[Not a Bug] "This Fox Rocks" event not working as announced

[AMT]

@OminousGMan

Some changes were made for the “This Fox Rocks” event to the frequency of how often rare battles appear.

So: is the apparent change whereas players no longer seem to be seeing the same battles (based on player reports in this thread) also an intended change, or an IP2programming™ side-effect?

@Courtaud

I had Inari as first battle.

@Avathar

I haven’t had an Inari battle offered after 50 battles played

@Duskraider72

I bought to Tier 5 and used up all my sigils and still no inari

For almost 3 years, World Events have been working as described by Mithran below:

@Mithran

Ran through a couple dozen battles on a couple accounts. The order of battles revealed appeared to be static from player to player. According to the first post, the battles are random. The only way to reconcile both being true is to think of each battle as a card within a deck, having one deck shuffled and that order copied to every single player. The first five battles are the same for everyone, and every battle revealed was the same “next card” *regardless of which one was selected.

@Mithran

Basically, all “randomness” was resolved before the event even started and that same order is used by everyone.

So if there has been any deliberate change (à la “now we use autobans but didn’t tell you” or the Vault Event periodicity fiasco), it would be good to inform players…

…otherwise might wanna check if the code still gives all players the same battles, even when some are rarer than others.
