[Not a bug] Repeat Legendary Tasks

So you went from “zero doubt it was secretly fixed behind my back” to “still broken” within a few hours? What happened, did they secretly break it again because you caught on to them?

I somehow feel obliged to point out that a sphere is the round thing that looks like a marble. Apologies, no insult intended.

There’s no pity timer and every pull is in isolation, it doesn’t look at your previous pulls to see how many repeats there are.

There’s no need to allege anything, we’ve always been very transparent: of course the drops are weighted, you have less chance of getting a Mythic out of any LT, or chest type than of any other kind of reward, it’s weighted that way, and you’ve seen this yourselves with all the LTs you’ve pulled over the years.

If your only question is how many repeats do we need before we check if it’s bugged, I’ve already answered:

Tens of thousands of LTs have been collected since the change in our tests and in the live versions of the game and the drops are what we’re expecting.

I’ve explained also that of course you get repeats because the drop tables for LTs are so small. And within the less than 10 rewards that can drop from each of the 3 tables, many are the same resource type in differing amounts, so they’ll repeat but in a different order, ie. Maybe you’ll get event Keys from drop table one in your first LT and then event keys from drop table 2 in your 2nd LT < it looks like a repeat but it actually wasn’t in terms of talking technical pulls. Even if it did repeat from drop table 1, 2 and 3 - because of the small drop tables it’s expected.

So basically. It doesn’t matter how many are repeated (or appear repeated). It’s always working as intended. Got it. :+1:

No. I was simply wrong. :man_shrugging:
And try like 10-12 hours later. When it went from 23 LT - 50 LT. And I looked back at all the mail collected and saw a lot more repeats. So the first 23 only had one repeat. While the last 27 (yesterday) had 3 sets of repeats.

You’ll literally try to argue over almost anything. May I suggest you pick up a better hobby… Such as playing Gems of War.

The Earth…(the thing you live on) is in the shape of a sphere…

About 6 months ago I figured out a bug that seems to have only effected my guild for the past year. So you’ll excuse me if I don’t feel a lot of assurance from your past tests.
But based on the feedback on this thread.
The devs and player base are confident that LT are working exactly as intended no matter what.
So what I believe to be a bug… Was instead an intended nerf on my guild back in January 2018.
And if that’s the case. Then we’re done here. :grinning:

All guilds have an equal playing field when it comes to potential resources earned. There would be no reaosn to introduce a way to rig the rewards one guild gets over another, and doing so would be morally wrong.

So, to be perfectly clear, we have not gone in and manually tampered with only your guild. There is no point in doing so, and it would take a lot of time to do something that is completely meaningless. (And if we wanted to go even further down this rabbit hole, if we did rig rewards for one guild over another, it would actively harm our own game and playerbase. Not only does it not happen, it also makes no sense to do so in any capacity.)

On a similar note
When mythic release comes and I open thousands of chests, I often see the same legendary troop in a handful of openings
I guess that’s just the intended percentages too…
200 glory chests should average 1 legendary troop (.5%)
Getting 1 specific legendary troop out of 90+ legendary troops is barely over 1%
.01x . 005 = .0005
The fact that I get repeats should be astronomically low, but it happens EVERY time

Can you see why any long time player doesn’t believe a word said to us by the devs
Fool me once shame on you
Fool me 783 times…I’m so dumb I can’t put on pants

I believe you Salty.
But that trust therefore tells me that the LT are bugged. And that your tests aren’t detecting it then.
To be fair. . I made that thread a while ago that asked if the drop rate for mythic LT were the same for everyone 365 days a year. Without an answer… Up until now. I was only left with 2 possibilities for what is definitely an issue.
Basically… Mythic LT aren’t available for my guild 24/7. They just aren’t.

@Saltypatra Nobody has ever accused the pseudo-RNG to be anything but ‘streaky’. Can we have fan favorite @Ozball look at this and end the debate.

Pseudo random number generator?
Seed?
Salt?

Just so you’re aware, it’s mine and Salty’s job to communicate with the community and the programmers’ and QAs’ job to test the things. We’re repeating what the programmers, such as Ozball have told us to tell you guys, while they actually do their jobs of testing things, fixing bugs and programming.

I’m not pulling programmers away from their actual jobs to copy paste what I’ve already told you. I’m closing the thread as it’s already been answered.

If you’re not happy with the intended LT rewards, make a feedback thread about what you’d like to be changed and how in the feedback/feature request section.
