Delves - Repeating Bountiful Loot Issue

Hi,

Despite the entire communities recommendation, I used a couple of keys on delves lower than 8. I accept my fate.

My issue is that I got 3 veteran level cloaks… I know we’re all subject to the RNG gods, but can blizz not do up some math to help us avoid getting dups for the same slot?

It literally just happens. This is the loot wheel and how they keep you playing. It’s not new? Been this way for 20 years

Didnt have this issue as we arent at a high ebough delve level that we wanna burn keys yet, but both my weekly pieces were for slots I already had 584+ in, so I feel your pain. Hoping to get up to T7 or maybe 8(i doubt it atm) and hopefully Ive got better luck.

Yeah I know, just wanted to complain.

I was 585 when i used my first key on a bountiful, i got a weapon, the very slot that i had just dumped all of my VP into for max upgrade because i thought i wouldn’t see one for a while lol

It may feel like the system is mocking you at times, but we just remember times like this more than we do when everything works out great :joy:

game mechanics working as intended :stuck_out_tongue:

since i have pants and an off hand fully upgraded and crafted some boots, I fully expect to see those 3 slots

Oh yeah, it’ll happen lol

I’m not waiting to spend my keys. I barely got through a level 5 delve on my Guardian Druid last night. It will be weeks before I can do a level 8 and I’ve received 6 keys in the first two weeks on that Druid while spending most of my time leveling alts to 80.

Remember similar in Dragonflight season 3 all the weekly rewards were cloajs one time was so painful and frustrating RNG is cruel sometimes :dracthyr_cry_animated:

Agreed.

Happy for those who can steamroll an 8, but not me yet.

We didnt have too much trouble in the 6 we did last night thankfully, but we run a prot pally and bm hunter duo. Going to try a 7 tonight and if that goes well an 8 tomorrow. If not we will use some keys on 7s, need the gear to progress.

Got the same trinket 2 in a row, which obviously was a dps loss to use :joy::joy::joy:

Just wait till you see all the weekly repeats in the great vault.

Well that’s how the Superbloom goes.

Oh you were talking about delves? My bad.

Actually, jokes aside, I just realized I got a cloak from my T8 delve last night lmao.

I know 2 people that also got 3 cloaks, maybe they have higher % chance to drop or just rng.

Yeah can’t wait haha

I do wish there was like a small internal cooldown to avoid dupes though. Like you get a cloak and the drop chance for the other items increases by some amount and the cloak chance reduces by some amount, and then resets after a number of loots or time passed or something.

This would only work for personal loot tables and not tables that are shared with other players in dungeons and raids.

Don’t think rng has any part to play. You’re so not likely to get 3 cloaks in a row. Seems like it’s busted. Or just prolonged process to gear hiding behind the infamous rng tag. But i might just be cynical… :laughing:

The chance of getting 3 cloaks in a row is something akin 1/13^3, which is 0.045%. We don’t need mechanics to protect from that; it’s protected well enough by virtue of simply being incredibly unlucky in the first place. Close to 1/2000 sets of 3 runs will result in a triplicate, it’s not common enough to worry about.

It’s very unlucky for an individual; it’s essentially guaranteed hundreds of times over for the population. It’ll happen, it’ll suck, and people will move on. On the other hand, other people will get zero duplicates and be insanely happy. RNG really is RNG.

Feeling a little frustrated as well - 3 champion cloaks in a row. We’ll see what # 4 bountiful delve gives.

But yeah, in a week or so, it won’t matter (unless i keep getting cloaks :frowning: )
