! Oh it feels so good!

We’re all just playing Diablo Grand Casino simulator. The problem is it isn’t hooking anyone but annoying them.
