Me with 2 trinkets from delvs. :eyes:

You’ve validated the issue yourself here. This is like rolling 4 natural 20s. Yes it is possible, but very unlikely with proper RNG. Getting the same slot over and over suggests there is an error with Blizzard’s “random.” My suspicion is they oversaturated with cloaks again. Like if the die had 1-10, then everything else was a 20.

We are talking about Blizzard.

I’m positive it is “random” but you have to understand how patterns can appear and show mistakes. Anyone who did the weekly in Dragonflight knows the cloak issue. If I have 1 helm, bracer, chest, ect. but 5 cloaks, the chances for a cloak is higher than the rest. While which cloak we get might be random, getting a cloak is not.

i got waists back to back. at least the second one had leech added to it.

It’s not bugged. It’s rigged. :upside_down_face:

Thanks for proving to the rest of us you’ve never taking a probability and statistics course.

I am leveling 3 tanks. My druid got all the luck with 2 maps and all great items with great Stat combo. The other 2 kinda meh.

69

This is my first confirmation that we can get more than 1 map. I know the limit is supposedly 3/wk but nobody in guild / friends running delves has had a 2nd one drop yet, myself included. Glad to know its just bad RNG and not broken.

I have 4 of the same ring.

73

no, it suggests that your sample size is too small to make a determination.

You need to review the definition of “suggests.”

Also the chances of a proper random giving this result this early are so low, that this guy should be the only one who got it. Again possible, but I’d bet you if we look at the the loot table, that’s where the issue is.

75

Although the chances of getting a cloak 4 times in a row should be very low, it should be a lot higher than what some people might expect. This is because the items normally do not have the same chance to drop.

Powerful items such as weapons and trinkets tend to have a low drop chance while certain armor pieces usually drop more frequently. Loot has been like that for a long time.

you have nothing at all to back that claim up other than your hunch. a sample size of 4 shouldn’t “suggest” anything to you if you understand how probability works. and you have no idea what the possible loot table is. if there are 10 cloaks on it, that’s not an RNG issue, it’s a loot table issue :slight_smile:

77

I’ve experienced the same thing. World of Cloak Craft.

78

Not saying OP is right but the chance of a core piece seems astronomically low. I’m guessing to prevent players from transmuting heroic tier week 1. Between 12 drops nobody for a primary armor piece.

79

I’ve got 4 trinkets out of 8 chests. My alt has yet to get a repeated piece.

Yes, the chances are astronomically low. There’s also millions of characters doing these. Someone is going to hit that chance.

First five bountifuls I got 4 belts and 1 ring. Next two I got chest and legs; also a trinket from the map. Hoping my RNG did its nonsense those first 5 runs haha.
