The RNG is definitely designed to “streak” instead of true RNG. Likely in a failed attempt to manipulate people into playing more when they’re on a hot streak.
It’s why you get the “calculated” >0.1% events multiple times in a day. It’s not that you’re really lucky and should buy a lottery ticket, or unlucky and need to avoid leaving the house that day. It’s just the design of the game.
In 10 gw battles this week I have 104 souls earned. These are the 4 you earn per battle, plus summons. 64 summons in 10 battles. Tell me about “streakiness” now…
Gws is basically a showcase of how to exploit all the bugs and “features” in this game. Its a cesspool and you can clearly see it.
Depending from your armor and other bonues (like pets), you probably earn more than 4…
like having deathknight armor equipped doubles souls gained, having dragonguard armor gives 50% bonus…
104 souls - 80 (8 souls per battle) = 24 souls = 12 summons… doesnt look so creepy now, does it ?
No these were counted from the x/40 on the battle screen.
I should also clarify, they were all bandits, spiders and Infernal kings resurrects. None were from 100% rate weapons (i.e Jar of eyes), etc. So that amount with a 25/35% rate is not streakiness, its the norm in the current state of the game.
Is this error limited to a specific platform? I was playing for a little while this morning on Android and didn’t encounter it. Just curious if I should be avoiding the game for a while or not.
Last Saturday/Sunday numerous server issues for me in the Midwest US to China. But no issues reported between the East Coast and Europe.
I expected to see some in game mail compensation or a post about it on the forums since the server issues prevent even this website from being accessed.
Zero word at all about it. We might need a dedicated thread titled “It’s 12 o clock somewhere, do you know what your server is doing?”.
As those who tried to preorder next gen learned. Bots can be hell on servers. And when the devs are too busy to keep watch, the cheaters run rampant.
So when certain servers are getting hit harder than others. I blame it on the botters. I did a pull a while back about how much time devs should spend trying to remove cheaters. I feel like the mass player base fails to realize how much cheating resonates into your personal experience with the game.
